James Blankenship and Ellsworth Webb were in from Milroy township yesterday getting some advice about a petition they will present to County Superintendent Lamson and Trustee G. L.

There is a lively scrap on hand about the proposed change, the patrons being about equally divided as.to the chhnge and front present indications the case will ultimately be decided in the courts. Mr. Blankenship states that the present building is old and unsanitary, with low walls and poor ventilation, and that a new •building is essential. He stated that the petition that will be presented has a majority of dne of the patrons, but that the opposition is charging that to secure a majority, one man was purchased to sign the petition.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1910.

David Nowels, who was 89 years of age September 15th, and his wife, who died three years ago.

David Nowels Passed 89th Birthday on September 15th.

Thursday was the 89th birthday of our venerable townsman, David Nowels, who is not only the oldest male resident of Rensselaer at this time, but the oldest resident of Jasper county. He is in feeble health but able to be up and around all of the time and makes frequent trips down town. Mr. Nowels is being cared for by his son, W. R. Nowels, and wife. They are enjoying a visit from their daughter, Mrs. Lillian McGimsy, of Plymouth.

Prosecutor Files New Affidavit; Chesnut’s Trial 'Next Tuesday.

Since it was improbable that George Daubner, the man from whom the rain coat and automobile goggles were stolen, might not return to prosecute Scott R. Chesnut, accused with the crime, Prosecuting Attorney Fred Longwell filed another affidavit charging Chesnut with the crime. He was brought into court this Friday afternoon and the court fixed new bail at S3OO. Chesnut was represented by Attorney George A. Williams and the trial was set for next Tuesday. Chesnut was returned to Jail. While the evidence at the preliminary trial indicated Chesnut’s< guilt, it was shown that he was under the influence of liquor and his appearance at the trial left no doubt -on .that score, and it seems a pity that- for such an offense he should be hustled off to the reformatory. He is industrious, a mechanic of ability and a firstclass electrician and the lesson he bas already received should bring hiir> to his senses and we believe it would be better if some milder punishment could be meted out than a reformatory sentence. It is being claimed that automobiles have been stripped of tools and various other equipment in Rensselaer and that others have had a hand in it and it is probable that automobile garage owners will now take positive measures to keep loafers out of their places of business. But, it don’t seem right to hustle Scott Cheßnut oft to the penitentiary for a crime of this magnitude, committed when he was intoxicated, and we believe he should be given an opportunity to reform without such severe punishment, which might do more to discourage and dishearten than to reform.

Four Children Taken to An Orphans' Home at Plymouth.

Dr. Clayton, of Monon, In Serious Automobile Collision.

Monticello Democrat. Dr. George R. Clayton, of Monon, was in Monticello last Saturday to buy a new automobile, having gotten his badly broken up in an accident Friday night. The doctor was responding to a hurry call about 10 o’clock Friday night, and when a short distance north of Monon met a Monon livery rig returning from a trip to Francesville. He turned out to give the r 4 a portion of the road but the’ driver failed to do likewise and the next moment the horses were standing on their hind feet right in front of the machine, and one of them came down right on the hood over the engine while the other broke from the rig and stood facing the auto from the rear. The doctor was not hurt, but a Monon lady who was accompanying him to his case in the country sustained a serious cut on the hand and was badly bruised about the breast. She was also about prostrated from the nervous shock. Quickly climbing out of his machine the doctor cleared away the wreck, made a few forcible and appropriate remarks to the driver of the rig, cranked up his machine and went on to his destination.
