Robins Are Here; Several. Report Having Seen Them.

ißev. Postill was not mistaken when he reported haying heard a robin. His testimony Is supported by others and this Saturday morning Mrs. J. Q. Alter told of having seen one in her yard and of having fed it at the back door. E. J. Duvall, just across the street from the Alter home, also reported having seen one in his yard. Several others have seen them, also. Evidently the robin is of tjie opinion that Spring is here all right and we will have an opportunity during the next two or three weeks to find out whether its judgment is worth anything.

Candy, Beer, Actress, Fast Young Man and Auto All in It.

Don’t let the “chickens” drive the auto, fellows, when you go joy-rid-ing. Tt just can’t be done. As a result of a motor ride with Alton H. Stage, a wealthy young fanner of Goshen, Ind - ., Chic Patterson, an actress in a South Bend 'theatre, is unable to leave her hotel. The accident took place in the heart of the city while the young woman was driving. Because of the speed uhe was unable to dodge a telegraph pole and when the crash came boxes of candy and bottles of beer were scattered over the pavement.

TRY THIS FOR NEURALGIA

Thousands of people keep on suffering with neuralgia because they do not know what to do for it. Neuralgia Is a pain in the nerves. What you want to do is to soothe the nerve itself. Apply Sloan’s Liniment to the surface over the painful part—do not rub it in. Sloan’s Liniment penetrates very quiekly to the sore, irritated nerve and allays the inflammation. Get a bottle of Sloan’s Liniment for 25 cents of any druggist and have it in the house—against colds, sore and swollen joints, lumbago, sciatica and like ailments. Your money back if not satisfied, but it does give almost instant relief. (2)

I have made special arrangements whereby I can negotiate loans on good, well improved farms promptly and on favorable terms. If you desire a new loan or wish to renew yonr present loan, call at once and make application. I am now located opposite and westerly from court bouse. .

DANVILLE CHECKER PLAYERS ARE BEST

Won From Rensselaer in Interesting Match—Stevens and Hill Best of the Locals.

Placed at a Considerable disadvantage by the rule of restricted openings the Rensselaer checker team was defeated Friday night and this Saturday morning by a team of five men from Danville, 111. The local players had been accustomed to play any opening the might select, but the' large matches are all played by drawing the openings, each player’s first move being drawn. With some of the players it placed them virtually hors de combat and doubtless gave a considerable advantage to the visitors. The match resulted 55 to 45 for the visitors., although it was not quite completed for lack of time. By agreement the few unfinished games were declared draws in order that the score might be complete. The visiting team arrived from Danville on the 3:44 train Friday as-

ternoon. The was started at 7:30 oTelock. The visitors were W. E. Thomas, Charles Kimsey, Ora Stevens, C. H. Gones and J. O. Faris. The local players were E. M. Thomas, Sam Stevens, Frank Hill, Maurice Molony and J. A. McFarland. Two around had been agreed upon, making a total of ten games for each and a possible 20 points for each. W. E. Thomas, of Danville, had the highest score, making 15 points. He lost o>ily one game and that to Frank Hill. Stevens got two draws with him and McFarland got one draw, Kimsey also lost only one game, Stevens winning that, and Thomas, Stevens, Hill and McFarland each made draws with him. Ora Stevens lost two games, one to Hill and the other to Molony, and Molony, Hill and Sam Stevens each secured draws. For the locals Hill and Sam Stevens were the best. Stevens won 3, lost 1 and drew 6, while Hill won yl, lost 2 and drew 4. The score of each player follows: DANVILLE. W. E. Thomas, won 6, drew 3, lost 1, score 15. Chas. Kimsey, wqn 5, drew 4, lost 1, score 14. Ora Stevens, won 5, drew 3, lost 2, Score 13. C. H. Gones, won 1, drew 3, lost 6, score 5. J. O. Faris, wOn 1, drew 6, lost 3, store 8. Total score 55. RENSSELAER. E. M. Thomas, won 2, drew 3, lost 5, score 7. Sam Stevens, won 3, drew 6, lost 1, score ll (Frank Hill, won 4, drew 4, lost 2, Score 12. (M. Molony, won 2, drew 3, lost 5, score 7. J. A. McFarland, won 2, drew 3, lost 5, score 7. Total Score 45. The Danville players have engaged in several prominent matches and have defeated the Bloomington, 111., team and been victor in other matches. Considering the disadvantage experienced by the restricted opening the Rensselaer players made a splendid showing. It is probable that later, after the local players have made a study of the game under the conditions used in tournaments will return the game with Danville. In the meantime they will be looking for other games.

