ONCE SPECTACULAR RESIDENT OF RENSSELAER IS DEAD.

Percy Taylor, Well Known Turfman Died March 8d at Fox River Farm, Near Elgin, Illinois. Many of our older people will remember Percy Taylor, a typical Engllsh gentleman, who during the early eighties, resided on the stock farm, and who never appeared on the streets that he was not followed by a number, often as high as seven bob-tailed dogs. He also drove a bob-tailed bay mare. He had an income while here of S3OO a month, which came from his father’s estate in England. He moved from Rensselaer to Chicago and for a number of years was the manager of the steeplechase races at the Harlem and Hawthorne race tracks. It is understood that his English stipend was withdrawn and that in his later years he had a difficult time making both ends meet. For some time he ran a truck farm near Chicago. Later he moved to the farm where he died.

CATARRHAL ASTHMA AND HAY FEVER.

Ten of thousands of sufferers fron hay fever and catarrhal asthma find great comfort and quick relief by breathing Hyomel. Of course where asthma is not caused by a catarrhal condition, but by nervous contraction of the bronchial tubes, Hyomel is not recommended. But In cases of asthma where there is a discharge of mucous, breathing Hyomel gives most wonderful relief by soothing the Irritated and highly inflamed membrane. Mr. W. A. White, R. F. D. No. 1, Evansport, writes: “1 have been bothered with asthma for over five years, but could not get any relief until I tried Hyomel. I have spent lots of money on remedies for asthma and If I could not get another bottle, I would not be without Hyomel for |SO. I recommend IL” A complete Hyomel outfit, including hard rubber pocket inhaler, costs >I.OO with instructions sos use In hay fever and asthma. Extra bottles of Hyomei cost 50 cents at druggists everywhere and at B. F. Fendig’s.

LAWLER WINS IN SUIT AGAINST RAILROAD COMPANY.

Jury Brings in Verdict for $3,150 for Damages by Fire Caused By C. & E. I. Railroad. The jury that heard the Lawler suit against the C. & E. I. railroad and made a trip over the ground themselves in order to estimate the extent of the damage, remained out only about an hour Saturday night and brought in a verdict for $3,130 for Lawler. The case was bitterly fought and the arguments of the lawyers were keen and at many times, eloquent. The defendant will have until the second day of the April term to make a motion for a new trial. Falling to get a new trial, they will appeal the case. ' • *

