THANKSGIVING DAY GAME ENDED 7-7

Kirklin and R. H. S. Played Evenly and Large Crowd Was Pleased. The last chapter of the Rensselaer 1915 football story has been written and the end of the story shows that the locals broke even on the season, two wins, an equal number of losses, and one drawn battle. Tradition was not smashed by. the team representing R. H. S., for they got an even break and saved the proud record of former Rensselaer gridiron teams. Rensselaer scored seven against Kirklin, their opponents, in the second quarter, when Curnick went over on a line buck, and Eigelsbach booted a goal. It looked as if this would be enough for the game went well into the third quarter with the locals still leading and playing in Kirklin’s territory the most of the time. Toward the close of tihe third period the speedy little quarter back of the visitors caught a punt near the center of the fie rd and aided by some excellent interference ran the ball back and planted it squarely behind the goal posts. Kirklin kicked goal and the count was knotted at seven all, where it remained until the close of the game. The teams were evenly matched in weight, as well as the other departments of the game, and the large turky day crowd was treated to a great exhibition of the great fall pastime. Neither side received more than their share of the breaks. Once with the ball on the enemy’s fiveyard line, first down, Curmck was tackled so hard that he dropped the ball and a ■ Kirklin player got it.

Standing in the shadow of his own goal posts the Kirklin hooter sent it ' far down the field and Rensselaer Post their last chance to score. At this time the Rensselaer team was apparently the Stronger of the two and a touchdown looked certain. Following their score in the third periqjl, Kirklin took heart and set out to win the game and came near doing iL.too. Several long runs put the ball on the twenty-five yard mark, where a speedy Kirklin backfield man got away, shook off several Rensselaer tacklers and finally had a clear field ahead with the exception of Gant, but he was enough, and brought the runner to ehe ground on the Rensselaer two-yard line. Kirklin had four downs yet to send the oval over, but the red and black braced and Kirklin attempted to drop kick, but the kick fell short and the ball was given to Rensselaer on the twenty-yard line. Two well-executed forward passes and several line smashes took the ball past the middle of the field, where it rested when the whistle b’ew.

Rensselaer played more football ycs.erday than they have played all season and showed a greater knowledge of the game than they have displayed before, and followers of the team are looking forward to a winner next season. Very few men will be lost by graduation. jCapt. Eigelshach, Moore, Lakin and Gant Will graduate. Each man on the Rensselaer squad acquitted himself in splendid fashion Thursday and the team should be credited with the game fight they have put up all year against adversity.

Peterson Declines to Be Tenth District Chairman.

John B. Peterson, former congressman from this district, has declined to become the tenth district chairman to succeed Chas. J. Murphy, who was disqualified because he holds a job on the public utilities commission. Mr. Peterson says that he had. recommended Malcolm McDonald, a wealthy retired farmer living at Williamsport, for the place and that he would not have the appearance of doublecrossing him. Mr. Peterson was urged by many to take the place, but it is hardly probable that Editor Babcock* joined in the request.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS

Eat Less Meat If You Feel Backachy Or Have Bladder Trouble..

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.

• The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedimertt, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.

Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take onw and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1915.

SHERIFF DEFENDANT IN SUIT FOR DAMAGES

Henry Whittaker and Others In Lake County Charged With Assault On Anthony Nomensen. / A suit that will be hard fought was started in the Jasper circuit court this Friday morning, having been venued here from Lake county. The action is for damages for injuries received by Anthony Nomensen, a farmer living near Lowell and is against Henry Whittaker, sheriff of Lake county; Fred Friedley, Vis chief deputy; R. Graham, a saloonkeeper at Crown Point, and Robert V. Russell, a saloonkeeper at Cedar Lake.

