GOVERNOR APPOINTS .A SPECIAL TRIAL JUDGE.

John W. Hasan, of LaGrange, Wfll Try Iroquois Ditch Caase Which Berry Started. Governor Marshall, in response to a request from Judge Hanley, has selected as special judge to try the Borntrager ditch case, which was started at the last term of court by B. B. Berry, of Fowler, who later resigned because he could not afford to leave his practice for the length of time the hearing would require. Governor Marshall appointed John W. Hanah, of LaGrange. Mr. Hanan Is the junior member of the well known law firm of Eubank and Hanan. He is said to be a capable lawyer, certain to properly conduct the important hearing. Tbb Borntrager ditch petition called for the deepening and straightening of the channel of the Iroquois river from the southern terminal of the former ditch, a mile and a half below Rensselaer, To accomplish this end the commissioners have assessed much of the land assessed for the work already completed. To this many of the land owners have made objection by way of remonstrance. The trial will be largely based upon the remonstrance hearing as the feasibility of the project from the standpoint of costs and benefits had already been 'passed upon and the ditch established. Practically every lawyer in the’ city will be on the side of the remonstrators, while Attorney George A. Williams will single handed present the case for the petitioners. It is jprobable that Judge Hanan will come here shortly and open the trial and then adjourn to take the case up at an adjourned session of the court to be held probably during the summer months. It will probably take several weekß to try It.

Drank Bottle of Peruna and Was Sent to Insane Asylum.

Sheriff Hoover this Wednesday morning took William Llewellyn to Remington, where he turned him over to the sheriff of Newton county and the latter took him to the asylum at Longojiffe. Llewellyn is a character well known in Rensselaer, Remington and Brook. He is a shoe maker and a first-class mechanic but has for many years been a slave to the liquor habit. He has gone down to the ditch after making many struggles to reform and now he is almost a total physical wreck. His mind, however, seems sound except when he is full of booze or some other substitute and at the time he was adjudged insane he is said to have been suffering from the effects of having drank a bottle of Peruna. Bill had heard that Peruna had alcohol in it and is said to have purchased a bottle and disposed of it alt at one time. The effect was Just what Bill expected and before he had recovered frbm the influence of the dose a sanity inquest had beeaeonducted and he had been declared insane. He will probably not have to long remain in the asylum as he is perfectly sane, so Sheriff Hoover contends, and he had him as a jail guest for a week.

Remonstrators Defeated in the Irwin Stone Road Case.

The S. C. Irwin et al, stone road petition, which secured favorable action in the commissioners’ court and which the remonstrators, Granville Moody, A. O. Moore, William Snedeker and Tom Walters carried to the circuit court on appeal, has sustained a victory in the circuit court, where the trial came to an abrupfcclose when K was shown that the remonstrance failed to comply with the statute in showing that the same was sworn to. Judge Hanley dismissed the case when this deficiency was proven. Had the case been tried on its merits instead of being decided on this technical point, it would have been the aim of the remonstrators not to defeat the ditch but to secure a reduction of their assessments. It is not thought probable that the remonstrators will appeal, and the road, which is badly needed in Barkley township, will probably be built during tile coming suipmer.

Kentland Man Committed Suicide at Morocco Sunday.

A man named Barns, said to have once been engaged in the denying business ft Kentland, was found dead in the Greer-Wilkinson lumber yard at Morocco Sunday morning.

Stop Kickin the Town Arons’!

In every town folks keep some houU’ arouft* * An’ every time strangers come to town, Some folks go to kickin’ the town aroun’; It’s even worse’n kickin’ a houn’! Stop your kickin, be hopeful an* profound ’ V IPs a mighty por way P build up a town, To keep kickin’ public morals aroun’; J Who wants to locate ’n a town that's ; down? • . ; - This is th’ best town anywhere aroun’ But, like others, we’ve a few ol houn’. Who get at th’ stranger who’s in town; Say the town’s a houn’—an’ kick it aroun’. If a houn’ ’s a houn’, a town’s a town, And can’t be built up If kickin aroun’; You have a right t’ kick your own houn’. But it hurts us all if you kick th’ town! Let’s pull together for th’ good o’ th’ town, An’ stop kickin’ our houn’s aroun’ Tho’ th’ houn’, if a myth, ’ll make no soun’ A hounded town gets a stranger’s frown.

