Stranger Taken Sick Here Returned to Indianapolis.

Michael Schwartz, t£e Jewish stranger who was found sick Tuesday afternooh in front of Leek’s hitch barn, was sent to Indianapolis Tuesday night in care of Constable W. S. Parks. Drs. E. N. Loy and A. ler attended him and it required two hypodermic injections to relieve him even a little from the intense pain he seemed to be in. Schwartz talked freely, sent for some local Jews and explained to them that he was without money. He was well dressed and apparently well educated. He did not talk broken, although he said he had been in the United States only 5 years. He said he was a tailor by trade and had come here looking for work. Examination showed that he had been operated on for appendicitis, obstruction of the bowel and stra'ngulited hernia and he claimed that he had been twice operated on for the last trouble, having undergone operations four times, twice in Chicago and twice in Indianapolis, strangulated hernia was his trouble at this time. He said that he was stricken suddenly and prior to that time had been feeling very weft. Officer Parks went as far as Lafayette with him only, there placing him in car* of the interurban conductor. He said that he would enter a hospital and again be operated on. He stated that he lived with his moth er and sister. Apparently he was about 30 years of age.

Rensselaer Lad in U. S. Navy Must Undergo Surgical Operation.

Emerson Coen, who next August will complete a four years’ enlistment in the U. S. navy, and who will be remembered as one of the best football players on local teams prior to his enlistment, Is now a patient in the navy hospital at Brooklyn, N. Y., where he will have to undergo an operation because of an Injury received. in a football game more than a year ago. He suffered a sprained neck, severely tearing the ligaments. Recently hfs neck began to cause him pain and to draw his head to one side. Examination by a surgeon in the navy showed that the ligaments, which had been torn, were growing together and that an operation would be necessary to restore them to their normal condition. The operation is not regarded as an especially serious one but his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Coen, of Rensselaer, are anxiously awaiting information concerning the outcome. Emerson has paid dearly for his football playing, having suffered a broken hand, a broken collarbone and this injury to his neck.

Marble Ditch Brief Will Soon be Filed in Supreme Court.

Crown ’Point Star. Attorney Otto J. Bruce is preparing a brief in the supreme court of Indiana as the initial step of the fight of Lake and Porter county land owners against the construction of the Marble ditch in Jasper county circuit court. The djrain as ordered will be one of the largest in Indiana and is designed to reclaim all of the lands lying south of the river in Jasper county. John Brown, W. B. Brown and Wm. E. Pinney, of Valparaiso, three of the largest land owners on this side of the river, are bringing the appeal before the supreme court. AU of the land north of the Kankakee river in Lake and Porter counties within a distance of two miles has been assessed to drain the marsh over in Jasper county and these land owners feel that it Is a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul, especially after the great marsh on this side has been drained at the expense of the north side farm owners, and they have reasons to have a “grouch” when asked to assist the neighbors on the other side. To show the magnitude of the proposed work the cubic yardage to be excavated in the main ditch is 4,904,286 with h number of laterals not figured in, and the engineer’s estimate on the cost is placed at $328,391, with a great amount of the cost piled upon the land owners of Lake and Porter counties, who hare long since reclaimed this side of tiie river.
