Passenger train N®. 36, which goes through Rensselaer at 5:30 this morning and does not stop here, was derailed at Hammond this morning. No extensive damage resulted so far as could be learned and trains were not greatly delayed as a result. I Wallace Murray is in a, very serious condition at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frank Donnelly. He had a bad spell Tuesday and for a time it was thought he would die. Today his condition is not improved and it is expected that he can not last long. Among Rensselaer people to see the races at Indianapolis were Delos Thompson, Frank Leek, J. P. Hammond and son Herbert, Harry Parker, N. C. Shafer, Paul and Van Wood, Harve Moore, Brit Marion, Scott Chesnut, Jim Rhoades and John Braddock. Mrs. Jdfen W. Paxton returned to South Bend this morning after a short visit here with her sister, Mrs. Kate R, Watson. Mrs. A. E. Baerh was also visiting here from Delphi, and this morning Miss Katherine Baech came for a short visit. Dave Overton returned a few days ago from a prospecting trip to Kansas City and Omaha. He has railroaded considerably in the west but there is stagnation in railroad business now and no certainty when things will get better. Dave found nothing doing and returned home. Robert Medworth had the middle finger on his left hand taken off at the joint Wednesday afternoon in rather an unusual way. He was leading a jack behind his rig, and the animal gave a lunge. In Borne way the rope caught his finger and shaved it off as clean as a knife cut.—Brook Reporter. " Joe Hardman has been having some severe trouble with his right toe, which has been badly swollen. For a week he was unable to get down to the store. He is sure it is not gout and he has just about decided to call it plain rheumatism. By using an old shoe with a hole cut in it over the affected member he is now able to be up town again.' The only trouble with wearing a shoe with a hole in is the fact that a fellow can’t wear holey socks. The Brook Reporter Says that Prosecutor Longwell had a big racket with Herman Rogers and Hume Sammons, the attorneys who defended Hank Granger. Just what the dialogue was that took place at the trial the Reporter does not say, but it indicates that some of the evidence for the defense was not entitled to very much consideration. The paper says that Prosecutor Longwell was so mad yet when he reached Brook that he had to pack a chunk of Ice around, with him to keep his temper down.
