Sheriff McColl y went to Chicago Heights today to see about renting property he owns there. It had been occupied by the same tenant for the past three years but is now vacant. Mrs. Ella McKinsey returned to Indianapolis this morning after a visit since Wednesday with her granddaughter, Ruth McKnisey, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Brown.

While using the shears in trimming an animal in one "of the barn stalls, while preparing for his sale, E. A. Summer was badly injured by a kick from the animal, which drove the sharp point of the shears into his skull. It took the work of a doctor to remove the point and the pain was severe. —Brook Reporter. Jim Walters’ ankle which was severely sprained some time ago, is not getting well as rapidly as he would like. The tissues of the ankle were torn and .this makes the recovery slower. But with the aid of crutches Jim gets about and looks after the Lawler interests. He reports that they have just started to feed en.silage to the cattle at the ranch east of town. The reported injury of I. W. Moneyhun, the Monticello stone road contractor, proved to be unfounded as the young man, who was in Logansport, telephoned to his Monticello home Thursday that he was all right and had not been injured in any way. Some one telephoned to the young man’s father early Thursday morning that he had been struck by a train at McCoysburg and had suffered the loss of both arms and both legs. His father procured an automobile and came to Rensselaer and then went to McCoysburg. Later it was reported that the accident occurred at Francesville but this was also without foundation. The last night and early morning papers gave an official report that Villa’s game of hide and seek with Carranza pursheys was at an end. The dispatches told of the capture of the bandit leader and a lot of his followers and that the followers had been executed and that Villa was being taken to Chihuahua to be executed in public. There was a degree of uncertainty about the report and The Tribune later stated that the claim was unfounded. Apparently, however, Villa is apt to be captured at almost any time as much of his army has deserted and the Carranza forces are pursuing him vigorously.

Deputy Sheriff Rice Porter started out this morning to post the delinquent tax notices, the law requiring that three of the notides be posted in each township. The list is the' smallest this year that it has been for many years, possibly the smallest in the history of the county. For a number of years the Gifford lands were allowed to go delinquent and this added largely to the description. There are only 175 descriptions this year. The notice is published in The Semi-Weekly Republican. Jasper county lands and city and. town lot properties to be sold, at de* linquent tax sale are published in this issue of The Evening Republican.
