RENSSELAER, INDIANA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1910.

ALLEGED BLIND TIGER RAIDED BY THE OFFICERS.

Charlie Bowers and Henry McNeal Arrested—Bowers Bound Over to Circuit Court Saturday afternoon Marshal Mustard and Nightwatch Critser raided the barn in the rear of the Ransford property on Cullen street a block from the court house and suceeded in capturing 25 full quarts of beer, two cases partly filled with empties, a bucket of ice water and ice, Bowers, Alva Hood and Harry McNeal, of Milroy township. The officers have been suspicious of the place for some time but were unable to get any evidence to justify a raid. Saturday afternoon McNeal was noticed in an intoxicated condition and Marshal Mustard told him he had better get out of town. McNeal gpt his team and he anti- Hood started east from the livery barn. Mustard was suspicious and getting Officer Critser to go with him they started after McNeal, who drove into the alley back of Bower’s barn. The officers went another route and passing through the Medicuß property went to the barn from the south and entered a door from the east just as Bowers was opening a bottle of beer. Bowers acted surprised and set the bottle down and called Mustard aside to explain that nothing was wrong. As they returned to the barn McNeal had the bottle to his lips and was emptying it. The story told by Bowers and McNeal was that McNeal had driven up to the barn to trade horses and brought the beer with him. When the officers made preparations to search the barn Bowers weakened and admitted he had a little beer there for his own use and showed them where it was.

The captured beer was turned over to the sheriff and Bowers was placed under arrest on the charge of running a blind pig and McNead on the charge of intoxication. McNeal entered a plea of guilty before Squire Irwin Saturday and was fined a dollar and costs, $4.80 in all. f Bowers was given a hearing befofe Squire Irwin thlß Monday morning and was bound over to the circuit court in the sum of SIOO. The penalty for running a. blind pig is a fine of not less than SSO for the first offense and a jail sentence. This placed the matter out of the jurisdiction of the justice court. The officers claim they have enough circumstantial evidence to convict, aud the outcome will be watched with interest. Only one arrest before this one has been made in Rensselaer for running a blind pig since the city went “dry” and the verdict in the former case was one of acquittal, the first trial resulting in a disagreement of the jury. It has been suspected for some time that » number of blind tigers have been running full blast here and this arrest may put a curb on the suspected places. There is altogether too much drunkenness in Rensselaer for a “dry” town.

Mr. and Mrs. John Thornton and Ernie Zea spent Sunday In Fair Oaks. The county commissioners and township trustees met in regular monthly session today. Marion Smith and family moved to Elkhart today. Miss Myra Norris accompanied them there. It 1b said that four or five blind tigers have ceased operations since the raid of last Saturday.

Obituary of Mrs. Frank Foltz.

Mrs. Eva' Foltz, the eldest daughter and child of Dr. Jonathan and Mary Elizabeth Kolb, was born oq the third day of March, 1860, eight miles southwest of Battle Ground, Tippecanoe county, Indiana. From this place her parents moved to Milford, Illinois, in 1862. From there they moved to Oxford, Indiana, in 1863. Mrs; Foltz's early education was received in Oxford Academy. She also attended college at Valparaiso in 1881 and 1882. In 1883 she studied music in Chicago. She began teaching school at the age of fifteen. Her first work was in Oxford Academy. Her chosen profession was successfully followed until she was married to Frank Foltz on October 20, 1886. After marriage they came to Rensselaer where they lived happily together until the time of her death.

Mrs. Foltz was a consistent ans exemplar member of the Christian church. At the age of twelve she confessed her faith in Christ and was baptized by William D. Owen and united with the Christian. church at Oxford, Indiana. After coming to Rensselaer she was- among the number who organized the Christian church, thus becoming one of the charter members. Her reputation as a church worker was coextensive with her name. She always sought the advancement of the church’s interests. For many years she has been secretary and treasurer of the Ladies’ Missionary Society as well as its inspiration and life. Her love for and ability to manage and educate children gave her a coveted place in the hearts of the children in the bible .school. At the time of her death she was the very efficient superintendent of the primary department in the church’s school. She was a good student and a careful reader and took a lively interest in library work, being a member of the Ladies’ Literary Club of this city. It is conceeded by all who knew Mrs. Foltz that she was the personification of Christian principles.' Tier life was full of inspiring messages and good deeds. To her this world was God’s and very good. She loved birds, Qowers, trees, books, streams, music, poetry, children, choice spirits, in fact, all things God has created both great and small. For several years her health has been impaired, gradually growing worse with each recurring season. On July the ninth she was stricken with paralysis, from which she never recovered. For two months she lingered in a semi-conscious condition, but yielded to death’s summons at 5:45 on the morning of September the first, 1910, her age being fifty years, five months and twenty days. She leaves to mourn her departure a husband, a brother, E, Worth Kolb, a number of aunts, uncles and cousins, besides a host of friends. The funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon in the Christian church and conducted by the pastor, G. H. Clarke. The house was filled with sorrowing friends. The Ladies’ Literary Club attended in a body, as well as the primary department of the bible school. The floral offerings were many and grouped about the casket and pulpit most artistically. The body was laid to rest in Weston cemetery. :

A Tribute by a School and Lifelong Friend.

Eva Kolb Foltz, the eldest child of Dr. and Mrs. Kolb, has gone from among us. Our first thought was, how can we ever get along without Eva? She was little mother to Belle, Lucy and Worth, and to her crowd of girl friends all little details were carried out lb her active mind and little willing fingers, and since her marriage to Frank Foltz on October 20, 1880, she has been mother to the Rensselaer children for twenty-four years. The best years—how rich they all are. She had her holiday, her birthday, March 3d, so many times cold and raw, but some gloriously beautiful, were spent when a child with her Grandmother Kolb. How happy and sweet she looked off for a day of joy and her trips to Uncle John and Uncle Levi. Her work in the church was next to home, always accompanying her father to Sunday school, where he was superintendent for so many years, and Eva was always ready to assist In the

music or teaching or review. Boys and girls who were in her class never wanted a change and when the class grew too ■ large there was always a great time to reconcile those who had to be transferred to another teacher. In her day school work as a teacher there was the same devotion to the task and the little pupils learned to he kind, to step softly and many things not Written in books. At one time she taught a whole week and could not speak above a whisper but the sympathetic children were in perfect order.

Her heart was full of the art of love in the home, in the school room, in the church or among her friends. Her home parlors are hung'with oil paintings, her own work, her buffet is filled with her hand painted china, her furniture is covered with her embroidery and her table was always filled with her cooking and the house was filled with her music—music whioh was a part of her. “Sorrowing in my saddened moments, Laughing in my hours of glee, Blessings on thee, old piano! While I live we ne’er shall part For the melody is woven With the pulses of rdy heart.” How delightful was the drive across the broad prairies to the old home to bring the piano to the new, and during her last illness her thoughts were expressed to end in the lines of familiar hymns. “So long Thy power has blest me, sure it still will lead me on 'O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till the night is gone. And with the morn those angel faces smile Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.”

Card of Thanks.

Through the Republican I desire to thank each. friend, each organization and the public generally for each expression of love and each act of kindness extended to me and mine in the loss of my beloved wife and the services connected therewith.

Mr. and Mrs. Ray Thompson and Mrs. Vernon Nowels spent yesterday in Gary, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Lawson Meyers. About two weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Meyers were hurrying to catch a street car. Mr. Meyers was carrying their three-year-old child, and slipping, fell, and the child’s head was bumped. The child became sick and its throat has become paralyzed, which is attributed to the fall. Yesterday some improvement was noticed in the child’s condition.
