FEES OF SHERIFFS AND CLERKS FIXED

State Board of Examiners Decides Case in Vigo County of Interest in AU Counties.

Indianapolis. July B.—The state board of accounts this afternoon gave an important opinion bearing on the Question of what fees may be retained by sheriffs and clerks of courts of the various counties. The opinion was given to advise field who are examining the records in Vigo county, but it applies to practically every county in the state. The board holds that neither thC sheriff or clerk is entitled to a fee for attending sessions of probate c ommissioners, that they are not entitled' to a per diem fee for attending sessions of the juvenile court on days when the circuit court is in session, that fees for attending sessions of the circuit court may be allowed only for days when the court is actually in session and that a sheriff Is not entitled to extra compensation for the care of insane patients other than a reim- . bursement for any expenditures he may make. It also decides to consider the act of the 1913 general assembly legalizing the collection of certain "in and out” fees, as constitutional until it is otherwise held by the court.'

Friends of Wm. Blankenbaker Celebrate His 68th Birthday.

In - commemoration of the 68th birthday of Wm. Blankenbaker in the village of Parr, a great feast was held in the leafy grove, where a long table spread to the bending point with the beat the land affords was surrounded by more than a hundred friends, relatives and neighbors. They certainly did justice to the edibles-without fear or favor or choice of selection. There was plenty and to spare and there were 12 basketsful gathered up after the feast. Uncle Bill went to church at Rosebud i as usual and on'returning found the woods alive with trespassers and his bulldog locked up in the wagon shed. He made a short speech of welcome in which he stated that he was completely and agreeably surprised and had not been so nearly rounded up since a previous event 23 years ago. Photographs' of the champion feeders were taken and a group snapshot when developed will reveal the'entire company.—A Member.

MRS. LLOYD PENICK SHOT MISS EUBANKS

Colored Circles of Fowler Scandalised by Use of Pistol by Infuriated Woman on Street.

Fowler, July B.—Colored circles were very much agitated this after noon at 5 o’clock when Mrs. Lloyd Penish shot Miss Sal lie Eubanks in the left thigh. Early in the day the women had exchanged angry words. Miss Eubanks had asked Mrs. Penisk to caution her husband about making advances to the former. This request offended Mrs Penick, who was loyal to her husband, and could not believe that he would do what Miss Eubanks claimed he had been doing. Just before‘the shooting, Miss Eubanks with her sister, started for the home of her sister, Mrs. John Jeffries, another sister. Her course took her past the Penick home. Mrs. Penick saw her coming and ran for the gate. ‘Take back those names you called me,” she demanded in angry tones.. v - “You called me more names than I called you,” retorted Miss Eubanks. Then Mrs. Penick raised a pistol and fired, the bullet lodging in Miss Eubanks’ leg. She was preparing to fire again when her mother-in-law, Mrs. William Penick, interfered. Dr. LaSage was called and extracted the bullet. The wound

ATHLETICS TO PLAY WHEATFIELD SUNDAY

John Bowie’s Regulars Are to Be the Attraction at RiversideComing to Win.

John Bowie’s Wheatfield Regulars are to play ball with the Athletics next Sunday and Manager John Bowie says they are coming down to take the measure of the reconstructed Athletics. Wheatfield fans say they have the best team they have ever had, not excepting the team Dr. Zeuch managed a half dozen years ago. Wheatfield is baseball wild and a lot of fans will come here to see the game Sunday. Manages Bowie has had splendid success in getting the team organized on a solid footing. He has had lots of material to draw from and has certainly weeded it but until now it is a strong organiza-,

is not serious. Mrs. Penick wa* arrested and was given a prelimin ary hearing before Justice Peterson on the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. She was bound over to the circuit court and the SSOO bond was signed bv her father-in-law. --

tion. Mr. Bowie is some kldder, you know, and he informed fans here Wednesday that the Athletics’ new imported infield did not worry him a particle. He says that his batters are paying their respects to the outfield and that he has more 300 hitters than were ever gathered together on a Jasper county team. Last year Wheatfield played the Athletics on July 4th and the score was 6 to 5 in favor of the Athletics. Both had all home teams at that time. Since then a strengthening process has been adopted by both teams and Sunday’s game should be a ’ great improvement over the one of last year. -i—— Rensselaer’s new infield is composed of some semi-professional players that look equal to holding the positions in a manner to suit all admirers of baseball. Quille proved himself at short last Sunday and today Fitzgerald is at second base and “Chuck” Rhode, of Hammond, at third. Rhode played sensational ball with the Hammond team here earlier .in the year, making a home run wallop and proving such a live wire that fans have been asking that we get him ever since that time. He telephoned Wednesday that he would come down for the Thursday game and an effort will be made to secure his services for the balance of the year. It is possible that Fitzgerald will pitch part of Sunday’s game, but Clark will be in the box if he is in condition after today’s hard game with the “Movies.”

COUNCIL PROVIDED FOR NEEDED BRIDGE

Made Appropriation of $5,000 For Bridge Acron Iroquois Ditch at Work Street. The council council in session the first of the week made an appropriation for a bridge across the Iroquois ditch. at Work street, for which a petition was so generally signed by Rensselaer people several weeks ago. This will give us a bridge at a place very much needed and will prove of great convenience to both vehicle travelers and pedestrians. The bridge will be at the crossing near the H. R. Kurrie property, for which the approaches were made several years ago. The specifications call for a span of 80 feet, with a 16 foot roadway and a 5-tfoot sidewalk on each side. It is probable that the bridge can be completed yet 'this fall.
