He found them making, splendid progress and a little more.than half of the main Borntrager ditch is completed, the dredge now being about half a mile across county line. T. M. Callahan is planning to take a trip to California about the first of February, after he has disposed of his onion crop. He had planned to go to the south a year ago but was unable to do so by the illness of his wife. He will probably be absent several weeks. Miss Naomi Gregg, for some time one of the able teachers in our high School, spent several days this week visiting friends in Rensselaer and left today for Chicago, accompanied by Delos Dean, where both will attend the big dance this evening at the Congress hotel given by the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, which is holding its national convention in that city. Miss Gregg is teaching in the Greencastle high school this yeaj. Sheriff Bill Dowling, of Newton county, brought two Greeks here yesterday and lodged them in jail. They are from a eolony of Greeks near Morocco. Several days ago these men caused the arrest of a man who had been employed by them, also-a Grs>k. They eharged that he had tried to kill them. The man was frightfully beaten up and they had tied him and hauled him in and turned him over to an officer at Morocco. When he came here and was able to talk he said that all he had done was to ask for his money for five months’ work and that the men and the wife of one of them had set upon him and beaten him. He caused the arrest of the others and now all three are
