ENDORSED AT HOME.

Such Proof as This Should Oon- _ / vince Any Rensselaer Citizen.

The public endorsement of a local citizen is the best proof that can be produced. None better, none stronger can be had.

BROUGHT TO JUSTICE BY SQUIRE BUSSELL

Reluctant Groom Induced to Accept Matrimony as Best Way Out of Serious Trouble.

Squire Charles W. Bussell, of Hanging Grove township, believes that the best ends of justice are often subserved by settling cases in his court in a way that brings peace and equanimity and makes no sacrifice of the law. A ease of this kind was settled this Wednesday morning when at 10 o’clock he performed the marriage- of Gaylord Hilton, aged 22 years, and Maggie Curtis, an orphan not yet 17 years of age. A baby girl bom three months ago to the Curtis girl was the direct cause of the marriage. The baby is now very sick with pneumonia and whooping cough ht the home of George Lambert, of Gifford, a relative of the gir|-mother.

At about 1 o’clock this Wednesday morning Squire Bussell was routed from his bed by Geoige Lambert and Judson and Guy Zook, of Gifford. They swore out a paternity charge against Hilton and informed the court that he was making ready to skip out. The court deputized Jud Zook as a constable and he set out for Kniman and found after his arrival there that Hilton had gone. He set out in pursuit and overtook Hilton some 10 miles northwest of Kniman. He served the warrant and took Hilton before Squire Bussell, where he was soon given to understand that the best way out of the dilemma was to make the girl his wife. He agreed to this and the girl waited at the Bussell home while the constable accompanied Hilton to Rensselaer to get a license. The marriage followed and with the blessing of the court the,bride and groom set out for Gifford to establish their home.

MINISTERS VISITED CEDAR LAKE RESORTS

In Roll of Detectives They Secured Evidence to Be Presented to Lake County Grand Jury.

Lowell ministers, in -the roll of detectives, visited Cedar Lake Sunday and procured evidence which will be used before the Lake county grand jury in securing indictments against saloons and resorts which run open there seven days in the week. It is said there were a large number of Chicago people at the Lake Sunday and that the bars were open all day. The ministers made the rounds and found that there was no pretense at law observation. Tt is said that the movement Sunday was the first of a number of steps that are to be taken to clean up Cedar Lake and that the free and easy going is to be stopped and the place made respectable. A law and order league is eaid to have been formed in several townships in Lake county and that they are behind the movement to reform the lake, which has the location and natural scenery to make it a fine summer resort. It was recently announced that the Moody Bible Institute contemplated leasing the Monon park, which is on the west side of the lake, and establishing a Chautauqua there. They would 'be unwilling to do this if the east side is to continue to run its disgraceful dancing platforms and wide open saloons. The clergymen say they have secured evidence sufficient to put the saloonkeepers out of business.

Professional Notice. I ..will be absent until July 15th, attending surgical clinics at Mayo Bros.’ hospital In Rochester, Minn. -Dr. Cl E. Johnson.

“Mrs. Emma Isfort, aged 31 years, widow of the late Henry Isfort, and Alva E. Barnum, were both drowned Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock in a deep hole at the foot of the north pier o's the Heaton street bridge, spanning Yellow river. The town was shaken as never before when the little son of Dr. Bell, clad only in a bathing suit, ran through the streets to the office of Dr. White & Bell and called out that the little Barnum boy and Mrs. Isfort were in water at the deep hole. The town was full of Saturday shoppers, and in a few minutes hundreds of people had rushed to the scene of the double tragedy. Marshal Lohr and Alva Grindle reached the spot in a few moments after -he woman and boy sank in the reachenous waters, but the children were so excited they could not tell exactly where the bodies disappeared, and efforts to locate them had been unavailing. The two men were still dragging the tufibid depths with a loop of barb wire when additional help arrived. A number of men threw off their clothing and began the search. One of the first to plunge into the water was Edward Fawley. He is a powerful swimmer, courageous and cool-headed. The water was slightly roiled because of recent rains. Mr. Fawley dived the length of the hole, which is about twenty feet long by five feet wide and seven and a half feet deep. Owing to the turbidity of the water Mr. Fawley could not see distinctly, but he did observe a spot on the bottom of the hole, close up to the pier and near the center of the bridge. He swam across to the pier and let himself sink into th a wnGir-until eyruxs rnw w*v Wuvvi ujivu iis foot touched a human form. ”hen he reached down and siezed Mrs. Isfort by the hair and raised quickly to the surface with her.

Isfort, twenty feet away, but all efforts proved futile Their bodies were still warm, having been in the water perhaps not over twenty minutes. The 'best scientific methods were employed to expel the water from the lungs and Induce artificial respiration, but the spark of life had fled for each of the victime, and after half an hour of tireless effort, the workers sadly lifeless form was placed in waiting cars and conveyed to town, Isfort to the Jones undertaking rooms. The procession which wended its way from the scene of the double tragedy back to their homes or their places of business, was beyond doubt the saddest our little town has ever seen.”
