INFERNAL MACHINE DISPERSES ROWDIES

Would Be Nihilist Throws Lighted Bomb Into Crowded Saloon At Cedar Lake. , The following story was told to our reporter while in Lowell Thursday: Bert Viant, a young man of Lowell, with splendid ability and am all light f fellow if he could stay away from the booze, went down to the Monon depot at Lowell on New Year’s day ahd had his friend, Framk Maloy, write out a strong resolution to the effect that he would never take another drink of booze. Frank delighted and felt that his efforts to help the young fellow who had the talent of a W. A. Brady, to start up the ladder of fame were to be crowned with great success. ___ Viant did splendidly and his picture show at Lowell was showing marked improvement when to Malay’s surprise he Received word through the lad that carries the mail from the postoffice to the depot, an oral message last Saturday that the resolution was all off and that Viant was going to Cedar Lake and fill himself full of the Elixir of ness.Viant did go to Cedar Lake and he did fill himself Tull of The booze so long by him deserted. While in the condition that the average mortal is when he has imbibed so freely he went to a grocer* store and bought £ large grape fruit. He painted this a dark black and then secured a fuse about two feet long. Armed with this death-dealing appearing bomb, he slipped up to the back door of the Moriarity joint. This place was filled with women and drunken men and they were having some time. Just at the opportune time Viant opened the door slightly and being unnoticed threw the infernal machine sizzling into their midst. The getaway this bunch made would not have been more sudden or exciting had a'German Zepelin dropped a real bomb into the room. They went out .in all directions, some into wire fences and otherg almost ran into the lake. After they had separated themselves a. ... distance from the building to insure safety froAi the dreadful explosion they waited for the joint to be blown into the skies. When this did not happen they returned and made a diligent search for the supposed Nihilist, but he had been able to disappear completely during the confusion.

' Mrs. Gladys Merica and son, Donald, went to Reynolds today, where they will visit with relatives until Sunday and will then go to Lafayette for a visit with Mrs. Merica, ’s sister, Madge Busha. They will then go to their home at Muncie.

RENSSELAER, INMANA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, ffgt

LOWELL RESIDENT MET. HORRIBLE DEATH

Ground to Atoms Under Wheels of Fast* Monon Train While At- ' 4 tempting to Cross Trafck. Constantine Pat tee, of Lowell, Lad., was killed by Monon train No. 33 Thursday afternoon at about 1:27 o’clock. Mr. Pattee was on his way up town from his homeland was upon the Washington street crossing, which is about one hundred feet north of the Monon depot when he was struck by. the southbound train, which does not stop at .Lowell, and was possibly gofng at a speed of fifty miles an hour. • (Mr. Pattee was 75 years of age. He was quite deaf and had his cap pulled down over his ears and it is thougth that he did not realize that he was in any danger whatever. A few weeks ago he had- lost his wife and this sorrow had weighed very heavily upon him. By some it is thought, he felt that he could not bear the burden longer and that he purposely walked in front of the train. P. M. McNary, who has a coal and drayage office across from the Monon depot and who was sitting at a window in his office sy that he saw the accident, does not behave that Mr. Pattee realize*! that he was near the railroad tracks but was undoubtedly in a deep study, polssibly brooding over the* loss he had lately sustained. Mr. McNary says that the engineer gave a great many shrill blasts of his whistle but', the old gentleman seemed not to .have heard them. When the engine first struck him he was carried for a short distance upon the pilot. About the time the train reached the depot platform the body was dropped between the platform «and the wheels of the train, and before the train could be stopped the poor victim, wa^- ground into very small pieces. When the pieces were gathered up it was impossible to recognize that they were parts of a human body. The train was stopped in a very short distance considering the speed it was going and the train crew remained ih Lowell for over a half hour and made arrangements with the officers of the law to be present at the coroner’s inquest. The engineer in charge of this locomotive was Thomas Kline. He has had the misfortune of killing a number of people. Four of his victims have been people of Jasper county, namely, Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, who a number of years ago were run down and killed while attempting to cross the track on the highway just east of Rensselaer, and William Waahlbura and Noble Peacock, who were killed while loading cattle at the stock pens in/this city a few years ago. Constantine Pattee was a greatly respected resident of Lowell. He had lived there almost all his life. He owned a beautiful home and also a good farm near that town. He was one of the pioneers of that community. He and P. M. McNay’s father had operated a transfer line (between Crown Point and Lowell before the latter town had a railroad. Be had been a member of the town council, had" served as town marshall and also the county truant officer foretihe south half of Lake, county. At the time of his death his only daughter, a maiden lady 4f about thirty years of age, was keying (house for him. He has a ®on in Denver, Volo., who- is a very prominent attorney. He was a veteran of the civil war, having served in the 73rd Indiana Regiment. Besides a large .number of relatives and the old gentleman was greatly beloved by the whole community in which he had spent so many useful years.