Going Some at Parr, By Gum; Charley Cambell Gets the Mail.

Jt is a dull day when something is not doing at Parr. There are not many dull days and usually between sunup and sunset some occurrence worthy newspaper mention is pulled off, to say nothing of the things that happen between sunup and sunset which rarely get mentioned except in low whispers. The latest occurrence to cause folks Parrward to " have a big laugh was funny to about all the people of the town except Charley Cambell, who was the butt end of the joke. The brisk habits of the city have been indulged in by Charley but a short time, for prior to his removal to Parr he lived In Barkley township and never had ,a chance to witness the mad manner in which the trains rush along. The sight has proven very Interesting and it has become a daily pasttime'for Charley to go to the depot in the afternoon and witness No. 6 go through town and throw off the mail. Charley has become bolder each day until he has been getting dangerously near the track and a few days ago he took his position on a roll of poultry wire, and listened for the tootof the train. He had no thought of taking the toot as a warning, however, but jußt as a signal that the mail would be thrown off. He did not have long to wait on this occasion and he had hardly had time to exclaim “By jing, she’s coming.” when the door to the mail car was thorwn open and the mail bag kicked out “Uncle” Charley was at the receiving dnd but he had none of the regalia with which a modern catcher is equipped and he was a bit out of practice and when the mail bag came his way, Charley didn’t have hiß fins in the right place and the sack took him squarely on the side of the head and carried him headforemost into the sand. Agent Lowman rescued him from his perilous position and found him practically uninjured but swearing vengeance on the mail clerk, whom he thinks purposely threw the mail sack at him. The incident furnished considerable amusement for the citizens of Parr, many of whom witnessed it, and all were pleased that “Uncle” Charley escaped Injury. ; A J, Brenner, who for some time was landlord of the Makeever house and who has been at the head of the Randolph hotel at Winchester for the past year, arrived here this morning to attend the funeral of Harmon Wasson . Mr. Brenner was on his way to Jamestown, N. Dak., where he has a farm. He has been getting along well in the hotel business at Winchester and is Well pleased there. Mrs. Brenner , has been in quite poor health. “Jinks” recently purchased a 5-passehger automobile and Is enjoy life this summer as never before. He is the proudest grandfather we know of and reports that the 11-months-old baby of his son Will and wife is: without an equal. Hts son, Dr. Iran Brenner, Is taking a year’s coarse in surgery before beginning active practice and is securing ranch practical experience on the staff of the chief surgeon of the Big Four railroad at Indiafiapolls. He had his hands fall at the recent Big Four wreck. “Jinks*’ is feeling line and his old friends are all glad to see him again and to know that he is prospering in business.

ALL HOPE GONE FOR OTHER TITANIC VICTIMS.

1,302 Known to Have Perished; 888 Rescued; Sanivors Will Arrive In New York Tomorrow. The Cunard liner Carpathia, bringing survivors Trom the sunken Titanic, got into communication early last night and it is now hoped that details of the disaster will soon be forthcoming. Only faint hope remains that any of the 1,302 passengers and crew who have been missing since tho giant Ti-* tanic sank, have been picked up by trans-Atlantic liners. The 868 survivors rescued from life boats by the Carpathia are the only known saved. The two steamships Virginian and Parisian of the Allen line, reported to have rescued some of the victims, sent word that they have none of Titanic’s survivors bn board. All day tearful and anxious throngs swarmed thO offices of the White Star line at New York and overflowed Into Broadway, stopping traffic at times and keeping police reserves busy maintaining order. Col. John Jacob Astor, multimillionaire, head of the famous New York family, is believed to be among those drowned. His wife is safe on the Carpathia. Isadore Straus, the millionaire merchant; Benjamin Guggenheim, the copper magnate, and many other wealthy and influential passengers are still unaccounted for. Some men of authority blame the wreck of the Titanic upon the craze of the American people for speed.
