Rensselaer High Wins From Wolcott High 38 to 6.

In a rather spirited game at the high school gymnasium Friday evening the local high school basketball team won from Wolcott by a score of 38 to 6. Neither ?id<? scored during the first four or five minutes, as the contest resembled an indoor track meet. But after Miller had scored from the foul line, the local team settled down and before the half ended had scored 20 points to their opponents’ 2. In the second half, although five changes were made in thedocal team and two in the Wolcott Hearn, the half ended 18 to 5 in Rensselaer's favor, thus making the final score 38 to 6 in the local’s favor. The game was fast and clean throughout and in no respect resembled the rough game with Oakwood a,week ago. Miller was the individual star, making 24 points for the locals. Of the five games played so far, the Rensselaer team has won four, the best record ever made in basketball by a Renpselaer team.

John T. Garvin, the colored farmer living near Monon, was in Rensselaer today looking after some business matters. He held a big public sale Wednesday and reports that there were a thousand people present and that prices were high and the sale a big success in every way. Mr. Garvin certainly advertised his sale extensively, placing the list in papers within a radius of many miles, even as far away as Logansport. His advertising probably cost him S3O, but that is not much in consideration of the big crowd he brought out and the prices he received. He is said to be a good business man and an industrious farmer, and he recently bought a half section of land near Monon. Heretofore he had been a tenant farmer.
