Maxwell and to his farming of the large farm owned by his brother. Elmer C. Williams, construction commissioner of the Monon, or Ketbids for the construction of the same.

Speaking of latter-day facilities for transportation, Mr. Guild remarked that his grandfather used to haul grain to Michigan City and drive hogs through to Chicago.

Got a Trouncing at Delphi; Locals Ran Into Big Snag.

1? The Rensselaer high school basketball team came home quite crestfallen thin morning. They had met Delphi high School in a basketball gamd and received a powerful and unexpected beating, . the score being 36 to 18 in favor of the “tall sycamores of the Wabash.’’ locals were handicapped by the absence of Adams, who has a choice collection of boils that make basketball Intolerable. His (dace was taken first by Tom Padgitt and later by Simon Thompson, both of whom put up a game scrap but the team work which had been built up With the original quintette was impossible and the contest was not what the team at Its best is capable of. Delphi played a fast game and really Delphi is the besfall-round basketball team that Rensselaer has been up 4 against this The next game willjbe with Monticello at the armory in Rensselaer, Friday evening, Feb. 9th. Charles Mitchell and Joseph Fultz, found guilty of murder in the first degree for the killing of James Mitchell, an aged .farmer, on the night of Nov. 4, last, have been sentenced to life imprisonment by Judgp Shea of the Lawrence cotfnty circuit court. Oliver Younger, jonitly indicted with the sentenced men, turned state’s evidence and was given a sentence of two to twenty-one years. The motive of the murder was robbery.

Monticello Evangelist Has Adopted Phraesology Professionaly Popular.

-Rev. W. EL Biederwolf, noted evangelist, of Monticello, made an effective appeal in the “Men and Religious Forward Movement” in Indianapolis Sunday. A few of his telling points which have received wide newspaper circulation are: “The infidel should hang erepe on his ears, for his brains are already dead. * , “A real man is that individual whd* recognizes that he is the handiwork of God, and who tries to honor God in every department of his being—ln Ms mind, in his body, in his soul. “God made man in the beginning. The coin was stamped all right, but it has been so mutilated, that it will scarcely pass for full value. “You trifle with sin and it will get the better .of you every time. “Merely to have muscle does not make manhood. There is much muscle in the hind leg of a mule.’’
