FAWLEY IS CAUSING TROUBLE AT JAIL

Xs In Close Confinement After Breaking Out Windows at the Jail—Undoubtedly Insane.

Edward Fawley, who beat up his wife so bad at the jail Saturday afternoon, is causing Sheriff Hoover much trouble. After the assault on his wife he proceeded to break out a number of the windows in the jail and last evening while exercising in the corridor, he again had a violent attack and with a mop handle he proceeded to break out other windows. He has now been locked in his cell a*nd will be kept there as long as he gives indications of being violent.

Sheriff Hoover- is convinced that Fawley is insane and should be sent to the asylum for the criminally insane. Fawley himself says he can not control himself and that he needs treatment. He has a scar on his forehead received by being struck over the head with a gaspipe during a fight, and this may account for his violent moods. He confessed to the sheriff that while working around the jail yard at various times he could hardly keep from killing the sheriff’s children when they did something that he did not like. He says that at times he is possessed of the mania to do violent deeds and can not help himself. He says he is willing to be sent to prison or to the asylum if he can only be assured of proper medical treatment. His violent attack on his wife Saturday was probably caused by her informing him that she intended to apply for a divorce. It would be a good thing for all concerned and save Jasper county much expense if Fawley could be removed to the asylum or prison for safe keeping. It was a mistake of the jury in giving him only a jail Sentence.

Sigler Bound Over to The Circuit Court.

Claude Sigler, arrested on the charge‘of burglarizing the residence of Fred Phillips, was given a preliminary hearing before Squire Irwin last evening. He entered a plea of not guilty and was bound over to the September term of the circuit court in the sum of S3OO. Bigler seemed indifferent to his fate and had no attorney to repre-

sent him. He says he does not care what they do with him so long as the matter does not get into the newspapers. The main evidence against him is the fact that a lot of pennies and ether change was found on his person, for which he can give no satisfactory account. Unless he can give bail he will have to lay in jail during the hot months.

ELKHART OFFICER WON BATTALION MATCH

First Lieutenant Otto E. Deal Made Best Score at Parr—Garland Was Not Present. The battalion rifle match held at Parr last week was not as successful as it would have been had. the date on which it was originally ordered been used. When the teams were ordered two days earlier than they had planned to come many of the contestants were unable to be present. South Bend was not represented at all. Sergeant Garland, the crack rifleman of the local company, was unable to ■attend the match because he was busy cornplanting. Renssealer did not fare very well in the match in consequence of Garland’s absence, and fifth place was the best secured by a local militiaman. The match was hotly contested at the first three ranges by First Lientenant Otto E. Deal, the battalion adjutant, of Elkhart; Sergeant Carl Hopkins, of Monticello; Sergeant John E. Robinson, of Rensselaer, and Second Lieutenant Floyd Tharp, of Monticello. At the close of the 300, 500 and 600 yard firing Robinson was tied for first place, with 135 points, Hopkins was third with 133 and Tharp was fourth. None of the other contestants were in the running. At the 200-rapid fire Deal made 45 points. Hopkins made 43 and Robinson’ fell down to 29. Tharp only got 28, having taken too much time, and the target being pulled when he had fired only 8 out of 10 shots.

Deal continued to hold up at the 300-rapid fire and so did Hopkins, and Tharp made a very good score, but Robinson again fell down. The order of finish was: Deal 224, Hopkins 217, Tharp 194, Vandeman 194, and Robinson 193. Lieutenant True D. Woodworth, Corporal Frank Ellis and Private Harry Eger all shot marksman scores, ranging from 173 to 180.

The regimental match will take place at Warsaw, on the range of Company H, on June 12th, 13th and 14th, when teams from the three battalions will meet in competition. A regimental team will be selected there to compete with the several other regiments of the state for the state team which will attend the national matches at Camp Perry.

Union Township Division Taken Under Advisement.

The petition for the division of Union township was filed with the county commissioners Monday afternoon. It asks that the township be divided in the center running east and west into two equal parts; that the north part be called North Union and the south part,be called Soqth Union. A large number of Unionites were present when the petition was presented. A number of the taxpayers of North Union are opposing the division, although a majority of the taxpayers of the township signed the petition. The commissioners heard arguments for and against the division and have taken the matter under advisement until the July term, when a decision will probably be rendered. A. Halleck appeared for those opposed to the division and W. L. Wood for the petitioners.

