Another Second Baseman to Play With the Athletics.

Another second baseman, who Is a pitcher also, is to join the Athletics for their game with |he Chicago Movies Thursday. Eddie Quille will again be on shortstop and Fitzgerpld, the new man, will work at second. He is reported to be full of “pep,” like Quille, and it is expected that these two will work wonders with the upbuilding of the team. Fitzgerald is a pitcher of ability and last Sunday struck out 12 men and allowed only 3 hits in a hard game. He will be prepared to relieve Clark in the box if that ever becomes necessary. Thursday’s game ha® been extensively advertised and a good crowd is expected. JThe moving pictures to be taken will be ready for exhibition within a week. The schedule of games ds now complete up to Aug. 23rd, as follows: Chicago Movies, July 9th. Wheatfield, July 12th. < Whiting Grays, July 19th. ♦ Chippewa Indians, July 23rd. Lowell at Lowell, July 26th. Chicago Jake Stahls, Aug. 2nd. Ockley, Aug. 9th. Goodland, Aug. 16th. Ockley, at Ockley, Aug. 23rd. It will be seen that all but two of the next nine games are at home. It is.the intention of- the management, backed up by some enthusiastic fans, to make the team a live one and to have good games. The ability to keep this up will depend upon the patronage and it is hoped a big crowd turns out for the Thursday game.

QUITE A SQUABBLE OVER FRANCHISE

Lafayette and Northwestern Asks For AU Roads in County—Must Define Their Route.

The commissioners of Jasper county have been undecided what to do in the matter of granting a franchise to a projected railroad known as the Lafayette and Northwestern. The leading promoters, O. L. Brown and Warner T. Elmore, the former from Terre Haute and the. latter from Remington, had prepared and caused to be published a franchise right to parallel and cross every highway in Jasper county, the franchise being exclusive for a period expiring Dec. Ist, 1916, or almost two and a half years away. The granting of a franchise on the broad proposition asked by Brown, et al, would sew the county up so that no other company could get a look in and the commissioners after some discussion Saw through the proposition and decided to limit Brown’s theatre of actions to a defined route, giving him two miles on either side of the range line road from Remington to Rensselaer or one mile on each side. Brown* accepted the proposed change' and Attorney Parkinson, for the Indiana Northwestern Co., the old Purtelle route, which now seems to be in substantial hands, asked that the franchise ’ e modified to say . that the granting of it did not restrain the commissioners from extending any franchise now existing nor from the granting of a franchise to any other company that might come in good faith and ask for a franchise. . - It was next decided to grant the franchise to the new company on the west side of the range line road. This would cause it to run west of the college and of Mt. Calvary cemetery and to avoid this the commissioners proposed to grant the use of the road in front of the college. Attorney Honan said he knew this would be objectionable to the college and it was proposed that the college faculty be.consulted and Commissioners Hershman and Welch, accompanied by Messrs. Brown and Elmore and County At-

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1814. -

O. G. BARRETT WILL GO TO STEUBEN CO.

Jasper County Will Not Hire Agent Until After Sept. Ist—Get a New Man Then. It was decided Monday by the county board of education to postpone the selection of a eounty agent until after September Ist, when the county council will meet to make appropriations and after; it has been definitely decided whether the decision of the supreme court affecting county agents is to stand or whether a rehearing will be granted. The council agreed to make the appropriation without being mandated if no rehearing of the Fountain county case is granted.

O. G. Barrett, agent of this county for the past year, will go to Steuben county, in all probability. He will be recommended to the .board of education there by Purdue University. Angola is the eounty seat of Steuben. Mr. Barrett is having his household goods stored and will leave them here until the call comes from there.

torney Dunlap went to the college to talk the matter over with .them. Monday there was a lively discussion and Attorney Parkinson sprung a letter from the Public Utilities Commission stating that no right had been granted to Brown’s company to sell either stock or bonds, although a request had been made and a hearing begun. The letter stated that all that could be done was to offer the stock or bonds for sale, subject to delivery when the consent of the commission was granted and that nothing could .legally be collected until the stock or bonds were actually delivered. v A near riot was precipitated and for some time it looked like the commissioners’ court might be disgraced with a fistic encounter. The Republican believes now as it has all the time that the people of this county don’t give a rap who builds a railroad, but that the commissioners should be very careful not to further the interests of

“Rex, the little seven-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Moore, was seriously and painfully burned Tuesday forenoon as a result of playing with matches and powder.

The explosion which followed severely burned his right hand, the right side of his head and face and both eyes. His shirt sleeve caught fire and badly burned his right arm clear to the shoulder. He ran toward the city park where some boys got him to roll In the dust and put the fire out.

“Rex was taken to Dr. J. 8. Gish’s office, who bandaged his arm and gave him what treatment he could for his other burns. The doctor staed that he believed the sight would be ell right
