There werp-about twice the number of women and boxes that there were men, hut the gallant knights bought two boxes each, and all the women were happy and the men choicely and plentifully fed. The boxes brought a total of $13.15. The evening was largely devoted to playing fOur-hanfled euchre, and in social conversation. I Mrs. Isaac Parker came from Hanging Grove township this morning to spend the day with her daughter, Miss Vera Parker, and will go from here to Brook for a short visit with her daughter, .Mrs. W. f.l. Parkinson, before leaving for Mitchell, S. Dak., the future home of the Parker family. Mr. Parker is shipping a car of household goods, etc., and a team of mules through. The many friends of the family will hope that they share the same favorable result to which others who went from Jasper county to Mitchell, have attained. Judson H. Perkins, I. B. Marion and Harvey Moore, under the firm name of Judson H. Perkins & Co., have organized a Arm to engage actively in the windmill, pump, gasoline engine, wagon scale and plumbing business, with especial attention to the latter. They have, rented the room at ';<r corner of the block east of The Republican offloe and opposite McKay’s laundry, and are out after work and business. All are experienced mechanics and they will doubtless be given about all the work they can do. tyf- Perkins l|.the county clerk elect, but will not take that office until May 1, 1912. Dyspepsia is America’s curse. Burdock Blood Bitters conquers dyspepsia every time. It drives out impurities; tones the stomach, festores perfect digestion, normal weight, and good health.

Revolting Charges in Court Expose Reported in Brief Form.

After hearing some of the testimony and most of the pleading in the case against John Colton, the actor, in which, Wilbur Suqderland, 8 years of age, and Robert Richcreek, 12 years of age, were the plaintiffs, The Republican has decided that the case is too revolting to have more than passing mention in thesp. columns. The testimony was all in Wednesday evening and all Thursday morning was consumed in the introductory argument of Prosecuting Attorney Longwell for the state and of W. ft. Parkinson and Attorney Baker for the defense. Baker is the prosecuting attorney of Marion county and his interest in the Colton case is because of to the defendant, he being a cousin. Court adjourned shortly before 12 o'clock and reconvened at 12:30, when the prosecutor began his closing argument. The case went to the jury at 2:15, and the jury was still out when The Republican went to press. Goods are selling fast at the Fire Sale, north of the depot. L. A. Hopkins, of Huntington county, has been visiting his daughter, Mrs. Wm. Yeiter, and his father, Uncle Clint Hopkins. Doan’s Regulets cure constipation without griping, nausea, nor anyweakening effect. Ask your druggist for them. 25 cents per box. Tom pallahan crushed one wheel of his auto Wednesday and almost ruined another. He was going east on the gravel road and turned out to pass a load of hay. He did not notice a pile of crushed stone, which whs concealed beneath the snow and ran into it.

A strange acting dog went through the streets of Rensselaer this morning and snapped at every dog that came in its v/ay. Marshal Mustard was certain the animal was suffering from some disease and says it bit three other dogs at least. He took after it and chased the dog beyond the depot, but never got close enough to get a revolver shot at it. He thinks it time that all dogs are muzzled and an order will probably be issued that this tie done and all unmuzzled dogs that roam the streets shot. J. H. Conway, - who conducted a saloon at Parr some years ago, was in Rensselaer over night. He is now engaged in "the same business at East Chicago. Free lunches are served there with a glass of beer and Joe was here purchasing eggs, which continue to sell for 25 cents a dozen there. He also 'hoped to buy some rabbits for his Saturday night lunch, but there were none in the market He says the grand jury at Hammond is not going after the small things, but are raising some havoc with the big •gambling houses. When Joe got forced out of business in "dry” territory he determined to get into a city where he wouldn’t have to worry, and there is a free and easy method of conducting a saloon in East Chicago that makes Joe forget all th'e worry •he used to have in this country. There are 'mothers who brag hboul how ipuch the children look like iheir dad.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1911.

ALLEGED CHICKEN THIEVES BOUND OVER TO COURT.

Bert Lewis Identifies Day and Hubhard as Men He Saw With. Fowls At J. D. Miller Farm. William Day and Joe Hubbard, of near Lee, were remanded to jail in Rensselaer Wednesday afternoon by Squire S. C. litoin,- after a preliminary hearing had bhen conducted in the justice’s court. Bail was fixed at S3OO in each case and they were unable to furnish it. Day and HubbaYd are charged with stealing chickens, a practice that has been common in the neighborhood of Lee and McCoysburg. The prosecut-. ing witness was Bert Lewis, a young man who claims to have been coming by the J. D. Miller farm residence at 11 o’clock op the night of Feb, 14th, and to have seen one man standing by a one-horse wagon near the side of the road arid two others coming from the chicken house with their hands full of chickens. Lewis identified Day as the man by the wagon and Hubbard as one of the men that was coming with the chickens, lie stated that Day ducked down into the ditch and the men squatted down when Ah®y saw him coming. But it was moonlight and he got a good look at them. He said there was a chicken coop, partly filled with chickens, on the wagon. He did not know the third man, but the affidavit which he made charged John Doe with being the third party. When the marshal of Monon went after Day his brother Oren was at the house, but the marshal did not take him. Oren Day is now said to have gone “south”—in other words, to have made a hasty getaway.' Oren Day Is also said to have paid a visit to Monon recently to have a bunch of shot picked out of his back and these shot are thought to have been accumlated in a retreat from a hen roost. Jim Haines, whose reputation is far from savory, and who acquired his chief local notoriety when he fired at a game warden in making a getaway several mpnths ago, was greatly interested in the case of Day and Hubbard. He came to town Wednesday and tried to get into communication with the men at the jail, but was denied the privilege. He visited the court of Squire Irwin and found out when the hearing would take place and was on hand when the case was ealled. He seemed to have a deep heart interest in the proceedings.

