J. D. MILLER WON SUIT WITH G. M. KIME

Fomer Was Tenant and Latter Land-lord-Action Was in Settlement of Last Year’s Lease. u —*—* r ' t George M. Kime, of Dwight, 111., owns considerable land in Hanging Grove township. He had John D. Miller as a tenant of part of it last year Mr. Miller marketed his part of the grain and Mr. Kime attached the proceeds in the hands of the elevater men. He claimed that Miller was trying to skin him but he failed to show it to the satisfaction of the jury composed of twelve men, mostly farmers who were out only about a half hour and brought in a verdict of $52 for Kime, which was $1 less than Mr. Miller had tendered him in open court One amusing incident occurred during the trial. Mr. Miller had in his list of offset charges one for $6, paid to a local concern for repairing the windmill. Mr. Kime objected to the payment on the ground that he had authorized the windmill to be repaired on Monday and the repairs had been made the Friday before. The day after the repairs were made a windstorms blew the windmill down. He contended that had the men waited until the next Monday to repair the windmill this $6 would have been saved. The court joined the jury and the spectators in a hearty laugh at this objection , 'All witnesses claimed their fees and the costs of the trial will be on Landlord Kime.

REVOLUTION PAYS THE REBEL LEADER

Another Rebel General Charges That Ororco and Salazar Hare Each Amassed Great Fortunes. ■A dispatch from Tuscon, Arizona where most qf the sensational Mexican war dispatches are headed, states that Gen. Emilia Campa, of the Mexican rebel army, who is in that city charges that Generals Orozco and Salazar, two of the leaders in the rebel army, have used their positions as a means of graft and -that Orozco has over $1,000,000 on deposit in foreign banks as a result of his raids. Salazar also has a large amount of money, says Campa. It is probable that the rebels who have been loyal to these grafting leaders will make Bhort work of them if they confirm this charge. There has been little fighting in Mexico lately, but each period of quiet is usually followed by one of unusual activity and an outbreak can be expected almost any day. Mrs. Geo. W. Hopkins, who has been visiting relatives in Vincennes, returned home yesterday evening. Mr. Hopkins met her in Chicago. Mrs. Hopkins’ sister’s husband, E. S. Snivley, died Wednesday at Omaha, Neb. ; of diabetes, and reached Chicago Thursday and Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins assisted Mrs. Snivley in making the transfer in the city. The body was shipped to Pennsylvania for burial. Mrs. Snivley visited in Rensselaer last year. A Classified Adv. will find it.

BAND AT REMINGTON TODAY AND SATURDAY

Boys’ Band Furnishes Music for the Horse Show—Carnival Company Hit Mot Appear. Prof, Otto Braun and the Rensselaer band boys went to Remington this afternoon to play for the horse show the balance of today and tomorrow. The horse show is quite a success,, say those who have been there. There are a great many entries and some fine stock. Some very good free attractions are offered. The pay attractions are the Wild West Show, the Lyric Theatre and a shooting gallery, while a number of ice cream cone and weine stands adorn the streets. The carnival company that had been engaged went broke and consequently did ot reach Remington, but this is no serious loss. The free attractions are very creditable.

AVIATOR SHAW FELL AT N. MANCHESTER

Indianapolis Mu May Live After Bad Accident When Engine In Biplane Failed In Midair. Russell Shaw, of Indianapolis, an aviator who had been engaged to make daily flights at the North Mnchester fair, almost lost his life Thursday He had been in the air only a few minutes when the engine of his biplane stopped and the machine started to fall. It was only about 50 feet in the air. As it fell it turned over and Shaw was thrown out and fell to the ground ahead of the machine which fell on top of him.t The great crowd that thronged the fair grounds thought that he was * killed but there is a chance of his recovery. When picked up blood was oozing from his ears and nostrils. He also had a broken arm and was frightfully cut about the face and body.

MEN IN AUTOMOBILE ROB STORE AT DYER

Meagre Information Received Here That Five Men After Robbing Store Headed for Rensselaer. Sheriff Hoover received a telephone message this Friday morning that a store at Dyer had been robbed by five masked men riding in an automobile. After completing the robbery they started south in the machine and officers at Dyer thought they were headed for Rensselaer. Sheriff Hoover informed his deputy and Marshal Mustard and all have been on the lookout for the bandits but it is hardly probable that they will pass through town. It was not learned how much booty the burglars procured, nor what means they employed to carry out their deed. You can save money on your lard by purchasing it from us.

CHICKEN SUPPER WELL ATTENDED

Many Were Turned Away From M. E. Church Supper Thursday Evening —Another to Be Held. Rensselaer people were all hungry Thursday and the chicken supper given at the M. E. church dining basement brought out so many that all could not be fed, the supply of chicken, noodles, potatoes, gravy and pumpkin pie being entirely exhausted long before all had been served. One hundred and forty were served and the ladies made $35. The ladies Industrial Society of the same church have determined to give another chicken supper on the evening of Oct. 30th, Hallowe’en. They promise to have sufficient on hand to care for all who come. N In the meantime it is quite probable that some of the other churches will hold one and the chicken hungry can thus be satisfied.

