A received at 3:00 o’clock thl» afternoon Uy Mrs. Dr. Smith from the Lutheran hospital stated that Or sen Smith bed just passed away. I Fort Wayne, Ind.. .Tan 20 (Special to Daily Democrat) —At 2:05 this afternoon. Green Smith, from Decatur, was very low and Chances for recovery were greatly against him. Ever since the amputation Thursday noon his condition was serious, lie showing but little Improvement at any time. At this time there Is little hope for his recovery. He received but little rest during the night, which greatly told on his already weakened condition, •■nd he seemed to be just alite. Word received by ids local physicians from the Lutheran hospital. Fort Wayne, this morning, was to the effect that Orson Smith, who suffered the severe accident at the heading mill Thursday when his leg was torn from his body, and who was taken at once to the hospital for treatment, was very weak from the shock, and that there was very little nope fc.‘ nls recovery. The run to Fort Wayne Thursday morning with the injureu man In the automobile »»» made in. Laie more than a half hour, but on arrival there his condition wi-.s round to be so weak that the amputation of the leg was not attempted until 1 o'clock. The ■ right leg had been torn loose from the' knee socket and about three inches of the bone above the knee protruded below the torn and mangled flesh. The flesh was cut back and about eight inches of the bone removed, the flesh then being folded under to form a pad for the healing ffnd covering oi the bone. A sister, Mrs. Charles Gilbert, resides in this city, and the message to the physician here asked that his relatives come to the hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert, with a friend, Mrs. Adam Deam, and daughter. Hertha, left this morning. Mrs. Gilbert stated that the meejage to their father, Or-I sen Smith, at Walterville, Mich., had probably not reached him Thursday, I as he had not jet arrived, but was expected today. in., in I »| II — Suffering from a bad wound on the head received in a fall this morning,' rendering aim unconscious for a• while, stupifled with orink, and suffering from a total lapse of memory as to where he spent Thuisday night, John O’Donnell, a prominent farmer residing five miles east of Geneva, is confined in the Adams county jail on a charge of public intoxication, and is unable to account for several hundred | dollars from the $3,500 received in the sale of his forty-acre farm made last week. It is feared that he may have been robbed during a drunken stupor, while in Fort Wayne Thursday night, as be is unable to state where he spent the night. He appeared at ' the Martin restaurant Thursday night, 1 it is said, and engaged a room for the night, but never returned to occupy it. Between then and this morning he can give no account of himself. Mr. O'Donnell has been in the city several days, having in his possion large sums of money, and it is! feared that he may have been the vic-, tim of foul play. This morning as Marshal Peterson was in the Jacob Martin restaurant, O Donnell came in. He "seemed to be very stupid aa though he had been drinking very heavily, as is his habit. The marshal knowing of his having had money in his possession, and wishing to warn him, as to the possibilities of his being held up, told him that if he had much money on his person he had best leave it with the restaurant proprietor. O’Donnell thereupon showed a certificate of deposit made Tuesday with the Bank of Berne for $1,048, and but twenty-two dollars in cash which he had on his person. He did not leave it there, hokvever, and soon went out. About 2:30 o’clock, while crossing over Monroe street in front of the Henry Knapp hardware store, he slipped on the ice and fell, striking his head on the edge of the curb. A big, round hole was cut over the right eye, puncturing one of the blood vessels and a gash was also cut in the ba<;k of the head. It is not known whether the skull was fractured. The severing of the artery made the wound bleed profusely, and the man, lying unconscious, was a pitiable sight when picked up by J. S. Bowers, Henry Knapp, John Brown and Ed Miller, and taken Into the Knapp store, where a doctor was hastily called. The man was unconscious about fifteen minutes, but soon revived, the wounds being nicely dressed The marshal again arrived on the scene, and directed him to return to the restaurant. O’Donnell started out, but made for the I. Kalver shop, west, and was again started back, but proceeded east on Monroe street in the direction of the ' river bridge. He fell four or five■ times on the way. Marshal Peterson, who had been keeping a watch on him, appeared here and arrested him, taking him to Jail, where he now is. O’Donnel stated that he did not re-, member a thing as to where he spent i