On the 13th of last July, according to the plaintiff’s story, Nomensen and Nick Minninger, of Lowell, stopped into Russell’s saloon. Whittaker and the other defendants were in the saloon. An altercation arose relating to a remark Minninger was alleged to have made against Whittaker during tlj.e campaign when Whittaker was a candidate for reelection as sheriff. Minninger and Nomensen allege that they were assaulted by the sheriff and his deputy and the other defendants and that Minninger was knocked cut presumably with a blackjack. They allege that Minninger was dragged to the back part of the saloon by Mrs. Russell and that Nomensen was knocked down and kicked, suffering a broken left arm, a broken nose and other severe bruises.

The remark Minninger was charged with making was that Mrs. Russell had told him that the reason her husband was supporting Whittaker for sheriff was because he secured protection from prosecution from the sheriff.

The plaintiffs are being represented by Attorneys George E. Hershman and Otto J. Bruce, of Crown Point, and A. Halleck, of Rensselaer. The defendants are represented by Attorneys, E. C. Davis, H. S. Baer, Tinkham & Tinkham and D. E. Boone, of Lake county, and Geo. A. Williams, of this city. Other news of the circuit court follows:

The appeal taken by Schutlz in the action brought by Leslie Alter for the loss of a mare alleged to have been killed by a horse owned by Schultz was dismissed in the appellate court. Alter had received a judgment for $25, although it was shown that the mare was Worth more than SIOO. It would seem that he should have recovered full value for tihe mare or no judgment at all. Schultz, on this basis, took an appeal. The appellate ; court held that the amount being for a sum less, than SSO could not be reviewed by a higher court.

Glazebrook et al v. Messman. Cause dismissed and costs paid. Union Central Life Ins. Co. vs. Herr. Foreclosure of mortgage. Estate of Peter Behles. Last will and testament admitted to probate. Will gives children by first wife $5 each and children by second wife all the balance of the property consisting of personal property and small farm north of Tefft. Children of first wife had commenced a partition action on theory that their father died intestate, thereby leaving all the property to both sets of children equally, but the probate of the will will have the effect of abating the action in partition and children of first wife will receive but $5 each unless the will should be set aside for cause. •

Jess Marlin Defeated Sigman In Wrestling Match.

What many of the spectators pronounced the best wrestling match ever held here from the standpoint of the enthusiastic manner in which the contestants went after each other, was held at the opera house Thursday night before a crowd of about 200 persons. The principles were Chester Sigman, of Wolcott, and Jess Marlin, of this city. Each weighed 152 pounds. It was the first time Marlin had wrestled before a crowd and his performance surprised all who saw him. Sigman was somewhat tihe favorite in the judgment of the fans, for he had wrestled on former occasions. He threw Marlin the first fall in 8% minutes. Marlin won the second fall in the same time and the third fall also went to the local trappier after 14 minutes of the hardest kind of work. The spectators were greatly pleased and it ip planned to hold another match a little later, Marlin being matched against Sherm Parks.

Shipped a Fine Fawn Home From Minnesota Woods.

Emmet Pullins and Fon and A. L. McCurtain returned home Thursday from a hunt in the Minnesota north woods. Of course, they killed only “one” deer, that being all the law allows. Emmet expressed a fine fawn home, it arriving Thursday night. He had killed it the Sunday before. With the intfe-stine® removed it weighed only 55 pounds. Some greedy person had slashed a small steak off the hip. Emmet wad about 250 yards from the fawn wthen he shot it, and he had to shoot five times to get it The little fellow had run as far as he could go and had then dragged himself until it fell dead. There were a vast number of hunters this year, upwards of 1,000 licenses having been issued in the county where Emmet got his license. The non-resident license is $25.

Makes Another Attempt To Get Woman to Husband.

That Louis Jemison is somewhat of a fabricator and that he never joined the British army is now quite certain, for he wrote back for his mute wife and three children, asking them to join him at Toledo, Ohio, to which point Superintendent of the County Farm Jesse Nichols, started them Thursday. Taxpayers, charity workers, the superintendent and matron of the county farm and all others who had knowledge of the family are pleased that they have departed and hope that Jemison will keep faith with them and meet them in Toledo. This is the fourth time they have been sent from the state in an effort to get them to their unnatural husband and father.
