A GREAT HUNTER Is Lewis Bunn, of Ossian, Who is Visiting Here With Sister MRS. C. J. WEAVERi Just Returned From Alaba- • ma—Has Killed 103 Deer In His Life Lewis Bunn, of Ossian, is here for a several days’ stay with his sister, | Mrs. C. J. Weaver. He is a famous ; hunter and returned only last Friday from Alabama where he spent the winter. He has visited all the famous hunting districts of the country and during his career as a hunter, has killed 103 deer. The small game of all kinds, credited to him, is too num-1 erous to mention. While in Alabama I I this winter, he killed 500 squirrels I and much more small game. While | small game was plentiful there he rc-1 ports that he killed not one deer this > season, which is a very unusual oc-1 currance. The high waters, it is i thought drove the deer from the river i district to the hills, where they fortunately for the hunted beasts, escaped the hunters. Mr. Bunn formerly owned several sections of land in northern Michigan where the great, happy, hunting grounds lie. ■ - - ■ - -

(Continued trom Pane 1) matter of the campaign was given as impartially as possible, and all such simply news accounts and announcements were given free of charge as that which the subscribers had a right to know. Matter which declare certain principles, lies with the factions,and is not general enough to be classed as news, hence must come in the department of paid advertising. The faction that buys the space has the 1 right to have printed there what he wishes. In the same issues of the papers of the city were published as paid ads the different sides to the two factions —each the opposite of the other. Why had one faction any more reason than the other to be angry with the newspaper for printing that which the other had bought. If there is any reason for offense, both “sides” have equal reason for such. This matter might be looked upon as a debate —each side setting forth its 'arguments. The newspaper advertise- , ments may be likened to the building in which they are held. There is as much reason for the conflicting parties to say they will never go to that building again when it upholds such theories as- that given by its opponent debaters, as to say that they will not read the paper containing their opponents' ads. The newspaper is the medium for expression, not the judge. If the newspaper were the judge, there would be no need to hold an election. It could just peremptorially decide the . matter by taking "sides.” TRACTION EMPLOYEES MEET. ■ ■ ■ Adopt a New Name —C. J. Lutz Gave a Good Address. i An organization of forty employees , of the interurban company met last ' night at the Bowers Realty company’s i office, where they had a splendid Jmeetfhg. At thi* time a name “The .' Safety League of the Fort Wayne & Springfield Railway Company” was adopted, and other business attended to. The organization meets on the first Tuesday of each month. D. H. Hunslcker is president and Albert Scheumann, secretary. The society has for its purpose the Improvement of the quality of the service, urging for a better performance, of duty, the proI motion of safety, and the instilling of a feeling of co-operation among the employees. Attorney C. J. Lutz was | present last evening also, and gave a most powerful address, along the line of quality service, appeal for safety and good service. A very delightful time was spent.
