NEIGHBORING WOMEN HAVE LIVELY SCRAP

Two Fight at Mt. Ayr and Another At Parr—Shatters Hope For World’s Peace. That equal suffrage outlook is not apt to result in permanent world’s peace if recent transactions in neighboring towns may be accepted as a guide. Both Mt. Ayr and Parr have wen given demonstrations of the nrodern woman during the past few days and you can’t tell when it will break out in other places. The Mt Ayr case did not get into the court; but the Parr case did. At Mt. Ayr the wife of Stone Road Contractor Teach is said to have been the aggressor. She is deaf and when she assailed another woman on the street and gave her a beating and the other woman cried out “Enough,” she was unable to hear and the punishment continued until others interfered and Mrs. Teach was compelled to desist. Jealousy is reported to have been the cause of the affair, but whether well founded or not we have not been able to learn. At Parr Mrs. Perry Griffith was the aggressor, according to the eviidence in Squire Fay’s court. Deputy Prosecutor Sands was called there to prosecute the case which was tried before a jury. A. S. Lowman, the Monon station agent and American Express agent, was the prosecuting witness. The affair occurred at the railway station. Mrs. Griffith conducts a restaurant and a package of goods came by express. Mr. Lowman demanded that the charges be paid before the package was taken and trouble resulted and according to the testimony Mrs. Griffith spat in the! agent’s face. That was on Saturday. The next day there was a renewal of hostilities and the scene was shifted to the business street and in view of the residents of the town, many of whom witnessed it. Again Mrs. -Griffith spat in the face of the agent. He swore out the affidavit for her arrest, and a number of witnesses were called. The evidence was principally against the defendant and Justice Fay fined her $5. The costs brought the total up and the fine and costs were staid.

DUNLAP AND HOWARD CASES DISMISSED

* Automobile Insurance Agents Not • Prosecuted—Men Left at Once For Homes in Chicago. ’ Dunlap and Howard, the tvJo men ’ who were charged with conspiracy to ' defraud auto owners by representing themselves to be the agents of the Motorists Security Alliance of Chicago, and who were in jail here for I several weeks while awaiting trial, pwere dismissed when the cases were ' called in Kentland Thursday. There . was no evidence to support the charge of conspiracy and a letter which the superintendent of the Motorists Security Alliance had written them here, showed quite conclusively that they were the acknowledged agents of that company, even though they had not complied vith a- requirement to furnish a bond. The men claimed that it had been represented to them that selling membership in this company was just as easy as falling off a log and they came here expecting to do a land-office business. Things came rather slow, however, and when they made an invoice one day they found that they had enough money to get to Chicago if they forgot to pay their board bill and room rent. They accordingly “beat it” and were later arrested in Chicago and brought here. To escape punishment for beating their board bill and room rent they arranged ’with relatives and these bills were said. Whether there was any criminal act in their connection with the insurance proposition or not, the men seemed to be the kind who might not care whether they were on the square or not. Dunlap is probably 55 years of age and Howard 45. They went to Chicago from Kentland and were mighty glad to be free again.

Lady at Monon Wanted to Get Her Exact Weight.

Monon News. The boys at the depot were made to blush when a lady passenger off the Michigan City train No. 9 due here at 11:20 a. m. walked leisurely to the scales on the little platform north* of the Monon house, which is 3 feet high, stepping upon it with difficulty on account of her tight skirt and weighed herself. After doing this she laid her muff, furs and pocketbook on the platform and reweighed, then took coat and hat off and reweighed again. After doing this she started to fix her collar and the boys were afraid she was preparing to reweigh again and ran from the window to save blushing any more. When they went back to the window as train No. 5 was pulling in she was on the platform fully dressed, and ready to leave town.

PAUL WORLAND WON ORATORICAL CONTEST

Argument and Presentation of Question Makes Him a Factor in District Contest. —— Very few school patrons attended the oratorical contest at the school house Thursday evening, but there was a good- representation of the high school body. The contest was to se- I lect a representative of Jasper county in the district contest which is to choose the tenth district representative for the state contest to be held in Bloomington. Paul Worland was the victor, Miss Beulah Fox was second and Orphia Gant was third. Worland has a quite attractive style of address, his argument was for the most part clear, should prove a factor in the district meeting which will be held in Rensselaer on the evening of April 16th. Six or seven counties of the district will compete at that time. The state contest will be held at Bloomington, under the auspices of the statp university on May 7th.

Remington and Wheatfield were both entitled to participate in the contest held here Thursday evening, jut both had decided not to do so. It would have been more interesting with them in. The district contest should prove a very interesting event and patrons anc\friends of-the school should plart to attend it. The oratorical contest is a plan of the extension work of the state university and the high school discussion league is the primary step in the seection of the contestants. In the organization a district superintendent is selected and this honor fell upon C. Ross Dean, superintendent of :he schools of this city. He named a eader so reach county and C. M. Sharp was named in Jasper county and had charge of the contest held Thursday evening. Mr. Dean arranged to have the district contest held here and this will afford our people an opportunity to hear the speakers from the other counties of the district.

The subject this year is not a debate but a discussion. It follows a study of county and township government in Indiana and investigations by commissions in several states. The subject is: “How may we secure greater administrative and economic efficiency in the county government of Indiana?” Bernice Long and Helen Parkinson were the first speakers. They did not offer ideas of reform but their very interesting discussions were more of an explanatory nature, showing that the pupils have learned much about the department of county government and are thus able to form ideas aimed at‘ greater administrative and economic efficiency. Paul Worland, Beulah Fox and Orphia Gant then took up the subject and made suggestions of reform that are worthy the consideration of more mature minds. Special training in the public schools, civil service requirements, the elimination of some offices, the reduction in some expenses and various suggestions were made to accomplish the end suggested by the question. The county chairmen appointed by Superintendent Dean are: Benton County—Lee Fisher, Otterbein. Lake County—Priq. E. H. Croxton, Lowell.Porter County—H. M. Jessee, Valparaiso. Warren County—G. N. Lasher, Williamsport. White County—James Leffell, Monticello. Jasper County—C. M| Sharp, Rensselaer. Newton County—Fred Longwell, Brook. Tippecanoe County—Joseph Shock, Lafayette.