Thursday night and complained that he had been relieved of a large sum of money. It is said that he received $3,500 for his farm which he sold last week. The records at the recorder's office show that he paid off a $1,600 mortgage there; and those at the clerk's office that Tuesday ho paid $101,50 on a judgment against his son. Leßoy O’Donnell; and this with the Bank of Berne certificate of deposit for $1,048, and the $22 In cash on his person, gives an accounting of $2,771 —all but $729 of the $35,000 received last week. It Is known, that In hts visit here the first of the week he paid off several other bills, which may account for much of the remain- i der, but there is also a probability that | he lost the rest by foul play. It is said that the sale of the farm [ was made jiendlng the removal of himself and family to Muncie for their future home. With the place selected for its holding and all arrangements nearly complete, for the holding of the Farmers' Institute for the south half of the county, on February Eth and 6th, at . Berne, more definite arrangements . for the best ever held will now be looked after by the president, C. S. j Mumma, and his co-workers. On Mon- ' day he conferred with a committee of business men there for the securing I of a building, which was left in the hands of D. C. Sprunger and C. A. Neuenschwander. They, with others, sought for the Mennonite church, which privilege was granted them, and following that the getting out of , the following program was attended to.

Adjournment According to a dispatch from Elkhart to the tnuianapolts News, the Mennonite circles of the state are stirred by the SIO,OOO damage suit Hied in the superior court by George H. Lambert against David Berkholder of Nappanee, Jacob Bixler of Wakarusa, and David Yoder of Olive township, all bishops in the Mennonite church, through which Lambert was expelled December Ist. Mr. Lambert is the father of Rose Lambert Meselman of Victoria, Tex., who, before her marriage was a missionary at Hadjin. Asiatic Turkey, at the time of the outbreak of the Kurds against the Armenians in April, 1909, at which time Miss lambert and the four other American and European missionaries with her was the subject of international alarm and negotiations. A sister, Nort Lambert, is now a missionary in the same field, having returned to that territory in March, 1910, after a short furlough in America. It will be remembered that Miss Rose Lambert was in this vicinity a year or so ago and gave Interesting lectures on her experience as a missionary, during the revival services conducted at the Beery church west of this city. Mr. Lambert, twelve or fifteen years ago was sent to India to distribute ' family relief supplies bought by mon--1 ey raised by the Mennonite mission ■ board of America. The complaint outlines fifteen charges which were officially sustain- ' ed by a vote of the congregation and , which Lambert avers are false and li-1 belong. They are: Unsatisfactory 1 confession of lawsuit regarding an aui

tomoblle; repeated marrying of outsider*; indulging In lawsuit regarding sewer; breaking a contract with one Holler; being disinterested in home life; engaging iu improper conduct with opixislte sex; unbecoming and filthy conversation; lack of charity toward needy; deliberate lying; refusal to pay church dues; using tobacco; visiting questionable houses; unbecoming conduct; teaching immoral and unscriptural doctrines; not communing at home, but with other congregations; dishonesty in business dealings. I— -—■ » - ll— — «—- Thursday afternoon Adrian Baker ( had a narrow escape from death in | the Icy waters of the St. Mary’s rlvler about a mile from the southern . limits of the city. He with Creed Vaughn and Peter Bolinger, two schoolmates, determined to go skat-I ing and at first settled upon Krick’s pond but later changed their minds and went to the river. Going down the river quite a distance they attempted to get on the ice and in doing so found that it was not thick enough to bear their weight. Baker, who was in the lead, broke through the ice and his two young companions were horrified to see him struggle in the icy waters. Vaughn and Bolinger came to the rescue and after consid- . erable time and trouble succeeded in pulling Baker from the water. They > rushed to town where Baker was taken care of. The boys are only about twelve to fourteen years old and were well scared by the experience. Safe to say they will not venture again on the river but will give fair warning to other young lads