Interesting Items From The Kentland Enterprise.

William Smalley, driving the little Packard, collided with a rig driven by Charles Wildasin Friday evening and soipe damagfe resulted. Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Schanlaub had as their guests during the week Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Nicholson, of Merrillville, Ind., and Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Spalding and son, of Chicago. Mr. Spalding a brother of Mrs. Schanlaub. j) Superintendent Dieter turned on the water early Monday morning. Three days were required to make the repairs to the boiler, but the shutdown served to awaken in the people an appreciation of the splendid •water service the town has enjoyed since the new plant was installed. Amos Pennigton, living on the J. U. Wildasin farm east of town, captured an eagle Saturday, after crippling it with a load of shot. He brought it to Kentland and placed it on exhibition at the Hess pool room. The bird measured over six feet from tip to tip. It had been in that neighborhood for several weeks and was feeding on poultry and young pigs. The state accountants who investigated the books of the auditor and treasurer during the past two weeks, find, we are unofficially informed, that the county is indebted to Albert J. Schuh, former county treasurer, the sum of about S2OO. Mr. Schuh was found long in his accounts during his first year in office in the neighborhood of S4OO, but discrepancies in favor of the county during the three years following cut this amount about half. While this will be a nice Christmas present for Mr. Schuh, we fail to see where ,the county is to profit for the forty-five hundred dollars paid out to examiners. The official report of the examination will be filed with the county later.
