Bayes is out and from a mechanical point of view is a beauty. Its correctness is taken to task by the 1 Berne Witness, but even at that. t we expect it is about as correct ns ■ directories uusally arc. The real need of such a production in a town I the size of Berne is perhaps not very I essential, yet it s a stroke of progressivenes to have—errors or no j errors. In speaking about critics, i did you really know now easy’ it is Ito criticise some one else, and us ually how far short, that person comes to the murk when under the i same fire. The Beine Directory is a fair sample of such critical (lodging. The book us printed is very creditable and Mr. Bayes is to I lie congratulated upon its very’ excellent appearance.

WILL SETTLE Panhandle to Pay for Christmas Wreck Nave Adjusted Claims of Marion People.—C. J. Lutz and Family Were in Smashup. It has been learned that the Panhandle and Ulover Leaf railway companies have come to an understanding concerning the liability for the wreck that occurred at the intersection of their tracks in Kokomo on Chritsmas morning, last, in which five Marion people were in jured. lhe Panhandle company' is held wholly responsible and will adjust the claims of the seven persons who were injured and who have laid in claims for damages. llt appears that the conclusion has been reached that the accident was due to the fact that the Panhandle switch crew was using a defect! -e locomotive, one that, leaked steam so badly that the right of way was obscured from the engineer’s view most, of the time and that he ran onto the crossing of the two tracks fully supposing that the Clover Leaf train had cleared.—Marion Leader. Mr and. Mrs. C. J. Lutz and daughtei of this city were in this wreck and Mrs. Lutz has not yet recovered from injuries received at that time. JAMES M.
