I Judge Sturgis is disqualified as he I was formerly an attorney In the case, I and by provision of law, the cause I had to be determined by the nearest I judge. This brought the case here N again. Attorney Eichhorn, repreI senting Studabaker, arrived that ev- | enlng and filed the petition before I Judge Merryman, who heard same, at I the clerk’s office. He granted a tem- ■ porary restraining order, until Thursday of next week, , when he will go I to Bluffton to jteear th# petition on I its merits. * 1 1 . ■ I • I The News said Monday night: The ■ •. I latest turn in the fight for. the ppsses- | sion of the big Faylor farm north of the city in litigation in the civil I courts for \the past Seven years, I ' threatens to result in violence, and the farta has been the scene of almost continuous conflict today of more or less seriousness. The News was informed, this afternoon that Sheriff Lipkey had' * been called into the case to the extent that he had been ..asked tp go to the farm to avert threatened violence If possible, and he drove down after dinner. The prospects of a,serious clash came this morning, when a proposition asked of and submitted by the attorneys for the heirs had been ignored by Mr. Studabaker and he proceeded to try to place in charge a new tenant Samuel Neff who has been residing in this city, and whom he employed as successor to John H. MIL ler,.who this week moves to the county Infirmary as superintendent. W. H. Eichhorn attorney for Mr. Studabaker stated this morning that the only offer In thd form of a . compromise offered by the attorhqys for, the heirs was I , that they permit Mr. Studabaker to have possession -of' the farm until , January first tb take care of this year’s crop, when he was to surrender possession permanently and drop a motion fornew trial- or an appeal i In Mr. Studabaker, under this offer, was also to pay the verdict ! of possession and $2,000 damages 1 ''awarded by the Decatur jury. This': would also mean that he pay, treats i of past litigation. After refusing to l accept this offer, Mr. Studabaker, went to the farm with his new tehaat ' and both were ordered off the place * and claimed that hands were laid upon i them by Jacob Stout and Peter Fay-j< lor, who took charge of the farm last 1 1 Saturday. Mr. Studabaker retard < to the city and later went back to the i farm with reinforcements of several;, men. There was further conflict this i time and one report is to the effect 1 that Stout and Studabaker both fell j In a scuffle, but escaped injruy other ; than bruises. Studabaker got up and >•] " went into the house which J. H. Miller 1 still occupied as tenant Reports of i ti|ls latter mixup said to have resulted In reinforcements, having started to the farm for the Faylor and ,‘Stoptp garrison and the danger of Zealous ( conflict led tb the request for Sheriff e Lipkey to go to the scene.

Cloyce Roop, a son of James Roop, of route six, east of this city, was fatally Injured it is feared in an accident which occurred at a gravel pit in Illinois, a few days ago, the story of the accident being told in the foli lowing j dispatch sent to the press: J Dundee, HJ., August 28.—Cloyce Roop, 18 years old, an employe of the Richardson Sand and Gravel company, , whose pits are located between Carpentersville and Algonquin, was probably fatally injured this morning while at work. Aty present every effwt to save the. boy’s life is being made by Dr. Krueger of Carpentersville and Jlr. Kerch of Dundee at St. Joseph’s hospital, Elgin- Roop, in attempting ,to step over the succession of j ropes which guide six giant pulleys which In turn control the stone crush 5 - er, tripped and fell across the rophs. In an instant he was carried into the pulleys. Five workmen employed in the pit at the time witnessed the accident The power controlling the machinery was instantly shut off and the mangled frame of the lad, lifted tenderly from the ropes. Physicians were summoned immediately. Dr. Krueger ordered the removal of the boy to St Joseph’s hospital, Elgin, in a desperate effort to save his life. Roop is not well known in Carpentersville. He came here about a month ago, and has been employed in the gravel pit for about two weeks. He was of a retiring nature and made few friends outside of the men with whom he worked dally. He made his home with W. J. Amis. According to residents of Carpentersville, the boy ran away from home near Decatur, Indiana, leaving wealthy parents behind, to see the world. He was a steady and industrious worker at the pit , i * —— 'j 1 .,0. " ——• Fred Meyers, sixteen year old s<jn of C. M. Meyers, of Preble, well known in the city, navmg attended the high school here, has isufflered severely since Friday from wound caused by a sharp pointed board running deep into his leg, just wove the knee. The boys were “in the barnyard and a younger brother was aiming a board. He threw it and it accidentally hit the older boy, wounding him. Since the accident happened the limb has badly swollen, and it is feared that the’young man will oe a cripple. At the time of the accident Fred cut out the splinters and the larger piece of wood with his pocket knife. Constant attention by his physician, however, will prevent any further seriousness, it is hoped. Mr. Mpyers will graduate next year from the highschool and has always been industrious and for that reason has shown much ability in his studies. If it is possible he will start in school as 'usual. :' — p yI. Ml''/'''''''--—- . , Thomas Haeflfng, whq, has ‘conducted an electrical store here for several years, has shipped his stock of goods to Flint, Michigan, where he and Frank Hell of this city Will open a similar establishment. Flint is enjoying a splendid boom, and one that blds fair to continue for some years, as it is due to the rapid growth of the Buick automobile factory, who are enlarging their plant to that extant that, it will be by all odds the largest concern of the kind in the world, employing thousands of men. For months the town has been growing so fast that many people are living in tents and hundreds of new houses are going up. This makes work for the electrician as well as every other line. Mr. Bell went there j several weqks ago and realizing tie opening, communicated with Mr. Haefling with the result that Tom has' decided to join him. They are both good workmen, and will make good. At present there are seventeen former Decatur people in FHnt, all working at good wages and more are preparing to go. That’s what one good factory can do for a town. Mrs. Haefljng and Mrs. Bell wttl join their husbands later, as soon as some arrangements can be made for homes. '<>- —■ At the regular meeting to be held Thursday night the Sam Henry post G. A.

Muncie, 1 having been taken by Marshal Sch- ’ neider, of Lawrenceburg. . .The de- * partment has been interested in the ’ capture of Hall since early in July, 1 when It was reported to Cyrus W; ’ Neal, insurance deputy, that Hall was swindling physicians in a number of 1 cities and towns of the state on an 1 alleged insurance contract, by pos- ’ ing as an agent for the Cleveland Life - insurance company and later ! licensed agent of the Westefb Re- - serve Life Insurance Company, ol ■ Muncie, and of a life insurance company with headquarters in Cleveland, 1 O. The first that was known of ' Hall’s doings by the insurance de- * partment was when reports reached * the office that he was representing to 1 physicians that he had power to ap- ’ point them examining physicians for ’ the Cleveland concern, the apppihtr ment following only when the victims > had taken out policies and had paid their permiums in cash in advance, 1 the premiums ranging from $lO to 5 S7O. The latter sum was reported as collected in Richmond. On receiving the reports, the department wrote to< 1 the Cleveland company asking if it i intended to stand by Hall’s contracts, i and Calling attention to the fact that it was not authorized to do business lln the state. The reply from the * company was that Hall was unknown . to the directors, and that whatever 1 work he was doing was unauthorized. ■ a ——L- —e —r—■r-<. ■, HERE IB YOUR PROSPERITY * I'„ . . ■ i Rock Island Railroad to Spend Nine Million Dollars.
