FOUGHT IT OUT Three Men Mix Up and Go to Jail.— Tried Today. | Three young men named Woods, Detro and Smith engaged in a real old fashioned fist fight last evening and caused considerable excitement for a few moments. Woods and Detro arc blacksmiths and j claimed that Smith had stolen a , hammer from them. Detro caught Smith near Cress & Hughes marble I shop and proceeded to clean him I which he certainly did from the I looks of Smith’s face. Atfer a few ' comments the men began a running fight, the police got after them and the chase wound up at the Erie railway where the men were capi tured. They were taken to jail and the result of their troubles are told in the police news. Woods denies having struck Smith and will stand trial Monday. Smith was intoxicated.

To David Steele of Kirkland township is due the credit of securing so many gravel roads in this county and especially in {his township. For years he has written articles for publication, talked to

END IS NEAR Murderer Terrell Is SUrvlnj to Death. If there was ever any one tired of answering one question it is Sheriff Johnson and Deputy Freme Carlisle and they have good reason to be. Not a day has passed since the 12th of last July that they have not been'asked “How is Terrell?” For a long time since Terrel became insane everyone who met them, even strangers, asked them but they still have to answer the question on an average of ten honrs a day. Through all the trial and sinee they have aswerod the

question thousands of times but - they always return a courteous answer and the answer is generally “He is about the same, but sinking slowly.” A News reporter saw Terrell at the jail yesterday afternoon. The prisoner was lying in his cell in a comatose condition and the noise of going to the cell did not arouse him. He spends most all of of his time lying down. At the beginning of his dementia he walked day and night but now he seldom walks. He eats very little and just what can be forced into his mouth. He has not spoken an word since the insanity inquest and is more like an aniaml than a

man. Under his present condition he may not live a week, it is im- I possible to tell. Ho is slowy starving to death. The technicalities of the la \v denies him being taken to a hospital or even to the penitentiary and he will probably die in his little narrow dark coll.—Bluffton News Lost—A smtrtl black rat terrier with yellow paws.

Large Engines Two large new engines passed through here Thursday on the Clover Leaf enroute to St. Louis where they will be put in use. The engines are of a large and modern type and will Jhave a capacity of pulling a very heavy train of vesti bule and baggage coaches. The Clover Leaf company have gone to the expense of buying ten of the monsters to be used on their road this summer for the main purpose of hauling their fast trains with through passengers to the St. Louis World's Fair, which commences in May and with the Clover Leaf having a direct line into the World’s

Fair city their passenger traffic 4 will be unusually heavy. Hence I the need of buying new engines for , their special service. The clover ( Leaf officials have come to the con elusion that they will not be out done by any other road running into St. Louis this summer and it is their purpose and intent to have the finest passenger service that is available and everything modern will be used to make up the conveniences on these trains. A special tme card will be issued by the road directing how these trains shall run and giving them the , right of way over every other passenger on the road, thus insuring to the traveling public fast time I from any point along their line 1 into St. Louis.
