Something Dreadful Happened At Monticello Saturday Night.

Following the field meet at Monticello last Saturday a meeting was held at the school house at night for the purpose of holding a social 'gathering and listening to a program of songs etc. Something dreadful happened but just what it was the newspapers did not say, but the following resolutions which were passed by the students of the high school Tuesday evening indicate that it was a disgraceful affair. The resolutions dead: Resolved, That we deplore the occurrence of last Saturday night which so seriously disturbed the comfort and well-being of all who were present for the evening program given in the high school room, and which has tended to bring discredit upon the otherwise good name of Monticello and the community. Resolved, That we condemn the conduct of the perpetrators of the egg outrage and that we characterize their ret as worthy only or Irresponslbles or savages.

Brother of Monticello Bankrupt Came to His Rescue

Monticello Herald. ■ yMr. Neil gangster, of Montreal, Canada, a brother of Dr. Geo. gangster was here last week and made a proposition to his brother’s creditors to take all the assets and settle* Trti claims at 75 cents on the dollar. His offer was accepted and settlement was made accordingly, one-third lof the amount due by this settlement being paid by check and the remainder by the notes of Mr. Nell gangster, payable in 60 days. Mr. gangster’s proposition must be considered very liberal in view of the fact that he was under no legal obligation to undertake any settlement at all. It is said that he held a claim of $1,500 himself which he refused to consider as a liability, thus further adding to the liberality of b|s- offer. The horses and accounts- were left in charge of Robt. Spencer, arid he will endeavor to realize as much as possible out of the latter, though some of the accounts are outlawed by lapse of time.- -

COLLEGEVILLE.

At three o’clock last Sunday afternoon St. Joseph’s baseball team took the field against the Y. M. I. from Lafayette. The visitors stepped up to bat and from the way they at first stood up against Lili’s swift curves the spectators argued for a close .and body contested game. Their work in the field soon told a different story. Two bad throws brought a St. Poe man across the home plate the first Inning. They scored again in the second, owifig to an error in center field. All were presented with a surprise basket in the third inning when Marcus, the center fielder for Lafayette, made a home run, and it looked 38 if the visitors were about to rally. This, however, was the’only hit they could get Several times they had men on bases with, nd down, yet owing to their lack of scientific baseball they were unable to score and the men at the bat struck out in one, two, three order. St. Joe men were In excellent trim from the first to the last inning and treated the crowd to some neat playa Following is the score: St. Joe—2 2 2 0 0 0 1 1 0 o—6 Y, M. I.—« 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 o—l Home runs,-Marcus; struck out by Lili, 10, by Kallmeyer. O. Base ou balls off 1411-2, off Kallmeyer none. Hit by pitcher Siler. Umpire McLain.

Indianapolis Democratic Organ Opposes “Dry" Results

Monticello Herald. The Indianapolis Herald, the democratic machine organ of this state contained an editorial write-up of Monticello last week, the main object of which seemed to be to discipline “dry” democrats. It held up Dr. gangster and Ore Eldridge as examples of “dry rascals,” and then took a poke at Editor Simons by charing him with drinking up his partner’s whisky—a story which in justice to Jim must be attributed wholly to the malice of the liquocratic machine. That such a man as Geo. M. Ray could find as cordial a reception in White county as his article indicates is not flattering to the democrats whose names are, dragged into his venomous sheet as friends of -the.. paper.
