PIECE OF BULLET REMOVED FROM BURNS

Man Shot By Posse At Schneider After Trying To Murder His Wife Has Been HI. Hugh Burns, who tried to murder -his wife at Schneider about three months ago, and who was shot by one of a posse of men while his wife lay quiet feigning death, was operated bn Sunday, according to the Hammond Times. Burns is in jail at Crown Ponit, awaiting trial for his attempt to kill his wife. He has been quite ill lately as a result of a part of one of the bullets being imbedded in the hone of one of his legs. Sunday Drs. Houk and Farley, of Crown Point, conducted an exploratory operation and located and removed the bullet. The wound had caused Burns excruciating pain ever since the injury was received. It is expectednow that he will he greatly relieved. His trial will probably take place in September, and Attorney A.

Resignation of Ambassador Wilson Accepted Monday.

Henry Lane Wilson, who was recalled from Mexico City recently to inform President Wilson and Secretary Bryan arid the congress about the conditions in Mexico, will not be a member of the U. S. diplomatic corps after Oct. 14th. His resignation has been accepted by Secretary Bryan. The policy of the administration in dealing with Mexico is at variance with the views held by the ambassador, so it is said, and it is thought possible that Mr. Wilson has not maintained the proper impartiality between the contending forces in Mexico and it has been suggested in newspaper articles that he may have known of the plan to overthrow Madera before the coup was pulled off. It is also quite certain that he favors the recognition of the Huerta regime, which the United States has very properly refused to acknowledge. Huerta is quite defiant, according to a note sent to the United States, and states that no form-of mediation on the part of the United States will he toleiated. The president'and Secretary Bryan ate said to have evolved a policy which they think essential for the United States to take and will announce its provisions within a few days.

A Busy Inspector Regulates Weights In Indianapolis.

In tjje city of Indianapolis there are some dishonest middlemen: It requires the greatest activity on the part of Isador Wolfson to keep regulated. The icemen give short weights, so dd the coal dealers, while the produce middlemen are the subject of constant discussion. They seem to put one over whenever the chance is good. This summer Mr. Wolfson has been devoting his time mainly to the icemen, hut a week or two ago while out on an ice weighing trip he spied a coal hauler and asked for the weight ticket and then had the coal weighed. It was some 200 pounds short of the amount the ticket called for. The dealer was fined. No honest dealer will object to your weighing what you get at your home and since a busy inspector has so much trouble In Indianapolis, it will not be amiss for you to have a pair of scales in your own home.

BUND TIGER NEAR THE CAMP GROUNDS

Preachers At Battle Ground Raided A Creek Joint and Got 23 Bottles Of Beer. s' Sunday morning two young ladies who were attending the Battle Ground camp meeting saw a lot of empty beer bottles scattered along not far from the camp. They decided to investigate and found ever so many more along the bank of Burnett’s Creek. They were frightened away by the appearance of two men and returned to the camp and reported their discovery to the ministers. Revs. McKenzie, Tillotson, Benson, Dick, Marshall and Charles Wood, the grounds keeper, decided to make an investigation and near the creek they found a sack containing 23 bottles of beer. They returned to the cAmp and while talking over the procedure they would take it is reported that the two men gathered up bottles they had stored at variplaces along the creek and moved them to another place. Later the men, Ben Oilar and Byron Church accosted Wood and demanded the beer, saying they had it for their private consumption, but hey did not get it. One of the ministers stated that it would be used before the grand jury. Sheriff Fisher and Prosecutor Hennegar were called and the beer taken to the jail. Sunday was a big day at the grounds and, it is presumed Oilar and Church were planning a big business. They will stand a good chance of getting fined or jailed or both and the young ladies deserve the credit for discovering them.

Adam Burns Died Sunday Morning At Lafayette.

