R. I. RED CHICKS STOLEN FROM PASTOR

Rev. C. W. Petty, of Barkley Church, Had 140 Full Bloods Taken From His Coops. Rev. C. W. Petty, pastor of the M. E. church of Barkley township, has a bad case of it is possible that some reader of The Republican may be able to help him rid himself of them and at the same time be a benefactor of the public. Rev. Petty set an incubator with pure blood Rhode Island Red eggs and the eggs hatched five weeks ago and he had 140 chicks just 'beginning to feather out. Some time Sunday night some one went to the parsonage and stole every one of the ■little chicks. They did not bother h’’s other chickens, old hens and some young ones almost large enough to fry, evidently caring only for the fancy kind. Rev. Petty would not have taken $25 for the ones stolen and it would .be a good deed if some one could locate them and at the same time furnish the information that would lead to the arrest and conviction of the thief. There is plenty of room in the jail for this kind of humanity. As Rev. Petty says, if the chickens are turned out they are sure to attract attention and certainly some one will be able to furnish a clew that will lead to an arrest.

Reason Resta Lost.

How Dario Resta lost the 1915 Indianapolis 500-mile race is a story that remained for a rail bird, sitting near the scene of Resta’s skid on the northwest turn of the speedway near the end of the contest, to tell. According to the rail bird, Resta and DePalma’were running neck and neck, when a rabbit, scared from his hiding place in the speedway’s tall grass, essayed to cross the track in pursuit of safety. Resta did not see the animal and struck it a glancing blow with his front wheel, starting him on the skid that landed him against the retaining wall, and loosened his steering connections so that he had to make a pit stop and was-un-able to drive at top speed afterward. Bunny escaped unhurt.

One set of the heavy trucks passed over his body, but he succeeded in pulling himself dear cf the right of way before the rest of the train reached him. The trucks had passed over his left leg, severing it at the hip, and the entire right side was torn loose from the hip to the fifth rib, allowing a part of the intestines to protrude. When Mr. Mcllrath fell on his lantern it was extinguished. Conductor Catterlin missed the light and started an investigation. Mr. Mcllrath was found beside the tracks, but was conscious. He told them how the accident occurred and a special train was made up and he was rushed to St. Elizabeth hospital, Lafayette. After arriving at the hospital it was seen that the unfortunate man was fatally injured. Despite his terrible injuries, he displayed great fortitude and insisted that he was going to live.

Bayard Taylor Judgment Against C. I. & S. to Be Paid.

Attorney Jesse E. Wilson, of Hammond, was here today closing up the case of Bayard Taylor vs. the C. I. & S. railroad. The other interested attorneys were present. Taylor was a railroad promoter and some years ago formed the Chicago, Terre Haute & Southern Railway Co. The silent members of the company were supposed to be W. T. McCray and C. C. Kent, of Kentland. Later the holdings of that railroad were disposed of to the Indiana Harbor railroad, which later became the Chicago, Indiana & Southern, and which is now a part of the New York Central system. Taylor brought suit against the company for $30,000, through his attorney, Otto Gresham, now of Indianapolis. Judgment was secured -in the sum of SIO,OOO and the case went to the supreme court, where the judgment was affirmed. The judgment was in favor of the railroad company, however, and not in favor of Taylor, and there are said to have been some debts against the railroad company. In making the settlement, which the New York Central is now doing, the attorneys desire to know that the money is paid to the right person and the gathering of the attorneys here was to take care of that matter.

Minister Extends Sympathy For Injury of 25 Years Ago.

The Monticello Herald publishes a column under the caption, "TwentyFive Years Ago in Monticello,” and thereby hangs a tale. The other evening Rev. Ted Spray, of that city, was reading the paper when his eye chanced to fall upon an item relating to a member of his congregation. Calling his wife’s attention to the fact that Brother So-and-So bad received a crushed toe in an accident, requiring amputation, he announced he would call on the sufferer in the morning. Next morning the pastor hied himself to the home of his parishioner. The latter was working in the garden, but came into the house to greet the minnster. “I understand you were hurt, and had a toe amputated,” spake the minister. “Well now, let’s see—yes, that’s been just 25 years ago this week. It has healed up all right, however.” Rev. Spray had ‘been reading items of twenty-five years ago in Monticello without noting the caption.

J. P. Simons Writes Interesting Letter From Anthony, Kas.

Anthony, Kans., June 3, 1915. Editors Republican, Dear Sirs: Thinking perhaps some of my friends would like to hear from sunny Kansas will write a short letter; I left Rensselaer on the 14th of May and arrived at Anthony on the 15th. Saw some beautiful country on my route. Beautiful hills, with all their green foliage and beautiful prairie. Harper county is situated in the south part of the state, with Anthony as the county seat, 11 miles from the Oklahoma line. Anthony is a beautiful little town of about 2,500 population. The country is somewhat rolling hare. The soil is a red loam and seems to be very productive. The grandest wheat fields I have ever seen, looking as far as the eye can see. It has been very wet here this spring, raining more than 6 inches since I came. Poor weather for making hay and cultivating crops. If the people in Jasper think they don’t have anything here but dry weather, hot winds and grasshoppers, they are sadly mistaken. It is surely a grand sight to see so many fields of fine wheat. Have met quite a number of old comrades here. They are ever ready to extend the glad hand of welcome. One comrade from Gillam township and one from Wolcott. Will close, with kindest regards and best wishes to all old friends and comrades. P. Simons.
