A.’s ran bases until their tongues hung out. The Whirlwinds were glad to quit at the endof the eighth inning. The K. O. K. A. infield worked like a machine, but the outfield work was indifferent, owing to the rough condition of the field, Our famous first baseman, Cope Hanley, turned his ankle .and that weakened the team.

Mrs. S. W. Williams Narrowly Escapes Serious Injury Beneath Feet of Infuriated Animal. Mrs. W. S. Williams, who lives with her husband on the old Scott Grant farm, west of town, was severely bruised and might have been killed in a runaway accident that occurred Friday evening at about 5 o’clock. She was driving a horse to a buggy and some part of the harness broke while near the Benjamin Harris residence or. Front street. The horse at once started to run south and ran into the fence in frdnt of Delos Thompson’s residence. Mrs. Williams was thown out and fell under the feet of the horse, which was kicking and striking in its efforts to free itself from the buggy. Mr. Thompson was in his yard and hastened toward the horse, expecting that the woman was killed. Before he reached the animal it had broken loose and started back north on Front street and was caught near the Harris residence where it first became frightened. Mrs. Williams had miraculously escaped serious injury, although severely bruised about the legs, arms and body. No bones were broken and she will probably suffer no permanent injuries. The buggy was wrecked. Mr. Thompson took the woman to her home in his automobile.

General Public Will Not Be Admitted at the Ade Picnic.

The Republican editors are in receipt of invitations to the picnic to be held at George Ade’s home near Brook, Saturday, June 25th, by the Indiana Society of Chicago. This society is composed of Hoosiers who have attained success or made for themselves a name in some line of endeavor. The membership includes many who are prominent in the business affairs of Chicago, literary lights, artists and jurists. Among the invited guests will be" Governor Marshall, Senator Beveridge, former Vice-Presi-dent Fairbanks, James Whitcomb Riley, Booth Tarkington, Meredith Nicholson, Charles Major, and others whose names are associated with the greatness of Indiana. The program of entertainment will embrace all forms of out door sports, and a big picnic dinner will be served on the lawn. Admission to the grounds will be by card, and to correct the impression that the picnic is open to the public, George Ade hands out the following statement for publication: “Several persons have inquired regarding the Indiana Society picnic at Hazelden Farm on June 25th. I regret to announce that I cannot issue any general Invitation to the public. The grounds have been turned over to the Indiana Society of Chicago for that day, and it is not my picnic at all. The society has issued tickets of admission and will admit only those regularly invited and holding tickets. • “I make this announcement so there will be no apprehension. “The Indiana Society is a comparatively small private organization of Hoosiers now living in Chicago. If we open the gates to the general public on the day of the picnic, the Society might get lost in the crowd.”

Judge Orders Construction Work In Lake and Porter Counties.

WOMAN’S LIFE ENDANGERED WHEN HORSE RAN AWAY.

SERGEANT GANGLOFF WAS HIGH MAN IN ALBION SHOOT.

