Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 132, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 June 1913 — Union Township Division Taken Under Advisement. [ARTICLE]

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.

The patrons of the Wallace Theatre Monday night were treated to a surprise when The Westons presented their unique act They were both 'very clever and Miss Weston made a big hit in her climbing the ladder of sharp swords. She is very dainty and neat, and the audience was more than pleased with her clever work. The Westons appear* again tonight—Lafayette Courier. At the Hayety tonight
