Rensselaer Lost Second Hall Game in Winona League Race.

Howard Clark arrived home this Friday morning from Winona. He stated that the Rensselaer boys lost their second game played Thursday, to Muncie, that Winona had withdrawn from the league, leaving only the three teams and that he thought Rensselaer did not have a chance to win, owing to the older and larger boys that constituted the opposing teams. He thought two other boys would reach home tomorrow, considering the circus a greater attraction than the camp.

Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Wert returned this morning to Michigan City after a visit here with George Tullis and family. C. Knapp arrived from Jamestown, N. Y., this morning to visit his son, John M. Knapp and family. He states that his part of the country looks good and good crops are being harvested.

Today has been cloudy and clear alternately and more rain seems impending. A murder occurred at Clymers station, nor far from Delphi, Thursday morning. A farm tenant named L. G. Pippinger was murdered by Samuel Michaels, who owned the farm on which Pippinger Jived. Bad blood had existed for some time between th-j men. Michaels claims that Pippinger attacked him with a pitchfork and is said to have several wounds, one passing through his right forearm. Michaels was arrested shortly afte.’ the shooting and is confined in the Delphi jail. Both Michaels and Pippinger were well-to-do men and regarded very highly in the community in which they lived. The circus will be here tomorrow, arriving early in the morning from Monticello, where it is exhibiting today. Those who get up early will be able to see the unloading, which is a sight really worth making an effort t) see. The circus will exhibit on the ball grounds, the east end. The gen-"* eral admission is 50 cents. An extra charge will be made for the reserved seats, facing the middle ring. Havj the correct change for your tickets, or at least keep your eye on the ticket seller and don’t leave the place until you are sure he has given you the correct change. There will be plenty of room for all, and you will not have to buy 75 cent seats, in case some of the ticket sellers offer them at that price, as was done once befofe. The show is a good one, worth your attendance, but you should take every precaution against being defrauded. George Robinson and family who have been here from Connorsville since before the 4th expect to return home within a week of two. George was injured the second of July last year falling while working as a lineman for the electric light company. The twelfth vertebra of his back was broken, resulting in the paralysis of his right leg and leaving him so badly crippled that physicians thought he could not live. For months he was confined to his bed, but finally he began to improve and hiß present condition lends great encouragement to himself, his family and friends. Since coming here he has made three or four trips up town on crutches and his right leg which the doctors had told him would always be useless he is now able to move and to bear his weight upon. George is an example of the gospel of cheerfulness and determination and his improvement was largely brought about by his confidence and his smiles. His back was broken and the twist in it can be plainly felt. Following his accident he ran down In weight to less than a hundred pounds, but now he is back to near his old weight, 240 pounds Always the freshest and best in fruits and vegetables at the Home Grocery.

Monon Prover Easy For Francesville Baseball Team.

Baseball rivalry has been at a high pitch for some time between Francesville and Monon and culminated Thursday afternoon in a championship contest held on the Monticello grounds, with netral umpires. An agreement vas signed binding the two towns ti i.ie only players residing in the respec tive towns and naming the players from which the teams were to be selected. The partisans of the two teams went to Monticello in great force, i' being estimated that 100 Francesville fans and two hundred from Monon journeyed to Monticello to witness the game and to participate in the rooting. Nothing occurred to mar the sportsmanship of the contest. The rooting was constant and shafts of wit passed between the partisans of the teams but rney were friendly and amusing. The girls constituted the chief noise makers and the ruling of the umpires were drowned in a medley of singing and megaphones and shouts. Although Francesville took the lead in the first inning and increased it as the game waned and when the final result show ed that Francesville had made 16 to Monon’s three, it might be said that Monon had her boots on when she fell. To all appearances Francesville had realy much the better team, but the excitement may have been more than the nerves of the Monon boys

WEATHER FORECAST. Showers this afternoon and cooler in northwest portion. Saturday partly cloudy.

could stand and thus account for the frequent errors they made. As it was Francesville went horn* with the bacon, the coin, the pennant and the delight of victory, but they bore their success modestly and did not rub it in to their defeated rival* after the contest. Monon is half & mind, to try it over again, in whick case the game may be played in Rensselaer.
