RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1912.

There are an unusually large number snipe and plover this year, probably attracted by the ponds of water. They are not apt to remain but a few days and hunters are getting busy and bagging large numbers of these fine little game birds. A number of the St. Joseph students accompanied the varsity base hall team to Kankakee, 111., today to play at St Viator. This is their first game of the season. St. Joe believes that they have a strong aggregation this year and have scheduled several home games. The first game played here will be with Cathedral College, of Chicago, May 6th. John A. Dunlap and W. H. Parkison went to Cedar Lake today on business as attorneys for Ray Day in his suit brought against the Cedar Lake saloon keepfer. It is said that a good settlement has been offered the plaintiff and the lawyers went there to fix the terms. The case was venued to this county some time ago and if no settlement is made the trial will be held here next week. The condition of Mrs. Dennis Healy, who was So severely Injured in the cyclone last Sunday evening, is regarded as very critical and friends report that they are very apprehensive of the outcome. Infection set in at several of the wounds and tetanus is feared, Dennis is getting along very well but is still unable to leave the house. August Kreuger and wife and August Schultz and wife and children are all recovering fro'm their injuries. The range house recently destroyed by fire on the U. S. Rifle Range at Pajr is being replaced and will be completed today and targets framed and covered preparatory to beginning the season practice, which was delayed some three weeks on account of the fire. John Robinson, Frank Ellis and Chase Day are building the range house. For convenience the company is making the building almost twice the size of the majority of range houses. It is possible that the next battallion shoot will take place on the local range. A Classified Adv. will sell It

Rev. Baech, of Delphi, is Now in Critical Condition.

Mrs. B. F. Fendig returned from Delphi Friday, where she has been assisting her mother in the care of Rev. Baech. He is very low now and death is expected at any moment. He has suffered with, cancer of the stomach for many months and has undergone several operations, none of which have proven very beneficial. He has not taken nourishment of any sort for two weeks and is so weak that he is utterly helpless, even to move an arm or musciSk " A remarkable condition in this case is his lack of suffering. Ordinarily, cancer of the stomach is accompanied by much physical suffering, and is one of the most painful diseases known. Doctors are unable to account for it but say he does not suffer at all.

Shelby Druggist Acquitted; Insufficient Evidence.

W. N. Boyer, the Shelby druggist was arrested several days ago, charged with having trespassed on the Northern Indiana Land Co.’s premises, was aquitted by Squire Irwin Thursday after he had' heard the evidence. Boyer did not deny having hunted in that vicinity, but the Kankakee has been declared a navigable stream and at the time of the alleged trespassing it was several miles wide and the defense expected to maintain that a permit was unnecessary as it was impossible to locate the channel proper at that time. The state failed to make a case against the defendant.

Will Collins Wrote Home About Floods in Arkansas.

Will Collins, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alf Collins, who now lives at Hieksvilie, Ark., was in the district affected by the breaking of the Mississippi river levee and tiffs week wrote ah interesting letter to his parents relating some of the scenes of distress that attended the overflow of the lands that the levee had protected, as well as telling of the imminent danger in which himself and family were left for some time. From Will’s home one could see large houses floating down stream and every family in his section kept a boat tied to the front porch, so that they were prepared to leave at the moment of warning. The mail was out off from Hicksville and what was received came by way of Barfield. where Will’s letter was mailed. For the protection of stock, horses, cattle and hogs, a structure 12 feet high, 12 feet wide and 50 feet long was built on high ground. Will relates that hay has been $25 a ton and corn 75 cents a bushel there. In this respect he does not have us beaten any as those prices prevail here at this time. in an effort to repair the levee thousands of sacks of sand were used, 7,000 in one day, but it had no effect and was later abandoned. One thousand men were at work on the levee and sentries patroled the banks and provision was made to warn the people if additional levee breaks resulted. It was a trying moment for all the people isl the valley.
