KELLNER & CALLAHAN. Ray Hand, who works for Ernest Lamson on the farm, met with a serious accident on last Monday. He was along the road chopping and trimming trees. In some Way he swung the axe into his left foot and cut a deep gash in the instep. Ernest happened to notice him and went to the house and got his machine and rushed him to Brook to Dr. Collier. The gash was about three inches long and the bones are injured. An artery had been severed and the young man is somewhat weak from the loss of blood. —Brook Reporter.

BEER, BOOZE, JAIL AND SORROW

BEAVERVILLE BOOZE PUTS BROOKSTON BOYS ON THE BUM. A premature explosion of the ammunition for the Fourth of July fireworks wrecked three automobiles, killed a horse and landed three Beaverville boozehisters in jail. Three men from the town made famous by being the home of Charles Murphy, Brookston, spent a very unpleasant portion of their holiday in the Rensselaer cooler, pending the convening of Mayor Charles G. Spitler’s court.

These three men had been to Beaverville, 81., and had secured a supply of high explosives for the proper celebration of our great national holiday. It was their plan that while Mayor Jewett and Miss Hunt were christening the good ship Indianapolis, at Gloucester City and while President Wilson was making his great address at Mount Vernon, that they would have the proper amount of enthusiasm to display in the town of Brookston, made famous as suggested above. On Wednesday, calling to their assistance Henry Ford’s greatest contribution to the world of usefulness and noise, some time designated “Tin Lizzy,” they made a trip to the now famous Beaverville, but better known as Boozeville, and made a patriotic investment in a large quantity of beer. Placing thirty-two bottles in Lizzie’s bosom and possibly a like amount under their belts, they started to return to their home, hilarious in their demonstration of their preparation to duly celebrate the glorious Fourth. Ashamed of these law-breakers, the Indiana sun refused to light their way home and darkness stole upon them. When they were about to pass the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. A., Fell, some three miles west of Remington, they met with an accident that aroused I them to their senses and came near losing their own lives as well as endangering the lives of others. An automobile ahead of the booze car hit a horse and was thrown into the ditch beside the road. The horse was so badly injured that it had to be killed. Another automobile came upon this scene and stopped to assist, and was placed on the opposite side of the road. It was into this condition that the booze car was driven and it tore into both cars, doing considerable damage, but not severely injuring any of the people. The three men responsible for the accident, with their “Tin Lizzy,” beer in bottles and booze in their anatomy, were brought to Rensselaer and landed in the county jail. Thursday forenoon they had their trial before Mayor Spitler. One party, Walter V. Cochran, who claims to have been at the wheel when the accident happened, took all the responsibility of the wreck and was fined $5.00 and costs, amounting to over SIB.OO. The other parties paid for the damage done to the automobiles. All three were anxious not to have their names known. The thirty-two bottles of beer were left with Sheriff McColly.

CAR MONEY AND MAN DISAPPEAR

W. H. MACKEY IS LOOKING FOR FORMER EMPLOYE AND FORD. W. H. Mackey, the monument dealer, is on the search for W. C. Veihle, his former employe, who has been missing since Monday, with his Ford and a hundred dollars which he collected from a customer, Mrs. Spencer, at Wolcott. Veihle came here early last winter and secured employment from Mr. Mackey as a cutter and. solicitor. He claimed that his was in Milwaukee. Monday last he was sent with, his employer’s-new Ford touring car to Wolcott to set up a monument for Mrs. Spencer. He did the work and collected the hundred dollars due and this,was the last seen of him. Mr. Mackey waited for his return and when he did not show up, he began inquiries and learned of his disappearance from Wolcott. Mr. Mackey is now in Milwaukee in search of his former employe and hopes to get some trace of him there, which may lead to his apprehension.

