MRS. RAWN SETTLES INSURANCE SUITS
Widow of Former Monon President to Get $90,000 Out of Total of $135,000 Claimed.
Mrs. Florence W. Rawn, .widow of Ira G. Rawn, president of the Monon railroad and vice president of the Illinois Central railroad, has settled ten suits she brought against insurance companies to recover $135,000 on policies on the life of her 'husband and has received $90,000 in lieu of -her claims. The settlement was made last week in Chicago. A stipulation to dismiss a suit Mrs.. Rawn brought against the Maryland Casualty 00. for $25,000 will be. filed. Another suit for $5,000 against the Continental Casualty Co., which is pending, also will be dismissed. Six of the suits are in the circuit court at St. Louis, while two other suits arerpending in the state supreme court on appeals taken by the insurance companies. One of the judgments is against the London Guarantee and Accident 00. for $20,326.68, and the other is against the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Co. for $15,661.35. Ira G. Rawn was shot mysteriously early on the morning of July 20, 1910, at his summer home at Winnetka, 111., a suburb of Chicago. His death followed an investigation by the Illinois Central into alleged graft in connection with car repairing. The insurance companies alleged that Rawn committed suitcide. Mrs. Rawn testified that the night her husband was killed she was awakened by a creeping noise. Rawn took a revolver and started down stairs. Two theories to explain Rawn’s death were advanced by the widow’s attorneys. One was that he was shot by his own revolver in a scuffle with a burglar, who escaped by way of a rear door. Another theory was that Rawn slipped on a rug at the bottom of a sairWay and his revolver was discharged.

HANK GRANGER BOUND OVER TO GRAND JURY
Kentland Justice Places Thayer Man Under SI,OOO Bond Which Jim Craig Signs.
Hank Granger, the Thayer citizen whose name has been connected with the Chicago stolen automobile cases was bound over to the Newton county grand jury Thursday by Justice Mock, of Kentland. The case, however, has nothing to do with the auto cases, but the affidavit against Granger was, based upon information given to toe prosecutor and detectives by Charles Shinklq, who is serving a 90-day sentence in the Jasper county jail on his plea of guilty in robbing the Adams ranch house near Thayer. Shinkle implicated Granger in the robbery and based upon 'his statement the affidavit was filed. Prosecutor-elect Reuben Hess and T. B. Cunningham, of Kentland, represented the state and Attorneys Hal'leck and Parkinson, of ithis the defendant. They feel certain that the evidence agaipst Granger and the character of the state’s witness will result in his being cleared, if indeed, the next Newton counity grand jury even indicts 'him. Granger was released on SI,OOO bond, signed by James Craig, of Thayer. There is nothing new in the automobile business and it is possible that the habeas corpus proceeding by which Andrew Granger secured his release may terminate the cases.

FIRST SHIPMENT OF STOCK TO CHICAGO
That is, the First Since Quarantine Was Established the Sixth Day , of November.
Dr. H. J. Kannal, who has been the agent for the government, the state and the county in enforcing the quarantine established because of the foot and mouth disease, has now been appointed a federal inspector to examine all stock for interstate shipment. The first load to leave Jasper county for the Chicago yards since Nov. 6th was made Thursday night, when Makeever & Zimmer shipped a mixed car load of hogs and calves. The appointment of Dr. Kannal will relieve shippers of the mileage expense of having federal inspectors come from otjier places, also of the delay thus occasioned. The federal fee i§ $5 for a car load of stock, also mileage from Rensselaer- It is probable that there will be active, shipping now that the interstate ban is removed except for the inspection requirement. Shipment to the Indianapolis or Lafayette yards can be made simply on the writen statement of the'shipper and without inspection.
George Ade Declares That America is the Best.
Lafayette Courier. Speaking before a capacity audience at Fowler hall Thursday morning on the subject, “Lessons -of Travel,” George 4dc, Purdue trustee, alumnus and celebrity, told a large assembly of students, faculty members and townspeople that America was the best place in the world. His address was punctuated with humor, also contained pathos and much substantial information as. well, linked with the quaint philosophy for which Mr; Ade’s utterances are famous. He told of his travels with John McOutc'beon and without McCuteheon, moralized to some extent on his observations, compared the people of other lands with the people of the United States and pointed out some of the striking incidents of his numerous journeys abroad. He was impressed with the successful law enforcement in England’s colonies, great industrial advancement of Germany and was everywhere impressed with the fact that the great mass of humanity is far better off in America than anywhere else in the world, this being especially true of the poor.
