REMINGTON CHURCH CASE IN ARGUMENT

Attorneys Analyze Demurrer Which Alleges There Is No Legal Ground For Action. The first hitch in the case of Walter E. Johnston vs. W. C. Smalley, James Hamilton, Rev. Konkle and Samuel and Ezra Bowman, better known as the Remington Christian church case, came up today for argument on a demurrer which Attorney Daniel Fraser, of Benton county, had filed to the complaint' and which alleges that if the statements made against .Mr. Johnston in the* proceeding to oust him from membership were made at a duly authorized board of the church then there was no cause for action. Mr. Fraser is appearing for the defendants and A. K. Sills, Jr., of Monticello, is assisting Attorney Jasper Guy, of Remington, in the plaintiff’s action. Defendants Samuel Bowman, W. C. Smalley and Rev. Konkle are all here to Isten to the argument. Other items of interest in the circuit court are: New Suits. Monticello National Bank v. Chas. W. Bussell. Suit on note. Demand $585. Carey & Williams, attorneys for plaintiff. Warren E. Boyle v. George F. Meyers. Suit to recover $506.92 which Boyle was compelled to pay to Gail Midhaels and Vern Michaels on account of certain ditch assessments on the Dexter ditch, Boyle having conveyed the land to Caldwell & Caldwell to Michaels, the said ditch assessment at the time being a lien on the land. Michaels sued Caldwell and Cald’wel sued Boyle and Boyle was compelled to pay above amount. Meyers sold the land for .Boyle and under their contract Boyle alleges that Meyers was to pay all the assessments. Cause will not come to triel before February term, 1916.

Boys Got Off With a Single Day’s Suspension.

Twenty-six boys are today having an enforced vacation from school because of their participation in a hazing party last Friday night when the freshman class was havnig its annual party at the school house. Many of the boys in the suspended list had very little to do with the ungentlemanly features of the hazing, but the discipline is enforced in an effort to establish the fact that visiting the school house after school hours in an effort to annoy any who may be there on authorized reasons is frowned upon by the teachers, the school board and the public. That they were let off very lightly is certain, and instead of punishment the day’s holiday is 'being enjoyed by many of them. It is hoped that the young men, all of whom are manly boys on almost all occasions will accept the light punishment as an expression of the confidence the teachers have in them and that they will prove their appreciation by never again participating in any form of school hazing.

Augustus Phillips Given Praise In Monticello Paper.

Augustus Phillips, now one of the leaders in motion picture drama, is given a fine write-up in The Monftficello Journal. The occasion for the write-up was the presentation at the Majestic theatre in that city of “The Ploughshare,” a 4-reel romantic drama jurt put out by the Edison company. The Journal says: “Many Monticello people have a pleasant recollection of Augustus Phillips, the Rensselaer actor, who some years ago was a regular annual visitor to this city with repertoire companies when the Smoker divery barn was our public play house. Since those years Mr. .Phillips has climbed to the summit of the Thespian ladder and is recognized as one of the foremost actors of the country, winning his spurs a few years ago when he created the stellar part in “The Wolf,” Jules Walters* great play. It has been a good many years since Mr. Phillips appeared before a Monticello audience and the fact that he comes this time in the silent drama will add interest to his appearance."

HAMMOND ATHLETICS TO PLAY ST. JOE

Game Scheduled For Next Sunday Will Close Season For Local College—Then the Turkey. The strong Hammond Athletics will play St. Joe next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 and this will close the football season for the local college. The visitors come from a section of the country that has the football bug in an extravagant form and every vacant lot in the lake region has daily football practice during the fall season. There are a number of excellent athletic clubs there, including the Jimmy Clahbys and the team that will visit here Sunday and the contest is certain to be a good one.

Coach Parker is spending this week putting the finishing touches on his men, some of whom had been bruised up a great deal during the early stages of their training and playing. Football was comparatively new for St. Joe and many of the men on the team had never been in uniforms before but they have taken to the game in good fashion and some of them have shown splendid qualities on the gridiron. Next week many of the college boys will go to their homes for the turkey feast and players and rooters will enjoy it much more if they conclude the season by defeating the Hammond Athletics.
