SAM ROTH INJURED FRIDAY AFTERNOON

Horses Ran Away, Wagon Crashed Into Telephone Pole and He Suffered Brain Concussion, i.

Sam Roth, of Roth Bros., meat market proprietors, suffered a severe injury Friday afternoon at about 1 o’clock when the team of horses he was driving ran away. He was unconscious from the time of the injury until about 6 o’clock that evening and since then has been suffering considerably' from the injuries sustained. His worst bruise is a depression on the left side of his head, ju3t above the ear. It was first feared he had suffered a fractured skull but this is not now thought to be the case and in all probability he will be able to be up again after a few days’ rest at his home. About two months ago Roth Bros, bought a new team, a black horse and a gray one. They had not been worked very much and were feeling “pretty good.” Sam had hitched them to a farm wagon with three £ets of side boards on the wagon. He had turned the comer west at the W. L. Bott residence on Forest and Clark streets when the houses started to run. The rattle of the wagon frightened them and they were soon running quite fast. The .black horse crowded the other one to the right and when near Dave Haste’s new property they crashed into a telephone pole. Apparently the wagon tongue struck on the pole and the wagon came to an abrupt stop and the bed left the running gears and landed' right side up on the sidewalk. Sam was’ still in the bed but he had fallen and in doing so his head had struck in such manner as to inflict the injury and render him unconscious. Jesse Nichols, county farm superintendent, was coming along in a buggy and he took Sam to his home. Drs. English and Kresler were called and gave him prompt attention but until he had regained consciousness some five hours later were unable to ascertain the extent of his injuries. ' He could not remember anything about the accident, not even having hitched up the team. The wagon was badly wrecked.. The horses ran for some distance before they were stopped. Mr. Roth’s many friends hope that his injury does : not prove serious and that he will have no complications that will causa him further trouble.

FAMOUS WILL CASE NOW TO BE SETTLED

Caldwell Estate In Benton County to Be Settled By Agreement Is Understood in Fowler. Benton Review. We understand that all parties in the Caldwell case will get together Saturday, or in the near future to make a final settlement. It is said some kind of an agreement will be made by the trustees and executors whereby the annuities of all parties will be protected by a guarantee and the contest of the compromise made on Oct. 26th, last, will be stopped. A special session of the court will probably be held Saturday and all those interested with their attorneys, will be present and the final settle 1 metn made. We are told that an agreement has already been reached and the matter will be finally disposed of in court here Saturday. Last Wednesday Judge Berry directed the trustees and executors to discontinue paying Gracq D. Follansbee her annuity of $416 per month, until all litigation concerning the will has been settled, which meant she would probably receive nothing, as she is almost 70 years of age and in all probability will have passed out of this life when the matter is finally settled in the courts. Mrs. Follansbee is a woman in moderate circumstances and the cutting off of her income would greatly inconvenience her. Mrs. Follansbee has fought for the upholding of the will regardless of the fact that she would be the gainer financially should it be broken.

Indiana Dentals Down St. Joe In Good Game.

The Indiana Dental College of Indianapolis downed St. Joe Friday evening by a score of 30 to 22. The Dentals were i mnuch better condition than St. Joe, who has been unable to practice the last few weeks owing to sickness at the college, necessitating the placing of a quarantine on the institution. The game was one of the best ever played upon the college floor. Deukyne of the visitors was a revelation to the fans, his one armed shots over his head finding the bask\t time and again. The lineup and summary was as follows: Dentals: Lexeron and Deukyn, forwards; Emond center; Heck ad Long, guards. St. Joe: Lause and Xeiflger, forwards; Deery, center; Tremel and Ehrman, guards. Substitution, Bruin for Ehrman. Field goals, Deery 3, Lause 3, Tremel 2, leriger 1, Lezeron 4, Deukyn 7, Long 1 Free throws, Deery 2, Lause 2, LezerejiJL;

John Eigelsbach Becomes Part of Father’s Business.

John Eigelsbach, who from boyhood has been associated with his father in the meat market business, has been taken into the firm and the business will hereafter be conducted under the name of Eigelsbach & Son, proprietors of the City Meat Market. Jake has been in the butcher business here for forty-one years and has been a hard worker and closely applied to his business all the time. Now he thinks to take things a little easier and himself and wife will probably make a trip to Oregon to visit their daughter, Mrs. Albert Marshall and family, during the coming summer. John has also been closely applied to the business and knows it from top to bottom and will conduct it Along the splendid lines his father has followed. Everyone who knows John knows him to be a fine and deserving young man and will be pleased that he is to become a part of the business.

Hardware and Implement Business at Lee Bunted.

Fire Friday afternoon destroyed the building and much of the stock of Ray Stiers’ hardware and implement store at Lee. The building caught fire, it is thought, from the flue, at about 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Some of the stock was saved but the greater part of it was bunted. Mr. Stiers bought the store some tim6 ago from Alton Clark. It is understood that the stock was insured for SI,OOO and the building for S9OO, but that this will not nearly cover the loss.

