Miss Julia Leopold saw a robin in the yard at the home of her parents on Front street one day this week. Evidently the little feathered thing had been deceived by some southern weather prophet There is nothing in sight to justify a suggestion that a lone and deluded robin is a certainharbinger of spring. A little suggestion might not come anfiss in this connection. When the ground is covered with snow there is great hunger suffering among birds and it would be an act of great kindness If crumbs and small grain were scattered te the yard. __ .

RENSSELAER. INDIANA, THURSDAY. JANUARY 11, 1912.

COUNCIL DID NOT BLOCK MATCH FACTORY PROGRESS.

Contract For Water Drews Up at Suggestion of Factory Promoters ■ But Not Signed by Them. The impression has gone abroad that the city council on advice of City Attorney Leopold was'blocking the match factory progress by refusing to extend the city water mains to the factory. This is not the case, howcver, as explained by Mr, Leopold. Messrs. Sterling and Longachre met with the council several times and the water proposition was discussed. At first the factory people propose 1 giving a bond to indemnify the city against loss in extending its watermains, but later that they found it impossible to supply a bond of this character and that another means would have to be adopted. Mr. Longachre met with the council a”d hiffiself proposed that the following plan be adopted: The factory peopi* to put in the water mains and bardie all rents derived ,by the extension to the factory addition. These rents -and the water Bent for the factory to be charged against the company and retained by them as a reimbursement for the construction expense on the mains. The company was to sell the main at cost to Rensselaer, at any time the city wished to buy, charging 6 per cent interest on their investment. \

Based upon this proposition, Attorney Leopold was instructed to prepare a contraet and the Mayor was authorized to sign it. The contract was prepared and a copy given to Mr. Longachre, who- pronounced it entirely satisfactory. He asked that he might Make it to his attorney-for' his approval and said that if found all right would be signed and returned. That was almost three months ago and since then nothing has been heard by the council from the company on the subject and the contract was never returned. The council has done nothing to stand in the way of the factory completion and deserve credit for having properly safeguarded the interests of the city.

Mr. Longachre, who was expected here Monday to take active control of the situation, was prevented from coining by the ser'bnp sickttesS of his father. He will probably come before long and the adjustment of the water matter will be ‘feasy if the factory is completed according to the contract the promoters have with the commercial club.

DAY MAY BE A BANDIT; WANTED IN ILLINOIS.

Mun Who Shot Harry Arrlek May Have Bern Implicated In Murder In Illinois. Lji i Monticello Herald. Harry Arrick, who was at first thought to be mortally wounded by Oren Day, has continued to improve and it is now practically certain ihat he will recover. He was removed Jrom Dr. Goodwin's office Tuesday to fair home in East Monticello. Beiderwolf's ambulance was used and the transfer was quickly and safely made. Oren Day, his assailant, is still at large. Sheriff PMce and Marshal Dobbins made a fruitless trip in search of him last week. They went to Hammond, Black Oak, Hobart, Liverpool, Gary and South Chicago, at all of which places he had been reported, but at none of which he was found He had stayed all night at Black Oak, not far from Hammond, the night before the officers got there. He was traced thence to Gary, where all trace of him was lost. It now appears that Day is suspected as a member of a gang of 'three bandit brothers wanted in Illinois for the murder of a man named Mel Bradrick at Crescent City. The Watseka Times-Democrat of Tuesday says that three men named Day are now suspected who were residents of Iroquois county living between Onarga- and .Thawville but who disappeared at the time of the Bradrick murder. One of them named James Day is now held at Marinette, Wis., pending extradition to Illinois, and another is thought to be in that state. From the accounts of the Monticello shooting affray the officers out there are convinced that Oren Day is the third member of the gang. A brother of the murdered man has had a Pinkerton detective at work on the case and it was through him that the Wisconsin arrest Was made. The Watseka paper says that the officers here report that Oren Day -had ond 32-caliber and two 44-caliber reand that th</ shooting was done with the smaller gun.

COLLEGEVILLE.

On the resuming of classes at the beginning of last week, several of the did students were not found at their places, but a few new arriritls have taken their desks thus lading the enrollment the same as last session. Rev. Maurice Ehleringer, C. PP. 8., has been appointed a member of the college faculty. He was a graduate of .St. Joseph’s in the class 1906 When he received his A. B. with honors. He will be well remembered as one of the most effective actors of his day, having taken a prominent part in many a college play. His teaching work will be in the Latin, French and elocution departments. At the-mass meeting last Sunday the following were elected officers of the Athletic Association for the present term: Nicholas Heummer,-president; Anthony Lenehan, secretary; William Butler, treasurer. The retiring president, Walter Reineck, in ah interesting speech briefly reviewed the many successes of the last season, pointed put the splendid financial condition of the organization, and urged the members willingly to co-operate with his, successor as they had been loyal to him ih. his endeavors to advance college athletics. Father Kramer expressed his thanks to the students for the highly appreciated gift that the students gave him for Christmas. He also spoke words of praise for the faithful work done by the members of the Athletic Association, especially the loyalty that has been shown to the Varsity teams; expressed his entire satisfaction with the endeavors of the representative teams, and concluded by asking ail to continue in the same wholesome spirit of loyalty and progress to, the end of the year. Great enthusiasm prevailed; and there is no doubt that the brighter prospects will make the ensuing term a greater success than the one just closed.

Sunday afternoon a number of boys from Rensselaer essayed to tackle the varsity, and the best that they accomplished was to give, the collegians a little practice, taking out the vacation kinks, for the Monticello game. The score of 58-8 sent the visitors home much wiser for their escapade. Tuesday eyening the Varsity entertained the Monticello Company C, 3rd Inst., I. N. G. at basket ball on the gymnasium floor. It was anybody’s game until the very finish, in fact it was the visitor's game, except dpring the first and the last few minutes of play. The game started with a wild rash, and it required five minutes of play till Beckman gathered in a foul and McArdle captured a field goal. Then Monticello began to score and forged ahead, Slynker getting ton points and Robinson two with the varsity trailing in the rear six points at the end of the first half.

In the second period the game continued an even tussle till near the end when three field goals in quick succession by Beckman, Deery and McArdle, the last passing the net as the time keeper’s whistle blew, gave the Collegians a well-deserved voctory, the same it would have been with Monticello, for they amply deserved to win, but the spirit and energy that the locals displayed in the final touch rushed them for a moment off their guard, and there was no time left to come back after the lost garner We are glad to have had Company C with us, and the varsity plays a return game with them Feb. 16. Friday evening the team journeys to Monticello to capture laurels, at least try, from the Monticello high school.
