RENSSELAER, INDIANA. TUESDAY, JULY 16, 1912.

LOTS OF BOOZE AND FAST WOMEN.

Two Rensselaer Lads Arrested at Mionon For Disorderly Conduct on Train and Fined $17.50. A little comedy drama enacted on a train yesterday between Lafayette and Monon, in which two Rensselaer lads figured prominently. In fact, they were the only male members of a hilarious troupe of four. The other two were of the gender. It could scarcely be said that they were of doubtful character, as they are notoriously known in Lafayette and other places. Their reputation is such that there is no room for any doubt to exist The two boys went to Medaryville Sunday to see their best girls and then went on to Lafayette, where the older fellow was well acquainted. How they employed their time until 4 o’clock Monday afternoon is of no consequence in this story, but at 4:10 o’clock in the afternoon these young men, accompanied by May Jolly, for-merly-May Steele, of this city, and a girl, supposed to have been Rose Cooper, boarded a train at Lafayette foT Monon. The entire party, it is alleged, had a goodly and more-than-all-sufficient supply of booze, both under and' outside their belts. They became very hilarious on the train and it is alleged that their actions became very odious to persons of more refined taste, When the train reached Monon the traincrew, which had grown disgusted with the obnoxious party, put them off and had the young men arrested. The women-of the party were sent back to Lafayette. A search was instituted on the Monon depot platform and in the presence of one or tw(x hundred townspeople the young men were relieved of their burden of booze (all thatvwas on the; outside). The boys paid their fine, which amounted to $17.50 in all and departed for their homes in a hired automobile. The Cooper and Jolly women, it will be remembered, came into notoriety several weeks’ ago, when the Retherford girl was killed in an automobile wreck about a mile east of town, having been members of the party in the machine that was wrecked.

Michaels Residence Property Sold To William Cooper, of Virgle.

The Robert Michaels property at the southwest corner of Van Rensselaer and Rutsen streets, occupied until about a month ago by Attorney John Dunlap, has changed hands. The new owner is William Cooper, of near Virg(e, Union township. Mr. Cooper Jg an aged man and la becoming unite feeble. He and his wife intend "to occupy the house shortly and make Rensselaer their home. The residence property changed hands as a result of a trade between Mr. Michaels and Mr. Cooper. Mr. Michaels purchased 148 acres of land of Mr. Cooper for $6,000. The residence property was taken in the trade at a consideration of $3,000. The farm is thirteen miles north of Rensselaer and is just across the road from the farm occupied by Mr. Michaels’ son, Vern.

RENSSELAER MEN ON FALSE TRACK.

Supposed Crooks Run Down by Bens* selaer Ante Prove to be Lafayette Men of Good Standing. Four men enroute from Chicago to Lafayette in a Buick passed through here last Wednesday and stopped for supplies at the Rensselaer Garage, They purchased an automobile tire and an inner tube of the proprietor, Dan Waymire, and paid him by a check on the Continental National Bank of Chicago. The owner of the machine and the one who signed the check was Dr. S. Sydney Walker, Jr. When the new tire was placed Mr. Walker decided to buy another. Mr. Waymire Instructed one of his employes to put it on, and then left .the garage. When the seqond new tirb was on the auto party left, stating that both tires had been settled for with Mr, Waymire. When Mr. Waymire returned he found that he had been buncoed. He telephoned to Remington and had the Marshal hold the party and Instructed him to collect $36.60 from Dr. Walker or arrest him. Dr. Walker came across with a check for S2B, stating that he had

been overcharged $8 at the Rensselaer Garage. Mr. Waymire presented the first check at toe State Bank. On investigation, Delos Thompson, the cashier, found that Dr. Walker’s credit In the bank was good. for li.gflg: J When the check was sent in, however, the State Bank was notified that the Chicago bank .had been instructed by ' Dr. Walkef to stop payment on it. This left Waymire holding the sack minus about SBO worth of tires and i inner tubes.

A party of three men passed through Rensselaer at a high rate of speed this morning in the same kind of machine and it was thought by Mr. Waymire and others to be the same buneh. Consequently Marshal Mustard was instructed to telephone to the authorities at Crown Point and have the party held there on a charge of exceeding the speed limit. In the meantime Delos Thompson, Sheriff Hoover, Dan Waymire and Max Kenner started to head them off in the former’s machine. They overtook them at Thayer and discovered that they were working on a false clue: They found the men to be all Lafayette men of good standing and of a genial disposition. They were Homer N. Motsinger, president and general manager of the Motsinger Device Mfg. Co.; James M. Garr and B. L. Rogers. After the Rensselaer bunch had explained their mission they all had a good laugh over the situation and sat down to lunch ■ Mr. Thompson and his party got back at 2:30 and Mr. Waymire is still holding the sack.

TO Try Dynamite on Two-Acre Field of Hardpan.

C. B. Jones, a wealthy farmer and business man of Noblesville, has an idea which he is going to try out and which he believes will be a benefit to the farmers of Indiana. While dynamite has been used extensively in this state for many years to blow up stumps, its use for breaking up hardpan and loosening the ground for several feet below the surface is a pet scheme of Mr. Jones Just now. In order to prove or disprove the assertion of a representative of a powder company made at a convention of hardware men which Mr. Jones attended recently, he is planning to treat a two-acre field in this Way. It is claimed that the use of dynamite on many fields would be a paying investment and it. is said to cost less than $25 liter acre. The experiment of Mr. Jones will be watched with interest by the farmers of the state. He is inclined to believe that the scheme will prove successful. The body of Bryan I.egg, who was drowned at Monticello Sunday, had not been recovered at last reports. The Legg boy, with two companions, had gone to the river. His two companions were in the water swimming and the Legg boy was stripped wading along the shore, as he could not swim. He was talking to his chums and in wading backwards stepped off the sandbar into water twenty feet deep. One of his companions tried to rescue him, but Legg caught him by the ear and he was forced to break away, but expected to catch the drowning boy as he came to the surface again, but the body remained under the water. The current of the river at that point is quite swift and taxes the abilities of the best swimmerg; • Let your wants be known through out classified column.

Express Rates are to To Take Tumble Soon.

Sweeping reductions in express rates, averaging, in general, approximately 15 per cent; drastic reforms in, regulations and practices; and comprehensive changes in the methods of operation are prescribed in a report made public by the Interstate Commerce Commission of its investigation into the business of the thirteen great express companies of the United States. The report finds that while the companies are separate legal entities, “it is of interest to regard this fact that by stock ownership and otherwise they are so interlaced, intertwined and interlocked that it is with difficulty we can trace any one of the greater companies as either wholly independent In its management or the agency of a single railroad system.

Briefly stated-the aew_rates may be said to be based upon a minimum charge of 21 cents for a one-pound package. This charge increases in ratio to the increase of weight and distance, at rates varying from threetenths of a cent a pound to about 12 cents a pound. Twelve cents a pound, according to the conclusions of the commission, Is approximately the highest rate per pound for the greatest distance possible for a parcel to be carried wholly within the United States, exclusive of Alaska. Packages weighing two pounds, tor example, may be shipped tiooo miles —New York city to Chicago—for 24 cents, and 2,000 miles for 31 cents, the present rates being respectively for each 35 cents. A three-pound package wi.ll cost 27 cents for 1,000 miles and 37 cents for 2,000 miles, the existing rates being, respectively, each 45 cents. A tenpound paekage may be transported 1,000 miles for 42 ednte and 2,000 miles for 77 cents, as against the existing rates of 75 cents and $1.25, respectively. The cost of transporting a twenty-five-pound package 1,000 miles will be ... .