who are not large enough to handle themselves in such conditions. Many accidents have happened in just that way when no larger person was with boys and the youngsters should determine of some shallow pond where danger is not present. The river all along the place where this is reported to have happened runs from four to six feet deep and unless boys are accompanied by older persons they should keep off the ice in such localities. C. B. L. OF I. INVITATION. Decatur Council to Attend Ft. Wayne Initiation and Banquet. The local council of C. B. L of !. has received an Invitation from the Fort Wayne Catholic Benevolent Legion to attend the initiation and banquet given under the direction of the allied councils next Sunday, January 28th, at the Minuet hall. Fort Wayne. A large class of Fort Wayne candidates will be given the degree. The first will be conferred at 2 p. m.. the second at 3 p. m. The banquet will be given at 6 o’clock in the evening and there will be a program of music, recitations, speeches and song, in which visiting brothers and sisters from various councils of the state will take part. Many from the Decatur council will attend. NOT METROPOLITAN NEWS. Decatur papers announce that the county officials there have been notified that the county assessor is not entitled to a per diem, or day’s extra pay for time he serves as a member of the county board of tax review. It is stated that this is a part of his duty, prescribed by law. for which he is paid in his regular salary. This may be news at Decatur, but Jay county officers have known it for a long time and no such allowance has ever been claimed or made here.—Portland Com-mercial-Review. At the meeting of the Knights of the Knights of Pythias Thursday evening a committee was appointed to arrange in detail for the district convention to be neld here February 1. The foiiowins were named: John Tyndall, chairman; w. H. i.enhart, H. S. Michaud, Fred Mills. R. D. Myers and Fred Patterson. The committee will meet at an early date, possibly Sunday, and appoint subcommittees to outline in detail the entertainment. There will be a committee on reception, on entertainment, on program, music, speeches, etc., and everything that can be done to entertain the many hundred visitors in a royally good manner, will be done. An interesting session was held last evening, also, the second degree being conferred upon Henry Jamieson and the third degree upon Prof. Rufus East of Monroe. Two strange young men .from Fort Wayne, apparenty about twenty-seven and twenty-two years old, who were engaged in trying to sell a stamp book in the city Thursday, and whose personal appearance in general and their dress did not proclaim them as being agents of Uncle Sam, were detained an hour and a half or so in the may- ’ or’s office Thursday on suspicion, but no damaging evidence being found I against them, they were not arrested, ’ and were soon let go on their way rejoicing.

I* said they came In Thursday afternoon over the G. R. & 1. railroad, and then started out to dispose of a stamp book worth about 49 cents. They tried to dispose of It at the Yoder & Brushwlller grocery and also at the Wilder & Simmers meat market in the west part of the city, but were unsuccessful, It seems. A tip was given the deputy sheriff, J. D. Merlca, upon the suspicion that they may have been implicated in some robbery, and he took them Into custody, taking them to the mayor's office, where an examination was conducted. No books were found upon them, nor was their any evidence to warrant their arrest. The boys stated that they found themselves In the city and being short of funds, started out to sell the stamp book, which they bad in their possession. I W. B. Piatt of Huntington, district postoffice inspector, was here at the local office on his regular Inspection tour at the time, and he was summoned to the scene of the examination, Postmaster W. A. Lower accompanying him here. o GO TO INDIANAPOLIS. Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Gottemoller and family will leave in the morning for i Indianapolis, where they will from : now on make their future home. For ' the past three years Mr. Gottemoller has been associated as a partner in J the hardware firm of Schub, Gotte- ' moller & Company, and a week or so ago released his interest and secu;'ed a position as traveling salesman ' with a large wholesale hardware firm traveling out of Indianapolis. While 1 here their acquaintance became a large one, and they will be greatly missed by their many friends. The annua' meeting of the Christian churches of the seventh district will be held in Huntington, March 20, 21, and 22, at the Central