$5,000 LIBEL SUIT IS FILED HERE

Jacob Ochs, Remington Citizen, Files' Suit For $5,000 Damages Against William Zimmerman; — Jacob Ochs, Jr., has just filed in the Jasper circuit court a complaint against William Zimmerman for libel, in which he demands $5,000 damages. This case seems to be destined to be even more interesting than the church mixup over at Remington some time ago in which action was brought in court for damages. The complaint alleges that Ochs was a rural mail carrier on route No. 2 out of Remington and that the defendant, Zimmerman, is deputy marshal of Remington and that the defendant willfully and maliciously, meaning and intending to defame and injure the plaintiff iff his reputatioh and character in the community in which he lived and to cause the plaintiff to lose his job as rural mail carrier, wrote a _ letter to the superintendent of rural free delivery in which he made certain charges against Ochs. Ochs denies these charges absolutely, stating in his complaint that they are false, malicious and defamitory and that the letter was written to the postoffice department for the purpose of causing him to lose his job, injure his reputation and for the further purpose of humiliating him. An investigation of the charges seem to disclose that they were unwarranted as Mr. Ochs is still in his position and we understand that he was exonerated by the postal department from these charges. Mr. Ochs is a man who was born and raised in Remington and we understand his reputation has never been questioned. The case is filed by John A. Dunlap and W. H. Parkinson and will be watched with considerable interest by the citizens of Remington.

GEORGE ADE IS FOR HUGHES

Indiana Author Writes State Committee Telling Why He Will Support Hughes. In a letter to the republican state committee George Ade, Indiana auth* or and playwright, teHs why he has come back to the republican party and will support Hughes for president of the United States. Mr. Ade says:* “This year I am going to vote for Charles E. Hughes, as against Woodrow Wilson, for a good many reasons. Four years ago I was a progressive. It is true that my enthusiasm for some of the planks in the progressive platform was so moderate that I had no trouble in controlling it. I liked and makeup of the progressive leadership and I tried to be loyal to the organization two years ago, but it was evident even then that the very structure of the party was beginning to crumble. The progressive party had to keep growing or go nut of business. The logic of events restored the republican party to its time honored place as a principal corrector of democratic mismanagement. The progressives must not figure that they made a losing fight. 1 “I believe "that the first "duty of every good American citizen this year is to change Washington from a word factory to a deed factory. For one, I have had enough alpaca coat, and chautauqua and college rhetoric and the oleaginous Josephus to last me for a hundred years. “Colonel Roosevelt did the patriotic thing last January when he indicated he was ready to jump in and support any good republican who could defeat Wilson. The Colonel saw what was -wrong at Washington from the very stdH. Mr. Wilson, means to be sincere and wants to do what is right, but he was brought up on a college campus. He -was accustomed for years to be dogmatic and oracular before a lot of college boys who couldn’t talk back. Accordingly whenever a Tampico or a Lusitania crisis or a railroad crisis confronted the good doctor, he did not tackle it according to the methods of old fashioned, statesmen brought up in -a school of hard knocks. “No, he collected a lot of pretty adjectives, symmetrical phrases, choice metaphors and high grade similes, mixed them in a silver bowl with frankness and myrrh and maple sugar and touched off the whole thing and, as the smoke arose, he sat back and s<sw things in the smoke.”

Troops Believe They Will Not Be Home Until Spring.

•Llano Grande, Tex., Oct. 12.-—Like conquering heroes the Third Indiana infantry marched into camp at 7:30 o’clock tbrnghlTafter havirig“struggled through many miles of mud and rain on the last leg of a four days’ hike which had extended to Progresso, along the Rio Grande to the Donna pumping station to the sugar mill, and through the town of Donna to the base camp. Rain had fallen each day the Indiana men were absent from camp and the roads over which they skidded in completing their task can be likened only to pig wallows. The men of the Third proved themselves real soldiers on this trip. Camp life .at its best is a little rough and has its discomforts and inconveniences, but after having slept in the tiny pup tents three nigtys and marched four days untier trying weather conditions, it was like getting into a cozy, comfortable home for these men to get back into the Llano Grande camp. Indiana soldiers have despaired of returning home in time for the November election, and the opinion <s growing that it will be a long time, possibly not until spring, before all of the Hoosier organizations will have returned. In army circles the belief prevails that there will be nothing like a general movement from this camp at anything like an early date. . It is the uncertainty of the situation which bothers the’ Indiana soldiers more than anything else. If they only had some idea of when they would be returned they, could shape their business and home affairs accordingly, but as it is scarcely know how to act on different home and business problems which confront them.

FRED HAMILTON WRITES FROM WAR ZONE

Rensselaer Boy In Canadian Army, Now in England, Tells of Experiences—May Go to France. A letter was received here today from Fred H. Hamilton, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Hamilton, of this city. Fred is with the Canadian army in England and is —a corporal. The camp to which Hamilton belongs is situated at Surrey, England, .which is thirty-five miles out of London. The Rensselaer boy is a member of the machine gun company. The letter is postmarked Witley Camp, England, under date of Jfeptenffier 27th, and is as follows: “Dear Friend: “Well, here I am in England at last and expect to soon be on my way to France, although it is not certain as yet, as we are to undergo a rigid course of training before we get into the actual fighting done. It is the general belief that we will be in France inside of the next three months, however. I am now a corporal m the - machine gun company, and believe me, after a course as a gunner you are sure able to hit the mark. Let one of these fellows get a shot at you anil it is all over. “We are in camp with 50,600 other men, all going through a rigid course of training, and every man must be in perfect trim and a real soldier before being dispatched to the front. We live in huts, which are thirty feet long and eighteen feet wide, with thirty men to a hut. Have both hot and cold shower baths, and so you see we are living fine as compared with a U. S. soldier: I am going to London some time during the next few days - for a week, and then later expect to go to New .South-JWales witkjaJbunch of other, fellows and expect to see all the sights and country that 1 can before returning to the states. Believe the fellows on the Mexican border haven’t a thing on us when it comes to seeing new sights and encountering experiences. Please give my regards to all Rensselaer friends and tell them to write if they can spare the time. My address is, Corporal Fred H. Hamilton, ‘ No. 922378 Machine Gun Section, Witley Camp, Godaiming, Surrey, England. Your friend, FRED H. HAMILTON.
