Third Hitch at the PowellGreenlee Trial Begun Thursday. The trial of Mrs. E. E. Powell vs. Eva Greenlee was started again this Thursday morning. A jury of eleven was chosen shortly before noon, the parties having agreed to that number when there seemed some difficulty in finding the twelfth man. This is the third hitch for the trial. It came up in the first place when Mrs Greenlee sought to recover the notes she had given Mrs. Powell for the purchase of the hotel. It next appeared at the last term of the court when Mrs. Powell sought judgment for the amount involved in the notes. The trial came to a sudden halt when well nigh concluded by the sickness of Frank Tillett, a Gillam township juryman. It begins to look like the court costs and the attorney fees would amount to about as much as the notes. Don’t you enjoy the blithe singing and lively good nature that constitutes a good musical comedy. “THEM Henderson Kids” looks like a real good thing in this ljne. It will be at the Ellis theatre Saturday night. Art Battleday and Leon Eiglesbach are planning a trip to the west, and may locate in the state of Washington. Both are automobile experts and hope to secure employment at their trade out there. A. Leopold returned last evening from the North Side hospital in Chicago, where he had been for about two weeks. He is feeling better than he has for a long time, looks improved and says he feels twenty years younger. „

Sheriff Hoover yesterday took Brandenberg, the self-confessed forger, to Jeffersonville to begin his term of 2 to 14 years in the reformatory. He will start for Michigan City, probably .tomorrow morning, with Joseph Mcr Colly, who will serve 2 to 21 years. The treasurer’s office presents a busy scene these days. Taxpayers are here from all o/er the cojpty. After next Monday the penalty is due and there will doubtless by a grand rush at the finish. Better try to get in Friday or Saturday and save time and possibly the result of getting shoved over to the next day with the penalty added. Mrs. Harley Shields and children came in from Pleasant Ridge this •tnorning. They will remain for the present with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Platt. When the fire was discovered that burned 'them out Tuesday, “Uncle” Charley was at their house. He was carried to a place of safety. Mrs. Shields thinks the fire had been smouldering in the roof all morning as it did not start from the flue to which the kitchen stove was attached and there had been no fire in the other since early morning. She says that the neighbors were all very kind to them. The house was a total loss. It belonged to J. J. Lawler and was insured for S4OO in the R. B. Harris agency. Mr. and Mrs; Shields have their effects stored in the school house.