Lieutenant Paul Miller left this morning for Bloomington, Hl., from which place he will continue to Camp Funston, Kansas Saturday, where he will enter the service in the dental division of the medical corps. In her letter ordering the Republican sent to her brother, John W. Karch, 7th Co., Tr. Bu., Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio, Mrs. Minnie Neier, of Wheatfield, encloses the following note: He writes they are all well and that the bunch is still together. I like the soldiers’ letters so much that are published in your paper, especially Verne Davisson’s.

RENSSELAER HAS QUIET FOURTH

CITY WAS DESERTED AND—AND STILLNESS REIGNED SUPREME. The inhabitants of this city scattered to the four winds on the Fourth. Rensselaer was a real deserted village and not a single fire cracker exploded to break the monotony. A few of the lowly class, including the humble editor, who are not owners of automobiles, were forced to remain at home. The business part of the city was wholly deserted. Even the restaurants were closed most of the day. The picture shows were not largely attended and the quiteness would have done honor to the most holy Sabbath. Kankakee, 111., seemed to be the mecca to which most of the people from here flocked. It is reported that many farmers in this vicinity spent the day working on their farms. Next to getting a Hun this was the most patriotic service it was possible to render.

WHITE CAPS AT BURROWS CAMP

TRY TO BURN THE BUILDINGS BY THROWING LIGHTED WASTE IN GARAGE. ■■ An unsuccessful attempt was made a few days ago to burn Burrows Gamp at the Kankakee river near Tefft. AT large touring car containing five men drove up to the camp and stopped near the garage, where they lighted some greasy waste and threw it into the garage, then drove rapidly away. Fortunately the hired girl noticed the act and gave the alarm. The flames had gained considerable headway, but by hard work the fire was put*out before it did much damage. A day or two latter, John Smith, the proprietor of the resort, got a letter, signed “White Caps,” saying, “We failed this time, but the next time we will get you.” This camp has gained considerable notoriety since Mr. Burrows sold it a few years ago to Charles Smith, of Hammond. Smith run a tough place and sold liquor openly every day in the year and made no pretense of observing the law, and kept a negro ex-prize fighter at she place to act as and slug anyone who showed fight Smith finally had to go to war and turned the place over to his father, John Smith. There was no improvement in the manner of running the place and it is claimed that when the state went dry, the selling of liquor continued as openly as it did before the dry statute went into effect. It was claimed the liquor was brought there by truck from Illinois. Smith evidently did not find the business as satisfactory as he hoped, and recently he began dismatling some of the buildings and hauling them to Hammond, but was stopped by an injunction got out by Mr. Burrows, who holds a mortgage for $4,000 against the place, and was 'barred from foreclosure proceedings by the government ruling that no “snap” judgment can be taken against soldiers in the service. Smith has evidently become alarmed over the attempt to burn the property and the implied threat against his life and it is reported that he has ceased the sale of intoxicating liquors and is now confining himself to the sale of soft drinks and nearbeer. His family was down to visit him from Hammond the other day, but the women were quartered on this side of the river during their stay there, as they evidently preferred to take no chances. There was a large crowd at the place the Fourth and the “soft” drink bar seemed to be doing a large business. The buildings at the resort consist of a large residence, store room, dance hall, rooming house and numerous small buildings.

MRS. O. S. PENROD BADLY INJURED

James Gilbert, of Remington, received a telegram from Crown Point Thursday evening, informing him that his sister, Mrs. O. S. Penrod, was in the hospital at that place badly injured. Mr. and Mrs. Penrod drove through here the Fourth on their way from Lafayette to Chicago and spent a short time in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Leopold. Mrs. Penrod had been in Lafayette visiting a sister and had driven to Remington. From here she telegraphed for Mr. Penrod and he came from Chicago to drive the ear on through to that city. No particulars have been received here except that when near Shelby the car went into the ditch and that Mrs. Penrod was so severely injured that she had to be taken to the Crown Point hospital. The Penrods were for some time residents of this city and he was a part owner in the Columbia Furniture Company.
