RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, 1913.

CIVIL COURT Will TRY SERGEANT BALL

Militia Non-Com Who Shot Private Dowell Indieted for First Degree Murder Tuesday. Sergeant Edwin Rail, who shot Walter Dowell, who tried to escape after being arrested at Indianapolis Wednesday of last week, has been indicted by the Marion , county grand jury and held under a first degree murder charge without being admitted to bail. Since the morning following the shooting Sergeant Ball had been held by the military authorities at the camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison. Now lie has been returned to jail in Indianapolis. It is said that the grand jury inquired into the occasion for issuing ball ammunition at a militia camp in time of peace. One version was that Ball had procured the ammunition without authority and had loaded his revolver without orders. Another was to the effect that other guardsmen serving at the same time also had ammuntion and that they must have received it on the order of some officer. Two or three plans are proposed that may procure Ball’s release pending trial and it is quite probable that another effort will be made to have the jurisdiction changed to the military court. Dowelfs body was shipped to Madison Tuesday, being accompanied by a military escort of a sergeant and eight men. The funeral was to be held after the arrival in Madison of the remainder of the company today. A large crowd of people met the body of the dead> militiaman at the depot at Madison. left a wife and little son. '

Epworth League Convention Being Held at Battle Ground.

.Mrs. C. W. Porter went to Battle Ground Tuesday and Mrs. A. A. J tell and Miss Pern''Osborn® this Wednesday morning, to attend the Epworth League convention, which will remain in session over next Sunday, although the Rensselaer visitors will probably not remain that long. - - The convention is to be somewhat of an institute tor purposes of instruction. Of the work The Lafayette Journal says: The Epworth league is not unlike the Christian Endeavor movement n plan and purpose and today lolds an enviable place in the Evangelistic Held. It is a great aggregation of young people who hold special allegiance to the Methodist church and since its organization, many years ago, has widened the scope Of Christian effort and has accomplished Its purpose by the enlistment of a mighty army of young men and women who seek to make the world better and brighter. It was not organized to take the place of any other evangelistic agency, but rather to do a special work for the church and for the Master. The state meeting, now in session at Battle Ground, is a coming together of kindred spirits for the purpose of studying plans of work that the great organization may become a potential power tor good. Nearly every section of Indiana is represented In the meeting and the delegates and visitors are laboring to bring greater strength to the Epworth league movement. Those who think upon lines of Christian service are more and more convinced that young people must be trained tor aggressive work and that the hope of the church rests largely with young men and women who are not only trained, but consecrated workers. Yesterday was a great day tor the Epworth leaguers and for the cause represented by their movement

Many Ladies Dleightfully Entertained in Rensselaer.

Resourceful Kansas Man Turns Plague to Good Account.

The following clipping sent to Levi Clouse from Kingman, Kans., shows how a. resourceful Kansas farmer turned a grasshopper plague into a big benefit, saved his crop and has chicken feed stored away for winter use. Mr. Clouse does not care to stand for the truthfulness of the article. It reads: Elmer Mather, a farmer who lives near Burdette, has quite an extensive irrigation plant. He put in eighteen acres of beets, <hich were doing fine when they were attacked by the grasshopper plague. Mr. Mather procedeed on the work of improvising a trap out of a header and pans of water and crude oil. He not only saved the crop, but caught 119 bushels of hoppers, the greater part of which he has dried, sacked and stored away for chicken feed for winter use. An inspector from the Garden City beet district was looking over Mr. Mather’s beet patch not long ago, and estimates its value to be at least SIOO an acre.

Baseball Meeting Decides To Continue All Home Players.

At a baseball meeting held Tuesday evening it was deieded for the time, at least, to continue playing all home men on the Athletics ball team. All through the season the team has been particularly weak at third and shortstop positions. It is believed that Robinson or Harold Clark or possibly Louie Puttsmight develop into good inflelders, but inability to practice has made it impossible to deeviop them and an emergency exists at this time that caused a discussion concerning the future policy of the team. It was almost unanimously decided that the next game or two be tried with home men in these positions and when the Cattlemen’s Commercial team comes next Sunday it will be an all-Rensselaer team that faces them. It is possible that Morgan may get back In the game, playing his bld position at second, with Parks at short, although Parks may work at second and Morgan at short. Both have shown class at second and that position is filled in a manner that can not be improved upon. It has been decided to try Eldridge, the swift Rex-All player, in the game and he will probably be placed at third base. Conn has been unable to play much of the time because of the sickness of his father. He has. not Aided the short position very well and his batting has slumped greatly since the first game or two, his average as computed before lakt Sunday being .135. Robinson and Will Eigelsbach will be left for utility purposes and great hopes are entertained for both. Eigelsbach worked during the last inning of the Remington game, but did not get a chance. If Morgan is not able to play in the next game, owing to his injury, Eldridge will probably work at short and either Robinson or Eigelsbach on third. The team is making good financially and if all home players can be used there will be a substantial balance in the treasury at the end of the season, something that does not often result with ball teams in small places.

Clarence Smith arrived home today from a ten-days’ outing trip spent at Houghton, Mich., in the copper country on the north peninsula. He was with a party of Purdue friends. The temperature there was 70 to 75 during the day and cool enough tor an overcoat in the evening. Clarence thinks that the only bad thing about a vacation is that one has to go back to work after having one. His -parents, Mr. and Mra W. F. Smith, have loaded their household goods and today they wHI be shipped to Laporte, where they will take up their residence. Mr. Smith is at Laporte and Mrs. Smith and Clarence and Millard will drive through in their auto, starting either this afternoon or tomorrow morning.

Paul Worland is managing a team with a ferocious sounding name that will go to Francesville next Sunday to play a team at that place. The team is composed of Hines, catcher; Harold Clark, pitcher; Charles Rhoades, shortstop; Paul Worland, first base; Herbert Hammond, second base; Casey Hemphill third base; West, York, Beam and Long in the gar den positions. Francesville has promised a return game.

The Missouri Girl contains all the elements that go to make up an enjoyable evening’s entertainment—a good strong plot, with Intensely interesting dramatic situations, novel specialties, popular dances, the very best scenic and mechanical stage effects and the most ludicrous situations ever seen in one play. The company Is the pick of the profession; no “sticks” to bore you, but every one an artist in his line. This attraction will be seen at the Ellis Theatre, Tuesday, Aug. sth.
