Bolcourt has been with her mother, Mrs. William P.

They are not yet decided in what state they will locate but probably in New Mexico or Arizona. Albert Swing, of Francesville, was in Rensselaer for a short time this morning, having come up from Lafayette where 'he visited his son, Charles, of Hanging Grove township, who is still in St. Elizabeth’s hosptal. He reports that the surgeons who reipoved Charles’ left eye found an inch of the whip cracker embedded back of the eye ball. The accident occurred about as reported in this paper except that Charles was not riding a horse but was using the whip to drive some horses into the bam, The horses were running about and Swing cracked the buggy Whip at one, the lash lapping about the animal’s neck and the end of the cracker snapping off and striking his eye with almost the force of a bullet. It passed through the render eyelash, through the lower part of the eyeball and was embedded back of the eye. He will be supplied with a glass eye later. It was thought possible when Mr. Swing left Lafayette that his son could leave the hospital Saturday, although there was some doubt about him getting out that soon.

"TIGER" DEN RAIDED AT MONTICELLO

Ten Dozen Bottles Export Beer and Other Things Found and All Wet Goods Confiscated. Friday evening as people were going to supper City Marshal Dobbins, assisted by Sheriff Downey, made a search of J. O. Wingerd’s soft drink emporium on West Washington street, next door east of the Colonial Case. They discovered a plenty. The inventory reads as follows: • ' 5 full barrels marken “Ten dozen small bottles Export Beer.” 4 full barrels of wet goods unmarked. 1% barrel labeled “Tip-Top.” 1% barrel, bottles packed in paper cantons, no labels on bottles. 1 quart supposed wine. 2% quarts supposed wine. iy a keg supposed wine. Those who have made such investigations and ought to know, say that there Is no question that a part of the stuff is genuine beer. Ray O. Wickham, of Remington, is the one that filed the affidavit on which the search-warrant was issued and the search made. There had been rumors for some time that Wingard was not walking in the straight and narrow path in the way of liquor selling. He has been accused of selling quite often before and has had convictions against him. Time and again a bunch of “booze lusters” in town, when they were arrested, have made him come across and put up bail or pay fines, convincing those in the know that they had some hold on him.- It is to be hoped that the present case will wind up the carreer of such establishments in this town, It is all right to keep some kind of a room where men can congregate, smoke and chat, but let it be run according to law.

Dancing Lesson and Assembly.

New Suilt Filed.

Clinton Brown vs. Granville Moody, Charles P. Moody and Robert A. Parkinson; nature of action, an accounting. John A. Dunlap, attorney for plaintiff. The Morocco Courier is honest enough to give a true report of the democratic conventions, county and district, which seemed a difficult thing for most democratic papers to do. The county convention held at Morocco was attended by 95 and 80 of these voted the Murphy ticket, while only 15 voted against him. Several democratic editors seem to let their prejudices and not their reason control them in reporting to their clientele of subscribers things that happen within the party ranks.

Cornwell and Charles V. May, of Remington, attended the meeting Wednesday and were accompanied here by their wives, who will help to make the Rebekah meeting a fine success.

Lowell H. S. Given Severe Drubbing by Soldiers.

The light but scrappy Lowell team met defeat at the hands of ■' e basket tossing fiends of Co. M o yesterday afternoon at the armory by the onesided score of 75 to 16. The Lowellites were slipped the K. O. in the first few minutes of the battle and from that time on they were never in the game. Kirk hooped the first one after about two minutes of play and Putts followed with another and then Clark came through with three more before the Lowell lads scored. The superior weight and height of the militiamen were the reasons that the northehders were never in the game, but they will probably hold their own with any high school teams that they meet. The game was free from fouls, but two being called on Lowell and four on Co. M. The first half ended with 33 to 9. Roy reployed Morgan at the beginning of the second half, but the scoring went on just the same. The Lowell lads were a fast, clean, gentlemanly bunch of players, but were simply outclassed. Baskets, dark 14, Kirk 13, Putts 9, Morgan 1, Sisson 2, Weaver 2. Dahl 2. Free throws, dark 1 out of 2. Weaver 4 out of 5. Referee Sharpe. Line-up: Co.
