TOWNSHIP ENTITLED TO SALOON, HOLDS JUDGE.

Lincoln Township, With Less Than a Thousand Population, Can Have One—FogU Gets License. Judge Hanley, presiding in the Newton circuit court, has rendered a decision that will have state wide importance, for it grants to a township with a less population than 1,000 a saloon license, after the county commissioners had placed tbe limit of one saloon to 1,000 people. The county commissioners of Newton county ruled against the applicants from Lincoln township,. three in number, and they appealed to the circuit court. The appeal of Ben Fogli, who prior to the time Newton county went “dry” conducted, a saloon at his resort on the river near the Monon railroad dridge, was.the first reached and Judge Hanley after hearing the arguments of the interested parties, took the matter under advisement until Thursday, when he decided in Fogli’s favor. The court held that the law plainly established one saloon in a township voting “wet” and having a population of more than 500. The fact that a “further” limitation of one saloon to 1,000 people can be established by the county commissioners can not affect the first saloon. The law does not say that the number can be limited to one to one thousand, but that it can be “further” limited after one hajj been established. Fogli will be the only applicant in Lincoln township to get a license, the petitions of Henry Granger and James Gillispie being Defeated by the fact that Fogli’s appeal was tbe first acted upon. The ruling will mean that a license will be granted to George R. Tilton, of Wheatfield, when the Jasper county commissioners convene in June. This will be the first saloon in Jasper county since the county was voted “dry” May Ist, 1909. This is the question at which At-torney-General Honan shied when asked for an opinion. It also settles the claim of one Frank E. Babcock, who was so certain that these townships could not have a saloon that he wanted the commissioners ‘to refuse to grant an election. This individual, who is frequently known to dispense free legal advise, will now take a back seat. This is simply another case in which the Democrat was not “always” right.

Minister Suicides at Home in Medaryville—Ill Health Cause.

Winamac Republican. After spending many restless nights watching over Rev. J. D. Clark, of Medaryville, who has been sick all winter, bis wife and her brother were awakened this morning shortly after two o’clock by a pistol shot and found the aged man lying prostrate with the top of his head blown from the bleeding form. Death came at once, the bullet entering just above the left eye. Many times during a harrowing sickness lasting all winter Rev. Clark had threatened to take his own life. His mind was thought to have been affected by the illness. For some time he had planned to go to the soldiers’, home at Marion and yesterday walked from his humble home a half mile west of Medaryville to the postofflee to see if word had come and had expressed himself as greatly discouraged by not receiving such. About two o’clock in the night he asked to be assisted to a rocking chair saying he was too restless to sleep in bed. The gunsimt followed soon after. The time for the funeral has not been arranged.

Rev. and Mrs. C. W. Postlll returned to Attica yesterday. They were here a few days looking after their farm. Mr. and Mrs. F. Blackledge returned to Chicago this morning. They were here to attend the funeral of Merle Hopkins. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Chadwick returned to Crawfordsville today after a short visit here with Mr. and Mrs. E. Powell. Miss Alice G. Smith, of Chicago, returned to her home this morning after spending a day here with friends. Miss Smith was the harpist who delighted a large audience at the Presbyterian church several months ago, Mrs. E. L. Hollingsworth, being the hostess on that occasion. Miss Alice Shedd returned home this morning. The Otterbein schools closed last week and this week has been devoted to the commencement events. The school year there was very successful and she has been asked by the board to return for next year but has not decided to do so.

MRS. JULIA DAY SUES CEDAR LAKE SALOONKEEPER.

