GRIDIRON BATTLE THANKSGIVING DAT

Coach Parker Expects Stiff Contest and Selects Line-Up For ' Season’s Close. . The annual Thanksgiving contest will be waged at Riverside Field tomorrow, and Coach Parker expects a stiff game with Bowen high school, of Chicago. While in the city the first of the week Mr. Parker visited the Bowen school and saw the squad at practice and he is convinced that Captain Worth McCarthy and his men have a real team to beat. During the week the finishing touches have been put to the red and black defenders and they are in prime condition for contest. Sam Duvall, who was injured at practice before the schedule of games was begun and who has been out of the game except ff>r short intervals since that time, will be back in the game and will play right half back, which will put Hanley back at end. This is expected to strengthen the team considerably, as Duvall was showing great speed and a good head when his accident occurred. The game is set for 2:30 o’clock, which will let all have time to eat their dinners and rest up a little before going to the game. ,Unfortunately the weatherman is not at all rosy in his twenty-four hour forecast and his prophesy is for unsettled weather with local showers. The scholars have been busy “selling tickets, however, and the indications are for a record crowd, which is saying a good deal, for Rensselaer makes a big event of Thanksgiving football. The college had expected to play a game on that day, but have decided not to do so, and it is probable that there will be a great many college students at the game. _ Coach Parker has furnished the following line-up for the Rensselaer boys: HGnan, center; Babeoek, right guard; Swain, left guards Hopkins, fight tackle; Lakln, left tackle; Hanley, right end; Groom, left end; Will Eigelsbach, quarterback; Duvall, right half; McCarthy, (Capt.i left half; Miller, fullback; Wilcox, Phillips, Carl Eigelsbach and Moore, substitutes.

Notes of the Jasper Circuit Court.

Civil—The case of the Manhattan Lumber Co. vs. Crumpacker, et al occupied the attention of the court Tuesday. A large number of clients as well as attorneys were present during the proceedings. The issues nave been closed now and the further hearing of the case is set for Decern ber 15th. The point of vital importance in this case is to determine whether or not certain defendants can be held individually, as well a copartnership, for the reason that the property, is in itself not worth enough to satisfy the claims; aiftk the only hope of fully recovering is to secure personal judgments. The question arose yesterday when Peter Crumpacker, John A. Uavit, and other defendants, filed an answer in two paragraphs to the second paragraph ot plaintiff’s complaint. The first paragraph was a general denial and the second alleged in substance that the contract alleged to have been entered into, as set forth in the plaintiff’s complaint, as between the defendants and the Manhattan Lumber Co. was in fact not a contract at all, for the reason that it was not signed by all the defendants, who had agreed to sign the same; and that the Lumber Co. knew that the other defendants who did not sign the same had agreed to do so and that the contract would not be effective until all parties had signed, the same. The plaintiff filed a demurrer to this paragraph of answer qnd the attorneys proceeded to present their authorities to the court, bearing upon trie legal proposition as to whether or not a contract such as mentioned above, constituted a contract in legal effect. After hearing the arguments of counsel, the court overruled plaintiff’s demurrer, which means that the facts set-up in defendant’s;, answer, if true and proven at the trial, would not constitute a contract at all, and that the parties who signed same cannot be held personally liable for the lumber and materials purchased of the plaintiff. The attorneys for both sides all agreed that if the plaintiff could prove the allegations of the. first paragraph of complaint, that is, that the defendants constituted a co-partnership, that every member of the co-partnership could be held personally. It is all a question of proof. If the plaintiff can prove that a partnership existed’, then the individual members of the partnership can be held, -if the plaintiff fails to prove a co-part-nership, but can prove the allegations of his second paragraph of complaint, based upon the alleged contract, then the parties defendant may he held as individuals, but failing to do either of these the plaintiff will fail unless he can show that the acts of the defendants who did not sign the supposed agreement, constituted a ratification of the acts of those who did sign; or that the defendants not signing are estopped to deny the contract, having accepted%he Jumber and materials and used same in the construction of the building at the 'race track. if the plaintiff fails to show either a partnership, a contract, a ratification or an estoppel, then it will be compelled to take satisfaction of its claim from the property of the race track, which is admitted to be worth not more than one-fourth of the claims against the same. But if the plaintiff can show a partnership, a contract, a ratification or an estoppel, then it can hold the individuals and as the defendants are financially responsible as individuals, the full amount of the claims could no doubt be recovered.

The case of Strong vs. Werner is being tried today before a jury. The jury had been notified not to return until Friday, the court thinking that the Manhattan Lumber case would occupy the time of the court on Wednesday and Thursday, but upon said case being continued by agreement of the parties until a date in December, the jury was again notified to be present tdday. The Strong-Werner case is an action to quiet title, and there is a dispute between the parties relative to the line dividing their lands. J. H. Chapman represents the plaintiff and W. H. Parkinson the defendant. G. A. Williams is also assisting the defendant and thereby representing parties who may be affected by the warranty in the deed to Werner in case Strong is successful.

Probate—S. C. Irwin, Admx. of the estate of Mathias Yeager, files final report and cause set for trial on February 9th, 1914. William (Bud) Hammonds, by his attorneq, G. A. Williams, has filed a petition, in the estate of Bryant Hammonds, deceased, alleging that the widow, who is a second childless wife, and the deceased, during his lifetime entered into a written agreement, whereby the widow was paid a stipulated sum of money as her interest in her husband’s estate; and asks that the administrator, J. A. Dunlap, be directed not to pay over any money to the widow in distribution of the proceeds of said estate, until the matters aleged in the petition may be heard by the court, in order to determine whether or not she is barred by said alleged contract from further sharing in said estate. Largo, white, solid Oysters; always fresh at Fate’s College Inn.

TWENTY-TWO HOMES MADE THANKFUL

Ministers Spend Forenoon Distributing Thanksgiving Provender Among Worthy Poor. The; Thanksgiving entertainment Tuesday night proved a splendid succes&»in two ways. The program was excellent and well rendered and the offerings of our generous people proved sufficient to carry out the annual scheme*of assuring a good Thanksgiving dinner in every home. One hundred jars of fruit, 40 glasses of jelly, many other things to eat and over S4O in money were contributed at the Presbyterian church by those who attended the entertainriient. The pastors of the Presbyterian, Christian and Methodist made purchases and distributed the provinder to twenty-two homes this Wednesday morning. Each hoine received a chicken, a 25-pound sack of flour, a peck of potatoes, two or more cans of fruit, glasses of jelly, some apples, and other* things at the direction of the ministers. Some received sugar, others canned corn and at each home there was left two filled baskets besides the chicken and sack of flour. This should mean that in every home there will be thanksgiving of the proper spirit tomorrow in every home in Rensselaer. It is probable that there are few cities in all the length and breadth of our land where on Thanksgiving day there is so general cause for happiness and rejoicing. In this connection The Republican wants agai nto call the attention of all to the union service of Thanksgiving at the Christian church evening at 7:30 o’clock. Dr. Paul C. Curnick will deliver the sermon.
