RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1916.

Parents of L.A. Harmon Married Fifty Years Last Thursday

The Pontiac, 111., Daily Leader contained an article Thursday telling of the fiftieth anniversary of the marriage of Sir. and Mrs. Amiel Harmon of that city. Mr. and Mrs. Harmon are the parents of. L. A. Harmon, of tiirr city: —The article from The Leaders was as follows: “Mr. and. Mrs. Amiel Harmon, of oil East Howard;' street, observed their fiftieth wedding anniversary in a quiet manner today at their home, only these members of the family who reside in -this city being present and enjoying a fine family dinner at noon. “Mr. and Mrs. Harmon were united in marriage at Ottawa, 111., September 27, 1866, to which place Mr. Harmon had gone after completing his service with the union army in the civil war. Following their marriage they resided in Ottawa for two or three years, when they removed to a farm near Strawn, which continued to be their home until they retired from active labor. On leaving the farm the family removed to Rensselaer, Ind., where they made their home until eleven years ago, when they moved to this city, which has since been their home. “Mr. and Mrs. Harmon are the parents of seven children, all of whom are living, viz: Mrs. J. B. O’Malley, of this city; Albert, of Mitchell, S. Dak.; Joseph, of. Indianapolis, Ind., Louis, of Rensselaer, Ind.; Charles, of Evansville, Ind.; Harry, of Kansas Gity, Mo., and .Mrs. Antone Fischer, of this city. “Mr. and Mrs. Harmon are both of sturdy stock and -experienced the hardy life which the early pioneers and farmesr of Livingston county were -confronted with. When they first went onto the farm near Strawn their neighbors were widely scattered, but they have seen the development of the country into one of the richest agricultural districts in the United States. Their married life has been an exceptionally lhappy one and with the exception of Mrs. Harmon, who is now in ill health, have enjoyed health and prosperity, accumulating a well deserved portiom-oL this world’s effects.”

A Pin-Headed Attack On Hughes.

The straits to which the democratic campaign orators are reduced is nowhere so well illustrated as in their boomerang concerning Mr. Hughes as a voter. They ask why it is that he has- not registered and voted in the elections in recent years. They know the answer, but dishonestly leave to their hearers the impression that Mr. Hughes has not been sufficiently patriotic and interested in public affairs to take the trouble to go to the polls. They know, of course, that he was appointed to the United States supreme court more than six years ago; that he left his old home in New York and tcok up his residence in Washington. They also know' that no one whose Ivome lsTn Was-hington can vote in. our elections. Blit they say nothing about that in the hope of deceiving those they are trying to win to the Wilson standard. When Mr. Hughes took oath ,as justice of the supreme court, he did so with no reservations. He was riot to be a New York justice, but to serve for all the country. He gave up his residence in New York state and went to Washington to live and to serve all the people. And when sent back to Washington, as president, he may be depended upon to be the chief executive of the United States and not of any state or section.

High School Football Season Opens Saturday With Kentland.

The Rensselaer high school football season for the year 1916 will open tomorrow afternoon, when the locals journey to Kentland to meet the team of that city in a game. The local squad is in good condition and a victory over the Newton county lads is anticipated. The local squad has shown a lot of determ inaTtion in their workouts this year and have also shown a lot of football knowledge and ability, and indications point to one of the best squads that has represented the Red and Black in several years. Kentland has played one game already this year and have the advantage of the local crew in this respect. -Kentland is heavy and plays good football and a keen battle is expected. It is probable that a number of local rooters will accompany the team.

Heavy Fighting Among Mexican Forces Again.

Chihuahua City, Mexico, Sept. 28. —More than a hundred Villa followers were killed, the bandit leader, Baudelio Uribe, was taken prisoner and heavy casualties suffered by-Car-ranza forces in a terrific fight at Cusihuinachic, an important mining center,' about fifty miles southwest of Chihuahua City, according to a message received this afternoon hy General Trevino from General Matcis Kamos, who was himself slightly wounded. Details of the fight were few and were appended to the request of General Ramos for surgeons and rrfedical supplies. A hospital corps detachment was accordingly rushed to the scene by train. It is stated that the garrison at Cusihuiriachic co-oper-ated with the troops of Ramos, but whether they were attacked or had been the aggressors does not appear. Baudelio Uribe, Villa’s chief lieutenant, was the originator of the idea of cutting off the ears of captured government soldiers. Many others of his command are reported to have been made prisoner.

Indiana Troops Engage In Mimic Warfare.

Llano Grande, Tex., Sept. 2S. —One had to Ijeep one’s imagination under control lest he get to thinking that it was a real foe that the Indiana Infantry Brigade wasvabout to face as the Second and Third Regiments took up the defensive positions extending along a two-mile front with the First Indiana held in the rear as a reserve. There was *©t~a bandit in sight as the troops marched out from camp along the Donna road, but theoretically a strong force of enemy troops was moving on our Indiana brigade from the west. The battalion deployed to the side of the road and delayed the advance of the imaginary enemy force while the Third Indiana and the remaining baTtalionT were taking up defensive positions. The maneuvering for position was a bit slow and the men sometimes exposed themselves unnecessary, but with real bullets whistling past their heads "these thrngs wouid be corrected quick--!y. * . ~ Eight machine guns were brought into play and it is dollars to doughnuts that no enemy force would have made its way down that sand road In the face of these rapid shooters. It looked like real business as the small motor trucks whisked here and there with -the machine guns. This was the first time that a brigade maneuver had been attempted by the Indiana brigade. Battery A and C, Indiana Field Artillery, Sunday morning on their overland trip to Point Isabel, where they are to engage get practice with service ammunition used in their field pieces.
