BUMGARDNER GETS TERM IN STATE REFORMATORY.

Newton County Lad Sent Up From 5 to 22 Years for Assault on Egnatz Friedl and Wife. Glenn Bumgardner, who was sent here from Newton county for keeping in our jail last fall and who remained until Wednesday of this week, when he was taken to Kentland for trial, received an indeterminate sentence of. from 5 to 22 years for the assault and attempted robbery of Egnatz Friedl and wife, not far from Conrad, on Oct, 22nd. According to the evidence, old man -Egnatz had some S2OO with which he was going to pay off a mortgage and he was stopping all night in a house near the home of his son-in-law, Walter Darby. Darby knew that he had the money and it was not supposed tc be known by any other person. Some time during the evening, Friedl and his wife heard persons talking outside the house and soon two men appeared at the window and made a demand for his money. His wife recognized the parties as being Arthur Darby, a brother of Walter Darby, and Bumgardner. They thought that it was only a joke and tried to treat it so, but finally the men told them that they would get the money by force. While they were trying to get into the house, Friedl hid the S2OO and when the men accosted him, he refused to tell where he had hid it. He had $5 and his watch, which the men took and when he refused to tell where the other money was, they tortured both be and his wife and beat them up very badly. After they had gone away Friedl got up and went in search oi aid and wandered around in the night In a cold rain. Mrs. Freidl furnished *he evidence that caused Bumgardner’s arrest, but Arthur Darby made bis escape. The day after the affair, Walter Darby brought to his father-in-law the $5 that had been stolen, and there was some circumstantial evidence that he was implicated with the others in the effort to rob the old -Iran.

Bumgardner was taken through Rensselaer this Saturday morning on his way to Jefferson to begin his sentence. He told several conflicting stories, one being that he was an orphan, but later he stated that his

father was living over in Illinois. He had lived in Newton county for about 6 years and seemed to be a sort of an outcast. He traveled with a bad set, and there are said to be a number oi that class in the neighborhood of Conrad. It is thought at one time during the trial that Prosecutor Longwell would be able to get him "to turn state’s evidence and tell the true story of the attempted robbery, but after Bumgardner consulted his lawyer, he refused to talk further. He is 22 years of age.

Rensselaer’s Dry-Land Fleet or Courtship Simplified.

[Contributed by a High School Girl.] Although Rensselaer is a strictly inland town, it certainly can boast of whole fleets of courtships. (Anyone not understanding what courtship is, may consult the dictionary, or better ask one of the parties that may be mentioned herein.) It is carried on in Rensselaer, principally in and about the high school building. Stalling toward the school at about 8 o’clock, you ma> see numerous couples, ranging from the ages of thirteen to eighteej, slow y meandering and mincing their way in the direction of the school house, and stopping frequently, probably at some exceedingly interesting point in their very confidential conversation. As you come upon them suddenly, you may hear them break off abruptly in the, middle of a sentence, while their faces look very telltale and conscious, and after you have passed on, they may be heard to resume their talk in the same confidential manner. This is probably while the first bell is ringing; after it s stops, the beforenamed couples quicken their pace until they reach the building, where they go in very slowly to the most secluded corners of the cloak rooms, and the girl removes her hat and coat in the slowest manner possible, and the boy hangs up his cap with great deliberation. Then they stand by the window and continue their colloquy, with one eye skinned foi| the teacher, while they regard each other affectionately with the other. They remain here until the last bell commences to ring then with very slow steps and many stops, they start toward the door. Once at the door, they make a final halt and with a few whispered words and smiles and nods understood by themselves, they pass in to their seats to spend the period in writing sugarcoated notes to each other, and to resume their interrupted courtship at the next intermission.

HANGING GROVE.

Mrs. C. W. Bussell went to Rensselaer Tuesday W. C. Fulk and R. S. Drake receive ! a car of tile this week. Chas. and Ernest Mellender are tile ditching for R. M. Jordan. Jas. Brandenburg is helping -C. W. Bussell pull some hedge for Ed Randdle. M. L. Ford has recovered from the measles sufficiently to do his own work again. Mrs. Nate Lee, of Rensselaer, visited friends in Hanging Grove a few days this week. Mrs. Foulk-came home Monday evening, from Salem, where she had been visiting her sister. Jas. Stewart fell from a wagon a few days ago, and sustained some fractured ribs that are causing him considerable pain. He does not know the extent of his injuries, but believes he has cracked a rib or two. The census enumerators will begin their duties in a few days. They will have a host of questions to ask each farmer and the word that they are coming should be passed around to those that do not read the papers, so every person will be prepared. There will be some instances where the person will not understand what the cen sus is for.

Mr. Rusk considers that he was very fortunate in not losing more property than he did in the fire Monday morning. All of his horses, harness, wagons, carriages, two incubators, hay, corn and oats were in the barn when it was struck by lightning, but Mr. Rusk and his two song succeeded in getting all the horses, carriage and some harness out before the building collapsed. The oldest boy was quite severely shocked and was sick for several hours afterwards. Had the barn been struck a few hours sooner, they would no doubt have lost all of their horses, etc.

Church of God Services.

Preaching next Sunday morning at the usual hour of service, if health permits. A full attendance of members and friends of the church is desired, hoping that then, and thereby, some definite action will be started to secure preaching regularly by some one able to render the service. The present arrangement can not longer be depended upon for regular service, from lack of strength and health, which have already, pretty much entirely prevented service during the winter.
