City Council Proceedings.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER IS, I*ll.

WEAST NOT ON HAND WHEN TRIAL WAS CALLED.

Poolroom Man Accnsed of Selling Beer Seems to Have Skipped Out —So Word Left Behind. J. J. Wteast, the pool room keener whose joint was raided Sunday noon, is not in Rensselaer and everything points to his having skipped out to avoid prosecution for his alleged blind tiger law violations. When Weast was taken before Squire Irwin following his arrest his bond was fixed at SIOO in each of the three cases and as he was apparently worth more money than that, he was released on his own recognizance, which means that he is personally liable in the sum of the bond. He was last seen at about 9 o’clock Monday morning. His case was set for hearing at 3 o’clock that afternoon, but he was not on hand. Thq Justice, the city marshal, several Witnesses and a number who expected to hear the testimony waited for an hour, but he did not show up and he has not put in an appearance yet this Tuesday afternoon.

By order of Mayor Meyers the poolroom has been closed and the license will be revoked if jt is found that the bottled goods Weast was selling is really beer or contains sufficient alcoholic per cent to make its sale prohibitive or if the other evidence seems conclusive of guilt. The evidence will be turned over to a grand jury and indictments procured that will make Weast liable to prosecution should he be apprehended at any later time. Rev. J. P. Green went to Purdue University Monday to take a couple of bottles of the stuff for analysis. He expected that the analysis would be made that day, but was informed that it would be a couple of days before a report could be made. Charley Saidla, who.has been working in the poolroom for Weast, claims that there is due three weqks’ wages for his services. Other claims are said to be outstanding against him. He has a wife but no children. It the recognizance bond is declared forfeited his poolroom fixtures and stock will be' seized. The 5 barrels of supposed beer continues in storage at the jail and Sheriff Hoover is very ill at ease for fear it will be pronounced a soft drink.

James W. Nelson Taken to Asylum—Old Soldier Unbalanced.

A secret insanity inquest was held one day last week before Squire Irwin to ascertain the mental condition of James W. Nelson, an old soldier. The physicians who made the'examination were E. C. English, M. D. and L M. Washburn. They found him mentally unbalanced and suffering from a peculiar mania, which leads him to write letters to railroad and other officials in which he makes unreasonable requests. He also leaves home and is gone for several days at a time and does not return until his money is exhausted. He also contracts obligations which he does not settle and has an exalted idea of his own importance. He is regarded as dangerous at times. Sheriff Hoover took him to Longcliffe Sunday.

Remingtonians Gave Us a Morning Booster Concert.

Our neighbors at Remington are going to give a horse show and gala event next week, Sept. 20th to 23rd inclusive, and they are employing the same means of adverelsing that the Rensselaer people did. Tuesday morning at about 10:30 o’clock fifteen gaily decorated autos carrying the band and a lot of boosters arrived in town and gave us a good concept. Thaw were .accorded a welcome reception -end .after' a little parade about town they left for Mt. Ayr to continue the booster advertising. They will have a good show with many of the attractions that are in Rensselaer this week.

Weather Man Trying to Aid In Making Horse Show a Success.

Generally fair weather this week the country over was the prediction of the Weather Bureau at Washington Sunday. The weekly forecast says: “In the United States the coming week will be one of generally fair weather and normal temperature over the greater part of the country. The next barometic depressions of importance to cross the United States will appear in the northwest on Wednesday and pass eastward over the middle west about Thursday or Friday. It will be attended by local rains and be followed by a change to cooler weather over the northwest and the central valley.”

NO SHOWS FOR TONIGHT; COULDN’T GET READY.

Chitk Meek’s Aggregation All Here, But Tents, Etc., Could Not Be Erected for Tonight. The New Exposition Shows, under the management of “Chuck” Meek, are all here. They will be ready for business tomorrow, but did not arrive in time for a show tonight, as had been advertised. The free attractions look good and some of the shows that will be here are said to have been among the best seen at Riverside Park, Chicago, the past season. A twelve-piece Italian band forms part of the aggregation. ,The merry-go-round will be on the brick street, east of the court house. It will be the best one ever seen in Rensselaer. The other attractions will, be conveniently arranged about the streets, with some of the shows on the corner leased by J. H. S. Ellis, just west of The Republican office.

Robert Anderson Fell Into Hands of Hammond Police.

The appended article is from the Hammond Times of Monday. Anderson and his brother Jim and the latter’s wife and their father all engaged in some rough house performance Saturday night and each appealed to the officers to have the others arrested. They are all alleged to have become intoxicated on Weast’s unlabeled “Jingo.” Anderson has been in trouble for drinking several times, but no more serious charge was ever filed against him here. The Times prints: ~ Robert Anderson was arrested by Officers Bunde and Einsele on State street for drunkenness and on suspicion yesterday afternoon. Anderson gave his home as Rensselaer and said*he left there yesterday morning with two other men who were also arrested on suspicion of held up a conductor on the Gary ahd Interurban between Hammond and Gary. The police undent stand he is wanted at Rensselaer for highway robbery. WJhen Officer Burge saw him he thought he recognized him as being a partner of the man he shot in the leg about four months ago. He only had 85 cents when he was arrested, and upon searching his clothes a brick was found in his pocket. If nothing is found in his past history he will be released with his partners.
