Robert Chamberlin and two children and John Stewart, of Chalmers, are attending the horse show and visiting the latter’s daughter, Mrs. J. C. Parrett and husband. Ed Bellows, of near Remington, had a fine yield of clover seed. On twenty acres he threshed out 30 bushels, which is a bushel and a half to the acre and regarded a very fine yield. Who can beat it? Mrs. Henry Amsler returned Tuesday from a visit of about two months spent with her daughter at Elizabeth, N. J. Last week she attended the national G. A. R. encampment as a delegate frpm Indiana to the Woman’s Relief Corps convention. Mrs. Amsler Had a splendid time and enjoyed the encampment. It seems to have been proven Friday evening that “the course of true love never did run smooth.” It is alleged that a certain young lady, suspicioning that her steady was about to go to a dance with another, went to his home and took away his dancing slippers and shoes, and that when he found it out, he went after them and a regular set-to ensued.

Shelby Grant recently visited at his boyhood home at LaFountain. When he was a youngster the town was called Ashland, and Shelby had not visited the place since 1861. The town is now a good sized place and it was with difficulty that Shelby got his bearings, but he finally reached the old brick house where he had formerly lived and it looked just as natural as when he was a boy.

Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Zard arrived here yesterday afternoon for a visit of about two weeks with relatives and many old neighbors and friends. They moved to Mitchell, S. Dak., in the spring of 1908, Fritz having bought a farm* of 320 acres 6 miles southeast of that city. He paid $57 per acre for it, but states that he would not sell it now for SIOO per acre. This year he raised 1,700 bushels of wheat,* 2,800 bushels of oats and has 130 acres of corn which will make a fine crop. Other Jasper county people near Prosperous.

“SHORTY” ADAMS RAISED HAVOC FRIDAY NIGHT.

Insane Man Tried to Destroy Padded Cell and Made Effort to Escape While Raving. “Shorty” Adams seems to be getting much worse again and Friday night he carried on in maniacal fashion, tearing off the padded sections and prying loose the inside padded bars of his cell. He could not have escaped, as there were heavy outside bars. Nightwatch Critser and Special Officers Parks and Campbell accompanied Sheriff Shirer to his cell in the evening and tried to dissuade him from his actions and for a time he was quiet, but at about 10:30 he started in again and the sheriff had to threaten him in order to get him to retire. He then lay down on his cot and spent the night in quiet. In the morning fie ate a hearty breakfast. Sheriff Shirer called up the Longcliffe asylum superintendent, but was again informed that there was no room for him at present and that he would have to be cared for here until room could be provided.

N. Littlefield ahd Mr. and Mrs. John T. Murray, of Rensselaer, and Frank P. Morton, of Goodland, returned Friday from a prospecting trip to Hamilton, N. Dak., where Harvey Davisson is located. Mr. Morton traded his farm of 200 acres in Jordan township for 320 acres of land within 2 tulles of Hamilton. Mr. Littlefield is also contemplating a trade and it is quite probable also that Mr. Murray may make a trade and decide to move to North Dakota. Mr. Littlefield thinks there are great prospects there and that Mr. Morton made a fine trade. My loan company is still making farm loans at 5 per cent. If you are going to need a loan make application now aS some other companies are already refusing to loan. John A. Dunlap, I. O. O. F. Bldg.

WRENS FOUND FRANCESVILLE EASY PICKING FRIDAY.

