Decatur Democrat, Volume 57, Number 9, Decatur, Adams County, 29 February 1912 — Page 3

The last game of the basket ball wll long be remembered by the local high school team, r.nd sports as well, when the Decatur high achool team defeated the fast Portland team in the tautest game ever pulled off on the home floor. Portland, who has made a recorld tor beraelt so for this season came v .n .be lull cou.Alence that the game would be tuclrs without much difficulty. However, the locals, who are as near the front as any other team to be found. If not a little nearer to the top of the ladder, did not let the fast bunch frighten them in the least and from the very beginning of the game showed their opponents that in order to add another feather to their crown they would have to go some. It was nip and tuck throughout the game, neither side being able to secure a point for the first five minutes. Portland started off with the first goal, soon to be followed with one by Peterson for the locals. There was but little assurance of the game to either side until the last minute, when time was called when the score stood 12 to 11 in favor of Decatur. Excellent ball passing wcs done by both sides but the clever trick passing, which failed to be recognized by the visitors, meant victory for the local team. A large crowd was present for the last scheduled game of the season, and at no other time was there more live spirit and interest shown than last evening. One continuous uproar was to be heard from start to finish The first half of the game resulted in favor of Portland by 8 to 6. and the crowd was jubilant that they had gained but the two points in half the battle. In the last half the home boys made a dash for victory, letting but few counters slip by without capturing them, while tho visitors kept closely behind them, although they made but three j points to tbo local's sir. Portland, who liad been out for the state championship, lost some of her nerve with Friday evening's defeat, while the local team, which had lost but two games, strengthened their record and are also in the ring for the "big stick." With Portland's defeat a tie is now on between the two cities, which will have to be pulled off at some future date. At present the locals have a number of games under consideration for the near future and will give any of them a tussle for I the honors. The next game will be with Fort Wayne on next Friday evening at that Place. Worthman and Clayton were the ; officials for the evening and gave complete satisfaction to all. The line-up was as follows: Decatur Portland Beery Forward .. . Wilkinson McConnell .... Forward .... Spencer Vancil Center Ashley Lose Guard Skinner Peterson Guard Hammers Goals: Ashley 3; Skinner 1; Spencer 1; McConnell, 2; Vancil, 2; Peterson, 2. Fowl goals: Spencer, 1. BACK TO NORMAL. Interurban Cars and Rural Carriers Making Better Time. With the clearing away of the big snow drifts the interurban cars are seeing their way through, and are making better time, though the service is not quite normal. The snow diifts that blocked Fort Wayne for two days or so, preventing the cars I running the e.nire way to the station there, have been opened up, and cars new make their way to the Ft. Wayne station. The cars running Thursday evening and Friday were unable to make the trip from Monroe street to | ihe interurban station in this city, and consequently had Monroe street as their terminal. The snow pack was cleared away this morning by workmen, and by noon the way was opened to the station. The first car left here at 7:10 this morning and returned at 11:30. All the rural mall carriers left today on their routes, and as none had returned by noon, It is supposed that the way had opened sufficiently to allow them to make the greater part of 'heir roster. Friday, Warren Hamrick of Route 10 was 'he only one of j the twelve from this city abl > to com-' Piste the trip, all 'ettirning early, reporting that the way was impassable. | The various township assessors will , meet in this city next Friday, March 1. with County Assessor George Gentis, to prepare for beginning their annual assessment, Monday, March 4: While Marst Ist is the day set for the beginning of the work, tills comes on Frfiay this year, and it was thought best to hold the conference on that day and wait until Monday, March 4. for the beginning of active work. Friday the supplies will be given out, and : a conference will be held for the ; agreement as to values to be placed on the various taxable articles. As the ; time limit for the completion, of the j assessors’ work is fixed for May 15th, they will be as busy as bees from March Ist to that time. A meeting will be held every Saturday in this 1

city with County Assessor Gentis, to compare assessments with the view of making the rates us uniform as possible over the county. The township assessors are: Union. William Hark ley; Root, Jay Cline; Preble, Ed Gail meler; Kirkland, William Zimmerman; St. .Mary's, Jesse Steele; Washington, William Blackburn; Blue Creek. George Dellinger; Monroe, Sam Nussbaum; French, John Danner; Hartford, Fred Studler; Wabash. James Love; Jefferson. Frank Span.' ler. Several have deputies to assort them in the work.

Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 24—Plans for attacking the rates recently adopted by the Modern Woodmen of America in session at Chicago, are to be made today by the National Woodmen's assembly in executive session here. That the fight between the "insurgents" and the ' standpatters'' in convention is not over, although a resolution was adopted yesterday in which all delegates who favored the Chicago rates were denied seats, was made last night. John Sullivan of Kansas City, leader c: the “standpatters," announced then »' at he and a number of others would attempt to attend the executive session. Strenuous scenes marked the open i:>g here yestercay afternoon of the session of the National Woodmen assembly. Officers of the head camp of the Modern Woodmen of America were bitterly assailed. Action taken at the head camp convention recently held at Chicago was criticized and 'ohn Sullivan, of Kansas City, chairman of the law committee of the head > ramp, was denied the privilege of the floor, although he declared that he, i held credentials from bis home organi-' zi.tion. About 300 Woodmen tram various ■ states of the middle west are attending the assembly, which was organized to devise plans to protect against tates adopted at the Chicago meeting.! HAVE FUN WITH JACK. It is a very dull day when some of' his friends can’t pull something good on Jack Moynihan, the manager of the j local station of the Indiana Lightin’, conn any. While cleaning off a big drift in front of the gas office some j friends conceived the idea of making , a nice monument for Jack. Accordingly a nice shaft of white snow was loft standing in the middle of the walk and a suitable Inscription was wrought thereon with the point of a stick. The work created considerable amusement and Jack took the joke in his usual good-hearted way and joined in tho ijlaugh. But Jack will even up the joke and turn the laugh before the score is ended. —Bluffton News. , - - Monroe. Ind., Feb. 24—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The lecture given Friday night at the schoolhouse by

Dr. W. T. Culp was one of the most lowerful ever listened to by the large and rppreclatlve audience that greeted this gifted gentleman. His cubjeet “American Knots Split and Unsplit," w.s replete with humor and pathos, «m’ many truths were uttered on this sLoject, giving more points on education and refinement of the present class of people of this country, and claiming, which he undoubtedly proved that every person is a millionaire ■ if not 'u money, in principle and character. He also gave some interesting pointers on vote buying and political trickery. <ake It all in all it was cue of the greatest lectures ever heatd here, and Dr. Culp will always be greeted to a full house when he conies; to Monroe. A general reception was i given the speaker alter the lectute. " "V HAPPY WEDDING SUNDAY. Fuchs-Strahm Nuptials to be Solemnized Tomorrow.

Both of the young people are highly deserving of the! good wishes bestowed upon them. MAIL CARRIER UNFORTUNATE. i Maxwell of Portland Plaintiff in Two. Damage Suits. ; : I George Maxwell, the portland rural I mail carrier, whose horse was killed and his mail wagon completely de ntolished when they were struck by a G. R. & I. railroad train in the aft- , ei noon of January 24th. and which 1 was witnessed by D. B. Erwin and sevI era! others from this city, who were at the depot there waiting for their . home-coming train, has brought suit in the Jay Circuit court for $1,500. This is for slight personal injuries ' sustained also, besides the damage to iiorse and wagon. This is the second suit for personal damages pending in ' the circuit court in which Maxwell is plaintiff. The other suit is one in which judgment is asked in the sum ; oi SIO,OOO from Ross E. Ault and Herbert Sattler, the latter of Lafayette. This suit was brought to recover damages for injuries sustained i,y Maxwell when he was returning to t'.ie city front his mail route on a mo ' torcycle and collided with an auto- ; mobile in charge of the defendants. At j that time Maxwell suffered a broken I leg and thumb, and was otherwise ini jured, and has not yet fully recov- ‘ ered. February 13tb and February 23rd, were unlucky days for John Mackey, a well known man o' tms district. On the first named date an affidavit was filed against him and another party in ; the circuit court, charging them with conspiracy to steal $315 from Edward Marschand. Mackey has been a slip--1 • -ry proposition and succeeded in eluding the officers until last Friday February 23rd, when instead of “skidooing." he fell into the hands of the officials, and is now .lodged in jail, failing to give the SI,OOO bond required. He is convinced that "23" fails as a "skidoo" sign this time. He was captured three miles from Ossian at the home ot relatives. The Ossian ' marshal got. wind of his visit there ; and immediately sent word to Sheriff Durkin, the sheriff going there about 7:30 o'clock Friday night, where he 1 got his man and brought him to jail here. It is said the charge is a similar iotie to that of which Gert Reynolds 'and Will Ward are charged—that of I inducing the victim to join a secret ori der in which the members are enti--1 tied to the purchase of bogus money ■at a premium, which cannot be told . from the real article, but which resuits in the loss of the victim’s good money, and no t eturns therefrom. The charge against Mackey is in two counts. The first charges him with being in a conspiracy to steal the $515 from Edward Marschand, October 2. 1909, and the second count, with the act ual stealing thereof. Mackey seemed much surprised over his arrest as he stated that he never expected to be caught. Attorneys of the city state that this is not the first time he has b®en taken up on a similar charge , One was about ten years ago when he was taken into the mayor's court i on the charge of trying to sell bogn money to Mftnin Keiffer, the case being finally dismissed after a day or i two.