Through Dunlap & Parkinson Action Is Brought for Damages for Bay Day’s Broken Leg. Readers of The Republican will remember that Ray Day, son of Mrs. Julia Day, of this place, came home from Cedar Lake several weeks ago with a broken leg, following a bum to that place, in which several Rensselaer boys participated. They reluctantly told that Ray had been intoxicated and that saloonkeeper who had sold him the liquor had also broken his leg. Mrs. Day has now brought action against the saloonkeeper and his bondsmen, according to the following article from the Crown Point Star: Mrs. Julia Day, of Jasper county, in behalf of her minor son, Ray Day, filed suit in the circuit court on Monday, asking >3,000 damages against John Mitch, a Cedar Lake saloon keeper, and also brings in the bondsmen, Mark Webber and Perkins Turner as parties to the suit. Mrs. Day alleges in her complaint that during the early part of April, this year, that her son Ray, who is a minor, and in company with Walter Wiseman, another boy, went into the saloon of Mitch and that the proprietor sold the boys whiskey until-they both became intoxicated. She further alleges that her son was so intoxicated that he went to sleep in a chair, and while Mitch was attempting to lift him from the seat the boy, being so exhausted from the effects of the liquor, fell and broke his leg. The limb, according to the plaintiff, will always be an inch short during the balance of his life. Dunlap & Parkinson, attorneys at Rensselaer, are appearing for the plaintiff, Mrs. Day.

Exacting Stipulations Condition Of Lake County Parole.

Ephriam Slade and Orrin McColley, who were arrested a few days ago and plead guilty to stealing some oats and corn, and setting hens, after being in jail a few days were taken before Judge McMahan last Friday, and in a measure they were sentenced for life. They were given their freedom, but must report once a week to the court and show how much they have worked, what pay they have received, and what it was paid out for. Besides this, going into a saloon or drinking intoxicants is strictly forbidden, and whenever they break over any of these rules laid down, then they will get a prison sentence. There is no limit to the time the club is held over them, and the court expects to make both of them self-supporting instead of boarding at the expense of the state.

Dan Coleman Takes An Interest In a Newton County Farm.

Dan Coleman, the tile ditcher, who is well known in Rensselaer, and Mrs. Eliza Jenkins, widow of Johnny Jenkins,. the little old Englishman, who prior to his death was a familiar character in Newton and Jasper dounties, were married this Friday forehoon, at the parsonage by Rev. C. L. Harper, pastor of Trinity M. E. church. The groom is 55 years of age and was divorced in 1896, since which time he has been leading a life of single blessedness. The bride is in her fiftieth year and the mother of two children, both of whom accompanied her here to witness the marriage ceremony. Mrs. Jenkins has a farm of 40 acres, and Dan has therefore, not only secured for himself a wife but a good real estate investment as well.

Markers at Soldiers’ Graves Will Be Placed Saturday, May 27.

The local Grand Army Post has procured 100 markers for soldiers’ graves and it is planned to place them on all graves in Weston cemetery in which veterans of the civil war are buried. The day selected for this is Saturday, May 27th, and it is hoped that relatives of soldiers will be at the cemetery that day to make certain that no graves are missed. The markers will be a permanent guide for the future in decorating of graves. Since some soldiers are buried there whose families have either moved away or died, the matter is now partially one of memory and the soldiers have determined on the marker plan so that the work they do can be kept up after they are unable to longer care for it.

The Smuggleman.

“The Smuggleman,” an operetta in two acts will be given by the grade cMfciren of the public schools of the cW, Thursday evening, May 18, at the opera house.

A charge sufficient to cover the necessary expenses will be made. .All seats will be reserved at fifteen cents and will be on sale Wednesday morning, May 17.

J. Frank Warren Defeated For Oklahoma City Mayor.

J. Frank Warren made a fine race for mayor of Oklahoma City and was defeated by only 492 votes. The successful candidate was Whit M. Grant. The Oklahoma Times of May 10th says that the race was free from bitterness and the campaign dignified in every way. As The Republican said following Mr. Warren’s nomination, he will be as good in defeat as in victory, for he represents the highest type of citizenship. It is said that Mr. Warren's successful' opponent was also a highclass man, and it Is hoped that he gives Oklahoma City a good administration. He is a democrat and that party is largely in the predominance in that city and state, but the race that Mr. Warren made cut largely into the majority and he will probably be called upon again for some office.

Card of Thanks.

The undersigned wish to thank the people of Rensselaer for their kindness and sympathy and the more material assistance given them following the death and at the funeral and burial of their beloved son, Merle J. Hopkins. Mr. and Mrs. HOMER HOPKINS. Frank Middlecamp was down from near Virgie today. He thinks wheat is not looking so well now as it did a couple of weeks ago. It seems badly spotted most places.