Pound Out 15 to 1 Victory in Greatest Swatting Event of Two Seasons— k -- Boswell Today and Sunday. The Wrens made enough hits and runs Friday to win a half dozen games if distributed carefully. They made a total of 17 hits, including one threebagger and eight doubles, and ran around the bases until exhausted. Swartgell was the chief slugger, making three doubles and one single in five times up. One of his smashes went to the fence and' looked like a George Fate homer for a short tiqae, but a quick return held him on second. Morgan got two doubles and a single, all with men on bases and earned the title of pinsh hitter by his timely swatting. Hanks got a three bagger that almost landed a half century of Havannas, and “Smiling Jack,” as the girls with dimples have dubbed him. almost ran over the Francesville third baseman who got dreadfully in his refad. -“Father” McLain also made three hits, all timely. Poor Mr. Benning) the Francesville hurler, looked too good to be thus led to the slaughter. He had on a black jersey with tiger stripes, a blue sock with a white stripe, a solid red stockIng, a blue jacket, a pair of faded blue trousers and real baseball shoes with an ankle brace, and if he had never pitched at all some folks would have taken him for a real pitcher. But he pitched, and thereby hangs a long story, filled with woe to Pulaskidom, and especial sadness to the vari-color-ed twirler. After five innings of misfortune and insult to his delivery, he was succeeded by Manager Coffel, who don’t claim to be a pitcher, and didn’t leave anyone suspicioning that he did. The story would be too long for a Sunday supplement and we merely print the line-up and summary, just to show who participated in the batfest and how much liberty they took. The Wrens played a real good game, Lakey pitching. It was his third game with only one score, his two previous ones having been shut-outs. This was near to the cipher HnO and might have been save for a bobble by Parcels who was trying to work too fast for a double. The little lefthander is giving splendid satisfaction to his teammates and fans, and is the best we have seen this year. He will probably work Sunday against Boswell.

Former Jasper County Woman Suicided by Drowning in River.

James Elliott has received word from his brother, Emery Elliott, who formerly lived in this county, but who moved from Kewanna last March tc Elk Point, S. Dak., stating that his wife had committed suicide by drowning herself in the Missouri river on Sept. 16th. She was a daughter of Alex. Schroder, of Walker township, now deceased, but her aged mother still lives in that township. The letter relates that on the morning of Sept. 16th, Mr. Elliott got up to feed his stock and when be returned to the house his wife was not there. He started out to look for her and finally found tracks leading to the river. Ha followed them and they ran down to the river bank. He procured aid and the river was dragged, but the body was not found until a week later when it was washed on a sandbar about a mile and a half down the river. She had apparently been in her usual health and must have been suddenly seized with insanity, as she had gone to the r|ver a half mile away in her night dress. The body was buried there. She was about 32 years of age and leaves a husband and four children, the oldest being 12 years of age. The husband and children will move back here and it is understood will reside with ins wife's mother in Walker township.

DEATH OF MRS. PORTER RELIEF OF SUFFERING.

Noble Woman Who Has Failed Since Death of Husband, Passes Away at Home Friday Evening. Mrs. Carrie Irwin Porter, widow of J. C. Porter, passed away at her home on Cullen street at about 7:15 o’clock Friday evening, thus brihging to a close the life of a noble woman who had suffered much in mental agony as well as physically since the death of her husband a few months ago. Mrs. Porter was quite well known in Rensselaer, where she had taught school prior to her marriage and where she had taken an active interest in every good work, being a devoted church woman and for many years a worker in the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic, of which she was a state officer for some time. Her health had been poor of recent years and she had undergone an operation a little over a year ago. She seemed to be getting along very well, when her husband and devoted companion was suddenly stricken with death. She was crushed at his death and said to those about her that she did not care to longer live. She made a great struggle, however, to recover, but during it all it was evident that she cared little for life and was resigned to (Jie and waited the end patiently for weeks. Only a few days before death she asked her nurse how much longer it would be and when told that it could not be long, she* said that she was thankful and wanted to go. The spark of life clung on for weeks after the doctors had given up hope of effecting a cure and even after death was hourly expected. Mrs. Porter leaves no children. Chas. Porter is a stepson, and William Saulter, of Kansas City, Mo., is a son of a former wife of her husband, J, C. Porter. James F. Irwin of Rensselaer, is a brother of the deceased. The funeral will be hfeld Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Presbyterian church, Rev. Parrett conducting the services. Caroline Irwin was born January 14, 1861, in Hamilton county, Indiana, and died September 30, 1910, in Rensselaer, Jasper county, Indiana, aged 49 years, 8 months and 16 days. She was a resident of Jasper county since the spring of 1865 and was a graduate of the Remington high school, and the Indiana State Normal school at Terre Haute. She was a teacher in the common school's of this county and in theßensselaer schools until June 17, 1891, when she was married to John Calvin Porter, who departed this life on April 19, 1910. Mrs. Porter was a daughter of William Irwin and Sallie A. Irwin, and was the youngest of a family of nine children, four of whom survive her, viz. James F. Irwin, of Rensselaer, Robert F. Irwin, of Remington, John A. Irwin, of Brook, and Mrs. Mary J.* Watts, of Broad Ripple. In early life she united with the M. E. church and was an active worker in that organization until after her marriage, when she affiliated with the Presbyterian church.