The three women who came to Rensselaer on the milk train Wednesday morning remained until the trial was on and went to Lee on the evening train. They are the wives of William and Oren Day and Joe Hubbard. After reaching Rensselaer the women went to Hasty Bros.’ grocery store, near tne depot, and asked for revolver cartridges. They also went to the store rooms across the track, but found them unoccupied. The belief seems to exist at Le? that a bad gang has been rounded up, but they admit that a conviction may ha difficult. Lots of poultry has been shipped out from Monon, Wolcott and other places by strangers and the impression seems to be that a gang of thieves is doing the business. It may prove hard to show the connection of this gang with the shipments. The positive identification of the men, however, by Bert Lewis will probably go a long way toward conviction. J. D. Miller and wife testified that there were about 18 chickens missing from their place the morning after Lewis saw thieves at the house. William Rayher left this morning overland for his farm near Forest, Clinton county, and Mrs. Rayher left this afternoon on the 1:58 train for Monticello, where she will remain over night with her daughter, Mrs. Will Roth, and go the next day to Forest. Mr. Rayher took a team and a coop of chickens and a few other things with him. Their daughter Viola will remain here at the Milliron restaurant for the present. Their son Glenn will return to S. Dak., where he will work on a farm for Mason kenton. Bill Rayher was one pf the most popular hustlers that Renssdlaer has ever known. For eight years he was the deliveryman at Bger's grocery and his prompt add obliging manner and his sunny disposition made him a general favorite. All who are acquainted with him and his family will wish them the best of fortune on (heir farm home. Bill has a farm of 51 acres for which he was recently offered $125 per acre. He will erect a new house on the farm and otherwise improve the place and make a home with the expectation of occupying it permanently. For this week, nice juicy lemons, lc each, or 12c a dozen.

Rensselaer High School 27; St. Joseph’s College 23.

After suffering eight defeats in the past four seasons, Rensselaer high school won her first victory in basketball over her college neighbors, in the armory Wednesday afternoon. The floor was dangerously smooth, following the dance of the previous night, and the play at times resembled a game of tag on ice. St. Joe drew the first blood with a field goal by Fiely, followed quickly by two sensational goals, by Porter, after which Rensselaer never lost the lead, which fluctuated between two and ten points.’ The first half ended 12 to 15 in favor of the high school. Porter’s brilliant basket shooting was the feature of the game. Parks and Robinson also dropped counters through the rings from difficult angles. The high school team’s defense has improved remarkably since the first games of the season. Fiely and Grathwol played strong games for St. Joe. Since the high school boys had not had any previous practice upon the armory floor, they derived no advantage from playing at home. The game was exceptionaljmclean and free from roughness. TWQPdouble fouls and a single foul on each team afforded the only opportunities for free throws. The work of Referee Reed, of the college, was highly satisfactory to the high school team. The high school has scheduled for the home floor a double game with Sheldon, 111., and boys’ games wkli Delphi, and probably Wheatfleld and Crown Point, and the prospect for a series of victories is \ety bright at present. Summary—field baskets, Parks 3; Robinson 4; Porter 6; Harrison 1, Moran 1; Fiely 4; Carmody 1; Grathwol 4. Free throws, Porter 1; Fiely i. Officials, Dead* and Reed. Time of halves, 20 minutes.

Frank Maloy’s Opinion of “Amy of The Circus.”

“Amy of the Circus” is taking like wild fire. It will be at the Ellis theatre Friday night, presented by the stock company, which is giving such splendid satisfaction. The following opinions will be read with interest and should help pack the house: Lowell, Ind., Feb. 22. Friend Jim: “Amy of the Circus” drew the biggest house of the stock company’s season last night. The story is close to that of “Polly of the Circus,” cutting out, of course, the spangles, the ring and the acrobats, and is really as good or better than Polly. There is a mighty good lot of dope in the play, sufficient to point many a moral, mixed up with some of tingfeatest comedy I have ever seen Fester, as the deacon, was certainly some humdinger. The whole cast is above par, and it would be hard to pick out any particular one bt-iter than the rest. Trust you pack ’em in. FRANK. Kentland, Ind., Feb. 22, 1911. Manager Opera House, Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Sir^, The stock company presented “Amy of the Circus” at our theatre last night and their v presentation of this comedy was certainly a great treat. As you know, their play* have been of a high order, but “Amjt.of the Circus’’ was far superior to anything presented heretofore. No matter how mrny good things you may say about this play, it will excerid your expectations. I am writing you unknown to Mr. Gordon or any member of the company. Yours truly, H. L. SAMMONS, Manager Kentland Theatre.
