HOPE TO MUSTER OUT GUARD BY XMAS

Officers at FL Harrison See Possibility of Completion Before Holidays Arrive. Every effort is being made by Adjt. Gen. _/rank L. Bridges and officers and clerks of the Third Indiana Regiment to complete all details.incident to mustering out the mpn of the regiment before Christmas. Unusually good progress was' made in that direction Tuesday, when officers and the clerical -force of the regiment again took up the property lists and individual records of the men. At the close of the day officers said there is more than a possibility that their efforts to muster out in time to get home before Christmas day may be realized. Much work, however, must be completed before the soldiers will be at liberty to go to their homes. Reports, delayed since before the regiment was sent to the border last July, must be completed. Equipment of every man and the records complete must be filed before the order to muster out is given. Gen. Bridges, commander ‘> of the Indiana National Guard, and Col. Harry B. Smith, said to be the choice of Governor-elect James F. Goodrich to succeed Bridges, wore guests Monday of Col. Aubrey L. Kuhlman at dinner at Fort Harrison. They met the field officers of the regiment and considerable time was spqnt in discussing the probable effect of the experience on the Texas border on the National Guard of the future; whether the training received will be conducive to a gradual enlistment and filling; of the various units. Owing to the inclement weather, members of the regiment were given four hours V)f drill work under shelter at the barracks. Officers of the various units composing the regiment 'are planning a social program for the period during which the members are awaiting the muster-out order. Arrangements are under way to give two dances within the next ten days, which has met with popular favor at the fort.

JUDGE WASON REVERSES HIMSELY

Quashed Indicemant and Sands Jay W. Stockton Eack to Jasper Connty for Trial. The case of the State v's.Stockton, which opened in the White circuit court today, came to an abrupt close this morning .only a short time after it had gotten under headway. There ha® been very earnest contention on the part of the attorneys for the state that t,he indictment was bad, but Judge Wason Anally held that it was good. Suddenly, while witnesses were being examined, the judge withdrew the case from the jury and quash, ed the indictment on account of the same having an error in the name Bertrand. was spelled Burtrand. On the motion of the defendant that he ber’SSt free, Prosecutor Brockway, on behalf of'the state, announced that the state intends to bring a new prosecution for the same offense, and moves the court that the defendant elect whether he would defend in the White or the Jasper circuit court. Defendant refuses to elect. Defendant recognized to the Jasper circuit court in the sum of |I,OOO to appear before the judge thereof, the Arst day of the February term, with E. S. Thornton, surety. The state is given ten days in which to Ale bill of exceptions. > This abrupt intermission was very much unlooked for by the attorneys of the defense as well as the state. There are some very One legal questions, and the future development will be watched with great interest. The defendant will contend that the aotiop of Judge Wason makes it impossible for him to be retired, while the state is positiye that a new indictment can be brought -and -t-hat Stockton will have to stand trial in the Jasper circuit court.

HAVE DISTRIBUTED $10,000 FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Members of First National Bank’s Landis Club Have Received Their Checks For This Amount. Santa Claus came early to a great many of dur people this year. The First National Bank of this place distributed to its patrons, members of its Landis Saving Club, checks amounting to >IO,OOO. This is a magnificent sum to be available at this Christmas time. The happiness and joy it will bring to the homes of this community cannot be imagined. We want to commend our people and the First National Bank. Having saved this large sum of money is in itself to be commended. The habit so formed is a mighty fine one. We need to instill into the life and habits of our youths this essential habit. Having this large sum of money at this opportune time of the year makes it possible to enter into the real Christmas spirit. ’What we Americans need above everything else is the habit of real giving. Not to give to and because the one w whom we give will give to us in return. Not give because we know it is expected, but because we love to give. Lowell said: “He who gives with his alms feeds three, his hungering neighbor, himself and me.” We must possess to give. What we may possess, but have had no part in the making is of little value to us. But when we can give out of the x>unty of. our own hard . earnings, then we are twice blessed, in the saving and in the giving.