Some of the Many Things Union Township is Doing.

Steve Comer & Son, of Union township, have kept careful track of their returns from 15 cows this year. Beginning March 4th and closing with Sept. 30th, they have sold butter fats to the value of $540, making deliveries at Rensselaer and Parr. Within this time they have raised calves to veal age with an average value of $ll.OB per head. Thursday Amos Alter, of Union township, sold two O. I. C. hogs to Comer, McKeever & Zimmer, for which he received $93.75. There was 80 pounds weight off on one stag. The hogs were O. I. C. stock. Union township would like to hear from other townships in Jasper county to see if these two performances can be equalled.

Attended the Horse Show And Were Married While Here.

Roy Manford Beaver and Miss Stella Josephine Marlon, a young couple living in the south end of the county, came to town today to attend the horse show, and while here decided to get married. Rev. G. F. Clarke performed the ceremony at his residence at 2 o’clock this afternoon. The bridal couple were attended by three other young couples, friends and near-by neighbors.

DEHORITY DENIES AMOUNT OF CLAIM AGAINST MOROCCO.

Chief Accountant Says Examination Of Records Cost Newton County Town Only $l2O. Relating to the restraining order issued by Judge Hanley against the auditor of Newton county paying the bills from Chief Dehority’s office for the examination by members of the board, the chief is quoted by the Indianapolis News as saying that the examination cost only $l2O, instead of S9OO as had been alleged by the board of trustees of the town of Morocco when the petition against payment was made. The papers in the case are not on file in this county and it seems that neither the board of trustees nor Rodgers & Rodgers, their attorneys, have been able to find out what the bill against Mpoocco was to be. The books were taken to Kentland, where the accountants made the examination and were kept there for 45 days, and the board was led to believe that the accountants were at work on the books all of the time. It seems that the accountants ex- - plained that part of the time was consumed in going over the books of the other towns in the county, Kentland, Goodland and Brook.' Rodgers & Rodgers, in their petition for a restraining order, set forth that twenty days was consumed at a cost of about S4OO. If the cost is only $l2O it will be good news to Morocco, but displeasing to some of the other towns among which the total cost of making the examinations must be divided. It is reliably understood that William Darroch, as attorney for the town of Kentland, wrote to Chief Dehority and asked permission to come before the board and show cause why the charge for the examination of the Kentland books was excessive, but that Big Chief Dehority did not even answer his letter. The chief seems to follow the plan of making his statements through the Indianapolis newspapers, while the people who really have a right to know can not get answers to inqufries. Dehority should know what the bill against Morocco is and if he states that it is only $l2O he should speak from authority, but the members of the town board and their attorneys will wonder why the statement could not have been furnished to them instead of the accountants leading them to believe that the amount was any place up to a thousand dollars. But the Injunction is right, nevertheless, for the people who pay the taxes and run the business of Morocco should have a right to say whether the examination was needed or not and . what it was worth. Dehority says that he does not wnow what action the board will take about the injunction proceedings.
