Rumors of Threatened Battle in Maple Grove.

Rumors were current on the street today of further trouble in the Harkrider-Hamilton affair. Orson Lewis, a brother of Mrs. Harkrider, is reported to have found Hamilton at the Harkrider home, and to have forcibly ejected him. It was also reported that challenges flaunted back and forth had provided for a meeting at the maple grove for a finish fight Monday night. Evidently the tale bearers have been busy, for The Republican could learn but little about the alleged trouble.- That the men had words is undisputed, but no further trouble occurred, so me have been informed. Lewis stood by his sister in her late trouble and doubtless feels that she should remove the “appearance of evil” by cutting acquaintance. Hamilton is moving to Plymouth and it is understood that Harkriders also contemplate moving away.

Body of School Teacher Shipped to Former Home.

John Bates, father of the young school teacher, Albert' Bates, who lost his life by the careless handling of a revolver by George Taylor, Sunday afternoon, arrived Monday afternoon from Metamora, near which place he resides on a farm. The body was prepared for shipment and the father left with the corpse on the 12:13 train Monday night. It will be buried at Metamora. The young man had graduated from the high school at Rockville, and had spent two summers at the Terre Haute normal. He expected to complete the normal course the coming’summer and to then take up the study of pharmacy. He was the oldest of three boys in the family. Of course, the fatherland mother and the younger brothers were shocked beyond expression at the young man’s tragic death.

LOOKS LIKE PLAIN CASE AGAINST THEM

Two Young Men Charged With Chicken Stealing Are In Jail Here—Caught at Wheatfield.

John and Clifford Archer, of Medaryville or near there, are in the Rensselaer jail on a charge of chicken stealing and the indications are that they are both guilty as charged. Last Saturday the two young fellows drove into Wheatfield with a buggy load of chickens which they sold and W. B. McNeil. Soon after they had left the owner of the chickens, who lives in this county, near Modaryville, arrived in Wheatfield and recognized the chickens as having come from his place. He got Marshal Swisher, of Wheatfield, and set out in pursuit of the young fellows and they were overhauled at Burroughs’ Camp, a tough joint where a licensed saloon is operated just across tins river in Potter county from Tefft. They were taken before Squire Van Doozer, of Wheatfield, and he bound them over to the circuit court and they were brought to jail here. It is said thatvone of the Archers works for the man from whom the chickens were stolen and that they paid over Jho money they received from the' chickens. They stand a good chance of getting a term in •the reformatory, which, next to a charge of shot, is about the best treatment for a chicken thief.

SAW BIG DREDGE THROW FIRST DIRT

Judge Hanan Came to Pass On Motions and Saw Initial Digging of Borntrager Ditch.

Judge J. W. Hanan came from LaGrange Monday evening to pass upon some motions in connection with the ditch and to make allowances for the superintendent of construction and to allow a number of hills. This business did not consume a great deal of his time and he decided,to visit the scene of the big dredge which is to dig the ditch he established as a special judge sent here almost two years ago on the appointment of Governor Marshall. He had just arrived at the ditch when the big dredge was ready to start and he witnessed the throwing out of thefirst dipper of dirt. The sight of the mighty boat in action and his connection with the ditch was very pleasing to the court and he left for Indianapolis on the 2 o’clock train pleased with the knowledge that he had been so instrumental in this big drainage improvement. Since his last visit hero Judge Hanan has been elected the Grand Master of the Masonic order in Indiana and this will take up a great deal of his time, and requires him to travel all over the state. He attends every cornerstone laying of Masonic buildings in the state and also mlany other lodge functions. Judge Hanan will continue with the Borntrager ditch case until the ditch is completed and this will require him to make occasional visits to this city during the next two or three years. The dredge will keep right at work now and those who have not seen the big flat boat or even those who have seen jt but have not witnessed * it in action, should do so while it is near town. The sight is well worth witnessing.

Hair Hints

This delightful sfnd invigorating hair tonic, which B. P. Fendig sells in a large 50 cent bottle, is guaranteed to quickly abolish dandruff —to stop hair from falling and scalp frorn itching or money refunded.

BAD MAN IN JAIL; CAME FROM KENTLAND

Jug of Bad Whisky Back of Assault On Marshal Which Might Have Resulted Fatally.

William Hollen, of Kentland, is serving out a fine of $25, which with the costs amounted to $35.60 in our county jail and after this is served out will be tried in Newton county on a charge of assault and battery on the Kentland town marshal. Hollen and another man named Denver Digger had been discharged from the C., I. & S. section gang by the foreman, Arthur Talbot, and both had been causing Talbot, much trouble. One night last, week Hollen went to Talbot’s house and demanded admittance. Talbot called for Marshal Rheude and Hollon left before the marshal arrived but the marshal soon found him. Hollen pleaded for mercy and promised to go home and behave himself and the marshal said he would let him go if he would not bother his family. He said he would go right to bed and askod the marshal to accompany him home and see that he made his word good. He was drunk and quarrelsome and the piarshal feared he might assault his wife and children and so —accompanied him home. Arriving there Hollen insisted on the marshal sitting down, but ho refused, saying that he did not come to visit at’that hour of the night. Hollen got between the marshal and the door and pushed the door shut and the marshal realized that he was in close quarters and when he started to go Hollen grappled with him and both rolled out of the door, which the marshal had succeeded in opening. LtoHen got his knife out and made a slash at the marshal’s throat, but fortunately the cut was little more than skin deep. The marshal was getting the best of Hollen when the latter’s wife and children appeared and begged for the marshal not to hurt Hollen and they succeeded in getting Him in the house. The marshal went home to have his wound dressed and then swore out warrants for Hollen and with Sheriff Dowling went to serve them, but Hollen had gone. Automobiles were used in hunting him and he was found the next day over near the state line. He pleaded guilty to the charge of drunkenness and the fine as above stated will keep him in"the jail Here for 36 days and he will then be tried on the more serious charge of assault and battery. Denver Digger, the other discharged section hand, was also fined tor being drunk.

CONFERENCE TO MEET AT PERMANENT PLACE

Decides to Stop Itinerary Practice and to Choose Location For Annual Meetings.

Cities of northwest Indiana are to hereafter be denied the pleasure of entertaining the annual conference of Methodist The conference is to be permanently located, undoubtedly at Battle (ground. The move is epoch-mak-ing in Methodism. It not not learned until Saturday-that Hammond was to be host to the last of the itinerent conferences. The sixtysecond gathering which is now in full swing marks the close of the circuit. Ministers are glad. Dr. P. C. Curnick, the originator, said: “It is getting more difficult each year for the churches to entertain this large conference and it will be better for it to locate permanently.” Despite the fact that other conferences are satisfied with the. old system the approval of the attending clergy was immediately affixed. A committee of one layman from each conference \ to act with a pastor with a view to locating the conference. The Battle Ground was sugr gested as the proper place. By this move the sixty-second northwest Indiana conference stands heads and shoulders above predecessors. The pastors who are to act on that committee are P. W. Hixson, Crawfordsville; P. C. Curnick, Terre Haute; P. A. Fraley, Hammond; M. C. Wright, West Lafayette; H. L. Davis, South Bend. The laymen are W. C. Belman, P. C. Evans, Dr. Oliver Gard and Joseph Allen. Another bit of interesting business was the granting of SSO salary to the secretary who during the sessions of a conference works night and day and is put to expense by incidentals.
