The high school team was i at Liberty Center, the girls' team playad at Bluffton, while the St. Joseph's high team payed the St. Mary's te.im of Fort Wayne here and ' the eighth grade team of the city school contested with the second team of St. Joseph's :» home. The two ! home games were both interesting, . the St. Joseph's team winning from the Fort Wayne boys by a score of :>l to 10. The visitors came well prepared, they wishing to give the locals a good drubbing, and even strengthened themselves by taking on several other players. The game was rather one-sided, as the points indicate, and the home boys showed their superio ity throughout the game. The line-up 1 for Decatur was: R. F. Gass, right forward; Smith, left forward; Brent erakrnp, center; Costello and Ehinge., guards; Crawford, sub. Fort Wayne Forward. Dink; forward, Mettlers: ' center, Eckler; guard, Mettler; guard, Alter: Guard, sub. The locals have a number of scheduled games in the near future and will make them all go some, too, for the honors. The game between the eighth grade of the publi I schools and the second team of Sl ; Joseph's was also a good game, :i: wnich the eighth gmde left with the honors of the game, they winning b> a scote of 21 to 10. Eugene Bremerkamp refereed ■ game and Ed Christen acted as um- ■ pire. and gave excellent satisfaction to the larc.3 crowd present. I The high school team, whicli |/laye;l at Liberty Center, met defeat, they b< Ing handicapped in various way>. which is responsible for their losin ■ >-1 the game. The trip was made byway of Fort Wayne over the interprlnu: << : going with the girls' team, which pla ed at Bluffton. The boys report that they were given a number of raw '. deals, some “dirty work” being shown during the gamp, which 'did not give them much' encouragement for win ning. The room where the game was pulled off was a ground floor of a lie ery barn, which, in the first place, v as so cold that they could hardly play, and along with being unused to > floor was tho result of their losing the victory. The first half of the game v on' o to Liberty ( enter by a score of 12 to S. The last half the score was run up somewhat, not le wing the locals . r... ch of a chance to -4«ke the game ’ S The next game will be with Eluffton > j next Friday evening here, and a fast . and classy game is looked for. The e : line-up for the locals consisted o' s Beery. Vail. McConnell. Tyndall, Va, 5 cil, Lose and Peterson. Professor Worthman, Dwight Lacbot, Le'and Franke, Greg gNeptune and ‘‘Boomer’ Falk also accotnupanied the team Girls at Bluffton.

Fred Rohrer, editor of the Berne Wltnes’ - , ana Known state wide as an untl-s*. .oou man, who has been tiie vlctlu of many assaults and plots, resulting from his war waged against the liquor traffic, am! especially in the driving away of , *'o saloons in Berne, wasi tiie victim of another assault Friday morning, Si:..iuel Kuntz of Berne being the aggressor,. The cause of this assault was the editorial published in the Berne Witness Friday, on "Does Mr. Beer Reply?" regarding the letter published in the Democrat last week by Trustee Beer, in answer to charges of alleged misapproprlaticn of funds. In ■ Friday's editorial the following is said of Mr. Kuntz: "When Samuel Kuntz delivered the three car loads of coal to tiie township last summer for $420.45, it was said here in town that be also set up a keg of beer at the Beer home and that Mr. Beer invited a few of his neighbors, those of his kind, to an all day frolic on Sunday. If this Is true, we wonder if the bill for soar didn't also include the beer? Mr. Kuntz is known to have been dealing in, beer bid not in coal, while there are many regular coal dealers in the township of whom Mr. Beer could have bought his supply of fuel for the school houses." Fi‘.day's Witness was no sooner on ; ..treat, it seems, than Mr. Kuntz, ’: J to angai - , rushed into the private office oi’ Mr. Rohrer at the Witi: ss ofllqg. about 8:30 o’clock, Friday mcining, and proceeded to use his fist cn Mr. Rohrer. The editor wore eye-glasses and these were broken, the pieces cutting Mr. Rohrer's nose. One tooth was knocked out. ami the heavy ring v.orn on Mr. Kuntz’ hand left a cutting nark on Mr. Rohrer's lip. Mr. Koontz was hammering away on the ediior when one of i the Witness' employees rushed to the . assistance of Mr. Rohrer, striking Mr. Kuntz over the head with a larg spool of wire. Mr. Kuntz finally tool: - to his heels, and left the offi< e. only > to be arrested later on a charge of assault and battery preferred by Deputy i Prosecuting Attorney C. Lautzenheiser. He appeared in the court of Jus I tice Liddy and pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined $1 and costs. > amounting in all to $9.65.
