JUDGE CITES SHERIFF FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT.

Sheriff Shlrer, of Jasper County, Required to Make Appearance Next Monday and File Answer. A motion by Prosecutor Longwell was filed with Judge Hanley Tuesday requiring Sheriff Louis P. Shirer to appear next Monday, April 18th, and show cause why he did not conduct Clinton L. Bader to the penitentiary Immediately after commitment was issued, instead of taking him to Winamac and allowing him partial freedom pending the effort of Bader’s friends to secure a parole for him. It is understood that Sheriff Shirer had been informed that he had five days within which to carry out the order of the court and that he thought he was acting within his bounds in allowing Bader some time at Winamac. The case is in contempt of the order of the court and will come up for hearing next Monday.

Bruce Porter Sends $5 for The Milroy Monument Fund.

R. B. Porter, former recorder of Jasper county and for many years a resident of this city and county, and now residing on a South Dakota farm, not far from Mt. Vernon, has sent to the writer $5 to be applied to the Milroy Soldiers’ Monument fund. Mr. Porter writes as follows: “I am sending $5 to the monument fund, $1 each for Mary, Josie, Bruce, Jr., my .wife and myself. I hope /or the greatest success for the fund and only wish that we were able* to make our contribution $25. The family are all well and well satisfied. Seeding will be finished this coming week. Wheat is up nicely and the weather has been pimply fine since the first of March. Success to the republican nominees in old Jasper county and also in old Indiana. Give our best wishes to all our old friends and enemies.” The Porter family made a great sacrifice for the country in'the early sixties and Mr. Porter lost three brothers, if we are not mistaken, either by being killed or dying of sickness while in the army. Their names will be' placed on the monument,, a permanent tribute to their martyrdom. The many friends of the Porter family will be pleased to hear from them and the Republican hopes for other letters from Mr. Porter.

COLLEGEVILLE.

J. Knapp, of Wheaton, 111., was a college visitor Tuesday. J. J. Kelley, of Chicago, made a short business trip to Collegeville, and also spent a few pleasant hours with old friends. Rev. P. A. Kanney delivered an address to the K. of C. at Hammond last Sunday evening. The sure swingers of the rackets were seen on the campus lately putting the tennis court into shape. The spring sports will soon all be in full swing. A very delightful private entertainment was given by the C. L.S. last Sunday. The members are now busily engaged in practicing the play that will be rendered at the church dedication celebration. The outdoor gymnasium in the north grove has received several new additions lately. That breaks down the last excuse not to exercise out in the open air these beautiful days. The second game between the varsity and' the religious was reeled off Sunday afternoon. In this deal the score table was turned, the varsity winning four to one by the straight consistent playing. McGurren, the first man up, slashed out his third strike for a wicked two base bingle, stole third, and was sacrificed home on a long fly to center. The next inning added another tally, which seemed to take the kink out of their opponents’ effectiveness. Two more runs were annexed in the sixth, mainly because Green was unable to pitch himself out of the holes into which he had fallen. The Religious’ lone score in the eighth was the result of a single by Miller, to right center, and a brace of errors by McGurren’s mates. Same teams again next Sunday.