Company M’s Top Sergeant Carried Off the Honors in Battalion TryOut on Strange Range. John B. Gangloff, first sergeant of the ,local militia company and for several years a good rifle shot, was easily the best of the twenty-seven contestants at the battalion try-out at Albion which concluded Friday morning, and not only outshot all the others at almost every range but established a score high enough to cause his company members to feel certain that he will be able to qualify as a member of the team that will represent Indiana at the annual national match to be held at Camp Perry, Ohio. Sergeant Jerry B. Garland, Lieutenant True D. Woodworth and Corporal Harrison Timmons also were successful in making scores that place them on the battilion team of fifteen. Garland was sth man, Woodworth 12th and Timmons 14th. X The competition at Albion was expected to be very spirited and Company M had hardly expected to have the high man, as the Albion company had two men on the state team last year and is the home of Captain Black, regarded as the best military riflemdn in the state. Black was not eligible to this competition, as he is no longer a member of the battalion, but the state inspqctor and instructor of rifle practice. He had taken a great interest in coaching the Albion company and it was expected that Albion would get about all the team. Lieutenant Valorious Clear was the third best in the state competition last year and Lieutenant Earl Smith and Sergeant Baldwin were well to the front. Gangloff went right after the .best shots in championship form and closed with a total of 211 points, while the second men, Lieutenants Smith and Clear, each had 197, Sergeant Baldwin had 195 and Sergeant Garland,/ of Rensselaer, had 189. The other qualifying scores ran down as low as 138, Corporal Timmons just getting in at the figure. Gangloff made high score at 200 yards rapid fire; high score at the skirmish run; second high at 200 slow fire, and second high at 1,000 yards. He shot consistently at all ranges. Lieutenant Clear was 6 points ahead at the conclusion of the 200, 600 and 1,000 yard ranges, but Gangloff shot the splendid score of 40 in the rapid firing at 200 yards and Clear made but 30. This gave the local, militiaman a lead of 4 points and in the skirmish run Gangloff improved his lead ten points, making 60 to Clear’s 50. Lieutenant Smith, of Columbia City, and Sergeant Baldwin, of Albion, had in the meantime, been climbing up on Clear’s score and Smith tied him, while Baldwin was only 2 points behind and Sergeant Garland was only 8 points behind. As the competition was held at “battle sight” instead of “peep” elevation, which the local riflemen had practiced with, they worked at a considerable disadvantage. The shoot was a very fine one, the camp site fine, and the range, although on very rolling ground, was a good one. There is a prpbability that next year’s battalion match will be held on the range of the local company, at Parr. The regimental shoot, which will be attended by Sergeants Gangloff and Garland, Lieutenant- Woodworth and Corporal Timmons, will probably be held week after next at Culver. The state match will follow at Fort Benjamin Harrison and the national match will take place in August at Camp Perry, Ohio Rensselaer hopes to land two or three men on the state team.

Wrens Will Play Wadena At Riverside Sunday Afternoon.

The Wrens will have a worthy foe in the Wadena team that is slated to play here tomorrow afternoon. Wadena is a little town with big ball players and it has had the reputation for years for turning out some of the best players in the business. The team has already defeated Brook, Goodland, Fowler and other teams Sponhauer, the crack little college pitcher, will be on the rubber for the Wrens. Game called at 2:30. Correct size and style calling cards at the Republican.

New Fish and Game Commissioner Assumes Duties.

George W. Miles, the newly appointed state fish and game commissioner, named last week by Gov. Marshall, took charge of the office this week, succeeding Z. T. Sweeney, of Columbus. Mr. Miles will maintain the main office of the department at the state house, instead of at Columbus, where it was located during the administration of Commissioner Sweeney, and will appoint two deputies, one for northern Indiana and one for southern Indiana to look after the business in their respective districts. “Everything will run along as It is now,” said Commissioner Miles, “until I get acquainted with the office. No immediate changes are contemplated It will be some little time before anything along that line will be done. E. E. Earle, the chief deputy, whom I have kryo.wn for years, and with whom I have worked in the preservation of the fish and game of the state and the enforcement of the fish and game laws, will remain in his present position for some time. I have some ideas of my own as to the kind of laws I hope to obtain at the hands of the legistature, but I am not ready to say anything about them now.” Devere Yeoman, who recently completed the civil engineering course at Valparaiso, returned from Chicago this afternoon, having been there to purchase some new surveying instruments. As a further means of insuring the safety of of passengers and trainmen, the interstate commerce commission has issued an order requiring the equipment with power brakes of 85 per cent of the cars in any train operated in interstate commerce, effective Sept. 1, 1910.'

Annual Commencement of Gillam Township Schools.

Medaryville Advertiser. The Gillam township commencement exercises Thursday evening of last week brought out one of the largest crowds of people that ever witnessed a similar occasion-.at that place—standing room was at a premium. And they were well repaid for their coming. The church had been beautifully decorated, the recitations by the graduates were well rendered and the address by Judge Charles Hanley was well worth coming miles to hear. Especially were his remarks interesting to the Gillam people, the Judge himself being a Gillam product and having himself graduated from the same platform on which he then stood as a speaker. He indulged in some reminiscenses with which some of those present were familiar, advanced some excellent educational ideas and gave some very good advice to the graduating class. A better speaker for this occasion could hardly have been secured, had they looked “the wide world over." The quartette that furnished the music was highly complimented on all sides and especially did the duet sung by Mrs. G. M. Guild and Mrs. L. G. Baughnhm receivea liberal share of the applause and praise. Trustee J. W. Selmer is to be congratulated upon the success of the event, which he had worked so hard to bring about.