JAMES E. BRENNER GRADUATES FRIDAY

James Emmet Brenner, of Rensselaer, who has been United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md., the past four years, will graduate on Friday of this Week with high honors. After his graduation he will rank as an ensign in the navy, that being a corresponding rank to second lieutenant in the army,-and carrying a salary of $1,900 the first yeair, and an increase thereafter. His rating is such that he will practically have his choice of where he will serve and it is probable that he will select the Pacific coast. He may get home on a brief leave of absence after his graduation. His mother, Mrs. Carrie Brenner, is there and will remain until after he graduates. “Jim” is a self-made boy, and his friends here are pleased to hear of him “making good.” A copy of ‘The Lucky Bag,” the 1913 year-book of the academy, has reached The Republican. It is a 350-page book devoted to illustrations and write-ups of the academy. It has the following to say of Mr. Brenner;

“Here he comes, fellows—the first mate of the Tuscorora, in all his jovial dignity—the bunch is never together without our James. Ever since Younster Year, when his much-befloved Blanche collided with the English Dept., and departed Academy life, Soph has been inconsolable. It is only on the punctual arrival each Wednesday of that twelve-page packet from her—way out in Indiana—or when playing jokes on T. Shine, that Sophie forgets his sorrow. But pipe all hands for a rough house, and you’ll find him there. The reddest of Red Mikes looks pink beside Brenner—the hops are known to him o'nly by name, and his social duties are utterly neglected. ‘Sophie thinks that army life may suit him better, and likes to tell how he became a lieutenant in the National Guard, and developed that brace of his. He is proud of his class standing, being one of the few who realize that an earnest, hard worker is better off than a loafing savoir. A man of sterling integrity and steadfast purpose, Sophie is of the kind that make good.” •<

HUSBAND GIVES BLOOD TO SAVE WIFE’S LIFE

William Eldridge Submits to Blood Transfusion to Enable Wife to Undergo Operation.

Mrs. William Eldridge, living on a farm near Pleasant Ridge, who has been in a critical condition for some time past, suffering with an ulcerated liver, suffered a severe relapse, when the trouble caused a severe hemorrhage due to the rupture of the cause of her ailment.

So grave was her condition that her life was dispaired of and it was deemed imperative to operate immediately. The afternoon train Sunday was stopped at Pleasant Ridge and she was taken to the Wesley Hospital in Chicago. She was accompanied by her husband and the local physician. She was in such’ a weakened physical condition that blood transfusion was resorted to.

The artery in the Wrist of her husband was tied to the artery in the elbow of Mrs. Eldridge and the renewed strength this gave her enabled surgeons to operate Sunday night. The result of the operation is in doubt, but the latest reports from the bedside of the patient indicates a . favorable outcome for ultimate recovery.

HANGING GROVE.

Our commencement exercises will be held June 19 at McCoysburg. The band concert at McCoysburg Saturday evening was attended by a good sized crowd. The conceit could not be held right in McCoysburg on account of a typhoid fever case at the home of Korah Eldridge, near the store, so the band stand was pulled down west in front of the J. E. Ross home. -It seems that a good way for the public to show their appreciation of the band boys’ efforts, would be to erect them a band stand'. This could be done at a trifling cost and would save much time in pulling a wagon back and forth each time. Frank Eldridge, oldest son of Korah Eldridge,’is Quite critically ill with typhoid fever. He has been just about holding his own for the past few days. People quite generally got their money’s worth at the Spark’s circus, as Mrs. W. S. Lowman contracted a quite severe ease of bronchitis by getting her feet wet at the show grounds, and Mrs. R. L. Bussell was also taken sick last Tuesday with German measles, supposedly contracted at the circus or in town.

Mr. and Mrs. Rollin' J. Stewart, of Shadeland, came up Saturday for a visit over Sunday with relatives. Rollin states they are practically all done planting corn in his community. He said they just finished planting Thursday, and celebrated the 30th by autolng over to the Wild Cat creek for a fishing trip. R. W. Searight came out from Logansport Saturday afternoon and delivered an Excelsior motorcycle to Ed Peregrine. It is a 1912 model, fully equipped and has only been run a few hundred miles. Mr. Searight went to the home of Chas. Bussell to spent Saturday night and Sunday. Mrs. J. R. Phillips went to Morocco Thursday to visit her brother, Sam Robinson and family. She returned home Saturday evening, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Mary Robinson, also Mrs. Geo. Robinson, for a short visit. * Rural Carrier R. L. Bussell began taking his vacation Monday, which will continue for fifteen days. Substitute Carrier Chas. Bussell is serving in his place. Ed Cook and Miss Clara Ringeieen were married at the home of the bride’s parents in> Rensselaer, Sunday at 2 o’clock. This is the culmination of a happy romance, which began only a few months ago, and which was not unlooked for by their host of friends. Both are very popular young people in this locality. Ed is a conservative young farmer, and is ntaning the R. S. Drake farm this year. Their many friends will wish them a long and happy life together.