PEEK VS. WISEMAN JURY OUT AT 2:15

Earl Wiseman Miakes Hard Fight to Prove Innocence of Charge of Paternity by Mildred Peek. The suit of Mildred Peek against Earl Wiseman, charging that he is the father of her child born on July 12th, occupied the attention of the court from Thursday afternoon until 2:15 o’clock this Friday afternoon, when the Jury retired to consider it. Young Wiseman fought hard against being convicted and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Wiseman, stayed by him. Attorney W. H. Parkinson represented him, while John A. Dunlap, of Rensselaer, and Frank Davis, of Brook, represented the state. On the 13tb of last October a pie social was held at a church near Virgie. Wiseman took the Peek girl home in his buggy. She alleges that he committed the act on that occasion. At a preliminary hearing held before Squire Irwin on July 12th, court had to adjourn to avoid turning the justice’s office into a hospital. The baby was born that day. The defense made a very stubborn fight and Attorney Parkinson said he knew that he was guiltless and indicated in his argument that some other person was responsible and had fled to avoid prosecution. The Peek girl was only 15 years of age, while Wiseman is 24. •>

Voters Who Do Not Register Thea Will Be Barred From Voting On Election Day In November. October 7 is the final day for the registration of voters and those in Jasper county who have not registered must do so then or else they will be disfranchised on election day.

HAY[?]AGAIN HIGH; TIMOTHY $12 TO $15

Big Crop But Price is Almost as High , as Last Year—Practically No Clover Hay for Sale. There was a good crop of hay this year but the price is nevertheless very high and users in this city are paying from sl2 to sls per ton. The top price is paid for a fine quality of all timothy. Clover hay is very scarce and cow owners are experiencing trouble in getting any of it at all. Harry Swartzell, who has been baling hay about the country, reports that he has paid as high as sl2 on the ground. Baled timothy will probably be wor£h. S2O per ton before spring. Straw is also hard to get. Many farmers will not permit it to be hauled from the land, owing to its fertilization values. The price f<fr baled oats straw is about $lO per ton, while from $5 to $7.50 is paid for it at the stack. There is a real milk famine in this city. Many families are unable to get milk because of the limited number of cows, while people with cows find it mighty expensive to keep them on the high priced hay, grain and bedding. It will not pay to keep cows, and sell milk at less than 10 cents a quart.

Looks Like a Re-Election in Tenth.

The Benton Review, a “rank-pizen” democratic paper in Benton county, has the following to say of the Hon. E. D. Crumpacker. It will be remembered that Roby fought Mr. Crumpacker “teeth and toe-nail” in the last campaign, but he, too, like Peterson, of Crown Point, hit the-“stone wall.” “Present indications are that Congressman E. D. Crumpacker will be re-elected in the tenth congressional district at the November election unless a landslide should develop, of which there are no signs at present, in this county at least. “Our bull moose friends sincerely thought they were going to retire the perpetual congressman by placing a third man in the field. A little reflection will reveal the fallacy of their reasoning. “Two years ago a great many republicans throughout the district voted for Peterson. It was believed there was a chance to elect him and many workers entered into the campaign with enthusiasm. The element of enthusiasm is lacking this year on the part of Those who tire of butting their head against a stone wall, and the bull moose party is responsible for this condition. Their action in placing a candidate in the field practically puts Peterson out of the running and every vote cast for John O. Bowers is, in effect, a vote for E. D. Crumpacker. the majority of republicans who voted for ePterson would have preferred to vote for a republican had the nominee met with their approval. It is also reasonable to believe that at least 75 per cent of the republicans who voted for Peterson two years ago will flop to the bull moose candidate this time, with the idea that they are getting on the band wagon. The bulk of Bowers’ strength will be recruited at the expense of Peterson, and Crumpacker will retain the support of the conservative element With the democrats and progressive's voting different tickets there isn't the least doubt aboutwhere Mr. Crumpacker will laud af-* ter the votes are counted.

"The only thing that will defeat Crumpacker is an improbable landslide, or else the bull moosers will have to desert their own candidate and support the democratic nominee, and, as stated before, there is nothing in sight to indicate that either of these things will happen.”, ' -• Don’t fail to attend our Millinery Opening this week.

SEVENTH DISTRICT NAMED ZARTMAN

Progressives Selected Zartman After 'Resignation of C. Z. Wfley, Who Was “Too Busy.”

The bull moose party at Indianapolis Thursday nominated J. V. Zartman for congress in the seventh district. U. Z. Wiley, who was nominated two weeks ago and whop Theodore Roosevelt congratulated the people for choosing, resigned after taking a very active interest. in the progressive movement for about ten days. He assigned as an excuse that he was “too busy” but it is generally believed that the exposure given his court dicisions by Billy Blodgett, who charged that Wiley habitually favored the railroads and overrode the lower courts ruthlessly in finding a method of favoring the corporations. The Indianapolis Star pronounces Zartman all right with the same fervor that it placed a stamp of approval on Judge Wiley. No person should miss seeing one of the biggest dramatic sensations presented in years, when-“A Girl of the Underworld” will be produced at the Ellis Theatre, on Saturday night, Sept 28.
