ASSOCIATION VICTORIOUS IN FOUNTAIN PARK SUIT.

Plaintiff Dismissed Suit and Defendants Forced It in Order to Find Out How Things Stood. The suit brought some time ago by Chris. Hensler against the Fountain -Park Association, and which involved the ownership of the 8-room cottage built" during the control of the association by Robert Parker, was dismissed Monday morning. Mr. Hensler bought the land where the Chautauqua grounds are located of Trustee William H. Cheadle, after the Parker bank failure. He understood that the cottage# and moat of the buildings belonged to the association or to private individuals, but thought the 8room cottage had. belonged to Mr. Parker, and if it did it would be his in the transfer. He therefore sued for the rental, but he decided to dismiss the suit and this was done Monday morning. The association was here in strength for the legal conflict, however, and J. H. Biddle, one of the directors, who had been looking after the company’s part of the suit for some time, had satisfied himself that the company oouid win and he refused to countenance a dismissal, arguing that it would come up later and that it would be better to settle it now once for all. After a conference of the directors and their attorneys, Frank *Foltz, of Rensselaer, and Dan Fraser, of Fowler, it was decided to force <the fight and the association became the plaintiff and sued for several things. Among the points contended for was the ownership of the cottage and of the tabernacle and an order of the court to compel Hensler to again put the amphitheatre and grandstand on the old fair grounds into condition, it being shown that he had dismantled these to the detriment of the association. They also asked that the road on the east side of the grounds be kept open a't all times. The case called many' witnesses into the conflict and the evidence seemed to sustain the claims of the association officers in practically every particular. It was tried before Judge. Hanley. Mr. Hensler was represented by Senator Halleck and George A. Williams. The court gave his decision soon after noon today, Tuesday. He ruled that all the buildings except the tabernacle would belong to tbe association at tbe termination of the lease in 1929; that the east road mugt be kept open, and that tbe amphitheatre and grandstand must be repaired.

There was a thin sheet of Ice over small vessels of water this morning and it is possible that it was sufficient to cause trouble to the fruit Opinions differ about this at this time. The forecast is for frost again tonight, however, and the weatherman is evidently against the fruit interests. Michael Jungles came down from his farm near Knlman this morning with a four-team wagon load of potatoes. Mike raises some of the finest tubers in this part of the state and generally holds until spring and gets the top price. Now he is selling for 60 cents, which is as good, Mike thinks, as they are apt to get. Bert Hammond arrived here last evening from Indianapolis, to which city he had come from Coats, Kans., on business. He is a son of Fred Hammond, who was a Jasper county citizen many years ago, and he stopped off here for a few toys’ visit with his uncles, Stewart Hammond ancT Walter Porter, and other relatives. He is a real estate man. Joseph Smith, a miner, age sixtyseven, was found by his wife Saturday hanging by a broken neck to a limb near the tent In a grove in the vicinity of No. S 3 mine, near Hymera, been their home for several weeks. Despondency is given as the probable cause. Coroner Padgett returned a verdict of suicide. Smith left a note saying, "Let Dr. Coulaon have my body.** He left three grdwn children by his first wife living in Illinois. —— W. 8. Richards, painter and paperhanger, phone SSL Hi;'

School Books Will Cost More— Larger Sale Commission.

New geographies and histories for the public schools of Indiana will cost more than the ones now in use. Eleven publishing companies submitted .bids to the state board of education Thursday ranging from 75 cents to 91.05 for geographies and from 65 cents to 75 cents for histories. The board set May 15 as the date for awarding the contracts and the bidders were asked to submit briefs outlining the merits of their books. The increased prices are explained by, the law, which requires school book publishers to pay dealers a commission of 15 per cent. Only a 5 per cent commission was required when the contracts were awarded for the Frye geography and Montgomery histories, which have been in use for many years.

FOUNTAIN PARK MEETING FOR 1911 AUGUST 12-27.

