ALMOST LOST HAND WHEN GUN DISCHARGED

Glenn Tanner Climbed Through Wire Fence When Rabbit Hunting With Frightful Result. Glenn Tanner, 17-year-old son of D. E. Tanner, living on the William Washburn farm Southwest of Rensselaer, suffered a serious injury in a hunting accident Friday afternoon that will leave him a badly crippled hand, if the doctors succeed in saving it at all Glenn was hunting with a 10-guage shotgun and was in the act of climbing through a barbed wire fence when the gun was discharged. His left hand was at the muzzle and the shot tore entirely through the Wrist, entering on the thumb side and passing diagonally across to the little finger, tearing bone and muscle as it went. The doctors hope to save the hand and will be able to do so,_ they say, unless infection starts in.

This annoying trouble to which everyone is more or less exposed Is due tn the working of an invisible growth or microbe called the Dandruff Germ. It robs the hair of the snap and luster of health, burrows down into the follicle and eventually loosens the hail', allowing it to fall out. Newbro’s Herpicide applied regularly and intelligently kills this germ, keeps the scalp clean and hair healthy. Falling hair is thus prevented and, if the hair follicles have not become atrophied, a new growth of hair may be anticipated. ’.rhe life and luster of Herpicide hair is beautiful to see. Is unmistakable. An abundance of fluffy, glittering hair is woman’s chiefest beauty and to permit its needless destruction is unpardonable, - „ Kills the Dandruff Germ - Stops Falling Hair We sell the one dollar size bottle with a positive guarantee.

Large Eagle Shot by Reynolds Crow Hunters.

Reynolds Journal. Clemens Heimlich is the proud possessor of a large eagle which he shot Thursday evening. It is a magnificent specimen, measuring seven feet from tip to tip and weighing almost ten pounds; Clemens, together with John Werner and Rinehart Krintz, went out to shoot crows in the evening and it seems that the eagle was after the same game. The bird swooped doWn toward the younthful hunters and as he veered away Clemens gave him the benefit of a charge of shot. It was already so dark that he did not know what he had shot and he sent the Krintz boy to pick up the "crow.” What he found was far from a crow and he decided not to pick it up. It was an eagle, with one wing broken but nevertheless very much alive and ready to meet all comers. The three, nimrods were too much for him, however, and the eagle will be a fit subject for'.the taxidermist’s art. It was shot on the Holsemer farm.

HAD EVEN BREAK WITH MEDARYVILLE

High School Boys Defeated Medaryville Boys 27 to 20—Girls Lost 12 to 4. The high school had an even break with Medaryville Friday nightat the high'school gymnasium. The Rensselaer boys defeated the Medaryville boys 27 to 20 in a well-played game in which Eiglesbach starred for the home team. The boys showed considerable class for their first gapie and with team practice will be able to hold their own with any of the high school teams in this part of the state. . ...' The Rensselaer girls losFby the score of 12 to 4. This was the first girls’ game played here for several years and they were not quite up to the ginger that characterized the splendid teams that used to play for the red and black. The visiting girls were more spirited and wore the home girls out before the game was over. The score at the end of the first half was 5 to 4 in favor of Medaryville and Rensselaer never got another point, while the visitors made 7 more in the last half. A good sized crowd witnessed the game and almost enough was taken in to pay expenses, notwithstanding the very unfavorable night.

Monticello Man at Head of Lumber dealers’ Association.

At the 29th annual meeting of the Indiana Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association at Indianapolis this week C. D. Meeker, of Monticello, was elected president of that organization. The lumber dealers took an advance step in the matter of. bringing up home trade as against mail order business. It was the opinion of all present that lumber could be sold by the home-retail dealer just as cheap as-it could be supplied by the mail order or house wrecking houses; and that the purchase would be much more satisfactory to the customer, because he would have a chance to inspect what he was buying; and it was urged upon dealers that they use more space in their home papers for advertising purposes. The mall order concerns are persistent advertisers through the medium of catalogues and their alluring offers should be met by the dealers through their local papers. r A number of editors of the state were present as guests of the association.

B. J. GIFFORD HAS APOPLETIC STROKE

Attack Came While in Bed at Early Hour—lndications Are Favorable for Recovery. Benjamin J. Gifford, owner of the Chicago & Wabash Valley railroad and of many acres of land in this county suffered a stroke of apoplexy while in his bed at the Makeover hotel at about 5 o’clock this Saturday morning. Assistance was at once Called by Mrs. Gifford and medical aid was procured. For a time his condition seemed very bad but he made surprising recovery and at 2:30 o’clock this afternoon the indications were that he would be able to leave his bed and be about his business again in a few days. The only condition now causing trouble is a slight paralysis in his left side. Mr. Gifford is quite old but has remarkable tenacity and this will doubtless be of aid in bringing him back to his normal condition of health.

