Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 103, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 May 1911 — Attention! Gun Club Members. [ARTICLE]
Attention! Gun Club Members.
Members of the Rensselaer Gun Club are requested to meet at Eger’s hardware store Wednesday evening, May 3rd, at 1: 30 o’clock. Dr. J. W. Allison, of Essex, 111., has bought the farm of Milo Pearce, near St. Paul, this state, and will establish a health resort at the spot. There are medicinal springs on the land. Henry W. Tary, prominent lumberman and etf-regent of the University of Michigan, was found dead in his bed at a Grand Rapids hotel Friday. Heart failure was given as the cause. The “run on the bank” has been stripped of its terror, according to a statement made by the comptroller* of the currency Friday, showing that, most national institutions now carry enough cash to pay about half of their depositors at a, moment’s notice. With the exclamation, “I hope the Lprd will take me now,” Mrs. Louis Waggoner, 80 years old, of Springville, Starke county, dropped dead Thursday. Mrs. Waggoner had always lived with the belief that when she willed to die death would speedily come. ' , '• • Mrs. Leonard Rhoades returned home this afternoon from the hospital. Her husband and her sisters, Mrs. Oren Parker and Miss Mildred Harris, went to Chicago Saturday. She was not told of the death of her mother until that evening and passed such a poor night that the plan to bring her home Sunday was not carried out. Her father spent Sunday with her also. The others remained there and came home with her today. She is doing very well, except for the rheumatism that affects one foot James Norgor, the hitchbarn man, and “Little” Ike Parker had a slight mixup a fe wdays ago. Ike owed a balance of $1.60 according to Mr. Norgor, and persistently failed to pay up. When he started out of the hitchbarn Norgor caught his horse by the head and stopped him. Ike slipped out of the buggy and out of his coat and took a swipe at Norgor, who ducked and Ike missed Jiim. That was about all there was to it except that it*almost got into the Justice’s court. Ike paid the $1.60; which looks Uke the strange part of the whole thing.
