Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Tyron arrived here yesterday from Oklahoma, where they have been for the past two or three months. They thought the Oklahoma weather fine, although the old residents there considered it a very cold winter. Mr. Tyron is the pwner of the farm east of Pleasant Ridge from’ which Conrad Hildebrand just moved, and'which is now occupied by Fred Linback. It is probable that Mr. and Mrs. Tyron will remain here for several weeks and possibly buy a cottage and spend the summer here.

L. A. Hopkins, of Markle, Ind., who went to Mitchell, S. Dak., upon receiving the word that hij son-in-law, Tim Nichols was dead, returned from Mitchell Tuesday, stopping off here Tuesday night and going on to Markle Wednesday morning, where Mrs. Hopkins was ill when he left on his hurried trip. Cancer of the rectum, which is thought to hrvo been caused by a fall Mr. Nichols sustained four years ago while working at the elevator, was the cause of his death. He was buried at Mitehell last Saturday. The family lived on a rented farm and they had planned to move to another farm. Mrs. Hopkins will now move to the farm and with her two oldest sons, 15 and 18 years old, conduct the farm. He leaves five children, besides the widow.

GREAT SUCCESS WAS MONTHLY HORSE SALE.

Big Crowd in Town and About Sixty Head of Horses" Changed Hands With Big Prices Prevailing.

Nothing has ever taken place in Rensselaer that gave, better general satisfaction than Wednesday’s* horse sale, which was the second of what it is intended to make regular monthly sale days. To begin with there was a big crowd of representative farmers from a radius of thirty miles from Rensselaer, and a lot of buyers from the leading markets. There were many horses brought in for sale and a lot of others that the owners did not care whether they sold or z not.

There were a great many speculators among the sellers, who realized that there is now and will be for the next month a big local demand for horses and they did not care whether they sold or not. They priced their animals plenty high and it looked for a time as though there would not be much business done, but along in the afternoon the sellers and buyers got together and about 60 head were sold. Sometimes, however. It does not pay to wait. At least in one instance a farmer was offered SIBO for a good mAre, 10 years old. He did not care to sell at that price, he thought, and he put his mare back in the barn, but later he sold her for $175 to another buyer, The man who made the SIBO offer had said that if he put her back in the stable, he would not renew the offer and he did not.

Two of the most active buyers were Jessie Briggs, of Flora, and Ora Freeman, of Monticello. They bought 12 head, paying $2,640 for them, or an average of $220 per head. These were taken overland to Monticello and it is expected that some or them will be sold in that place. The others will be shipped to other places. Claud May, of Remington, bought a mare of Chas. Pullins for $300; W. V. Porter bought a fine mare from Elmer Wesner, of Wheatfield, for $250; one gelding sold for $235. B. F. Moore, Frank Welsh, Bert King and others sold good animals at good prices. The livery stables and hitch barns were filled, the restaurants and barbershops were kept on the jump, and every other business had a day equal or better than the ordinary Saturday. Many .of the visitors to Rensselaer were from some distance away and not regular traders here, but most of them made purchases while they were here and every business man interviewed by the Republican expressed himself as much pleased with the big crowd that was attracted by the sale. The next sale will be the first Wednesday in April, which is April 6th. Every merchant should help advertise the sale. It is to be held the first Wednesday In every month and can be made a great thing for the town and for the farmers in the surrounding country.

Also at* the opening, we will show you the finest and best line of readymade suits, top coats and cravenettes that you-ever had a chance to see, all at moderate prices. C. EARL DUVALL. If you come in I will be glad to show you through our line whether you wish to buy or not. THE MODEL CLOTHIERS, S. Leopold, Mgr.

CONVICTED MAN MAY GET A NEW TRIAL.

Technicality May Give Clinton L. Bader Another Chance to Keep Ont of The Penitentiary.

A technicality may keep Clinton L. Bader, general manager of the Winamac Bridge Co., from going to the penitentiary as the result of his recent trial . and conviction in Jasper county.

Bader appeared in court Wednesday when his attorneys, Williams, of Rensselaer, and Glazebrook, of Knox, argued for a rehearing of his case. The greatest stress was laid on the fact that the affidavit which Prosecutor Longwell had presented after the grand jury indictment had been quashed, charged Charles L. Bader with presenting a false and fraudulent claim to the county, while the man who stands convicted is Clinton L. Bader. There is no doubt that the man convicted is the man wanted, but the law provides a means for protecting the interests of the state that the attorneys for the defendant consider was not taken, and they are basing their hope for a new hearing for their client on this claim. The other objections of the defendant’s attorneys

were speedily ruled- against by the court, who took the matter of the confusion of names under advisement until he can satisfy himself of his correct position.

After Attorneys Williams and Glazebrook had spoken for almost two hours, citing various authorities for their claim, Prosecutor Longwell began his argument to the court began his argument to the court against a rehearing. Mr. Longwell has been ill, the work of the past week has told on him, and he was scarcely able to be out of his house, but he had come here overland from Brook and was suffering from a bad cold. He was hoarse when he started his argument but he soon warmed up and was making a most eloquent appeal in behalf of the state when he broke down in the middle of a sentence and sank into his chair. He asked the forbear-

ance of the court for a minute and left the court room, going to the judge’s private office. Several members of the local bar rushed to his side, a doctor who was present gave him attention and in a few minutes he had revived. It was an attack of heart failure and evidently the excitement was too much for him in his weakened condition. Judge Hanley had heard all the argument that was necessary. He informed Bader’s lawyers that he would overrule any objections they had made unless it would be the point above cited, which he took under advisement. The result is a matter of speculation with the local attorneys. Most of them seem to think that a new trial is absolutely essential. The ruling will be made within a day or two. In the meantime Bader has returned to his home in Winamac. If the new trial is granted, it will doubtless be venued to another county.

COLLEGEVILLE.

Mrs. W. Sullivan, Hamilton, Ohio, was a Sunday visitor. Mr. and Mrs. F. Wolfe and J. Dugan, of Indianapolis, were college guests on Saturday. Mr. P. Brown and daughter, of Detroit, Mich., called on Frank Brown, who has been ill, last Sunday. LaGrippe has of-late taken a great liking to the collegians, and as a consequence Dwenger Hall has had more inmates during the week than usual. A rousing basket ball game was playedbetweentheNormalsandCommercials last Friday. It was, a tussle royal and the coming teachers had the better of the future Morgans by two baskets. After losing to Monticello on their own floor, the Varsity was due to wire a game away from the gymnasium, and proceeded to do so at the expense of their neighbors, Co. M, by the low score of 15 to 8. This leaves the local quintette's lost and won figures balanced with no further games on their schedule.

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week, March 3d, 4th and sth, I will bold my tailor-made suit, topcoat and cravenette opening. Easter will soon be here, so be sure and come in and have your measure taken. Special attention on tailor-mades those three days C. EARL DUVALL.
