Put Girl Off at Wrong Town; Must Pay Her $400 For Walking.

A Benton county jury has given Miss Julia Mitchell, a 14-year-old girl, of Earl Park, a verdict of S4OO against the C. & E. I. Railroad Company, for putting her off a train by mistake at Strne Bluff instead of Coal Bluff, 35 nrnw further down the road. The girl had started to visit her sister at Coal Bluff one day last July. Her father took her to Lochiel, bought her a ticket and put her on the train in the conductor's care. The brakeman was new on the run and when the train reached Stone Bluff he told her that was her station and she got off there. After the train bad pulled out she learned her mistake. It was Saturday afternoon, and there were no more trains till Monday. Alone among strangers and not realizing howfar 35 miles was, she struck out on foot d6wn the track, carrying her suit case. Darkness came on and when she could no longer see she lay down and slept until morning, when she resumed her journey. She passed through Kingman Sunday, and to some one who questioned her told the story. She went on but later some one telephoned to Coal Bluff and an automobile was sent after her: It missed hei and she made the whole journey on foot, traveling the 35 mites in less than 24 hours. Her shoes were worn to shreds and she Was on the poinl of a nervous collapse. The girl deserves a medal for her hardihood in addition to the S4OO.

Program For Monnett Home Entertainment Tonight

Heze Clark Puts Hemphill on All-State High School Team.

Heze Clark, who coached the Rose Poly team this year, has selected the first, second and third all-state teams from the players on various high school teams over the state. Rensselaer is honored by having Captain Hemphill, of the looM high school team, chosen for the position of right end on the first team, while Hamilton is chosen for right guard of the second team.

Parks and Porter, who were probably the stars of the local team, are not even given honorable mention. This Is not at all discreditable to them, however, for Heze Clark probably did not witness a single game played by school teams in the state, and his team selection is largely guesswork. He does not give Hammond, Kentland or Sheridtto- any representation on any team, so it is difficult for Rensselaer to make any comparison. With the exception of Hemphill, the balance of the first team is made up from schools not.far from Indianapolis. « Crumpacker, of Hammond, is not mentioned by Clark, but he was beyond doubt the best half back that visited Rensselaer this year. Ade, ot Kentland, was albo one of the best players encountered by this team. The selection of Captain Hemphill for all-state right end was all right. While he played a considerable time behind the line and made good there, he really showed up to greatest advantage at end, and it was very rare that a gain of consequence was made around bis end. Hamilton also played a good game at both end and guard, probably better at end. Berns, of Linton, was selected to defeat Hamilton for first team position.

COOVERT BONDSMEN ARE BY JUDY JUDGMENT.

Former Treasurer of Newton County Will Receive Balance After His Bondsmen Are Reimbursed.

Kentland Enterprise. By the settlement of a judgment against John F. Judy, the bondsmen of Frank M. Coovert, former treasurer of Newton county, have been enabled to reimburse themselves for the money advanced to the county at the time the latter retired from office, and at the same time save from the wreckagea neat little balance of $618.82 for Mr. Coovert The reverses of Mr. Coovert while he was serving as treasurer of Nowton county is still fresh in the minds of all. Mr. Coovert had about $14,000 on deposit in the Gilman Bank at Goodland when that institution closed its doors. He also had around $3,000 in the Bank of Roselawn when it failed. Both failures occurred shortly before Mr. Coovert retired as treasurer. But he faced his misfortunes like a man and the day he retired from office the county was paid every cent due it. To meet this settlement Mr. Coovert, and also his honorable wife, sacrificed their property, and the bondsmen were obligen to advance but $6,000. This Mr. Coovert secured as well as he could, and it has taken nearly eight years to untangle the affairs.

A part of the loss in the Gilman Bank was recovered when the. affairs of that institution were settled, and suit was entered against John F. Judy to recover the loss sustained in the failure of the Roselawn Bank. Mr. Judy was a partner In the bank at the time the money was deposited, but withdrew from the bank before-its failure. The case was fought through the local and Supreme court, Mr. Coovert winning in both. Monday Mr. Judy “did more than he agreed” and paid the judgment, which permitted foil settlement with the bondsmen and leaving the balance above noted. By reason of, the honorable course pursued, Mr. Cooven has more friends in Newton county today than ever before, and they are pleased that a small surplus at least was saved to himself and good wife. Mr. and Mrs. Coovert now reside at Talala, Oklahoma.

Leonard, the 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Swartzell, had his right foot quite badly crushed in his father's hay press last Saturday morning. He was standing on the press and driving the horses and slipped in some manner, the right foot entering the part of the press where the hay is baled. It was badly mashed, the fiooh and skin being broken at the bottom. Dr. English was called and gave it immediate attention, but the foot had already swollen so badly that it was impossible to ascertain beyond a doubt that no bones were broken but it is believed that they were not He passed a very good night Sunday night but will probably be laid up for some time.