Judge Ben B. Lindsay and Carrie Nation Are to Be Headliners at Sunder Chautauqua Meeting. ' William I. McCullough, president of the Fountain Park Association, came over Monday from his home south of Remington and paid The Republican office a friedly call. Himself and assistants, including VicePresident Walter L. Gumm, Secretary Charles H. Peck and Treasurer J. A Washburn, are busy preparing the program and making the arrangements for the summer meeting, which will be held from August 12th to 27th: Mr. McCullough is much qlated over the success in securing some of the most talked of people in the United States for this year’s assembly. The most prominent of the speakers will be Judge Ben B. Lindsay, of Denver, whose articles about “The Beast and the Jungle,” an expose of political graft in that city and state, have attracted world-wide attention. Judge Lindsay is greatly ,in demand and it costs a lot of money to get him but the officers are willing to pay a big price because they know that the people are appreciative and come out to hear the best. He also reports that Mrs. Carrie Nation, the Kansas woman who started out to break up the liquor business with a hatchet some pears ago, is to be one of-the big attractions. She will be there the last Sunday. Other prominent speakers will be there and the musical attractions are to be the best ever engaged for Fountain Park, which is saying a great deal, in view of the splendid attractions of past years. The talent will cost $2,000 this year but the managers believe the money they are contracting to spend will be justified by this year’s attendance. The interest in Fountain Park is increasing, both at home and abroad, and the demand for cottages likewise increases. It is hoped to make the attendance this year the greatest the assembly has ever had.

Dr. John D. Ellis Given Chance in Cincinnati Hospital.

John D. Ellis, toon of James H. S. Ellis, of this city, and a graduate of Rush Medical college, in Chicago, has been recognized in a very complimentary way by the faculty of the college. He was one of four Rush Medical graduates sent to Cincinnati to com - pete with graduates from other medical colleges for two interne vacancies in the Cincinnati city hospital, which is recognized as one of the leading municipal hospitals in the United States. The Cincinnati Times-Star considered the recognition accorded the hospital by Rush Medical College a distinct compliment and after comparing the hospital with the Cook county hospital and telling how the examination was conducted, the following interview with Dr. Ellis is published: “I believe the Cincinnati city hospital, with its extension plans, offers an unequaled opportunity for study and research," said Dr. John D. Ellis, one of the bandidates, Tuesday. "Since the new contagious department has been completed and equipped, and the news of the extension plans of Cincinnati’s Department of Safety have been communicated to the medical world, grater interest has been aroused in Cincinnati’s hospital system than in Chicago’s. I, for one, preferred opportunities for medical study here as compared with that in the Cook County hospital in Chicago, long regarded as one of the world’s great hospitals. From what we have seen of the city hospital here we believe it is the superior of any similar municipal institution in the United States.”

Olson and Mysterious Waffles To Wrestle Saturday Night.

Rensselaer is to have another wrestling match next Saturday night and it loks like the best card ever pu* on here. The principals are Charles Olsen, of Indianapolis, who had no difficulty in disposing of Sam Murbarger recentfy, and who is recognized as the light heavyweight champion of the United States, and “Mysterious Waffles,” a Turk wrestler of national fame. Olson’s mastery of wrestling is unquestioned and his exhibition here with Murbgrger met with such favor with those who witnessed it that Manager Ellis was asked by many to put on another match with an opponent for Olson that would put up a more even contest. Olson agreed to return to meet any wrestler in his class and “Mysterious Waffles was procured. He weighs 196 pounds as against 185, Olson’s weight. The match will take place next Saturday night. May 6th, and will be the beßt two out of three falls. >

A preliminary has been arranged between Harvey Myres, the Jasper county champion, and Freddy Beeli, of Logansport. Beell weights only about 140 pounds and was no match for Polos in a contest held at Remington. He is, nevertheless, a very clever man for his weight, and Myres will doubtless have some trouble to handle him, owing to his lack of experience. • * »

Good Draft Stallion Died Monday After Brief Sickness.

Maringo, an imported draft stallion belonging to D. S. Makeever, diedTdonday evening after a very brief sickness. He was not known to be sick until that morning and a veterinary was called. He found that the horse’s digestive organs were not working right and that he was clogged up. Relief proved impossible. Maringo was brought to this county a number of years ago and was known as the Leek & Lane horse. He sired a number of the best colts in the county and proved a valuable animal, not only for his owners but for the county as well. Mr. Makeever had owned him for four or five years and continued to stand him up to the time of his death. The animal was about 16 years of age. Want to rent your property? Use our classified column.
