' Early yesterday morning their four-year-old son Jimmy fell off the Frank Lux dairy x wagon and sustained a scalp wounff that took several stitches to close. The boy had climbed on the wagon and had been lifted to the ground by the dairyman, then when the driver was waiting on another customer the boy climbed back on the wagon. When the team was started he was thrown to the ground and a large gash cut in his head. While the mother was tucking the little boy in bed, Helen, aged 5, slipped out the door and on the street, walked I in her sleep. Mrs. Guy Hensley, living on Ninth street, noticed the little girl in her night clothes and seeing that she was walking directly toward the river ran I to her. The little child was awakened i and began crying that she was lost l and that she did not know where to ' go. Mrs. Hensley took her home and after talking with her .trying to got her name, called the police and asked their assistance in locating the parents. The girl was so badly frighten ed that she could not tell her name, and Mrs. Hensley remembering that she had seen a child about that size at the Haefiing home in the morning, went there and asked Mrs. Haefiing ft her little daughter was at home. The mother of the little sleep walker stated that she was, and that she had just placed her in bed. Going to the bed room they found that the little girl was missing. “Mrs. Haefiing grew hysterical, but was soon quieted by Mrs. Hensley, who had the child at her home. The little girl was returned to her parents much frightened, but none the worse otherwise for her rather trying experience. Mr. Haefiing and family moved here Monday from Decatur and intend ma’...ng tneir home here while the husband and father is examining the books of the county auditor. He is a state field examiner c, ■ JOKE ON ITALIAN.

The services will be under the direction of the pastor, Rev. Hiley Baker, and a special program will be given in ad dition to the preaching services. Quite an advancement has been made in the progress of building the new church and the cornerstone laying services which were planned to be held last Sunday and were postponed until next Sunday are already prepared for, as the work has been accomplished up to this point for the past several days. The congregation is planning to move into the new building in a few months and will continue the services in the old building until that time. The new church will be a frame, brick and cement structure and will be one of the fine churches in that part of the country. Rev. Baker has established his residence at Linn Grove and will act as minister in charge of the church I there and at Murray during the coming year. He moved ‘here from Kimmel, Ind. Oscar Hoffman of this city is architect for the new church. The annual mission festival will be ■ beld tomorrow at the German Reformi ed church. Rev. J. Otto Vitz of Louis- ■ ville, Ky, will preach at all the servi ices ana Rev. Calvin Schneider of • Magley will also be present. In the case of the State on the part > of Lawrence Opliger vs. Daniel Baumf gartner on a charge of surety of the I peace, and which occupied the at--1 tention of 'Squire Stone all of Friday -a decision was reached about 4:30 in i the afternoon in which the 'squire 1 bound Baumgartner over to circuit court under a temporary bond of SSOO. . Baumgartner fought the case to the last ditch, and will continue to do so. Baumgartner still has a case pending against him for trespass, which was to have been called to trial in the same court at 10 o'clock Friday, but owing to the first case occupying ail I day the case was necessarily pos 1 .- poned. Immediately after the deciss sion was rendered in the surety case the attorney for Baumgartner filed an B affidavit for a change of venue on the , trespass charge, and it will have to be sent out of the township. Prior to the case heard Friday Baumgartner paid a fine of $5 and costs on a charge of assault and battery, the outcome of the trouble at Linn Grove. During the progress of the case At- { torney Dore Erwin for the defense ? had several warm arguments with the court concerning his rulings, alleging 1 that the rulings were contrary to the I usual practice. These arguments interspersed with the evidence in the t case constantly kept the seating room in the court at a premium. i ® A bad wreck occurred this morning at about 6:30 o’clock on the Erie railroad just across the river bridge cn he unlucky curve, the scene of several other bad smash-ups, breaking a caboose and several cars beyond repair and damaging a perfectly new j engine considerably. An extra had secured the block at . the State Line target and ran into Det catur uncoupling from their train on 5 the curve, well within the yard lim 1 its. and taking their engine and sev- > eral cars into town to do some switchI ing. Another extra was allowed to > have this block by the operator at the ■ State Line, and as the engineer of the I second train came around the curve, i having his train under control, he found the other train on the track. In his attempt to stop his train, which was exceedingly heavy, he was not successful and the engine ran into the caboose of the first extra, smashing it to kindMng wood. The car ahead of the caboose was damaged i and allowed a large quantity of hard ■ coal to be wasted. The tender of i the engine was thrown from the track and damaged badly. The car back of the tender was demolished and its load of hard coal was wasted. The engine itself was not injured very much. In the affair no one was hurt on either train, the crew of the first having been in the yards and the engine crew of the latter protected themselves as the crash came. The wrecking crane and crew from Huntington was called and arrived about 9 o’clock and immediately set to work to clear up the debris. Traffic was resumed about noon. o Fifty years ago today, September 14, 1862, will always be remembered by those living of the 89th Indiana. The regiment was mustered into the service, August 28, 1862, and left for Louisville, Ky„ September Ist, arriving at Munnsville, Ky„ to guard the bridge across Green river.

I i On the morning of the fourteenth of September, as the day began to dawn, the sergeant major came to the undersigned with orders to not sound the drummer's call, saying the enemy was approaching Immediately Companies A and II were ordered out on the skirmish line and the videt posts were tired on by the enemy. Next the enemy's artillery began shelling us. As the sun came out from behind the hill a column of Confederate soldiers could be seen marching with bayonets glistening, our skirmish line falling back, but fighting every inch of ground, though greatly outnumbered. The regiment being in a small fort made of earth, the men stood firm. Presently a yell, then a charge from the enemy, which was i epulsed. Again they came In double column and met another repulse. They withdrew and reformed with three columns deep, and came with-a yell, some trying to scale the breast works. The fierce fighting of our men and a gun from the battety, the other fort having an elevated range on the trench outside, slaughtered the enemy. They, with their shattered division withdrew and tried to take the other fort, but met the same defeat. At 9 o'clock a. m a flag of truce appear? . and the remainder of the day the enemy was caring for the wounded and burning their dead. Tuesday was a great day. but on Wednesday, General Bragg's whole army had arrived and by night had so completely surrounded, at three the nexf morning the forts surrendered on conditions, being paroled the same day and »• to Indianapolis, and from there to ouri homes for twenty-seven days. Very respectfully, ROBERT BLACKBURN. — o | ORVAL CLUM PAROLED.