Warm Rain Caused Sleet To Break From the Wires.

A warm rain which started Friday afternoon, continued almost all night. Not mutis water fell at a time but the temperature was enough above freezing to cause the ice on the telephone, telegraph ami electric wires to melt and fall to <me ground and the result is the cause of considerable rejoicing in telephone circles.

PLAYED MONTICELLO TO A STANDSTILL

Official Score of 21 to 19 in Favor of Visitors is Disputed by College Official. Rensselaer and Monticello militiamen had a basketball battle Friday night that makes the average sham battle appear much as a Mayday picnic. The official score as reported by the scorers at the end of the game was 21 to 19 in favor of Monticello. There was some dispute between Referee Gardner, of the visiting team, and Umpire Lili, of St. Joseph’s college, as to whether ■Monticello was entitled to a held basket made near the end of the game. Schlenker, the Monticello center, and Morgan, of Rensselaer, bumped together and fell, both'being tempofarily stunned. A second later and while both men were stretched out on the floor Robinson shot a basket for Monticello. Referee Gardner, seeing the men on the floor, blew his whistle, but he states that the ball was in the air when he blew it and that the basket consequently counts. Umpire Lili stated after the game that he Mew his whistle to stop the game before the basket was thrown and that he called a foul and so reported to Referee Gardner. Gardner says that Lili did not report a foul to him and as no free throw was granted it is evident that the foul was not allowed. Had the foul been called and enforced the basket would not have counted. As >it was, Referee Gardner decided the basket to be good and the rules favor his jurisdiction. It was a great game, far the best ever seen here, and both teams played wonderful ball The Monticello team work was superior and the great height of their center, Schlenker, gave them a decided advantage. On three occasions baskets were made by Schlenker following toss-ups between him and some opponent a half foot shorter. Fisher, of Monticello, also played a splendid game at guard. He has been playing basketball for four or five years and is regarded one of the best guards in the state. The other Monticello players are individual stars but they did not have it over Rensselaer in the individual play except for Sehlenker’s height In fact Monticello made no baskets from long throws, while several of the'Rensselaer baskets were of the sensational kind. Morgan made two of these, Parks made two and Duvall, who was in the game only a few minutes, made a wonderful basket from the center of the court. Kirk and Clark played splendidly and each made hard baskets. Putts put up the best game he has played so far this year. Rensselaer was particularly strong in the second half of the game. The first half ended 16 to 7 in favor of Monticello. The visitors got only 5 points including the two protested ip the second half, while the local militiamen got 12. It is generally believed that the local team would have won the game In a few minutes more of play. < The decidedly close score shows that the teams are practically of equal ability and Rensselaer expects to play them just as close a game and to beat them if they can when the team goes to Monticello on January 22nd. The large crowd that witnessed the game became very enthusiastic at the demonstration of scientific basketball by both teams and many have already expressed their Intention of going to Monticello when the boys play there.

Marion Women are to be congratulated on the splendid opportunity thus given them to keep abreast of dub and others news especially interesting to them.” The many old friends of Mrs. Loop in Rensselaer win be greatly pleased to know that she is engaged so successfully in this Important social and educational newspaper work.

An Attica Minister Has Unique Funeral Record.

Attica .Ledger-Press. One hundred funeral sermons within a period of less than two years is the remarkable record that Rev. Chas. W. Postill, pastor of the Methodist church, has made since coming to Attica. Yesterday afternoon fle conducted his onehundredth funeral since he took charge of the church in this city any it lacks two weeks yet of being two years since he came to charge. He has another for tomorrow and with the two weeks yet to go on will average one a week during the two years. The record is a most unusual one—in fact, we doubt if it can be equalled in all Indiana. Inasmuch as the funeral service brings no fee and during all that time he has performed but seven wedding ceremonies, Mr. Postill is in' doubt as to whether it is an honor or whether his brother preachers have worked a rabbit's foot on him. There are some that say in their haste that preachers in these latter days do not earn their salaries, but it will be conceded that any undertaker who conducts a funeral a week earns a salary that will compare very favorably with that received by any person in Attica and yet the minister’s funeral work is merely inci-dental-only one feature of a work that has numerous other interests more important
