Otto Braun, the bandmaster, has been quite sick for several days and his family is having a rather bad time of it. Recently one of his daughters fractured a leg and Mrs. Braun has been ill some lately also. The smoker to be given by the Van Rensselaer Club Thursday evening promises to be a very enjoyable affair »nd the committee on arrangement has sent invitations to all members. It is probable that the new directors will organize by electing officers at that time. Today is a beautiful spring day. The heat is almost at June temperature and doors are left open and men are comfortable in their shirt seleves. We are still needing a rain badly, but the ground is in fine condition for plowing and harrowing and the preparation for corn painting is keeping the fanners busy. Charley Remmek, who created some trouble several weeks ago, was lodged in jail agian Saturday night and kept there until Sunday evening. He interfered when Dr. Hemphill and John Critser were having an argument and drawing a Colts revolver, pressed the muzzel against the side of Critser. The revolver had four loaded shells in it. Remmek was arrested by Night Officer Critser and held for 24 hours and then released, no warrant having been issued. An empty pint whiskey bottle was found in his pocket Chitser decided Monday to swear out a warrant for Remmek and it is probable that he will be arrested today. On one or two other occasions he has used a gun when either under the influence of whiskey or drugs and he is regarded a dangerous character. He as a very pleasing man when at himself and his condition is to be pitied but he should be placed where he can not endanger the * lives of those with whom he comes in contact.