Monticello Brawn Too Much For Local Lightweights.

Averaging 170 pounds of brawn and muscle to the man, Monticeilo proved too much for the local quintette, downing them 44 to 26 Friday afternoon. ' The Monticeilo lineup presented the greatest crop of young amite hopes that we ever witnessed on a high school basketball team. Compared to them Rensselaer players looked like infants. Notwithstanding the superior weight handicap, the locals fought them all the way through and the game was a hummer. It was the hardest fought contest played here this season. Monticello did not win on weight alone, for they showed some great teamwork and speed and displayed a willingness at all times to rough it. They have all the characteristics of Monticello’s old school of basketball players. Warfel, of the visitors, at center, weighed 208 pounds, and they were mighty well proportioned pounds too. He shook the local guards from him in easy fashion and the ball generally found the space inside of the hoop when he throw. Rinker, back guard for Monticeilo, weighed 183, and was able to smother the Rensselaer forwards when ‘ his goal was in danger from a Rensselaer marksman. Rensselaer averaging possibly 130 pounds to the player, fought a good game all the way through, and were always ready to mix it with the .brawny visitors. They never quit at any time and except for the weight handicap were not outclassed in any department. Healy at forward for the oleals tossed 9 ueld goals and scored six more points by the foul route. Gant scored Rensselaer’s other field goal. The first half ended with the visitors leading 20 to 10. Monticeilo expects to win their district championship, entitling them to take part in the state meet at Bloomington. This state meet has become an annual meet, and the winner of it is generally a team that has the stamina and endurance to go through the two days at top speed. Monticeilo has all the requirements expected of a state title contender. Watch out for the White county lads at Bloomington the latter part of March. A remark that was heard just after the game Friday made us feel better .following the defeat. A feminine Voice was heard to say: “Well, I don’t care if we did get beat, we made the prettier baskets.” There was some truth in the "statement, too. Lineup and summary: Monticeilo Rensselaer Rotruck If Healy Heed rs Curnick Warfel 8, Reed, Coonrod, Healy 3, Rinker Eigelsbach Coonrad rg Guild Substitutions, Loy for Curnick. Coonrod disqualified for four personal- fouls. Field goals, Rothruk 9, aWrfel 8* Reed, Coonrod, Healy 9, Gant. Free throws, Healy 6, Reed C.

Severe Cold Quickly Cured. “On December first I had a very severe cold or attack of the gnp as it may be, and was nearly down sick in bed,” writes O. J. Metcalf, Weatherby, Mo. “I bought two bottles of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and it was only a few days until I was completely restored to health. I firmly believe that Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is one of the very best medicines and will know what to do when I have another cold.” Obtainable everywhere. C Candidates After the Lake County Republicans. The withdrawal of Mayor Johnson, of Gary, from the race for the republican nomination for governor has resulted in a lively scramble for the vote by the other candidates, Warren T. McCray and James P. Goodrich. The Hammond Times declares the effort the candidates are making as both determined and spectacular. The Times also adds that the drift in that county at this time is for Goodrich for governor and New for United States although, it adds, the Lord only knows what may happen to change the sentiment during the next few days.

For a Bilious Attack. When you have a severe headache, accompanied by a coated tongue, loathing of food, constipation, torpid liver, vomiting of partly digested food and then bile, you may know that you have a severe bilious attack. While you may be quite sick there is much consolation in towing that relief may be had by taking three of Chamberlain’s Tablets. They are prompt and effectual.’ .Obtainable everywhere.

BOZARTH FOR CONGRESS. Valparaiso, Ind., Jan. 25, 1916. The Tenth Congressional District of Indiana, is now and ever since the civil war has been a strong soldier district, and yet in all the fifty years since .the war it has never been represented in congress by a private soldier. We believe the men who helped save the country in its hour of supreme danger ought to have some of its honors and help make its laws. We are reliably informed and believe that the present congressman, Mr. Will R. Wood, has been continuously in public office for about eighteen years and has had his full share of office and political honors. We present and recommend for nomination to congress on the republican ticket, Nelson J. Bozarth, of Valparaiso, Ind., one of the youngest, if not ihe very youngest private soldiers of the civil war in the Union army. He is a man of good collegiate education, a lawyer of long experience, in the prime of his mental and physical powers, and qualified for the position in every way. Jacob Fisher, T. B.

Tuthill, Michigan City, for years judge of the Lake-Porter-Laporte Superior Court, strongly endorsed Bozarth for governor, and he was endorsed by many other prominent republicans, but finally deeided to be a candidate for nomination to congress at the primaries in March against Mr. Will R. Wood. The last part of Judge Tuthill’s letter reads as follows: “He who bared his breast to the Rebel bullets when only fourteen years old, and like you has been a good citizen ever since, should have everything ‘he asks for in the first place, and in the second place should not be modest in the asking. I hope I am writing to the next Governor of Indiana.—Yours truly, H. fi. Tuthill.” Bozarth’s Petition for congress is filed with the Secretary of State. V -f . —-Ad/. dental notice.
