INFLUENZA SEEMS TO BE ON THE INCREASE

Consultation with the physicians of the city today reveals the fact that there are a considerable number of new cases <of the influenza in this city and surrounding community. A large number of people who attended the stock show in Chicago seem to foe coming down with the disease. The doctors think the disease is spread/in large gatherings like the stock show, and even worse an riding on the train. The seriousness of the epidemic should impress everyone with the idea of avoiding in every way possible the contraction of this terrible disease. Among the large number of new cases, fortunately, none at this time seem to be serious.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, MONDAY, DECEMBER S, 1919.

PEDAGOGUE IS FINED

SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DEMOTTE SCHOOL GUILTY OF ASSAULT. Bert Llewellen, superintendent of the DeMotte school in this county, was found guilty Saturday by Squire S. C. Irwin of assault and battery upon one of his pupils and was fined SI.OO and costs, the full amount being $50.70. The case had -greatly agitated the otherwise quiet village of DeMotte and a large number were here to attend the trial. James Russell filed the complaint against the school man, charging assault and battery upon his fourteen year old son, Orvel Russel. Thft evidence in the case seemed to be as follows: On November 26 a number of the school boys at DeMotte were playing in a rough manner upon the school ground. A number of them had piled upon the Russell boy and with some very emphatic oaths he invited them to-get off. These words were heard by the watchful pedagogue and he rushed upon the scene as the boys, with the exception of Russell, scattered. A number of the boys in perfect harmony, almost letter perfect, swore in the justice court that before the Russel' boy cohid get up the professor pinned him to the ground with his knee and gave the lad three heavy hits in the face.

The school man then asked the boy if he was going to swear upon the school ground any more. The lad did not reply and the f ormer physical exercise of the superintendent was repeated. After this the iboy then gave a real demonstration of IMS ability to use emphatic adjectives and adverbs, many of which were derivities of the words taken from sacred writ. For this the iboy was again severely punished, and after being freed from the irate pedagogue Ihe lad ooked like he had been the loser in a ight with the town bouncer. The evidence convinced the judge that the teacher had been too severe with the lad and the fine and costs as per above followed. The case bas 'been appealed to the circuit court. Deputy Prosecutor C. M. Sands was assisted by Attorney A'braham Halleck. Llewellen was represented by Attorney Moses Leopold.

HAD BEEN DEAD FOR SIX WEEKS

FULL ACCOUNT OF GRUESOME FIND IN A DESERTED MONON HOTEL. The remains of Thomas Tyner, who had made Ms home in Monon for several years, were found in his room at the deserted Cottage hotel in Monon Sunday, Dec. 1, in a badly decomposed condition. Jaimes Robinson, a passenger brakesman, who also had a room at the Cottage hotel, was the last to see Mr. Tyner alive and the first to see his decayed body, after an intermission of six weeks. Tyner was in the habit of absenting himself from town and Robinson thought nothing was wrong when he tried to enter his room about the middle <of October and found the door locked. Tyner had mentioned going out of town thfe night before and Robinson, supposing he had gone, paid no more attention to him. Sunday while in his room in company with A. C. lobinson, a 'Monon lineman, the circumstances of Tyner’s disappearance

wais discussed and it was decided to vidt Lis room. The two gained entrance by a ladder placed at his window, which was open, and a ghastly scene confronted them. The body, partially covered, lay in the bed, reuced to skin and bones and beyond eoognition. Coroner M. M. Hughes was called and held an inquest Sunday ftemoon, the verdict attributing eath to valvular heart trouble. The ead man’s clothing hung over the oat of the bed and ninety cents was taken from his pockets. No other beongings of consequence were found. Deceased was 72 years old, unmarried, and was a half brother of C. E. Tyfhier, formerly of this city. Be gave his occupation as a plasterer when he came there several years ago. Burial was made in the Osborn cemetery Monday, Dec. 2, no funeral ceremony being held. The Cottage hotel, just east of the Mjonon passenger station, was abandoned by its owner, Mrs. M. Hoback, about si£ months ago on account otf her poor health, and she has since been in\tbe county infirmary. Thomas Tyner and Mr. Robinson seem to have been the sole occupants of the hotel since her departure, and they were merely roomers. The exact date of Tyner’s death will never be known, but the condition of his remains when found indicate that dissolution came soon after Robinson last saw him alive. The Cottage hotel was the scene _of a printer’s tragic death a few years ago. J, 'L. Pitts, an employe of the Monon News, died there alone from an overdose of morphine.
