SIX IN A FORD WENT INTO DITCH

Charles H. Leavel and Fire Passengers Had Close Call From Rad Injury Saturday Night. Charles H. Leavel and a Ford full of young men went into a ditch last Saturday night at about 11:30 o’clock a mile east of Morocco. Mr. Leavel, who conducts an auto livery, had taken Herman Lange, Harvey Phillips, Roy Burch, Bob Eldridge and 'Jesse Brown over to Morocco to attend the carnival and they had started back and were running at a speed estimated from 20 to 30 miles an hour. Mr. Leayel had forgotten a turn and headed the car straight into the ditch. The driver and his five passengers were spilled out in all directions and all received a few bruises, while Bob Eldridge was the most seriously hurt, having received a sprained %nkle and other bumps. Mr. Leavel and one of the others walked back to Morocco, secured a car to come out and get the others and then had Harvey Moore come over and bring all home. The Ford was damaged to the extent of S6O to $75. Subscribe tor The Republican.

LAND PROSPECTORS HAD A NICE TRIP

Options Taken On Farms That Look Like Real Bargains—Some to Locate in New York. L. A. Harmon, Max Kepner, George W. Reed, Ross Porter, Joe Davisson, James Whited and John Parkison returned Monday from their auto trip to New York and Pennsylvania on a land prospecting jaunt. News of the wonderful land bargains in New York state have been wafted here for the past three or four years and some two years ago several from Reming J ton purchased land and located there. Last spring John M. Knapp, of Rensselaer, returned to that state and took charge of his father’s farm. Max Kepner and W. E. Leek took an auto trip to that section several weeks ago and Max brought back wonderful tales of the almost “abandoned” farms. The prospectors found things as described and some of them todk options on farms that seemed to be rare bargains. They did not confine their search to New York but crossed over the line into Pennsylvania, where there were also many good farms for sale and low prices. Whited and Kepner each took options on farms and expect to adjust their businesses so as to complete the purchases and move there. Ross Porter saw one or two farms that looked good to him and he may decide to buy one. The agents tell of some fine farms of from 100 to 200 acres, well improved, good buildings, etc., that sell for prices of SSO or less per acre and all the farm stock and implements thrown in. They say that it is not important to have any money or very little in order to make the purchases and that for SI,OOO down on a purchase of $5,000 you can get possession and start into business. The farms are mainly for dairying purposes. The main crops are wheat, oats, clover and timothy, while enough corn is ra : sed to fill the silos. It is probable the agents will make another trip a little later, going over on the train and they expect to have quPe a number of prospectors at that time.

Chicago Heights Paper Gives Account of Death.

The Star of Chicago Heights gives an extended account of the killing of George I. Minnicus, a former Rensselaer man, which occurred early Sunday morning, Oct. 17th. The accident occurred at the loth street crossing of the C. & E. I. railroad in that city. George, according tb the evidence at the coroner's inquest, had spent the evening at the buffet of the Victoria hotel, talking and playing whist with friends. He had discussed a job of work with a man at Harvey and had drawn some plans for him. He drank a glass of beer occasionally but those who saw him said that he was not intoxicated. There were two, eye-witnesses to the accident. One was Tony Lallo, an Italian who is the watchman at the 16th street crossing. He told the jury that Minnicus was walking toward the tracks as the fast mail was approaching and he shouted to him not to try to cross, but he did not pay attention and was struck by the train. The train whistled and the bell was being rung as it passed, according to Lallo. Ike Edwards, a negro, was the other eye-witness. He was going to his home near 16th street. He saw Minnicus walk toward the train and turn his face toward it. He went to where the watchman was after the train passed dnd policemen came and helped them hunt for the body, which was found about 75 feet north, of 16th street and lying in the ditch by the side of the tracks. Others testified to the presence of Minnicus in the saloon but said that he was not intoxicated. 7 s — The coroner’s jury did not hold any one responsible for the death. He was buried Wednesday, the funeral being held at the Christian church. He was the president and treasurer of the plasterers' organization at Chicago Heights and a member of the Moose lodge of that city.

Editor Wilson Not Hart By Carroll County Sheriff.

The Republican last week published an article that was going the rounds about Editor H. B. Wilson, of The Carroll County Times of Delphi, having been whipped by Sheric Popejoy, of that city. The fact is, however, that Mr. Wilson was not injured and that the affair was magnified by the paper that first published an account of it. A dispute between the editor and the sheriff caused the latter to strike at the editor, whose hat was knocked off. The editor struck back but the sheriff was not injured. The two blows were all that passed and there was nothing in the affair to justify the notoriety given it.
