Miss Eva Maines gave a miscellaneous shower Monday evening of this week for Miss Edna King, whose engagement to Mr. Eden D. Rupe, a farmer living near Warsaw, was recently announced. The 11-year-old son of Ira Brown, of Jordan township, is now able to be up soe with the aid of crutches. Some five weeks ago he suffered four fractures of one of his legs while trying to crank his father’s automobile. Miss Margaret Babcock went to Indianapolis today for a few days’ visit and from there will go to Blountsville to attend a house party given by Mrs. Virgil Gordon, a sister of Paul Miller and a former teacher in the city schools here. The 5-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Davisson ran the tines of a pitchfork deeply into his foot Monday. He was brought to town and Dr. English dressed the injury and expects it to heal without serious results. Mrs. Ernest Clark and baby, of Helper, Utah, who have been visiting her mother at Delphi, came here this afternoon to visit Mrs. E. L. Clark and other relatives. Mr. Clark will come from Helper within a few weeks to visit relatives and Mrs. Clark and baby will return home with him. Leslie Clark returned from Decatur last evening, where he attended the public sale of Shetland ponies of Jones Bros., of Redkey. They sold 45 head of ponies to buyprp from all over the country. Mr. Clark bought five head of mares, which he will dispose of if buyers can be found, otherwise he will keep them for the increase, as the mares are all supposed to be in foal. Marion I. Adams was the victim of chicken thieves last week, when about 75 young chickens were stolen. Mr. Adams made the rounds of the poultry dealers but could get no clew that might lead to the arrest of the thieves. It was at the Adams home that young Boudreau, the Milroy township youth, was apprehended after being frightened away from the chicken roost, and prior to that time chickens had been stolen there this year. 'Evidently Mr. Adams will have to go out of the chicken business or put out a few man traps to capture the thieves. Nothing is too strong for a chicken thief, be is shotgun, mantrap or “pizen.”
