RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1917.

Death at DeMotte of Old Soldier and Respected Citizen.

Word reached Rensselaer of the death early Thursday morning of Dr. Lewis N. Wells, at the home of has brother-in-law, Ransom Halleck, at DeMotte, of paralysis, at the age of about 77 years. The doctor was stricken with the dread malady about four weeks ago while in Chicago, and seeming to realize that the end was near, made known to his wife and son that he would like to be removed to DeMotte, where he had formerly practiced medicine and which he had for many years called his home. Accordingly, the family brought him in a closed automobile to that place last Friday, and he seemed to enjoy the trip. However, on Wednesday evening of this week he became much worse and gradually sank into unconsciousness and did not rally. Many of our citizens knew the doctor intimately, although he had, not followed 'his profession in Rensselaer but had visited here frequently, his wife being the oldest sister of A. Halleck, of this city, and a relative of Mrs. John O’Connor. Doctor Wells was a member of the G. A. R. and served his country during the great crisis of 1861-1865. In the beginning of his practice of medicine he resided at Kankakee, 111., later locating at Red Cloud, Neb. More than 25 years ago he came back to Jasper county with his family and located at DeMotte, where he retired from active practice about four years ago. His wife and adopted son, William H. Wells, and two grandchildren, survive him. The funeral services will be Jjeld ait the M. E. Church at DeMotte, Sunday afternoon at 2 o’oock, conducted by the Masonic lodge of Wheatfield, assisted by the %. A. R., and the burial will be at the DeMotte cemetery.

GOOD OLD DAYS TO BE REVIVED.

Clash of Thinly Clads Tomorrow Wil! Bring Back Memories of Stars of Bygone Days.

For the first time in a decade, Rensselaer is to witness a track and field meet of real high class. Not since the days of *O6 and ’97 has there been so much interest shown among the followers of the cinder track sports. The old time interest has been revived and the meet here tomorrow is being eagerly awaited by the devotee® of the game, who are track hungry.

In former days, when Monticello and Rensselaer clashed annually, this sport proved the one biggest athletic event of the year and there was hardly a man, woman or child in the city who failed to witness the collision of the two schools. In the days when such sterling athletes as Robinson. King, Rawlins, Karp Stockton, the Gardners, Blake, Ottstot, Rainier and Brushnell came to contest with such men as Dobbins, McGregor, McFarland, Yeoman, Hauler, Morgan, Gwin, Hopkins, et al, the excitement was intense and the contest generally found the losing team trailing by but a few points. There was a time that Rensselaer track men were the cream of (the state. One state championship banner now rests in the hall of the high school building. One other time Rensselaer failed to finish first owing to Yeoman having stepped over |he line in the hammer throw after hurling the iron (ball several feet further than his nearest opponent. Following this, athletics of a track and field nature declined owing to the old race track .being torn up and the lack of a wealth of first class material, Rensselaer has a chance to cop the meet tomorrow, a chance that they •have not had in the two previous years. A second l place finish will be a big improvement and a victory will serve to give the game a stimulus in this city, which will not soon allow it to die out. Among the men expected to add to the Rensselaer total, if their practice form is any criterion, are Hemphill in the pole vaiilt, who is capable of doing better than ten feet. Monticello and Delphi have not a man who can made the ten foot mark. Crooks should annex the honors in the high jump. Gourley, Crooks and Guild stand a chance of taking positions in the shot, put, and McLain, and S waim should ibe well up du the handle race. Crooks may add ,to the Rensselaer total in the dashes. Thurber, of Wabash college, Burnay, of East Chicago high school, Schei niberg, of Purdue, and Webb, of Valparaiso, will be in charge Of the meet as judges, timers, etc., assisted by Bruin, Laus , Hogan and Trernel, of St. Josephs College. The meet will take plaice at St. Joseph’s and start at about 2 o’clock. Mrs. Edward Sheets returned to her home at Indiana Harbor after a visit with her sister, Mi& E. J. Hurley, of Aix.
