Big Swede Appears to Have Been Hunting Home for Winter.

Anton Neilson is the name of a Big Swede who has been staying at the town hall in Monon for the past week. Anton was picked up Friday night of last week by Nightwatch Robbins, in An unconscious condition. His arms and chest were badly lacerated by knife wounds, and he seemed to be in an extremely serious condition. Neilson’s tale was to the effect that he had been slugged by four men at some distance from Monon about 48 hours before he was found. Upon questioning the Norwegian it appears that he remembers what he pleases and forgets the rert. Neilson stated that he was working his way to Detroit and got off the train at Michigan City with a number of others to get lunch and it was then that he was slugged. Then his memory leaves him and he can tell no more. Sheriff Williams of White county is of the opinion that Neilson had been engaged in a brawl some place, possibly Lafayette, and was attempting to escape arrest- Unless the man produces a more plausible story he will be turned out of the town hall, where he has been lodged and cared for ever since Friday night.

Van Rensselaer Club Preparing To Become Active Again.

.Since their removel from the K. of P. building last summer, the Van Rensselaer Club has not been very active owing to the> interior decorations which took some time to complete, and the delays in the arrival of the furniture. Everything has been completed now, however, to make the rooms attractive and the club members are becoming active again and it is probable that a house-warming will be given in the near future, as well as some dances and smokers, and all these should tend to create a great deal of interest. The annual club banquet will be given some time in January. The election of officers is to take place Soon and it is probable that the membership will be greatly enlarged and everything seems to point to a busy winter for the members. The club is incorporated now and bids fair to become one of the leading organizations of, its kind in the state. President Spitler has called a meeting for this evening and all members should be present to aid in the reorganization.

Choice or Chance?

Life is made up of one choice after another. Sometimes we come to the forks of the roads and there are no guide-posts. Then choice becomes chance. This paragraph is intended to serve as a guide-post for the reader. It eliminates the element of dhance entirely. You simply cannot go wrong in this instance. The guidepost points direct to both California Expositions. And it will take you there and back in the easiest and most comfortable and enjoyable manner imaginable—and for the absurdly small 1 fare of 50c or less covering all expenses. For the guide is Lyman H. Howe and the medium is via his inimitable Travel Festival. The trip will take place 'at the Ellis Theatre on Dec. 21, 1915, and without the innumerable troublesome details relating >to baggage, hotel accommodations, or the stress and discomfort of actual travel, you can make the trip with consummate ease and comfort, deriving maximum pleasure at minimum expense. Instead of tramping all day until you are so utterly fatigued that the sense® of enjoyment have become dulled, and experiencing the same exhaustion day after day, you can see all that is most entrancing and fascinating at- both expositions from a comfortable theatre chair, including even a trip through the Panama Canal enroute and arrive home immensely refreshed both in body, mind and spirit. That is wh’y you are taking no chance if you follow this guide and make that longed for visit to the expositions via Lyman H. Howe’s Travel Festival. There will, of course, be numerous other new and diversified features on the program, in accordance with the usual Howe custom.
