A band of gypsey mauraders operated near Brook Monday and after plying their fortune telling and begging avocations, a theft of $29.50 was reported to officers. The gypsies had gone to a place near George Ade’s Hazelden farm and were camped for the night when Sheriff Myers, accompanied by several volunteer deputies from Brook, arrived at Mr. Ade’s and were reinforced by several Purdue students who were Mr. Ade’s guests and were ripe for a sally of that'kind. Five wofnen were placed under arrest and taken to Brook in Mr. Ade’c automobile. The guilty woman was identified and after she had confessed and disgorged the $29.50 that was stolen, she was fined $lO and costs, amounting; to $54.

The maurading bands of gypsies are a menace to any community and if this bunch should come to Rensselaer and undertake to beg or tell fortunes they should be hastened right on through town and warned riot to return this way. They will warn other bands and it will soon be understood that gypsies are not desirable iri tils part of Indiana.

SOLDIER DEAD HONORED BY LARGE GATHERING.

Impressive Service Sunday and Good Parade and Fine Oration Monday Are features.

The observation of Memorial Day was never more Impressively performed in Rensselaer than It wat Monday and few larger crowds ever gathered here to pay their annual tributes of respect to the country • heros, living and dead, than assembled Monday and participated in the oceassion.

On Sunday the soldiers had attended services at the M. E. church in a body and listened to an able, enthusiastic and patriotic sermon delivered by the pastor, Rev. C. L. Harper. Many unhesitatingly pronounce I ii one of the very best sermons ever , preached in Rensselaer to a gathering of soldiers and Rev. Harper pleased the large audience that had gathered to hear him. With this auspicious beginning everything seemed to work well Monday. The business men decorated their places of business* and many residences were also decorated. A large crowd gathered before noon and by the time the parade marched at 2 o’clock the crowd extended all along Washington street. The boys’ band led the procession, the militia company followed, then crime the .Sunday school children, the Odd Fellows Knights of Pythias and- the Mddern Woodmen of America;, arid then came the old soldiers, something like 68 in line and they made a flrie' appearance arid stepped out cheerfully to the beat of the drum, some slightly faltering but .all surprisingly alert. The large numbers seemed to inspire each veteran with increased vigor. Just inside the cemetery the militia company was baited and facing to the center in open ranks saluted the old soldiers by coming to present arms as they passed through. At the cemetery the Ctflcei of the Day, Milbrin Griffin, called the assemblage to order and after a few opening remarks by George H. Healey, who spoke on behalf of the commander of the Post, music was furnished by a male quartette composed of C. E. Prior. W. R. Lee, J. D. Allman and James Matheson. The singing was very much appreciated. The address was made by Attorney George A. Williams, and many unhesitatingly pronounced it the best memorial address they have ever heard. He was interrupted at several stages by applause.

The boys’ band contributed more music and following the address the large audience sang “America” and following the benediction marched back to the court houhe yard and disbanded.

The Ladles of the G. A. R., true to their custom of several years, spread a sumptuous dinner in the G. A. 11.

room in the basement of the court house, for the soldiers, and had so much that the band boys and a large number of others were also fed.

From beginning end the program was a success, the soldiers were pleased and everything went off gloriously to the honor of the country’s noble defenders, both living and dead.

St. Joe’s ball team suffered defeat at Brook Monday afternoon, when Whiting, the star young twirler, let the college lads down without a hit or a run, scoring one of the cleanest shut-outs ever played in this part of Indiana. McGurren, who has always been a puzzle to the Brook batters, also pitched gilt-edged ball, and allowed only two hits, but they came along with errors and Brook was able to cross the home pan twice in safety. It was a great game and was witnessed by a large crowd. The game was played at Brook. Thursday afternoon of this week the St. Joe boys will play St. Ignatius, of Chicago, on the St. Joe campus. St. Ignatius defeated the local college earlier in the season and is an old rival that St. Joe has always found hard to down. It is the team that Hanks played with last year. ‘ ,

Miss Piercri, hdweVer, had discussed her plans of attending Earlham college and of teaching School and none had thought that the marriage was so close at hand.

Last Saturday morning, in company with Misses Alice Coen and Lois McCarthy, two other members of this year’s graduating class, Miss Pierce set o'ut for Richmond, Ind., to enter the summer term at Earlham. Mr, Michael was at the station and purchased a ticket for Lafayette. It was presumed by the other girls that he was going to accompany her that far only. At Lafayette;, however, Miss Pierce left the train with him and her baggage, which had been checked to Richmond, went on its journey. Mr. Michael and Miss Pierce took the next train for Chicago, passing through Rensselaer on the 10:55 train. They at once procured a marriage license and at 3:30 o’clock Saturday afternoon were married at the home of a minister. They returned to Rensselaer Sunday and went to the home of the groom’s brother, Gaylord Michael and wife, southeast of town. There they confided their marriage to Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord Michael, and notified the bride’s mother and sisters, ftjjsses Carrie and Gladys, by telephone. They also admitted that the plans of the elopement had been made before hand and that the Earlham college plans were merely a ruse to assure that their plans would not be detected hy the relatives of either.

The relatives were consequently greatly surprised as are also the many friends of both bride and groom.

Mr. and Mrs .Michael will at once’ begin housekeeping on one of the Michael farms, five miles southeast of town and near the farm residence of his brother. — —- — L

The ffrfes amounted to $109.80. Information as to where Yeagley had obtained his birds implicated Frank Mosier, who was fined $36.60 on conviction.
