Ready to’ serve—loc a package at the Home Grocery Marshal Mustard yesterday after-' noon killed S. M. Laßue’s dog. It had slipped its muzzle off its nose and was cutting some queer capers in the triangular park on Division street. Apparently it was mad, but it may have been simply having a flit, to which it was subject. Anyway, it has joined the realm of “good” dogs now. Van Sherman, 50 years of age, suicided at .Crown Point Wednesday by drinking white hellabore. He whs engaged in the barber business and had lived at Crown Point about all his life. Shortly before his suicide he attacked his wife and cut her badly about the head. He is thought to have been crazy. F. P. Morton was over from Goodland yesterday, engaged in a land deal He feels like a bird just out of a cage, having been kept at home for five weeks during which time the house was quarantined owing to the fact that his daughter Geraldine, 14 years of age, had the scarlet fever.

The water was cold and the boys were roughly treated and one of them almost died as a result of the exposure. The Lowell papers do not say what effort Frank and his companion made to drive off the rowdies, but apparently they were not at the camp when the attack was made or there would have been something doing.

Slight Difficulty on Purtelle Route May be Adjusted Amicably.

Under the direction of Eugene Pur* telle’s engineer, E. A. Slibeck, workmen spent a part of Wednesday cutting down trees on the east- side of the road in front of St Joseph’s college. Consent to do this had never been given in writing, although Purteile claims to have understood that verbal consent was procured from Father Andrew Geitl. When Father August Seifert, rector of the college, went to remonstrate with the engineer the latter is said to have antagonized him unnecessarily and Attorney Honan was Called to the scene. He was armed with a warrant for the arrest of the engineer and his workmen, the chaigc being trespass. Mr. Purteile arrived on the scene and explained that he thought he was given a right to go through that part of the property. Attorney Honan showed a disposition to act as peacemaker and the work was suspended there for the time, but it is probable that arrangements can be made amicably to permit the progress of the work. It is understood that the college heartily approves the building of the road but that those in control have not much confidence in the way Purteile has proceeded. Workmen this Thursday morning were felling trees further south, while the most of the gang were working on the construction of the cofferdam for the. Big Slough bridge.

Former Rensselaer Man Took Part in “Exile” Events.

Of Will Paxton, a former Rensselaer boy, now a prominent lumber dealer in Hammond, the Lake County Times has the following to say: “You would not think that a dignified man of affairs like W. G. Paxton would get out and romp around like a boy, but that Is Just the effect that the Indiana society has on its members. - “Paxton was doing things from the time the outing started until it finished. x He drove a team of mules in the classic chariot races and had the people of Hammond been able to see Paxton in his Ben Hur outfit they would have stood aghast. “Paxton drove a great race, but was not able to win the contest. He got in the money, however, and won second place. He also entered in a number of other contests and acquitted himself creditably. . “In the obstruction race in which he was compelled to climb over one fence, under another, crawl through a barrel, drink a glass of buttermilk, eat a pile of crackers and then sing ‘Yankee Doodle,’ Paxton won the race bands down.

“A. M. Turner expects to enter Paxton in a number of contests from now on, and says that he has a man who is not only willing, but is capable ant trustworthy, and is very docile to his trainers. “Going down on the train E. F. Johnston won a fine rubber coat. Dr. H. E. Sarrer, who usually gets inside the money in anything which he enters, won a book in the grand free drawings. “When Paxton won his chariot race he proved to be such a good mule driver that he was lifted on the shoulders of the admiring throng and carried about the grounds. He was also presented with a fine loving cup.”

Hydrophobia Victims May Now Be Treated Free in Indiana.

The state board of health hereafter will be able to pay for the Pasteur treatment to persons bitten by rabid dogs out of the “hydrophobia” fund created by the last legislature. The fund Wednesday passed the |2,000 mark, as required by law before any part of it would be available. The receipt of 9521 from Albert Sahm, auditor of Marion county, for that county’s portion of the fund, brought the total amount up to about $2,100. The board has been forced to deny treatment under the law, as the fund had not reached the required amount The money is paid to the auditor of state from the surplus dog tax fund from each township in the state.

Grand Jury Has Began an Investigation of Larsen's Death.

The same grand jury that indicted John W. Poole for the death of Joseph Kemper was recalled at Fowler Tuesday and began an investigation of Peter Larsen’s death. The investigation may last for several days. Owing to the fact that the officers were very lax following the discovery of the body of Larsen in the cistern, much, of the evidence that might have beau procured is now missing. The blood stains on the barn door are no lonzer there and the stains on tike'at are gone. The ax itself was found- and is now in the possession of the officers. Some damaging circumstantial evidence has been coming in against Mrs. Larsen. He had planned for a divorce and she wanted more property than she would get if he succeeded in get* king the divorce. She is said to have gone .finder an assumed name when she came to Fowler to nurse Mrs. id* fred Larsen, and the latter’s son State* that she threw the medicine away that was to have been given to his mother. It la also claimed that Mrs. Larsen has been married four times and that each husband died suddenly. Although Mm. Larsen went by the name of Metta Freak, her right name is said to have been Fredericks. Prosecutor John Hall, of Williamsport, now refUse* that she should»4uive been placed under arrest immediately after the discovery of the body and that the investigation should have started at once.
