Shelby Grant received a postal card a few days ago from Joseph F. Hordeman, who had just returned from the Philippine Islands, where he had been for the past six years as a member of the U. S. Army. He belongs to Ihe hospital corps and his present address is “Joseph F. Hordeman, General Hospital, Presidio, California.’’ He is a brother’of John, Peter, Henry and Herman Hordeman, and has served some fifteen years or more in the army. • . ••' T ■ 7 Walter Hopkins bad bis back quite severely wrenched Wednesday while assisting at the Thompson sale at Parr. He had a pig by the rear legs, and was trying to direct its movements wheelbarrow fashion and in some manner severely strained his spifial column. At first-if was feared that ho had been seriously injured. A physician was called and he soon improved with treatment. It will, however, be some time before he will have pnUrgjy recovered from the injury. Probably no one so severely afflicted as Henry Hordeman ever made better use of themselves under the dlfflcultiethe has to contend with. Notwithstanding the fact that he lost all the fingers of his right hand except his thumb and little finger when he was a boy and then lost the left arm just below the elbow last fall, he is getting along splendidly and is able to do a lot of work. Last week he loaded and unloaded a big load ot hay all by himself. He has a hook which he adjusts to the left arm and by means of it and the firm grip of the thumb and finger of his right hand he can handle a pitchfork dexterously and also do much other work. Henry is naturally industrious and it is hard to keep a worker down. He has secured an artificial hand which can be adjusted when he so desires ahd this is both useful and becoming. Three extremely large sales have taken place in Jasper county during the past week. On Wednesday the Thompson sale took place at Parr. It consisted of personal property of the S. P. Thompson estate and also personal property belonging to Firman Thompson and Frank Foltz. The sale drew a large crowd and most everything sold at a good figure. The sale totaled between five and six thousand-dollars. On Thursday at the Northern Indiana Land Co. ranch, near DeMotte, occurred the C. D. Shook safe. It drew one of the largest crowds that ever gathered for a sale in Jasper county. It was estimated that from 1,500 to 2,000 people were on hand. The day was idealr and there was a great amount of stuff. 1 The auctioneer, a man named Legg, from Tipton, kept things moving, but the sale was not completed until almost dark. The sale totaled about $1,500. Ed Ran ton’s sale also took place Thursday and was a good one. Things brought good prices. One mare brought $260 and another $250. This sale totaled about $2,100.
