Lost a Shoe; Missed Excursion And Disappointed His Sweetheart.

Wheatfield Review. Mark Schroer, of Parr, started for here in his auto last Sunday with the intention of going to St. Joe on the excursion with his best girl, and on account of the rain, had worn his rubber boots and put his Sunday shoes in the auto and if ever You saw a mad man, it was Mark when he got near town and discovered he had lost one of the shoes. After going back five miles, he returned to Wheatfield, too late for the train. Mark told his troubles and visited with Mr. and .Mrs. John Clager and family. Clarence B. Kissinger, of Vincennes, was twice an heir in one week. The first time it was his uncle, David B. Kissinger, who left him $3,000, and t'.e second time it was Mrs. Catherine Harris, his mother-in-law. The latte*estate is the more valuable of the two. Thomas Hisgen, of Springfield, Mass., formerly of Indiana, was reelected president of the Independent Petroleum Marketeers’ association at a meeting last week in Louisville. Ky. W. H. Barbour, of Indianapolis, was named as a member of the executive committee. Joseph Chase, of Marshall county, celebrated the eighty-eighth anniversary of his birth last Thursday. At bis own pleasure he went into the harvest field and shocked wheat, and on the day before screened sand for a cement silo. He says a little work prolongs his days. The finding of the skeleton of a man by excavators who are double tracking the Big Four railroad near Pendleton has revived a story of a mysterious murder alleged to have been committed there more than seventy-five years ago. The skeleton is that of a man about six feet tall.
