GIFFORD WILL CASE SET FOR THIRD WEEK

Effort of Regina Burris to Break Will of B. J. Gifford to Be Tried in Kentland. The case of Regina Burris against the estate of the late Benjamin J. Gifford has been set for trial at Kentland, where it will come up the third week of the term, which is the week beginning March 22nd. J. A. Dunlap, of this city, brought the action several months ago in the Jasper circuit court on behalf of Dr. A. R. Kresler, who was appointed the guardian of the girl. Since that time she has married, her husband being John L. Kupke, of near Monon. Mr. Dunlap will be assisted in the case by Attorney E. B. Sellers, of Monticello. Attorney Moses Leopold, of Rensselaer, and Attorney William Darroch, of Kentland, will be associated with George H. Gifford, the executor of the will of B. J. Gifford. The complaint which assails the will sets up the claim that the plaintiff, Regina Burris, is the illegitimate i daughter of B. J. Gifford and has been recognized as such by Mr. Gifford during his life. The complaint alleges that Gifford was of unsound mind when the will was written and also that George H. Gifford, who was named as executor, had an undue influence in the making of the will. It is said that the defendants, who are all of those named as beneficiaries under the will, have assumed the "1 should worry” attitude, saying that should the will be broken, it would put in effect an earlier will which did not name Miss Burris as one of the beneficiaries. The last will, the one being contested, gave her $5,000. The executor, George H. Gifford, however, .would not want the latter will supplanted by the former, for in the former he was not named either as executor or beneficiary. In the latter will it was provided that after all the behests had been fulfilled, the residue of the estate was to go to the executor, George H. Gifford. Thre is an undeniable likeness between the plaintiff and the deceased wealthy man and it is said will be no difficulty in proving that she was actually his child. The estate is doubtless worth at least $250,000 and the plaintiff is suing for it all. That the case will be hard fought there can be no doubt. Another case in which Jasper county people are interested that will come up for trial is the state case against Hank Granger and son. It was set for trial March 18th. The trial of Dunlap and Howard, the autofobile agents, will also come up at this term of the Newton circuit court. We have put on sale 400 dozen cans of tomatoes direct from the factory. No. 3 cans of solid, red, whole tomatoes, the kind that has been selling for 15c a can, this lot at, 3 cans for 25c. Try them. , JOHN EG3$-

HORSE THIEF GETS PENITENTIARY TERM

Walter Miller, Who Tried to Escape, Will Spend 3 to 15 Years in Northern Prison. Walter Miller, the self-confessed horse thief who made an effort to escape from the Jasper county jail early Sunday morning, is now in the Northern Indiana prison, where he will serve an indefinite sentence of from 3to 15 years. Sheriff Hess came after him Monday and took him to Kentland, taking the precaution to have him handcuffed. Milled pleaded guilty and was sentenced by Judge Hanley and Sheriff Hess took him to Michigan City. ■ No steps were taken to ascertain Miller’s identity. He undoubtedly went by an assumed name and beyond much question was schooled in crime and has probably served time before. As he passed out of the Jasper county jail and by the sitting room, he bade a cheerful goodbye to Mrs. MeColly and apparently was not very much concerned at the prospect of serving a long term in prison. There are no other prisoners in the jail now but Dunlap and Howard, whose trial is set for Thursday of next week.

Artist Priest Who Helped Decorate Chapel Visits Here.

St. Joseph’s college was honored Tuesday by a visit from Father Paulinus Trost, now rector of the seminary at Carthagenia, Ohio, but who prior to eighteen years ago was a member of the faculty at St. Joseph’s. Father Paulinus is an artist of rare talent and for many years worked with oil paints and he did much of the original paintings that adorned the old chapel at the college. When the new chapel was erected his paintings were preserved and they are held very highly. Father Paulinus now wears a flowing beard which is almost white and many of his old acquaintances would not have known him.

Invites Us to Visit The City of Oakland.

The Republican and its friends, and this means all of the people of Jasper county, are given an invitation by Frank J, Mayhew, son of Charles Mayhew, a former resident of this city, to visit Oakland while attending the Panama-Pacific exposition this summer. Mr. Mayhew sent us a very handsome chart which is being extensively sent out by The California Development Board and which invites the world to come to California and the city of Oakland. The exposition which opened on Feb. 20th will close on Dec. 4th and indications point to a marvelous attendance. There is some talk of chartering a fall car from Rensselaer, so that those who go can attend in a party. There would be no advantage in rates but the car would go through without change from Rensselaer to San Francisco.

MRS. F. B. MEYER HAD STROKE OF PARALYSIS

Wife of Former Rensselaer Postmaster Stricken at Home in Gary— Condition Critical. Mrs. Frank B. Meyer, wife of a former postmaster of this city, was stricken with paralysis this Wednesday morning at her home in Gary and information received here this morning stated that she was thought to be fatally afflicted. Mrs. Meyer is about 54 years of age. She had been enjoying very good health and it was a great shock to her brothers, A. H. and A. R. of this city, when the message was received. Bert hurried to Gary on the 10:46 train and Arthur and his wife went there this afternoon.

Seme People Are So Extremely Modest and Shy.

The reporter becomes tolerably familiar with humanity. He can almost tell for a dead certainty when the mission of a young lady at the station is to meet her sweetheart. One day recently a pretty school teacher was at the depot. The reporter asked: “Are you looking for some one?” “Oh, not in particular,” replied the p. s. t. “I trust,” replied the reporter, “that the person you are to meet is more particular than you are.” She blushed. Just then a young man got off the train and he gave her a look that left no doubt about his own particularity and she returned the look with eyes so brimming over with joy that there was no doubt about her being very particular, too. The reporter understood and it was all right. We remember that in the years of the long, long ago, we had it just as bad and wfe were just as shy and we knew that she did not expect to be interpreted literally when she said, “Not in particular.”
