RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER Iff, 1910.

JASPER COUNTY HAS LESS POPULATION THAN IN 1900.

Official Census Shows Falling Off of 1,248 in Ten Years—Present Census is 18,044.

Special to Evening Republican. Washington, D. C., Nov. Iff.— Jasper 'county’s population at the thirteenth census Is 13,044; the twelfth census was 14,292, and the eleventh census 11,185. E. DANA DURAND, Director.

It will no doubt be a great surprise to the people of Jasper county to find that the population is 1,248 less than it was ten years ago. There is nothing in this preliminary notice, of course, to indicate where the shortage came from. The population of Rensselaer in 1900 was 2,255, and it is probable that there has been little, if any, increase in this city. The population of Remington is reported to have fallen off, and Wheatfield is about the same size, possibly a little larger than it was ten years ago. There have been removals, to be sure, but about all the farms are tenanted that were ten years ago. There has been some tendency toward concentrated ownership, which is not calculated to increase population. The official population of Rensselaer will soon be made public and we can then learn whether the hub has kept up its part in maintaining the population of Jasper county.

The Kankakee Valley Review relates a serious accident that befell Tom Gundy, a young man eployed in D. K. Frye’s store at Roselawn. He was driving from Roselawii to Thayer with one of I. N. Best’s livery rigs last Saturday evening. One of the horses stumbled and broke the neck yoke strap and the horses began to run. After they had gone a short distance the pole of the buggy stuck in the ground, and with the sudden stopping of the rig Tom was thrown straight into the air and in coming down head first one of the whippietrees which was broken stuck in his right leg, entering about the groin and penetrating toward the knee, a distance of about 10 inches. He was impaled head downward and had a difficult time in getting his limb loose, having to push himself upward from the tongue. After he had freed himself he crawled on his hands and knees a distance of half a mile to a farm residence but found no one at home. He then went to the road and when a buggy came by he called for aid, but the first buggy did not stop. He later stopped another buggy and was taken to Thayer, where it was found that a splinter from the singletree, half an inch square, and more than 10 inches long, was still in the leg. It was necessary to give an anaesthetic when this was removed. He is now recovering but it is possible that he will have to have an operation performed to make certain that all the splinters were removed from the leg.

‘ Farmer” Hopkins came almost taking his last auto ride last Sunday evening. He was accompanied by his son George and three daughters, and was returning from a trip to the north part of the county. At the dredge ditch at the Schroer corner in Barkley township, the auto ran off the grade and jumped over the bank and into the ditch, turning completely over. Miraculously all the family escaped injury, although the machine was a complete wreck. Mark Schroer, who witnessed the accident, thought all of the passengers in the car had certainly been killed and called his father to hasten with him to the scene. When they reached there George Hopkins had already reached tKb bank and the little girls were scrambling up the bank and “Farmer” was standing in the center of the ditch, in which there was about two feet of water. The car was pulled up on the bank and the next day taken to Mr. Hopkins’ home. It is an Auburn car and the estimated injury to it is S4OO.

MODEL CLOTHING CO., SIMON LEOPOLD, Mgr The Home Grocery has another car of fine Michigan potatoes on track again this week. They were shipped in a fruit car free from frost danger.

WANTS DIVORCE AFTER LONG MARRIED LIFE.

Addie Kenoyer Charges Aaron Kenoyer With Many Faults and Asks Alimony in Sum of $40,000.

One of the most sensational divorce suits ever filed with the clerk of the Jasper county circuit court is that of Addle Kenoyer vs. Aaron Kenoyer, sent here on change of venue from Newton county. The defendant lives in Indianapolis, where with colored colored people he is known by the soubriquet of “Father Mose.” He is the owner of 300 acres of land north of Kentland, valued at about S2OO an acre, and the complaint sets out that he also owns Indianapolis property and that the plaintiff is of the opinion that he has money in bank, and other valuable assets. For twenty-eight years they lived in Kentland and raised a family of five children during the forty-twc years that they lived together. They separated in May, 1908, according to the complaint, and have not since that time cohabited together. The suit was-brought by T. B. Cunningham and he later called in Attorney Frank Foltz. The defendant has had a number of lawyers on the string but for some reason they are sidestepping the case. Just why is not known unless it is a matter of the size of the fee, for there are usually a number of lawyers ready to help out a first-class family quarrel when there is alimony in the sum of $40,000 at stake. Among the attorneys that were counseled by the defendant and who have since withdrawn from the defendant’s 'side of the case are Isham & Isham, of Fowler, and Emory Sellers, of Monticello. Kenoyer is now said to have entrusted his case to an Indianapolis attorney.

The complaint sets forth that the couple were married April 5, 1866, more than 44 years ago. It alleges that during most ail of that time the defendant was guilty of cruel and inhuman treatment and that she continued to live with him for the sake of their children. Their marriage, the complaint says, took place in Indianapolis when she was only 14 years of age. The complaint says that in the superior court of Indianapolis, in May, 1908, he was ordered to pay her $25 per month for her support. This, she alleges, she has trouble to collect. In addition to general cruelty, Mrs. Kenoyer charges her husband with intoxication and with applying to her

Battle Ground to Play at St. Joseph College Saturday.

Battle Ground will play football Saturday at St Joseph’s college. It will be the first game the college has had, although two or three previous cnes have been scheduled. Battle Ground has Charley Wood at the head, and Charley has been coming to Rensselaer on football missions for the past fifteen years. He is past the playing stage and is engaged in a managerial role. Hugh Kirk is coaching the college and has the Husky St. Joe boys in fine condition and it is probable that no athletic team in this section of wUTMe able to make much of a showing against them. Battle Ground, however, always has a husky team and when there is anything real hard they usually go to Lafayette and stock up and it is understood that several former Purdue players are to be in the Battle Ground line-up. The high school has no game for the date and the college game will be the only one in Rensselaer. It will be called at 2:30 o’clock.

vile names and of accusing her of various bad things, and she alleges that on the stand at Indiaiapolis he disclaimed that their two younger children were his, thereby casting a stigma upon both herself and the children. She further alleges that he was almost habitually in the company of negroes, lived with negroes, slept at their homes and formed depraved associations. She makes “Father Mose” out a regular son-of-a-gun and winds up by asking that the court adjust their domestic affairs by granting her a divorce and $40,000 alimony.

Sergeant Who Attended Reunion Here Wants to Thank the Ladies.

John W. Stevens' Is the name of a veteran of the 87th regiment who attended the recent reunion in Rensselaer. He enjoyed the affair so much that he went home and broke out In poetry about It and sent his poem to The Republican for publication but we have.held It up for repairs because of a growing prejudice against homemade poetry. Mr. Stevens wrote that he was well, was eating well, feeling well, and dressing fairly well, which statement he makes for the benefit of his old comrades of the bully old fighting never-go|-licked 87th. He, was a sergeant in company B of that regiment and went out from Francesville. He says he will never forget that dinner, the ladies served and says “God bless the ladles.” In a postscript Mr. Stevens says that he will be pleased to bear from any of the ladies who waited on the tables that day, says he is single and only 67 years of age. Evidently he thinks the Republican is engaged in the matrimonial publication business. He gives his address as Sergt. John W. Stevens, Flagman Kenilworth Ave., Oak Park, HL
