COURT REPORTER SUFFERS INJURIES

Mike Wagner Only One Hurt When Auto and Five Turned Over In Ditch Near Virgie. Michael Wagner, reporter of the Jasper-Newton circuit court, suffered severe injuries Sunday night when a Ford automobile driven by Charles Porter, son of Walter V. Porter, turned over about a mile north of Virgie. Messrs. Porter and Wagner, accompanied by Gerald Hollingsworth, Percy Hauter and L. M. Myers, the latter employed by the Jasper County Telephone Co., had driven to the Kankakee river in the evening and were on their way home. It was about 11:30 o'clock and according to all the car Was being driven at a rate, not to exceed 15 miles an hour. The track was along the side of the road and when the wheel of the machine slipped out of the track, Porter, who was driving, was unable to get them back into the traveled road again and after going along for about a hundred yards the car went into the ditch and turned upside down. Myers saw the impending week and jumped out. Hauter and Hollingsworth fell free from che car and Porter and Wagner were pinned beneath. Porter proved not to be injured but Wagner was badly jammed, the back of the rear seat pressing on his side and back. While the others raised the car Myers pulled Wagner from his' position beneath the car. The car was righ'ted and proved not to be seriously damaged and was driven to town. Dr. Washburn was called to the scene of the accident and brought Wagner to his room in A. Halleck’s residence, where it was found he had suffered a severe injury to four or five ribs near the back, also a .slightly sprained wrist. He will probably be laid up for several days but no permanent ill effects of the accident are expected. n

Two Midshipmen Dismissed From Annapolis Naval Academy.

Two midshipmen have been dismissed from the Annapolis Naval Academy and twelve others ordered disciplined in varying degrees as the result of investigations about the distribution of examination questions. It seems that the two men dismissed, Ralph Nelson, of New York, and Charles Reagle, of Wellsville, Ohio, stole examination questions and allowed a number of confederates to see them. One of the men disciplined was Overesch, of Lafayette, for “seeing” the so-called “turbin sheets.” It is said that sweeping changes will be made at the academy regarding the giving out of dope on examinations before the time for the exams. It is said that the questions will be made easier and not so long.

JOHN BURRIS TO BE RETURNED TO RENSSELAER

Man Wanted For Passing Bad Check and For Blackmail Now in Jail At LaPorte For 60 Days. John Burris, who is wanted here for passing a bag check and in Illdnois for attempted blackmail, is now in jail at LaPorte serving a 60-day sentence for vagrancy. Burris, it seems Obvious, has demonstrated that he is a bad character and in arresting him a bad man has been rounded up. Not long ago, while laving in Illinois, Burris and his wife filed charges against a well-to-do farmer charging him with a criminal assault on Mrs. Burris. The man stated at the time that it was blackmail and after a visit here Mrs. Burris went back and made an affidavit that it was blackmail and that Burris had gotten her into it. Burris then left that vicinity and it developed that he had previously cashed a forged check for sl4 on James Snedeker, the Main street grocer. Prosecutor Sands has not learned of Burris’ presence in the LaPorte jail. The following is an article from the LaPorte Argus. The name used by that paper is John Hess, but should read John Burris: “John Hess, who is serving a term of 60 days in the county jail, imposed early in July, on the charge of vagrancy, is wanted at Rensselaer, Ind., on the charge of forging checks, according to word that has just been received from Prosecutor Charles M.. Sands, of Rensselaer. Hess’ term in the county jail will end on September 9, when he will be taken to Jasper county for trial. The fellow had two aliases when arrested and other circumstances lead to the belief that he is a, crook. For this reason a heavy penalty was imposed, partly to give time to get some information concerning his record. It appeared that Hess lived, or had lived, at one time at Medaryville and circulated considerably across the state line among Illinois towns. He