PREPARING FOR TRIAL OF FRANKFORT MAN

William H. McCoy— Defender of Homo Against Invasion of Another, to Be Tried Soon.

Frankfort, Feb. 12.—A special venire of 25 men, from which members for the jury* that will try the case of William M. McCoy, ehaiged with manslaughter, was ordered drawn by Judge Ooombs today. The trial of McCoy for salying his Wife, Mrs. Norma McCoy, on the morning of December 1, 1914, has been set for Thursday, Feb. 18. < The special venire was ordered because of the presumption that a jury will be carefully selected and that it may be difficult to obtain qualified men to sit on the case. The case has been given wide publicity and most of the details are known to newspaper readers. No trial date has been sdt in the manslaughter charge, in which McCoy is accused of slayipg John Byerly, who w*as found with Mrs. McCoy by the woman’s husband on the morning of the dual tragedy.

Says Counties Are Eighty Years Old—Partly Wrong.

The Pulaski County * Democrat says: “Eighty years ago Sunday the counties of Adams, Wells, DeKalb, Steuben, Whitley, Kosciusko, Fulton, Marshall, Starke, Pulaski, Jasper, Newton and Porter were all laid out by an act passed by the legislature entitled .‘An act laying out the unorganized territory to which the Indian title had been extinguished in the state into a suitable number of counties.’

“The chief labor of laying out the territory into these counties devolved upon Col. Vawter, who was better acquainted with the country than any other man. Although h£" labored so hard and long on the project he was net allowed to name even one of the counties. This was a great disappointment to him, as he had planned on naming one of the counties Armstrong, in honor of an old soldier by that name who spent all his best days in northern Indiana and who-wats finally killed in the northern part of the state by Indians.” Newton was not made a separate; county at that time but was a part of Jasper county for a number of years. • -

BADER CASE COMES UP AT CROWN POINT

Winamac Bridge Company Sued On Bond—Former County sioners as Witnesses.

The case of the State of Indiana vs. Clinton L. Bader, which resulted a few years ago in Bader being sentenced td the penitentiary for filing and collecting a false claim against Jasper county is brought up again in another way. It was clearly proved at that time that the bridge for which Bader had filed his claim was not constructed according to specifications, being short of the required weight nd consequently cheaper. That Jasper county should be reimJ bursed for the shortage as well as Bader punished was the view of the commissioners, the county attorney and taxpayers generally and ■the suit was instituted some time ago and vended to Lake county, where it is now called for trial on Monday, Feb. 15th. Former Commissioners Fred Waymire and John F. Pettit and County Auditor Hammond, the latter to take the records of the auditor's office, have been subpoenaed to go to Crown Point Monday.

Lots of Johns at Knox; How About the Marys?

Knox Republican. And his first name is John. Yes, and he lives in Knox. This is about the heaviest Johnned town in the state, according to John M. Swartzcfll, who is authority for the statement that every fifth man you meet is named John. “If you don’t know his name just say ‘hello John,’ and the chances are you get him right”, said John M. Swartzell in discussing the predominance* of this potronymic. It has been suggested that all persons named John living in the county hold a convention some time next fall. It’s not a bad idea. The Johns ought to be able to muster quite an army, taking the county over.
