PINKAMINK TRIBE AT VENISON FEAST

Order of Redmen Banqueted On Anniversary of Organisation of the Local Tribe. The Redmen of Pinkamink tribe had a big pow wow at their hall Monday evening and at 7:30 o’clock sat down to a banquet of great proportions and superior quality. Could the aboriginees of America, in whose commemoration the order was founded, have looked in upon the 138 braves and the groaning table they surrounded they would have found dishes vastly different from the viands prepared by the squaws of a century or two ago. The modern Redman bears no resemblance in habits or tastes to his almost extinct brother. He believes in greater variety and greater quantity and better seasoning and more attention to service. At this function all the modern notions were complied with and the tribesmen report a feed of rare excellence. The menu was as follows: cream chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, escalloped macaroni, French peas, olives, pickles, bread and butter, pie, cake and coffee. Following the supper the first rank was conferred on A. E. Wallace. During the degree work J, W. Lambkin, of lndianapolis, filled the chair of Saehem. He is the Senior Great Sagamore of Indiana and later in the evening he spoke at considerable length about the order, paying a high tribute to the local tribe, which was organized just one year before and whose record for advancement, he said, exceded every order in the state.

PROBABLE GUARDIAN FOR B. J. GIFFORD

Need of Authorized Agent to Conduct Business is Felt by All Who Associated With Him. It is probable that a guardian will be appointed for Benjamin J. Gifford within the next few days. His mental since he suffered a stroke of apoplexy some three weeks ago has been such as to entirely unfit him for the management of his business and there are many things that need immediate attention and which no one is authorized to look after. C. I. Griswold, of St. Joseph, Mo., a nephew of Mr. Gifford, was here Monday and discussed the matter with Harry Gifford, a nephew, and with F. E. Lewis, superintendent, and C. J. Hobbs, the chief engineer of the Chicago & Wabash Valley railroad, and with Tom Callahan, a long-time business associate and friend, and with N. G. Halsey, Mr. Gifford’s confidential clerk. No decided action was taken but it was agreed that it would be necessary to appoint a guardian without delay. Word was received from George Gifford, of Tipton, who has been Mr. Gifford’s legal agent for some time, that he found it impossible to be here that day, but that he would come Thursday of this week, and the probability is that the guardianship matter will take form at that time. Business is necessarily at a standstill for the present and there are numerous things to be looked after, including the settlement of the delinquent taxes, the lands for which are advertised to be sold in February.

MONTICELLO WANTS GAME PLAYED THERE

Will Try to Bring Rensselaer and Delphi Together on Neutral Basketball Floor. The manager of the Delphi Independente has written to Manager Tuteur asking for a basketball game on ‘ neutral floor, and suggesting Lafayette. Manager Tuteur has been unable to negotiate terms, owing to the physical condition of the team, which was so badly used up in the brutally conducted game at-Delphi. The team is further weakened by the loss of Ed Duvall, who is working at Indiana Harbor. It is probable; however, that negotiations will be opened to play the game at Monticello, and the Journal of that place states that Company C will pay all expenses of both teams if the game is played there. The game can be played any evening but Friday and Monticello asks a week to advertise the game if the terms are accepted-

PURTELLE WAS HERE AND GHOST WALKED

Interurban Promoter Dropped in on Hurry-Up Trip and Brought Joy to Employees. He came, he saw and he quite overcame the office force of the Indiana Northwestern Traction Co. The person who came was Eugene Purtelle. The persons who were surprised were C. W. Batthews, engineer; John Moore, assistant engineer, and Miss Harriett Landers, the stenographer. The cause of the visit and of the surprise was to pay the employees for their services for the past two months. Mr. Purtelle was here only between trains. He arrived on the 11:09 train from Chicago and took the 2:00 o’clock train to Indianapolis. He talked briefly to a reporter for The Republican, saying that he planned active building operations in the early spring.

YOUNG MEN DRUNK; SET FIRE TO BARN

■ ■ • Vigilants at Kouts Drench Them With Water and Order Them Never to Return There. A Valparaiso dispatch says: Following a day spent in drinkJng and a subsequent disastrous fire which they are said to have caused, two young men of Hebron, Ind., were made to “run the gantlet,” horsewhipped and chased out of the town of Kouts, with orders never to return. The men are W. W. Carson and Ward Miller, and are said to be members of well-to-do families in Hebron. After drinking until they became intoxicated they are said to have gone into an addition to the_ J. J. Kilday livery barn to sleep. Within a few minutes the upper story of the building was in flames. The barn is located in the heart of the business section of the town and only desperate work of the bucket brigade, the town having no fire department, saved adjoining buildings. The barn, together with four horses, forty tons of hay, several sets of harness and a quantity of grain, was destroyed, entailing a loss of $2,500. After the fire the fright which posessed the residents of the town at the thought of a conflagration was succeeded by outspoken expressions of wrath against Carson and Miller. These demonstrations soon resolved themselves into the form ing of a vigilance committee which sought and captured the two men. They were stripped to their waists, drenched with icy water while “running the gantlet” between two lines of people armed with filled buckets and finally given an unmerciful horsewhipping by a score of enraged citizens.. They ran and were followed and whipped until a point one mile from Kouts was reached, where they were released and ordered to keep going and never to return.

Bills introduced for Relief Of Officers for Bank Losses.

Senator McCormick has introduced bills for the relief of John BilL former trustee of Jordan township, and for A. A. Fell, former .trustee of Carpenter township, providing that moneys they had deposited in failed banks be refunded to them. Mr. Bill lost $525.26 in the McCoy bank and Mr. Fell lost $928.03 in the Parker bank. The Republican has always believed that officials should not personally lose any money held by them in trust and deposited in good faith in banks, by the failure of the mnks. The state legislature took the same view four years ago and several officers were refunded moneys lost in counties in the southern part of the state. The Republican pointed out that the officials relieved at that time were all democrats. The next year an effort to extend relief to 8. R. Nichols and A. A. Fell failed, because, well, apparently It was because they were not democrats, although the excuse was offered that too many were asking relief and the democratic pledge for economy had to be supported occasionally. The action in refunding some and refusing to refund others was a sample of preference legislation without a parallel. The law In force for the past six years places the responsibility for the of a depository for public moneys with advisory boards and in the event of bank failures the loss falls on the township, the county or the corporation. The passing of the law was an admission that the office holders should not be responsible and it should have provided for the refunding of those who had suffered losses. The practice, however, of relieving a few and letting the others bear their own losses is not right. Senator McCormick should make his bill include all who have suffered losses in this manner during recent years, and then let all suffer the same fate.
