Extended the Time. “Owing to the change being made in the gas line from the old to the . new Held all the consumers may expect a light shortage of gas for at least two weeks, which time it j will take to make the change and to connect up the new wells to the | line now being laid. As soon as the new line is the wells 1 connected we expect to give better ' sei vice, by fur than that given dur- ! ing the past two years. The com- . ■ puny now has meters on hands it is 1 urgently requested that all persons I; who expect to use gas this winter > will leave their order for a meter : at once so that the company may , be able to make orders in advance , to the manufacturers for what i meters we may need for other con- > sumers. We are paying a bonus j to the manufacturers in order to get all meters to supply our patrons at once and it is very hard to get an order, for the demand on the manu- ' facturers is so great that their cap--1 acity is almost exhausted. All the ’ gas companies located in the gas 1 belt have been driven to the meter system in order to supply their customers. We being some 42 miles 1 from the gas field] are driven to force the gas such a long distance, > requiring the best class of pumping ; i machinery and from 800 to 1000 horse power steam to drive the great i air pressure to supply our customers with gas that it entails an enormous expense. J. S. Bowers. > Owing to the scarcity of meters and the slowness of the manufacturers to supply our orders we have extended the time for consumers to supply themselves with meters until November Ist. After that date gas will be sold only to those ( people who have the meters. This matter refers to consumers in Decatur, Monroe, Berne and all others 1 along our line. J. S.

HIGH DffONEHT s Governors of Indiana And Kentucky Will Testify In Gold Brick Cases. Bond Forfeiture in Knox County Has Brought About An Unusual Complication. Roberts and Jerome Were Taken to Kentucky, and Thereby Hangs a Tale. Sullivan. Ind.. Oct. 28.—The deposi tions of Governor Durbin of Indiana and Governor Beckham of Kentucky will be taken in the "gold brick" bond forfeiture case, on change of venue from Knox county, and a postponement of the trial has been had until the depositions are ready for presentation. Two years ago William H. DeWolf of Knox county was swindled by the "gold brick” method and William Roberts and Charles Jerome were arrested and gave cash bond in $5,000. Before their release, however, a requisition came from the governor of Kentucky. and the defendants gave renewed bond in SI,OOO each, this time John F. Miller and Max Marx Gnmberts of Evansville becoming surety. The ae cused then left and failed to return, and the $5,000 bond was defaulted. Shortly after the Kentucky bond was given the requisition was canceled, but not until the bond had been declared forfeited, and now the sureties are con testing payment on the ground that the

requisition having been canceled, then was no longer necessity cf holding th( : defendants. Alleged Rioter Refused vontinuance.
