The shipment of forty-two horses by John Frisinger, from New York, arrived this morning by Wells-Fargo express and were taken in charge by the local representative, who took them to the barns across the river. This shipment comprises some of the best stock ever brought to this city by this enterprising firm and will no doubt secure a ready market. Mr. Frisinger has been in Belgium Tor over two months and has taken his time to the gathering of this bunch of animals. The forty-two horses this morning are conceded to be better than any hitherto imported and Mr. Frisinger was certainly lucky in securing such a bunch. He has not arrived home yet, but it is thought he will be here by Monday of next week at the latest. ——o- • ■• — POLICE COURT NEWS.

The new suits are very snappy in looks, and the team is quite

proud of them. The sweaers are a navy blue with a white banner and "Decatur" written across the front In blue letters. The Portland team is a strong one, but Decatur will put up a good buttle for the victory. ——— O' - - FIREPROOF TEAM WON.

A resolution ■ from the Woman’s Franchise of Indianapolis had been received asking 'that the federation give its sentiment in regard to equal suffrage as no word had been expressed one way or another. The question will no doubt be brought up again next year.—Fort Kenyon Walters gave a delightful party Thursday evening in compliment to his cousin, Miss Ruth Suttles, of Cranesville, Pa., thirty-two guests comprising the assembly.

Nee Huber, was born on the thirteenth of April, 1838, in Handschuchsheim, Baden, Germany. She was brought up n the nurture and admonition of the Lord. After a thorough course of instructions in the principles of our Christian religion, she was confirmed April 13, 1851. She was united in holy wedlock with Friedrich Mutschler. This happy marriage was blessed with four children, all *of whom are still living. The death angel hovered over the home and on the Ist of October, 1881, took her husband from her side. Two of her sons had come over to America and settled here in Root township, Adams county, Ind. When her son, Fred, upon his wedding trip, visited with her, she also decided to ,-ome to America. She, accompanied by the rest of her children, left the fatherland on the 30th of April, 1886, and came to America, where she settled on the farm in Root township with tier son, Fred. Later on, she moved to her home on North Second, street, where she lived until about fa<(r years ago, when she was persuaded to mov>j to the home of her daughter, »Mrs. Sophia Kirsch. M’-.t. Mutschler was a quiet, unassuming woman. She departed this life very suddenly on the evening of the 13th of October, 1912, having attained the goodly age of 74 years and 6 months. There remains to mourn her departure one sister, living in Germany; three sons, one daughter, seven grandchildren, and other relativs and friends. o Fort Wayne, Ind., Oct. 28 —Agt Smith, Fort Wayne’s nineteen-year-old aviator, and Miss Aimee Cour, aged eighteen, elope* from here to Hillsdale, Mich., Saturday afternoon in his aeroplane and were married there Saturday night by Rev. Thomas of the Presbyterian church. The couple left here Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Only Winfield Peters, Smith’s machination, knew anything of the elopement. They were forced to descend at Huntertown, Ind., ten miles north of here, because of a broken valve. They ascended again at 3 o’clock and arrived in Hillsdale M 4:30. Smith landed in a plowed field at Hillsdale and the machine was slightly damaged, but he and his fiancee escaped uninjured. The flight was taken after Miss Cour's parents refused to allow their daughter to marry, the young aviator, because of his dangerous calling. Smith returned to Fort Wayne a week ago after a series of successful flights during the summer in the west and south. He flew over the city last SunI day and made several other flights, j taking his aged and blind father with him on a twenty-minute flight over [ the city. When he was offered a contract to fly to Cuba the first of the year he asked permission of the girl’s parents ta marry her and they refused. The parents of both the girl and the boy have already forgiven them and they will , return home in their aeroplane. Proud that their city was choseru by the bird boy and bride as their wedding place, the citizens of Hillsdale have refused to allow them to depart until they have accorded the couple, who figured in the first aeroplane elopement in the world, a celebration for Tuesday night which will be one of the biggest ones the Michigan city has ever seen. Mr. and Mrs. Smith were confined to their rooms all day Sunday because of the minor injuries they received fn the descent into Che plowed field at Hillsdale.
