“PEACH” MORGAN SUFFERED INJURY

Rensselaer Athlete Fell From Tree at Warsaw and Suffered Severe Injury to Arm and Shoulder, John Morgan, better known here by the nickname “Peach,” answers to the name “Pete” in Indianapolis and at Butler college. He has been counted upon as the main hope of the Butler football team this year anti there was woe in the camp when he appeared a few days ago with a badly injured arm and shoulder. The Indianapolis Star makes his injury the occasion for a big headline on the sporting page. The Star states that Morgan has been working at tree trimming at Warsaw. A few days ago while trimming a tree a large limb broke with him and he fell and was pinned between two limbs and it was 30 minutes before help arrived to release him. His left Shoulder was badly mashed and the ligiments torn and his left arm was twisted. The shoulder is in a cast and the surgeon has warned Morgan against playing any football during the season. The Star says: “The effect of Morgan’s injury on the squad can not be overestimated, as the candidates for the team have been looking forward to the coming of the star of last year’s team. Morgan, while playing under the handicap of water on the knee, was awarded a place on the all-state team by many critics last season. Coach Thomas said that he was unquestionably the best half back in the state.”

Morgan is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Morgan, of Rensselaer, and is a former high school star at football and all around athletics. His injury will be unwelcome news to bis many friends in this city. The News also prints an account of Morgan’s injury, along with a large picture which shows him in a charac* teristic pose while making a drop kick. The News also says that Morgan was sitting on the limb which he was sawing off. The News, however, thinks that Morgan will be out for practice within a week. No bones were broken and the swelling is but slight. (

Farm Starts at S9O Per Acre and by Blow Stages Beaches 9109.50—J0hn H. Newman, of Illinois, Gets It. The Marion I. Adams farm of 160 acres lying about three miles south of Rensselaer, was sold at public auction this afternoon by Fred Phillips. The farm was sold to John H. Newman, of Iroquois county. 111. He only made two bids, raising Sol Guth, of Washington, 111., whose last bid was $lO9. The farm started at S9O per acre and by slow stages the bidding reached $lO4. At this point it was about to be sold, when Mr. Adams, who had the right to one bid, asked for a few minutes delay. In the meantime some new bidders arrived on the ground and when the auctioneer again opened the sale, Sol Guth bid $104.60. He was raised by a local bidder by 50 cent stages to $107.50, and when Guth bid SIOB, the local bidder dropped out. Here Newman stepped in and when his bid reached $109.50, Guth stepped out and Newman got the farm. The farm is well improved, well located, good soil and is well worth the price paid. The purchaser should have no trouble In selling at a substantial advance over the price paid.

WILL PAY THEIR PASTOR MORE

Christian Church Prospering Under Pastorate of Rev. Winn Raises His Salary to $1,200. The Christian church congregation voted last Sunday to increase the salary of Rev. W. G. Winn, the pastor, from SI,OOO to $1,200 per year. Rev. Winn came here from Pittsburg, Pa., a little more than a year ago and took hold of the church work here with a spirit of energy and enterprise that has had effective results in all branches of the church work. The result that has been accomplished the past year was the most successful that the church has ever had from a financial point of view, at least, and in every way the spirit of progress has been demonstrated. The increase in the salary of the minister is always a sign of the condition of the church and greater results are certain to be attained in the work of the coming year.

BOUGHT ORANGE AND OLIVE FARM IN WEST

J. L. Brady Invested In Orchard and Unimproved Land in Northeastern Part of California. Jesse L. Brady, who returned several days ago and whom The Republican mistakenly reported to have made no investment in the west, reports to have bought an olive and orange farm of 10% acres near Plermo, Cal/, about 100 miles northeast of Sacramento. He also purchased 41% acres of raw or unimproved land. The purchase is about six miles from the city of Oroville, where his brother-in-law, Dr. Karsner, lives. Mr. Brady gets this year’s fruit crop, which wil\ make him something like $2,000. It is bis expectation to move to California, but his going will to some extent depend upon the sale of his fine residence property in this city. He will also sell his interest in the farm south of Rensselaer, owned jointly by himself and Albert Brand. It Is. his present expectation to locate at Stockton, Cal., where Albert L. Branch lives, and he may engage in some business there. He made a quite thorough study of the west and came to the conclusion that the most rapid and stable advance is going to take place in California.

He visited George E. Marshall, former editor of The Republican, and family, at Medford, Oregon, and was entertained at their home. Mr. Marshall has prospered in Oregon and not only has a fine big fruit farm but has invested in other land In that state. His nephew, Albert Marshall, has also bought land there. He also called on Rev, J. D. Carson, a former pastor of the Christian church at Remington. He located near Pullman, Wash., the seat of the state agricultural college, where he owns a farm est 1 240 acres. He bought part of this seven years ago at a very cheap price. It is now valued at SIOO an acre. His oats averaged better than 60 bushels to the acre. Other former Jasperites are succeeding along the western coast.

Mr. Brady expects Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane all to be great cities in time, but believes at the present time the outlook for California is better than in either Oregon dr Washington. Miss Selma .Leopold will next Sunday go to Ann Arbor, Mich., to resume her studies at Michigan State University.
