TONIGHT AT THE PRINCESS The House of Features “ THE TREY O'Hearls" SHOWS 7,8, 9 Howard Clark and Don Beam went to Chicago today to see the fourth of the city series between the Cubs and the Sox if the weather was favorable to the game. The Cubs have pow won two and the .Sox one game. In New York the Giants and Highlanders have each won one game and in St. Louis the American league -has won two games and the Cardinals none. Soaked with rain, spattered with mud and having the appearance of wharf rats, eighteen motorcyclists from the North Shore Club, of Chicago, arrived in Rensselaer shortly before noon today, stopped for dinner and repairs to their motorcycles and then with heavy hearts started on tojvard Kokomo. The club had planned an endurance run to that city and back, the return trip being via South Bend. Thirty-two had started but fourteen had fallen by the ditch side before Rensselaer was reached and the others looked as though they regretted the start. The club was traveling three cars in a team and only two of the teams had a’perfect schedule when Rensselaer was reached.

Secretary Bryan’s Roundabout Way of Getting Endorsement.

William Jennings Bryan spoke at Monticello and Lafayette today and Tom Callahan and E. P. Honan, of Rensselaer, and Andrew Misch and Alex. Rath, of near Wheatfield, went to 'Monticello to hear him, while Bruce White and Joe 'Davisson went to Lafayette to hear him. Secretary Bryan is talking national issues. He is careful not to give endorsement to the Taggart-Fair-banks ring in Indiana, but says that-4t is necessary to support the local democratic ticket in order to hold up the hands of President Wilson. It is unbecoming of Secretary Bryan to urge support for men whose conduct he does not approve and we are of the opinion that, just as there are many outside of the democratic party who are great admirers of President Wilson, so are there many democrats who will not regard it necessary to support corrupt state candidates and state conditions ip order to signify their approval of President Wilson’s administration. Mr. ‘Bryan could have made friends for himself and the president if he had had candor to denounce the corruption of the men in this state who would dump h/ and the president in a minute if they could further their own selfish ends by so«doing. The visit of Secretary Bryan should not influence a person to confuse the state issues with the national ones. We believe that democrats throughout Indiana are going to support Senator Shively, that Congressman Peterson will lose a good many democrats because he lacks ability to cope with the diplomacy of his job and because he supported the mileage grab, but these are the only men whose offices Secretary Bryan could consistently say have anything to do with an endorsement of the Wilson policies. The state conditions sorely need a change and there is no argument in saying that it is necessary to elect democrats in order to sustain Mr. Wilson. The sooner the yoke of the Taggart-Fairbanks crowd is cast off by the democratic party in Indiana the sooner will men of high standards like President Wilson and Sec--retary Bryan increase their hold on the people of the nation Secretary Bryan knows this and he should have the courage to plead his casefirst hand instead of asking that corrupt things be supported in order that a good thing shall be endorsed.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1914.

JURY DISCHARGED IN HACKSHAW CASE

Spent Night In Deliberation About Shooting Scrape Which Occurred in North Jasper. The case of State of Indiana vs. John Hackshaw, charged with assault with intent to commit murder was begun before a jury on Friday forenoon and occupied the attention of the court during the balance of the day. The prosecuting witness, Ed Mutchler, whose farm adjoins the defendant’s farm, testified that he was repairing a fence and heard a rifle shot pass near his head and upon raising up he saw Hackshaw standing about 25 rods distant with a gun pointed toward him; that he then yelled at the defendant not to shoot but that he then fired two additional shots; that the defendant then came up to Mutchler carrying his rifle at his side; that Mutchler then told defendant that he would have him arrested and that defendant warned Mutchler not to\ bother his fence and that Hackshaw then went back toward his Jiouse. Mrs. Mutchler testified to hearing the shots but did not see Hackshaw in the act of shooting.

The defendant testified that on the morning in question he went to a neighbor’s house and told him that if he would come over he would give him some pigs just bom the night before. That his neighbor, "Yocum, then came back with hdm and on reaching defendant’s barnyard they noticed the chickens coming down the hill from the grove and they discovered a hawk flying into the grove. That the de fendant and Yocum then went to the house and defendant got his rifle and coming out of the -house they saW the hawk fly from the timber across the cornfield. That de fendant then fired several shots in . rapid succession at the hawk. That then the defendant went up over the hill and Yocum remained at ttie house. Defendant then went down the hill where he saw Mutchler fixing the fence. Mutchlsr’s and Hackshaw’s testimony coihdded as to what was said abthat time. Yoeurn waited for the defendant to return and that he did return in about ten minutes and put his gun in the house. That in the meantime Yocum’s son had arrived at the Hackshaw home with a rig and that then the defendant caught three pigs and loaded them into the rig and Yocum and his son drove away. Yocum -said he heard no other shots than the shots fired at the hawk and from the position in which the defendant stood when he fired the shots at the hawk it would have_been almost impossible to have seen a man standing Where Mutchler said he stood, on account of the cornfield. That it was a distance of 33 or 34 rods. Elwood Davis, another neighbor, testified that Hackshaw on the same day came to his house and gave him some of the pigs of the same litter and that he went to Hackshaw’s house and took the-pigs home. The evidence of both state and de sense was that Hackshaw made no attempt to shoot Mutchler while talking to him at the fence and that he could have killed him as he was not over 25 feet away. There was evidence of ill-feeling between Mutchler and the defendant of several years’ standing. W. B. McNeil testified that he tried the gun supposed to have been used and that it would not carry up the distance Hackshaw stood from "Mutchler when shots were fired. That the rifle was a 32 Marlin, shooting a rim-flre short cartridge The jury got the ease at 6 p. m. and failing to agree Were discharged by the court at 10 a. m. Saturday morning. P. R. Blue and Moses Leopold de fended Hackshaw and C. M. Sands and A. Halleck represented the state.

Senator Wood not been scheduled to make a speech in Rensselaer through a peculiar confliction of dates. The state committee had sent Mr. McCardle here for Thursday and Senator Wood’s schedule sent a few days later gave the 9th and 10th as his dates for Jasper county. Chairman McLain decided to have Mr. Wood speak at MoOoya burg and Goodland. There was a demand for him to speak here and at Remington and it was hoped to have him at these places later in the campaign, but it developed that all of his dates were filled after today. Hasty arrangements were then made for a speech in Rensselaer this afternoon and if the weather is agreeable the meeting will be held in the open air. Senator Wood has been moving about among the voters of the town, where he has many warm friends and acquaintances of many years. The weather today has been rainy and the present indications are not st all favorable for the meeting set for Newland tonight,