C. & E. I. Road Now In Hands of a Receiver.

Tuesday Wm. J. Jackson, of Chicago, vice-president and general manager of the C. & E. I. and E. M. Winters, of New York, were appointed receivers of the C. & E. I. railroad. The former to represent the operating department and the latter the financial department.

A stringent money market and a heavy increase in the cost of operation are alleged in the bill of complaint as contributing causes of the financial difficulties of the road. In addition to other debts enumerated in the bill, short time notes to the amount of $5,000,000 are due within a short period* The present tight condition of the money market, .it was said, made it impossible for the road to borrow and pay off the debts. The road has outstanding accounts payable to the amount of $2,600,000. The road has been put to high expense recently, too, on account of the floods along its lines and the coal mine strike.

The Chicago and Eastern Illinois is the most valuable part of the Frisco system. This property was bought in 1905. The common stockholders were given for each SIOO share $250 in Frisco certificates, issued, however, against the purchased stock. On this stock the company has been paying at the rate of 10 per cent. The common shares taken over amounted to $7,217,800. The C. & E. I. had outstanding at the time of the purchase of control $8,569,400 preferred stock, paying 6 per cent. The Frisco issued its certificates against this stock for par. The dividends on two classes of certificates are expected to be discontinued, and according to the terms of their Issuance the original stock will in the event of default revert to the certificate holders.

June to Be Month Of Storms, Says Hicks.

Prophet Hicks, in his forecast for June, says that this month of flowers and weddings will also be a period of storms and disaster. A reactionary storm period extends over the 2nd, 3rd and 4th. The barometer will rise and cooler, westerly winds will follow the storms from two to three days—say about the sth to the Bth. The first June seismic period covers the Ist to the 7th, having its center on the 4th.

A regular storm period involves the 6th to the 12th. This period is coincident with the annual magnetic and electrical crisis, which is at its center each year on and about June 11th. Its peculiar influence is noticeable from about the sth to the 15th, notably on the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th. Heavy storms of wind, rain and thunder will touch many sections in their eastward sweep over the country on and touching the 10th, 11th and 12th.

Much of the sheet lightning and the flashing from cloud banks around the horizon during June evenings, is harmless, although it may be very brilliant and startling. Such displays of electricity are usually without thunder and rarely, if even send lightning bolts. When they are in concentrated ' June thunder storms they are always intensely charged with vicious lightning bolts, and when they are in the near vicinity, the greatest care should be exercised against danger.

BASEBALL BOOSTERS MUCH ENCOURAGED

Reported Sale of Stock and Were Authorised to Increase Number of Shares to 75.

A very encouraging baseball meeting was held at the armory Monday evening and the stock soliciting committee reported that the fifty shares authorized at the original meeting had been sold in less than two hours and that there were quite a number of others who had requested that they have from one to two shares. The stockholders at the meeting Monday night decided to increase the number of shares to 75 and the committee will continue to sell stock up to that number, which will give a working capital of $375. The stockholders’ organization was completed. Geo. H. Healey was elected president, Herman B. Tuteur, secretary, and B. F. Fendig, treasurer.

A committee was authorized to purchase ten new suits, about the same pattern as the ones bought for the Wrens four years ago. Manager Kiplinger was r authorized to have the grounds put in good condition, filling in the diamond and having it rolled and the ground mowed, Also to see the owners of the grounds to have the fence and grandstand repairs made. Manager Kiplinger and Captain Wilcox were authorized to purchase balls, bats, gloves, mask, breast plate and other needed paraphernalia. B. D. McColly and W. S. Parks were selected as the grounds police, to see that there are no “moochers” at the games. Manager Kiplinger reported that he was in communication with several teams and that there would be plenty of games in sight. Monticello will probably be the first team asked to come. Monon, Lowell, Wheatfield, Goodland and other teams will also be invited later and it is probable that Wheatfield will be given the first chance for the Fourth of July game. The names of nineteen candidates for the team were mentioned and everything looks good for a winning organization. A team was made up by Charles Saidla and won a game at Mt. Ayr Sunday. One or two new players are said to have shown up that day and this gives added encouragement to the new organization. The team will have its first practice Wednesday afternoon and thereafter just as often as Captain Wilcox can get them out.

First Big Excursion to Chicago, Sunday, June 15th.

Agent Beam has been notified that the Monon route will run its first Chicago Sunday excursion on June 15th. The rate will be 75 cents for the round trip. The train schedule will be published later.
