DEFENSE CLOSED IT'S CASE TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

State In Poole Trial Begins Rebuttal and Attorney Hall Says Case May Continue a Week. The Poole trial evidence was not very sensational Tuesday. Poole’s attorney, Elmore Barce, rested his case after the state had finished the crossexamination of Dr. C. C. Driscol. The state then took up the matter of rebuttal Of the insane evidence and several testified that they regarded Poole of sound mind. . _ i... Apparently the only insanity that Poole possesses is devoted to some effort to defraud or do injury to those with whom he has business and in most respects he seems possessed of entirely too much cunning to be called insane. If a foul murder can be committed and the guilty escape on a plea of insanity based on a life replete with Immoral and dishonest deeds and a vicious temper, then there would be small chance to convict anjperson of any crime. Prosecuting Attorney Grant Hall stated Tuesday that the rebuttal evidence might take several days, pos’sibly ten or twelve. ...7’.- ; J**-"*'"",■ Mrs. Virginia Halstead, mother of the Halstead boys, of Newton, township, left this morning for Redlands, Gal., to remain during the winter.

B. Forsythe returned this morning from Winamac where he had been to see if could not be made to reopen his store there, but was informed that the condition of the proceedings in bankruptcy of the men who started to purchase the stock were such that the store could not be reopened at this time.

The "Warner Stock Co.” presented “Chums,” last night before a fair sized house. It was a Quaker comedy, with a very pretty love story, and all the parts were ably handled. Mr. Warner sang, but we want more of his kind if sieging. This is one of the ■_best stock companies we have seen and is so well balanced that they are deserving of special mention.

Frank Lakin’s sale in Union township yesterday was a very goon one. Horse prices were strong. One mare brought >175 and a team brought $3Bl. Farming Implements also brought a good price. Cows went a little weak,. however, and it is plain that the high cost of hay and feed has bluffed the dairymen notwithstanding the high selling price of butterfat. - • . .

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brown and baby returned last night from Lisbon, N. Dak., and left this morning for Wheatfield, where they will remain during the winter. Next spring he will remove to Mrs. Loughridge’s farm, north of Rensselaer, where thev lived before they went to North Dakota.

Cupid Makes Hit With Well Known Wheatfield Ball Player.

In baseball there is no more wicked thing for a pitcher to do than to “lay down” and let the other fellows hit the ball. Lou Jensen, the Wheatfield pitcher, was never that sort of a fellow. He was always a hard worker in every department of thh game. In love affairs, however, it is different and when Dan Cupid comes to bat no criticism is made if the pitcher in the battle of love stays his speed and forgets his curves, for a little while. That is all Dan wants, just a fair phance, and Jie . will get any ball player just the same as any other ordinary man. He made a hit with Lou and having a diamond handy Lou presented it to the young lady of his choice and thus exchanged a hit L r Cupid for a home run for himself. , The game will be completed in Rensselaer this Wednesday evening at the home of the groom’s brother, Tom Jensen. Rev. C. L. Harper, of Trinity M. E. churcjr will be the umpire and there will be no kicking on his decisions. The game will be in the presence of a few relatives only, no paid admissions and no complimentaries, even the press being excluded. Miss Mary Clager, of Wheatfield, is the choice of the well known ball player for a life companion. The score sheet will be published in the course of a few years.

None better and few as good as the Weber Wagon, sold and warranted by Hamilton & Kellner. Butter wrappers, plain or printed at this office.
