YOUNG MAN DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS

Ross Bringle Passed Away at .One O’clock Today at the Home nf Sergeant J. M. Sauser. Ross Bringle, 21 years of age, only "child of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. BringleT of Jordan township, a fine young man and a favorite with all who knew hjm, died at a few minutes before 1 o’clock this Wednesday afternoon at the home of Sergeant J. M. Sauser, a short distance southwest of Rensselaer. Most readers of The Republican are familiar with the young man’s sickness and will remember that about eight weeks ago he was taken to a hospital in Chicago with what appeared to be an obstruction of the bowels. Ha had been ill for about two weeks prior to being taken to the hospital and it was believed that the operation would restore him to health. The surgeon at the hospital, however, found after making an incision that instead of an obstruction there were ulcers of a tubercular nature and knew that an operation would be of no avail. As soon as Ross was strong enough to make the trip he was again brought to Rensselaer and taken to the # home of Sergeant Sauser instead of his own home in Jordan township. This made it possible for the attending physi(Continued on Page Pour.)

Arthur Tuteur'secretary of the meeting, and on motion of Elmer Wilcox it was decided to organize as a partnership with 50 shares of stock of a par value of $5.

Middlecamp Suit Against Doctors Being Tried Today.

The suit brought by John Middlecamp, of near Kniman, against Dr. I. M. Washburn, of Rensselaer, and Dr. H. J. Laws, of Crown Point, asking damages for alleged malpractice, was set for trial at Kentland today. About three years ago during the absence of Dr. Washburn in the west, Dr. Laws was associated with him and looking after his practice during his absence. Middlecamp suffered a fractured hip and Dr. Laws was called and set the limb. It is alleged that the limb was not properly set and that when Dr. Washburn returned home and his attention was called to the case he went to the Middlecamp home and found that the bone was not held in its proper place by the cast and that he called a specialist from Chicago and reset the bone and placed the limb in another cast. The limb is slightly shorter than it was normally and this is made the basis of an action for damages. Dr. Washburn is represented by Attorney George A. Williams and Dr. Laws came this morning from Crown Point with his counsel, M. J. Smith, and all went to Kentland for the trial. Middlecamp has his case in the hands of a Hammond attorney.

NIGHT OPERATOR BECAME ALARMED

Two Suspicious Characters Visitod Ross Hufford at Depot at 2 O’clock in the . Morning. Two suspicious looking characters gave Ross Hufford, the third trick operator at the depot, a bad fright Tuesday night and he is of the opinion that they planned to rob the depot. It was about 1 o’clock this Wednesday morning that Hufford observed the men at the west end of the depot and later in the rear of Mrs. Pennel’s restaurant. Finally one of them came to the outside window next to the railroad track and tried to engage Ross in conversation. Ross had taken the precaution to lock the office doors and to make it as difficult Sq, possible to enter that part of the depot. He also turned out the lights. While he was talking to the man outside of the window he was keeping an eagle eye on the south window as well and suddenly there appeared, in that window the figure of the other man. The window was closed and locked, however, and the man was unable to get in. Ross at once called the central telephone office andL asked that Nightwatch Critser hasten to the depot, but the nightwatch was not found for some time, or at least 45 minutes expired before he reached the depot, accompanied by Marshal

FREIGHT CARS OFF TRACK AT DEPOT

Three Oars of the. Local Freight Off Track and Delay of Several Trains Resulted. The northbound local freight train had considerable trouble here this Wednesday morning and held up four passenger trains while several cars were being pulling back on the track after jumping off and plowing along the ties and into cinders for a short distance. The trouble was started by a broken flange on a lumber car. That car went off the track but was put back on the track without great difficulty. The track had evidently been sprung, however, for as the train started to pull out three other ears went off at the same place. One of these was loaded with about 30,000 brick and it sank up to the trucks in the cinders and the “jumbo” wrecker had all it could do to place it on the track" again. The cars went off the track at about 8:30 o’clock and the track was not cleared until almost 12 o’clock and passenger trains Nos. 32, 5 and 37 and the southbound berry, special were delayed. Southbound passenger train No. 31, due here at 4:40 in the morning, also had some difficulty and delay, a drawbar pulling out.