Will Ward has failed to give the SI,OOO bond for his appearance In court at the next term to answer to the charge of conspiracy o steal, and Is still In jail. While the court found in favor of Mrs. Hamrick Friday, in the divorce suit brought against h’er by Warren Hamrick, this does not mean that she was granted a divorce, ns she did not | silo a cross complaint asking one. and ib« matter stands as at the beginning, they being still husband and wife, and I Mr Hamrick, the plaintiff, pays the toots of the case.

A marriage license was Issued to Beitha Stralim, boin May 29, 1893, daughter of Louis Strahm, to wed Albert Fuchs, farmer, born May 7, 1889, ten of William Fuchs. The case of the International Harvester Co. ot America vs. Aaron Itland, demand. $75, was dismissed and >. osts paid. This morning and part of the afternoon in court was given over to the taking of evidence in the partition case of Mary Fanchon and Amos Yoder vs. Alva fl. Rice et al. The suit is a friendly one, the evidence this morn ing being given simply to determine the value of Mrs. Rice’s life estate In the M. F. Rice estate, her portion ' being a one-third Interest. Many wit- ■ nesses were examined. TAKE BAbc. TO REAR. I _ ' Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pearce Are Happy Over Baby Girl’s Arrival. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pearce of First 'street arrived Saturday from an orI phanage, bringing with them a bab: girl. Merle, whom they will receiv , into their home to rear as their own. i The babe is a bright, pretty little orphan girl, two and a half years old. I and will be the pride of the household, i upon whom every loving care will be lavished. Mr. and Mrs. Pearce will in the course of time, as soon as a. rangements can be made, adopt the child as their legal heir. Mr. Pearce lias resided here several years, he be ing superintendent of the Ward Fence factory. James P. Haefling, ex-county clerk, now in the employ of the state ac counting board as field examiner, arrived home this morning from Kentland, Newton county, where he has been engaged for the past twenty-five days, examining the clerks and sheriffs' books. The work there has bee: finished, and Mr. Haefling will on Monday go to Crown Point, Lake county, v.here he will meet his partner, A. E. Johnson, of Indianapolis, and will work on the books of Lake county. Lake county has two court houses a circuit court at Crown Point, and three superior courts at Hammond. Mr. Haefling considers the assignment to this field as a great honor, as it is the second best on the list, being second only to Marion county in mat ter of size and importance. The task there will be a big one, requiring about three or four months. The cit-! ies of Gary, Hammond, Whiting, East ' Chicago and other large ones, con tribute to the work of the courts in that county and add to the bulk that makes it se- ond only to Marion county. Mr. Haefling, who has just closed his first assignment. Beks the wot k the very best, and is quite pleased with his partner, Mr. Johnson, whom he states is a tip-top fellow of the fir* ’ water. SOLD HAY TO GET FOOD. A pitiful case of poverty came to light this afternoon when a small boy, about eleven or twelve years of age, attempted to tell a l ale of hay tn a local dealer. Sus pit "ons were aroused ; and the lad was given into the custody t of the marshal, who took him into juvenile court. It developed here that the boy, who comes from a povertystricken family, had gotten the hoy and attempted to sell it to get something to eat. The family is poor i in the extreme and lack food and ’ clothing to keep them alive during: > this bitter weather. He was given 1 over into the care of Probation Officer A. P. Beatty. - 1 THE MEN'S MEETING. 1 I The men's meeting of the Methodist t Brotherhood will be held at the church 1 Sunday afternoon, commencing at. 3 .' o’clock, at which time Hon. Edward , 1 W.

One of the best rep . esentations of big democratic politicians ever assembled at Muncie lot some time vas present, including L. G. Elllnghatn, secretary of state, and others. The wishes of Congressman J. A. M Adair were carried out by the committee naming Winchester and March 26th as the place and time for the con vention. Mr. Adair made known hie desire that the session be held near the time of the state democratic con vention so that he might take in both rnrenions with one trip from Wash ington. bYorn all present indications thr convention at Winchester will be rather a tame affair so far as opposing candidates are concerned. In fact the meeting wiil be more like a ratification meeting tha na convention. Con gressman Adair will be renominated beyond a doubt, as there will be nc opposition to his candidacy. There will be 130 votes cast in the convention. This is one vote to every 200 votes cast for Governor Marshall in the 190 S election. Madison will h"v“ 43 votes. Delaware, 31, Jay 17.
