THREE BOYS TOO BASHFUL TO STRIP

Pittsburg, May 3.—“ We frankly admit that we are too bashful, and cannot under any circumstances submit to a physical examination, and we will go to jail before we will submit,” declared William and Christian Hoag, of Connellsville, when arraigned before Judge Orr jpf the United States District Court here. They were each sentenced to serve six months in the Allegheny County jail. , , The Hoag brothers were arrested at Connellsville about a week ago on complaint of a local draft board. Last week they were brought before Judge Orr, who informed them that they would have to submit to a physical examination or go to jail.

MONON BOY ON GUARD DUTY KILLS MEXICAN

Monon News. “Halt!” was the command of Berwin Hemphill, on guard xiuty at Ft. Bliss, Tex., to a Mexican invader, who had in some manenr gotten on the American side by stealth and was advancing on the guard, gun in hand. Failing to obey his order, Berwin with deadly aim fired his own weapon, the bullet striking the Mexican in the forehead, killing him instantly. Berwin is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Hemphill of this place and is in the infantry service of the National army stationed on the Texas border. The thrilling incident related above occurred several days ago and an account of it has just been received by his mother. He was guarding a bridge across the Rio Grande when he fired the fatal shot.

SUGGESTS HOME GUARDS GIVE THEM TARGET PRACTICE

Monticello Journal. Nightwatch Critsgr, of Rensselaer, got into an altercation with one Charles Marlin, of Kentucky fame, on Thursday morning about two o’clock, which ended in several shots being fired. Marlin first attacked Critser with a brick, then later came upon him with a shot gun which he discharged twice. In return the nightwatch emptied his revolver at Marlin. Neither one was hit by the shooting. Such markmanship would never, never, beat the Huns. We suggest the Home Guards give them some target practice.

CAPT. RAGON, PIONEER LOWELL EDITOR DEAD

Capt. Henry Harrison Ragon, dean of Lake county editors, war veteran, former member of the legislature, pioneer school teacher and secret service operative, is dead at Lowell in his 81st year. The end came peacefully Friday morning at 7:40 o’clock, after two days 'of unconsciousness and a long peripd of illness. Editor Ragon was one of -the owners of the Lowell Tribune and was associated in that business with his two sons, Leonard W. and Cordie U. Another son, Elmer E. Ragon, is with the Hammond Times at Gary. The pioneer newspaper man has been a resident of Lake county for over a half century. Serving in the civil war as captain of the 144th Ohio infantry and later in President Lincoln’s secret service during the rebellion, Captain Ragon came to Lake county when the conflict ended. He settled at Lowell, where he taught school for years. Captain Ragon was said to be the oldest living person who taught school in the county. Later he established the Lowell Tribune with A. A. Winslow, now consul-general at * Auckland, New Zealand. Besides their sons, Captain, and Mrs. Ragon have three daughter, Mrs. 0. M. Collins, Little Rock, ArK.; Mrs. E. A. Surprise, of Lowell, and Mrs. Joseph E. Buckley, of Des Moines," la. Captain Ragon for more than forty years was active in politics. Hundreds of persons, many of them now prominent in various walks of life, still have a kindly remembrance for their old teacher.

Will Brown, of Hebron, was in town Tuesday calling on hfs many friends. Will is a candidate for the Republican nomination for joint senator from the counties of Lake, Porter, Jasper and Newton. When the last apportionment was made two members of the seriate were given Lake county, and a senator at large from the other counties. All of these members are now L&ke county men. It is the belief of many that a man from a county other than Lake should be made joint senator so that some representation could be given these counties. Lake is and always will be amply represented, and unless a man from a county outside that county is elected the other counties will not be. Mr. Brown makes an ideal candidate. He is all wool, true blue, and has a wide acquaintance throughout the district. He is and has long been in touch with the peoples of all the counties he seeks to represent, and enjoys their fullest confidence. He was prevailed upon to become a candidate and now that he is in the field, he is working to win the honor of a nomination. The Tribune hopes that every Porter county Republican will give his hearty support to Will Brown, of Hebron, for Joint Senator. His fight is the fight of all of the people of the counties outside of Lake. Whether these counties will have representation in the legislature of the future depends upon his success now. Lake county is growing bigger every day, and Lake county’s politicians are always willing to take anything that is not nailed down and out of their reach. With them it is not “after you, my dear Alfonso.” It is “get it, no matter how.”—Chesterton Tribune.

GOT BLACK EYE—JUST WHAT HE DESERVED

Kokomo, May 3.—Because he was reported to have termed Howard county drafted men “not soldiers, slackers,” Sergt. Martin, local recruiting officer for the regular army had his cap snatched from his head and received a black eye yesterday at the 'hands of Mr. Shamo, an exmember of the marine corps. Sergt. Martin then swore out a warrant against Shamo, who was taken to police headquarters • and furnished bond for his appearance in police court today. Sergt. Martin has engendered a number of anmoisities since he has been here. It is said that in his excess of zeal to obtain recruits he has induced certain married men, who did not understand that they had a chance for deferred classification, to enlist, leaving their families temporarily to be looked after by the civilian relief of the Red Cross.
