Young Man Started Rough House With Marshal Shesler.

Theo. Watkins, who lives in Rabbittown, was full of booze Saturday and when Marshal Shesler ordered him off the street he started to fight and the marshal found it necessary to shove him around lively for a little time and finally to throw him down before he could 'be subdued. His head struck on the cement sidewalk and this had the effect of quieting him and he was locked up. Sunday he pleaded guilty and was fined by Justice Bruner. His amusement cost him $9.

SOUTHERN REPUBLICS PROPOSE MEDIATION

Argentine, Brazil and Chile Offer to Interpose and Settle Difficulties With Huerta.

Martial Law at Vera Cruz Americans mobbed on Cars at Vera Cruz Causes Action Placing City Under Control of Troops—Advance Urged on Mexico City—Congress Said to Be More Warlike Than Before, Advocating More Positive Step Still Long Way From Settlement.

Brazil, Argentine and Chili, three South American republics, have offered to mediate the differences between the _ United States and the Huerta government in Mexico and it is undrstood that the dictator is willing. It is hardly probable, however, that they will, get together and the possibility of war still exists.' Some persecutions of Americans in the interior of Mexico continue to be reported, the most serious of which is that Consul General Hanna was imprisoned by federals at Monterey. He was released ajier two days, the rebels having procured his release, according to his report. Naval aviators reported that several bridges along the Mexican railroad between Vera Cruz and Mexico City were being burned.

“Eli and Jane” drew a good crowd Saturday night and the old play proved very enjoyable to all who saw it. Mr. Green went to Cincinnati Sunday to leave a big order for his show next season. He had designed, including the color scheme, some mighty attractive advertising for ‘The Town Fool,” which is to open here some time in August. Raymond Dunakin, his musical director, remained until today visiting Williard Hall, and today went to Farmer City, Hl., to join the Jack Percy Comedians.

Ed Peck, of Remington, is a member of the regular jury panel this .term of court. He will go to Valparaiso tomorrow as a delegate to the district convention. Moses Leopold, G. H. McLain, Frank Foltz, Ray Wood, G. E. (Murray, Delos Dean and G. H. Healey and probably others will also attend the convention. Most will go by auto to Francesville and thence on the special train that is being run from Lafayette. Mr. Foltz went this afternoon, having had .some business at Hammond to transact. We are unloading 2 cars of potatoes this week, one of early seed stock and one of late. We have reduced the price on seed stock. Get our prices and save money. JOHN EGER.

A jury in the United States court at Syraeusq N. Y., decided, in effect, that the occupant of an automobile who is injured by the breaking of a certain part of the car can recover damages from the company which assembled and sold the automobile rather than from the manufacturer of the part that broke. E. Wells Johnson, of Amsterdam, N. was awarded SB,OOO against a Detroit automobile manufacturer.

3 MORE DAYS LEFT OF THE FIRE SALE. AUCTION EVERY EVENING.

(Members of the Indiana Wholesale Grocers’ association adopted resolutions favoring 1-cent postage, the adoption of the universal metric system of measure, arid co-oper-ation with the government authorities in the fight for pure food, at the closing session of their fifth annual convention at the Hotd Severin in Indianapolis, Friday. The (members of the association expect to do all in their power to aid the authorities in stamping out all adulterated foods.

Howard Clark arrived home Sunday from Adrian, Mich, having been unable to make the pitching staff of the Adrian team in the Southern Michigan league. The manager treated him mighty well, however, and retained him a long time after some of the other pitchers had been let out. He found Howard all right in all respects except weight. Howard received a number of valuable pitching pointers and if he does not go elsewhere to play, Rensselaer will probably organize and start the ball rolling right soon.

All non-cambatants have been ordered to leave the city of Vera Cruz, Which is taken to mean that fighting there is expected. Indignities heaped on Americans, who were mobbed on cars is apt- to result in aggressive steps and Vera Cruz is now under martial law. Huerta is said to favor mediation. He offered to submit the matter to The Hague before the fleet was ordered to Mexican waters and the plan was refused. It is hardly probable that the good offices of the southern republics would be accepted now. Congress is said to favor a more active program as Wilson’s policy of waiting is not accomplishing any results. (While there 'has been nothing occur that has indicated a serious immediate result, the fact remains that the old condition exists and is certain to exist in’ Mexico until some substantial form of protectorate is undertaken. There seems no honorable way for the United States ttf withdraw now, as nothing has been accomplished. The next few days will doubtless witness little more than a continued persecution of Americans and the probable decision to guard the Mexican railroad after General Funston and his brigade reach Vera Cruz.

Mrs. L. B. Preston and son came Sunday from Minneapolis, Minn., joining Mr. Preston in this city. Mr. Preston has rented Mrs. Burr’s house on West Harrison street and his son has rented Bert Brenner’s house on River street. The son came here from Texas and will raise onions at Newland. The household effects of neither have so far arrived.

