The jury on the famous Yarling murder trial at Tipton, had not returned a verdict yet Friday evening, and at that it seemed likely that the jury would be eut over Sunday.

It is said that White county will build a stone road from the county line south of Albert Nitzschke’s house, to connect with the Monon stone road south of Lee and that petition has been granted. This will be a glorious good move, and then Hanging Grove should get busy and build the stretch of road between Brook Snedeker’s and the end of the proposed road in White county, thus affording a complete pike road between Rensselaer and Indianapolis. There is plenty of available rock near the road, making a very short haui either way. Charley Blue is the latest to purchase a car. He did not get a Buick, nor a Cadillac, nor an Overland or Holladay. Didn’t even buy a Brush, but his is some horseless carriage and not nearly so apt to be ditched as a lot of the well known makes. He never expects to be arrested for trying car is a lunch car, specially made for to exceed the speed limit either. The its owner by Jack Warner, and being the cleverest little kitchen we have ever seen. It is on four small wheels and can be pulled from place to place by its owner. Cars of this kind are very common in eastern cities and many of the owners have made good fortunes with them. Charley had his out for the first time Saturday night and again Sunday at the ball park. He sold out slick and . clean at the ball ■ ■ { - park. It is a nice .little business car and Charley will be found constantly in the future where there is the best chance for business.
