Martindale farm, has out twenty acres of wheat that looks pretty good. He examined it a few days ago and saw no evidences of the fly.

Deceased had spent many winters in Oklahoma with his daughter, Mrs. Samuel W. English and his son, Charles Murray and in company with his wife went there last fall. Mrs. Murray was taken sick soon after their arrival .there and died on Nov. 29th. The body was brought here for burial and Mr. Murray made the trip through with the corpse. He has been in feeble health for several years and the trip, proved too much for his strength and his failing has been constant since that time. He failed rapidly for the past two weeks. Deceased <was one of ten children and was the last of the family to pass away. He was born in Ohio Feb. 4, 1828, and when 8 years of age came to Monon with his parents. His mother was a daughter of Simon Kenton, the noted pioneer and Indian fighter, and the hardly frontier stock was prominent in him. He worked for his cousin, the older Parkison, who was also a grandson of Simon Kenton, and most of his life was spent in Barkley township. He was married in 1854 and five children born to the union survive, namely Harry and Will Murray, and Mrs. Frank Donnelly, of Rensselaer. Mrs. S. W. English, of Canada, and Chas. Murray, of Texas. Charley had been here for about two weeks but had left for his home last Monday. Mrs. English was at the bedside of her father when the final summons came.

Mr. Murray was a soldier in the civil was, having served in the 18th Indiana regiment and his funeral will be attended by many old soldiers. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the Barkley M. E. church and will be conducted by Rev. J. C. Parrett, of the Rensselaer Presbyterian church.

Purtelle Contemplates a Slight Change in Right-of-way South.

Eugene Purtelle and the committee that is working with him started out again Thursday after the right-of-way for the Indiana Northwestern Traction Co., and they found some land owners anxious to give the right-of-way for the road and the contracts are being signed by which the owners agree to deed the land when the road is constructed and in operation/ The building 7 of this road will add 50 per cent to the value of every farm that it passes and no owner could afford to miss the road in order to try to sell the land. Mr.Purtelle states that he has the assurances that the right-of-way can be procured over the old Remington road and there would be considerable advantage in going by the west side of Fountain Park and it is possible that this route may be selected.

Mr. Purtelle states that he will positively begin construction as soon as the right-of-way is secured. Confidence seems to be coming to the public as he progresses and if he can make good he will find the people only too glad to give him help and encouragement. If the straight road south is selected, Mr. Purtelle states that his first will be to erect concrete :abutments and put in a bridge over the Big Slough ditch. He will also start :the grading along the line.

Aviation Meet at Purdue University, Lafayette.

An unusual event has been added to Purdue University’s Gala Week attractions for this year in the form of an aviation exhibition. Co-operating with the Purdue Alumni Association, the Lafayette Journal has contracted with Glenn H. Curtis for exhibitions of his latest flying machines. Mr. Curtis has seven, aviators in the field—J. A. D. McCurdy, Eugene Ely, Lineqln Beachy, J. J. Ward, Hugh Robinsonf C. C. Witmer and R. C. St. Henry. The aviators sent to Lafayette will be selected from these seven, J. A. D. McCurdy to be one of them. The machines will be shipped direct from the . factory at Hammondsport, N. Y. every part in duplicate, and accompanied by three expert mechanics, assuring perfect results from the biplanes. The Aviator, J. A. D. McCurdy, is one of 4he most .experienced birdmen in the field, being one of Glenn H. Curtis’ first pupils, and himself a designer and experimenter of national reputation. His most noteworthy contribution to the science of aviation was his feat of successfully receiving and sending wireless telegrams while operating his biplane above the clouds. McCurdy’s latest sensation was his daring attempt to fly over the sea from Key West, Florida to Havana, Cuba, flying 96 miles the record for distance above water, and only failing to reach Cuba by ten miles. A break in his engine forced him to light in the sea, from which he was rescued by a U. S. battleship. Lafayette is preparing to entertain one of the largest crowds of many years, when the noted birdmen will soar from Stewart Field oil Tuesday afternoon, June 13th. The stores and business houses are all to close after 3 o’clock to enable everybody to see the first flights of the world famous aviators in Lafayette. Special arrangements are being made by the railroads and interurbans for hand-

ling the visitors. The interurbans will provide extra service, the Monon is to run a special excursion train, starting from Michigan City and returning Tuesday evening, and the Wabash will hold No. 53 westbound, until after the exhibition.

George Gorham's count of autos that went northward on the return trip to Chicago Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday was 255. That was practically all the daylight travel. Probably fifty or seventy-five went through at night.

John C. Martindale continues about the same. He has been unable to leave his bed for three weeks and seems to be just about holding his own and that is all.