Parr defeated Shelby at baseball Sunday, the score being 12 to 3. Bay Wood and Jesse Brohard, of Fair Oaks, furnished the battery for Parr and held the visiting team runless until the Bth inning, when a series of fumbles let Shelby score 3 runs. Harvey Myres, the manager of the Parr team, was the big rooter and found an able assistant in Lew Moffit, of Fair Oaks, who has a line of talk that is almost as good as a bail game. Parr will return the game next Sunday.

John Morgan, who is helping Mr. Barber run the Kloethe fire sale at Piper City, Hl., was home Sunday, having come over in an auto with Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Glass, Mrs. Moore and Miss Mattie Schaffer, all of Piper City, who were Mr. Kloeth’s dinner guests at the Makeever hotd.

The iband gave an open air concert in the court house yard Sunday afternoon and it was very much enjoyed. Religious tunes were largely played. The first evening concert of the Season will be Thursday of this week. On account of the concert the stores which had signed an agreement to keep closed evenings on account of the revival meetings at the Presbyterian church, will be open.

Frank Timmons is here to look after some brick building jobs and will probably do the brick work on O. F. Parker’s new residence, also on the Central Garage extension. During the winter months he worked in Texas, his largest job being the building of four reinforced concrete bridges at Tyler, Tex. Recently he has been at Galveston and Houston. He also visited the camps of the U. 8. soldiers along the border and says there is considerable excitlment owing to the Mexican situation.

EDITOR BABCOCK WAS ON THE WAR PATH

Wanted to Fight Attorney Halleck and J. A. McFarland—Attorney Honan Halted Him.

Editor Babcock, of The Jasper County Democrat, had his fighting clothes on Saturday and his belligerent tendencies would qualify him as a “general” in Huerta’s Mexican army. That he escaped whipping any person or getting whipped himself is due to the activity of his attorney, E. P. Honan, who got in between he and the object of his wrath on two occasions. Both attempts are the outgrowth of a libel suit which J. A. McFarland, the grocer, who is the democratic city chainman, brought against Babcock, asking $5,000 for an attack made against McFarland in The Jasper County Democrat A feature of damage suits is the right of the defendant to make an examination of the plaintiff. The examination was setter Saturday morning at 10 o’clock, an hour when Mr. McFarland is busy at his store, and he desired that the examination be hastened along. Attorney Halleck, McFarland’s attorney, went to the office of Attorney Parkinson, who is assisting Attorney Honan to defend Babcock. He stated that his client was very busy and asked that the examination be made promptly. Babcock said that they were not ready and Mr. Halleck replied that perhaps when they finally got ready that McFarland would not be ready either. At this Babcock grabbed a chair and started toward Attorney Halleck, but he is said to have been careful to keep Attorney Honan between himself and the object of his wrath, who calmly awaited his advance. That feature of the morning’s combat was concluded without a clash, the editor not proving very hard to hold. -

Later the examination was held in the office of Court Reporter Wagner, in the court house. Mr. McFarland was under oath and had made reply to a question from Attorney Parkinson When Babcock called him a liar or a damned liar, reports seem to differ. McFarland replied by saying that Babcock, himself, was the liar and at the tame time Shedding his coat Babcock started to remove his coat but after getting it part way off he put It back on and grabbed a chair and started for McFarland, who got out his pocket knife and the gladiators stood for a moment, while Attorney Honan again sprang forward and halted his (bellicose client Babcock then accused McFarland of drawing his knife first and McFarland again called the editor a liar and the air was fairly blue for some time, but the principals found the stalwart form of Attorney Honan between them and there was no blood Shed. Mr. 'McFarland says that Babcock’s desire to fight is accompanied with a great deal of precaution and that he was very cautious not to assume an aggressive attitude unless his attorney was on hand to restrain him, giving his belligerency somewhat of a stage appearance.

The. libel suit was venued from Jasper county to Newton county and from Newton to Lake, and will be tried at Crown Point The objectionable article on which the libel suit is based charged among other things that MeFarand was not a fit man to send to the state legislature because “he did not have the moral stamina to withstand temptations.” The failure of McFarland to support Babcock’s candidacy for the postoffice was the chief cause of the disagreement between the two men. Other court items are as follows: CIRCUIT COURT. Mack Steel, upon warrant issued by the clerk, has been arrested and released upon bond in sum of SIOO. Trial is set for April 27th, 1914. The defendant is charged with unlawful hunting.

He was a guest of the packers at luncheon at the Saddle and Sirloin club. He said the operations were on a greater scale than he had imagined. John Childers, the popular auctioneer, was bitten by a vicious dog while at the home of A. L. Burkholder last week. The dog’s head was sent by Dr. Clauser to the state health board but no indications of rabies were noted.—Delphi Citizen Times.

W. Duvall is quite sick with pneumonia. She had an attack of the grip about three weeks ago and it is probable that the pneumonia resulted from exposure and grief during the sickness and following the death of her daugh-ter-in-law, Mrs. Earl Duvall. She is slightly improved today and indications point to her recovery.

Former Congressman Victor L. Berger, member of the executive committee of the socialist party, Friday issued a proclamation warning all socialists against taking a part in the war with Mexico. Berger said it would be telegraphed to President Wilson. The proclamation charges the war is being stirred up by capital in order that it may profit at the expense of labor.