DEMOCRATS WILL FIGHT OIL BILL

Will Make a United Stand Against Goodrich’s Plan to Abolish the ■ ’ State Oil Inspectors."" — 5 J.:'.: ■jt ' It became known in legislative circles Thursday that the democratic side of the senate would make a united stand against some of Governor bills, especially the state oil* inspection bill. It is probable that one of the democratic members will vote favorably on this bill. This is the ball of the new governor by which he would abolish all of the state oil inspectors, which would do away with a large number of men and mean a substantial saving for the state. The democratic senators say that they are voting against some of the Goodrich bills, not merely (because they are Goodrich bills, but because some of the bills, including the oil measure, they designate as ‘political.” The statement of members from the democratic side is that they will* not oppose any bills drafted which are in .the interest of economy. They have not explained why they do not think the oil measure is economy. The democratic members give as their reason for not supporting this bill is that it is in the interest of getting some sixty democratic deputy oil inspectors in various parts of the state out of a job and for that reason cannot see their way clear to support it. Senator J. R. Flaming, democratic caucus chairman, stated that when Thomas R. Marshall was governor he permitted the republicans to hold the oil inspection department for two years, and for that reason Governor Goodrich should extend the same courtesy to the democrats now. The democratic members want a jublic hearing on the bill/ The oil inspection department is presided over by J. O. Beymer, of Tipton, a democrat. The democratic members propose to fight to hold their jobs for the next two years.

Hogs May Turn Farmers Into Plutocrats.

Valparaiso Vidette. Unless there is a change in the hog situation, Porter county fanners may become plutocrats. The supply of 'hogs* was y never as good, the price never so high, and the quality never any better. It is nothing now for a farmer to sell his hogs and get a thousand dollar check in return. Hundreds of the animals are being shipped weekly and the spring crop promises well. A. W. Reynolds & Sons, alone, have shipped so far this week, •three cars to Buffalo and some to Chicago. Another shipment will go to the Buffalo - market Saturday. Shortage of cars is the only trouble, at present, in the hog situation.

Strike of Baseball Players Ordere[?]

The Baseball Players’ Fraternity, through President David Fultz, threw down the gauntlet to organized baseball Thursday and declared that unless the requests of the fraternity be acceded to by the magnates, there would be no need of training camps this spring. The players that certain rules' of the national board be amended which they claim are adverse to their interests. Whether the players will stick to their determination to strike is a matter of speculation, but considering the short life of a player in the big leagues, where he gets big money, it would seem a foolhardy movement. The players are given about everything from the magnates with the exception of a deed to their ball parks. The strike order is probably an attempt of Fultz to create the impression that he ie doing something for the players and earning the money which he is receiving for doing nothing.

ENTENTE REPLY DIMS PEACE HOPES

|j' .. ' • • Neither*Allies or Germany Prepare! to Accede to Demand of Other—- — Peace is Now impossible. ■ f '' _ ' ' . The entente allies, replying ’to President Wilson's peace note in a joint communication, express the belief that it is impossible at the present time to maintain peace that will assure them reparation!, restitution and such guarantees as they consider are essential. The allies state that they will not consider peace except upon the following terms: The res-, titution of provinces or territories

wrested in the past from the allies by force against the will of their population; the liberation of Italians, of Slavs, of Rumanians and Scheob Slovaques from foreign domination; the enfranchisement of populations subject to the blood tyranny of the Turks; the expulsion from Europe of the Ottoman empire, which has proved itself so radically alien to western civilization. The German government states that the allies declined their former proposition for peace, giving as the reason that it is a proposition without sincerity and without importance, hence that if the allies care to have peace it is up to them to take the initiative and to accede to the allies of the Germans. Such stands as these that have been taken by the two factions dims whatever hope for peace that has existed throughout the civilized worl<|.

Glando Did It Interesting Statement Given By Paulding Men Mr. C. A. Hughes, of Paulding, Ohio, said: “I had suffered so much from backache and kidney trouble that I was hardly abjp to drag around. After taking one treat men. of Glando Tonic I was so unproved that I took another treatment to make it a cure. I am now a well man and can heartily recommend Glando Tonic to all suffering from backache or kidney trouble.” A sluggish glandular system is responsive for most serious illnesses.. Such a condition should not be negectco. The wonderful cures effected by Glando, the Great Gland Tonic, Is due to the fact that it acts directly upon the galndular system. The three treatments which each package contains being necessary to effect a cure. Treatment No. One stars glandular activity. Treatment No. Two throws off the accumulated poisons and prepares the system for a tonic. Treatment No. Three is a splendid tonic that builds up the entire system. For sate by B. F. Fendig.