Adam D. Burns, who lived in Rensselaer some years ago and worked for A. Leopold, died Sunday morning at 5:30 o’clock at his home in Lafayette, at 1600 Canal street. He had been in poor health for some time, suffering from hardening of the arteries, but had continued to work as a draymAn. Last Saturday he did some heavy lifting that caused him to suffer a stroke of apoplexy, and this caused his death a few hours later. He leaves a wife and several children, said to bejn a very needy condition. - Burns belonged to the Rensselaer order of Knights of Pythias and Keeper of Records and Seal George W. Scott, was notified of his death and informed of the family’s needs. The local lodge provides a payment of S3O in the event of death of a member and this sum will lie sent. Burns also belonged /to the Odd Fellows lodge f t Stockwell. His funeral took place Monday afternoon at his late home, burial being made in Grandview cemetery. Chancellor Commander Delos Dean and Frank E. Cox attended the funeral of Burns and report that his family was in quite destitute circumstances. Burns had been unable to. work, they were told, except at odd jobs for a long time. He had been drawing $1 per week from the local Pythian order and $1 per week from the Stoekwell Odd Fellows for a long time and this ssfems to have been about all the family had to live upon. Mr. Dean thinks that they had but two children, a grown son and an adopted, married daughter.

Parker of Oklahoma, a Choctaw Indian, recommended by both senators from Oklahoma and the congressional delegation from the state. Southern senators threatened a fight on Patterson.

Would Shift Democratic Blunder On Other Shoulders.

Foxy Brother Babcock would now claim that the utilities law passed by the last democratic legislature is. going to cause a raise in the local telephone rates, but that the trouble is all with the failure of the council to pass his pet telephone franchise and thus excuse a democratic blunder affecting the entire state. The Republican believes there is no person in Rensselaer so forgetful as to recall the exact proceeding in Bgb’s pet telephone franchise. It was just this: \ The Jasper County Telephone Co. wanted to get a new franchise at increased rates. The people objected and the newspapers presented the cause of the people. Babcock fathered a scheme for a new franchise and blew a bazoo filled with self-praise about busting the trust. The franchise was opposed by the Republican because one company is enough for one town at any time. The Democrat talked about cheap rates and promised that his company would give them. The ordinance providing the franchise passed to its third reading and one week before it was to have been passed its rates were changed to be the very same that the Jasper County Telephone Co. had asked and been refused. The Republican felt at that time and still believes that had the ordinance been passed the new company would have absorbed the Jasper County Telephone Co. and fostered the proposed high rates on Rensselaer. Babcock sued us for $20,000 libel for our expressed opinion and the city council very properly turned down the franchise, even members who had looked upon it with favor being against it when the provision for higher rates was slipped in. * Now The Democrat claims that The Republican is responsible for the possibility of higher rates, when as a matter of fact, it was the activity of The Republican in the interest of the people that prevented a merger that would have raised the rates the very day the new franchise was to have been granted. The new utilities law provides for fixing the physical valuation of public utilities and then allowing a charge that will guarantee the investment a' fixed rate of Interest and a fund .to overcame depreciation. The law was a move along the right direction, hut it was dominated by Tom Taggart, which looks suspicious and Indianapolis papers claim that its provisions Are so uncertain that great power is left with the commission and

that the commission is composed of men who are not very apt to give the people a square deal. The same law would have been in force and the same commission in charge if Babcock and his company had procured a franchise and the rates might have been higher, for the company would have undoubtedly done everything to show a high investment. Evidently Babcock thinks that tlfe people to whom he addresses his appeal can neither remember nor reason. The article has somewhat the appearance of hoping to Influence some of the original stockholders in his company in coming across with a part of the cost of incorporation, which The Republican is informed by a member some refused to do. One stockholder said: ‘To pay out SSO for the purpose of incorporating a company that had small chance of procuring a franchise or of ever engaging in business if it did, looks like putting the cart before the horse, and for my part I do not intend to put up a cent to pay for such foolish procedure. It will take a lot of front page articles for Bab to make the people believe that the defeat of his pet franchise; with its eleventh-hour raise of rates, had anything to do with the democratic blunderbus of a utilities measure for the uncertain quality of the commission that is to apply the aborted law.