Christian church. The meeting will begin on the evening of March 20th and Claude E. Hill, national secretary of the Young People's Movement, pastor o” the Christian church at Valparaiso, will occupy the pulpit. A strong sermon will be delivered at eash sesion and Bible sudy will also be a feature. Different periods will be devoted to each department of the church. The speaker to give the closing address of the meeting has not . been selected as yet, but Rev. Elmer Ward Cole, president and secretary of the Seventh District association, ex- . pects to obtain the strongest talker ■ possible. Rev. Cole says he expects a large attendan-e at the meeting and prep- ■ aiations will soon be made to enter- . j tain the visitors in a highly pleasing manne-. ; I The program for the meeting will ' consist of many interesting features i ; and much business of importance will ; be transacted at the session.—HuntI ington Herald. Rev J. M. Dawson of the local church is on the program for a sermon on the evening of the 22nd. Although he had been ailing the past seventen months or more with lung trouble and asthma, death came j most unexpectedly at 8:15 this morning to William Walters, a well known > young man of this city. Mr. Walters 1 , had been in poor health for many ’ j months, but had at times been able ’ to walk about, though the greater part of the past year he had been confined to the house. At no time was he bed- ' fast, and this morning had been sit--1 ting up, as usual. At about 8:15 he I stated that he desired no breakfast, | and had been prevailed upon by Mrs. Walters to lie down for a while. He lay down on the bed and Mrs. Walters left the room for just a little while to get something and when (She returned a few moments afterward, he had breathed his last. For the past week or so, the asthma had been particularly bad, but he seemed no worse 1 in particular this morning than at other times, and his death at th±s time was most unexpected. 1 j The deceased was born on a farm east of the city, thirty-one years ago last April 9th. He w?,i the son of John and Louisa Walters and the first eleven or twelve years of his life were spent in this county and city. The family then went to Fairmount and Mr. Walters had resided at various cities in his young manhood, his occupation being that of train dispatcher. He was married December 2, 1900, to Miss May White, at LaFountaine, and their married life had been a particularly happy one. Prior to coming here about a year ago they resided at Garrett, where Mr. Walters was train dispatcher for the B. & O. railroad. Mr. Walters leaces, besides his bereaved wife, one daughter. Corrine. His father died several years ago, but his mother is still living, residing at the Daniel Shackley home. He also leaves three brothers —Hiram, at Nelson, at Anderson, and Frank, at Marion. Mr. Walters was a young man of many noble qualities, and the cutting off of a life just in its prime, is a thing ggdly deplored. I' ® <

Mr. Walters was a social member of the local Yeomen order. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Methodist church. - ■ O Miss Annette Moses’ report, as 11- 1 brarian, for the past month, shows an ■ unusually busy period enjoyed by the library. Os the total number of 1,839 books on the shelves, 1,786 were In i 1 circulation during the month. Os this number 978 were taken out by adults, 675 by juveniles and class'c books numbered 133. One day of the past I month had the honor of having the j ■ highest circulation of any one day | since the opening of the library, 124 books having been taken out in that day. The lowest daily circulation of the month was forty, and the average 70. A new order has bc«n placed for books, and will be a welcome addition i to the large number now accredited to i the library. Among the new ones lately received Is "Theodore Roosevelt. , Citizen," by Jacob Riis, that is being ■ highly appreciated. The reference i work and the reading tables were nev- , er patronized so heavily as at present and the library seems to have entered ■ i upon a new era. |; o . BIG SALE IS CLOSING.

William P. Biggs, along with many others yesterday wished to test his 1 strength in the lifting of one end of i the light posts which have been pur- ; chased by the various business men and are lying in front of several of the business houses. Thursday several young men got it into their heads that but very few could show their strength superior to the weight of one of the posts. Mr. Biggs was one who 1 believed he could lift the post, and in g doing so wrenched his back very se-; j verly and today was confined to his i bed, and his injuries are painful. I o THE HORSESALE ?