G. W. INFIELD IS IN BAD; STORY OF A BIG DEAL.

Railroad Promoter Defendant in Big Case Brought in The United States Circuit Court George W. Infield, promoter of the Lafayette to Chicago electric railroad, which is expected to pass through Rensselaer, has been defendant along with Owen L. Carr, of Rushville, in, a suit brought by Dorvil E. Brooks, of Decatur, 111., in the federal circuit court, in Indianapolis. Judgment in the sum of $15,000 and the return of certain property is asked. . A long story of modern trading methods precedes the suit, and they are here condensed as much as possible. Brooks had property equities in Chicago, Bloomington and Philo, 111... which he valued at $95,000. Several Chicago parties negotiated with Mr. Brooks to trade him the bonds to the value of $95,000 in the Rushville, Ind., Gas, Heat and Water Co. They got Brooks to Chicago and according to Brooks’ complaint, informed him that the Rushville company was a great concern, was in operation and had a monthly income of $2,000 and was paying big dividends on the stock. He said he had a relative in Rushville, a lawyer, named Owen Carr, to whom he .would write about the trade. Strangely, on going into the street in Chicago, they met Mr. Carr, who substantiated the statement about the value of the property and advised Brooks that it was a good thing and that he had better get in right away. Brooks decided not to take his relative’s word altogether for a deal involving $95,000 worth of property, and as he was not in the habit of closing deals of that size on such short notice, he informed the men with whom he had been talking that he would think it over. They gave him an option until Monday, saying that they had other deals on for the same property and that they could not possibly hold it open longer than that time. That was Sunday. It was planned that Brooks should go to Rushville on Sunday. He was to be accompanied by a real estate man at Decatur who was in on the deal, and also by one or two of the Chicago parties. Brooks decided on his way back to Decatur that he would drop the matter. He could think clearer by himself and he decided that the Chicago parties and his Indiana relatives might be trying to “hand him a bunch.” But he did not inform them that he had changed his mind—On Sunday morning, Sept. 4th, Jason Williams, of Chicago, and George W. Infield, of Rensselaer, and Mr. Brooks’ Decatur agent met at the depot in Decatur to start for Rushville, but Brooks did not put in an appearance. Here is what the Decatur, 111., Herald says of the deal: Likely Mr. Infield had appeared in the sessions that had been held in Chicago the previous day. One of these men was at the station in Decatur to meet Mr. Burks and Mr. Brooks and btd them good luck on their trip to Rushville. That is, the man may -1- -US * have been there for that purpose. Mr Burks was at the station, but no Mr. Brooks. The trip was off. < Williams and Infield got a room at the St. Nichlas hotel for the day. It was Sunday, Sept. 5, 1909. They sent out and got Mr. Brooks and Insisted on having him at the hotel ws their guest. Mr. Infield did a good share of the talking that day. He was good as a talker; in fact had been an exhorter in his earlier days. He had talent and had grown rich. They insisted that Mr. Brooks should be their guest. They talked the matter over fox hours, Mr. Infield using all his persuasive powers. They landed Dorvil E. Brooks in the "good thing” that day, for before night fell they had closed the trade with him. They took his property in Chicago, Bloomington anc Philo and gave him $95,000 in bonds of the Rushville Gas, Heat and Water Company. Things began to .happen in a hurry and Dorvil E. Brooks* suspicions were stirred. He deeded all the property to Thomas Higham, the alleged owner of the valuable bonds. The very day that Higham got the Brooks properties he transferred all of them. The Philo property was transferred by Higham to Wm. G. Wright, an em-

BADER WAS PAROLED BY GOVERNOR MARSHALL.

Pending a Review of Case by Supreme Court, Man Convicted of Bridge * Fraud Will be Free. Governor Thos. R. Marshall has extended clemency to Clinton L. Bader, general manager of the Winamac Bridge Co., and last Saturday sent to Sheriff Louis P. Shirer, of this county, authority to release Bader, just as the sheriff was getting ready to conduct his charge to the penitentiary. As before stated, Sheriff Shirer took Bader to Winamac Thursday morning, in order that he might arrange his business affairs. He set diligently about this and had expected to have everything arranged by Saturday afternoon. Shortly before he had ekpected to be taken away, the word came from povernor Marshall paroling him until the case which was tried here, could be reviewed by the supreme court. Mr. Bader and his family and the people of Winamac in general were delighted with the respite. There was general rejoicing in Winamac where Bader’s friends cling to the belief that he was not intentionally guilty, notwithstanding the disclosures made by Judge Hanley’s investigating committee of his other bridges. Sunday afternoon Sheriff Shirer, Mr. Bader and his twin daughters, came to Rensselaer. Mr. Shirer was returning home and Mr. Bader came to confer with Attorney Williams, who had been diligent in securing the release of his client. It is said that Bader’s release was brought about by appeal made to the governor by influential friends of Bader and acquaintances of the governor at Winamac and Wabash. The release is, of course, only temporary, but now that it has been secured, it is probable that no special effort will be .made to get the case reviewed and it is probable that it will mean Bader’s permanent freedom. Mr. Bader was seen by the Republi-

can man at the home of his attorney Sunday afternoon. He is still laboring under the strain of his trial and conviction and says that no one knows the extent of his suffering. He was greatly pleased at his release and says he will continue actively in the bridge business, and will continue to fight for contracts in Jasper county just the same as he always has and that he will not let the persecution of a rival company force him from the field. Whether or not Bader is pardoned permanently, the effect of his persecution will be wholesome in many ways. It will mean that every form of public contract will hereafter be looked over with a great amount of care. It will mean that when a bridge is reported completed the county commissioners or some qualified person working under their direction will investigate the structure thoroughly before it is accepted and paid for and it will mean that the county will in the future get what it orders. It will mean greater activity in the public’s interest by all officials and will awake other counties to an investigation of conditions existing at home.
