COMING “The Woman Thou . Gavest Me”

WILL NOT HAVE TO UNDERGO ANOTHER OPERATION.

'Lieut. Gwin Thomas, son of Surveyor and Mrs. George A. Thomas, of Monticello, will not be forced to undergo another operation at the present time, according to information reaching 'his parents Wednesday. Lieutenant Thomas has already submitted to five operations during the time he has been confined in the military hospitals since he was wounded in August, 1918, and returned to the Walter Reed ,hospital at Washington a short time ago, after a thirty day sick leave spent at Monticello and Rensselaer, for the sixth operation. Lieutenant Thomas was wounded in battle when his ’ left leg was shattered by a shell; he was sent to a military hospital in France and shortly after contracted influenza which developed into pneumonia; he was critically ill for a long time and was only very slightly improved when he was returned to the. United States; when he arrived at Staten Island this condition was alarming and his parents were summoned to his bedside. There he submitted to operations for the removal of pus from his lungs, which although some what successful was not entirely so; he was then transferred to the Walter Reed hospital at Washington and there again was under the surgeon’s knife; during all of this time his condition was such that no special attention could be given the injured leg; finally when his condition would permit he was given a thirty day sick leave in the hopes of gaining additional strength to undergo an operation for the graftling of a bone in the leg, which he [expected to have done when he re- | turned to the hospital; however, i since that time he 'has undergone many examinations by eminent army physicians, who are of the opinion that with radiant heat and massage treatment an operation may be avoided. Lieutenant Thomas stated in a letter that the leg was gradually improving as the result of the few treatments, which he had received. Lieutenant Thomas was married to Miss Lura Halleck, of Rensselaer, while a> patient in Debarkation Hospital No. 2 at Staten Island and she has since been with him. At the time of her marriage Miss Halleck was employed as a war worker at Washington, D. C.

URGED TO THROW HAT INTO RING

STRONG. SENTIMENT FOR POPULAR STOCKMAN TO RACE FOR GOVERNORSHIP. [By Robert O. Graves.] Kentland, Ind., July 16.—'While the cattle men and others recently attending the annual Hereford sale at Orchard Lake Stock farms were congregated in the beautjful little city of Kentland, one heard from many of these visitors the question: “Will Warren T. McCray be a candidate for governor of Indiana again?” - No one seems to know What McCray’s intentions are along political lines, and when, today, he was found behind a ma?s of correspondence and at the same time attempting to entertain some of (his visitors, and there bluntly asked the question concerning his political intentions, he replied: “Don’t you think a farmer and a cattle man has about all he can do?” But, as he smilingly gave this evasive answer to the question, one was led to believe that perhaps behind the evasion there might have been some thought of again “throwing has hat into the ring” and again making the race for the governorship of Indiana. Warren T. McCray is not a politician, as we know politicians. He is an extremely successful farmer and stockman. He knows the “boys” about the country and calls each of them by name, but his friends say that he never shakes hands in the peculiar manner of the politicians which means “I am shaking your hand because I want your help.” This man, so say his friends, is ever ready to do something for his people—to extend kindnesses —to meet one alike on all occasions. He is a worker and a doer of things. He is influential because his neighbors have confidence in him after the years of acquaintance which they 'have had, and because they have all found him honest. He is a man of executive ability, and administrative force. These are the attributes which one hears on every si(le in and about this, the home of Mr. McCray. Many of them express an opinion —a wish —that Warren T. McCray should be placed in the gubernatorial chair. They want this man who is a man of the people and whom the people know and love as a neighbor and a citizen. A fair and unbiased man who casually meets the “common” people of northwestern Indiana and questions them on the subject is surprised to find the sentiment that is freely expressed and favorable to Warren T. McCray for the governorship of Indiana. »

CONCERT ATTRACTED LARGE CROWD LAST EVENING.

The opening band concert of the season was held last evening with the result that a large crowd was on hand to greet the musicians after an absence of two years. Doubtless the crowd would 'have 'been much larger had it not been that the country people are so busy at the present time with their threshing. Thee members are highly elated over the interest shown by the public and assert that they have the' nucleus for the best musical organization that ever represented the city. Professor Tooner,- St. Joseph musical director, is directing the boys and rapid progress is expected to be made under him. »

ONE OF TWO AUTO BANDITS IS BROUGHT TO THIS CITY.

John Breiska, one of the men taken by the farmers of Newton county, following his having shot the deputy sheriff of Newton county at Lake Village Tuesday, was brought to Rensselaer today and lodged in jail.

PRAISED RENSSELAER SCOUTS VERY HIGHLY.

That Rensselaer has a Boy Scout organization of which she may well be proud is shown in a very flattering remark made hy an official at Culver Military academy, where the Scouts visited last Saturday. The Scouts, in change of Scoutmaster Edson Murray, visited the woodcraft camp at the academy, where they were met by Chief Wallace, who took them through the camp. Mr. Wallace complimented the local lads on their manly conduct and their neat appearance, asserting that he 'had never seen a finer organization.

BUSINESS MEN HOLD CALLED MEETING.

A called meeting was held by the business men of the city in the court room this Thursday forenoon.

Quarles, who is a representative of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce. That body is making an effort to have the freight rates in Indiana equalized with those of Illinois. It seems that Indiana shippers are required to pay albout thirty per cent higher rates than the Illinois Shippers for the same service. A committee was appointed by Chairman Fendig to look into the matter and if it is deemed advisable an attempt will be made “to raise a sum of money to help in the effort to get the rates adjusted. The committee consists of the following, members: F. L. Hoover, H. H. Potter, D. E. Grow and Fred Arnott.

FOWLER FLYER FALLS TO DEATH

LIEUT. CHARLES G. MAUZY IS KILLED IN 600-FOOT DROP AT LOS ANGELES. Lieut. Charles G. Mauzy, Jr., of Fowler, was killed Tuesday at 10 a. m., when an airplane which he was maneuvering over Los Angeles went into a tail spin and fell six hundred feet. The message received by the family gave no details ■other than to announce the death and the cause and to state that the body was being shipped to Fowler at government expense. Young Mauzy enlisted in the aviation service and in November, 1917, was sent to Cornell university, where he received his ground work training. Later he was transferred to Dallas, Tex., then to Waco, Tex., and finally to Rockwell field, San Diego, Cal., where he has been serving as an instructor for several months. It is not known whether he was accompanied by a student when the accident took'place. The deceased was the son of C. G. MaUzy, who has long been -prominently identified with republican politics in Benton county. The young man was born in the jail at Fowler at the time his father was serving as sheriff of the county. His mother died many years ago and a younger brother died in a hospital in this city of pneumonia a few days after the state basketball tournament was held here. The brother was a member of the Pine township team. Lieut. Mauzy is survived by his father, Charles G. Mauzy, one sister, Mrs. W. t B. Hall, of Otterbein, two half-sisters, Marjorie and Dorothy, and a half-brother, Warren. Relatives do not expect the body to arrive at Fowler until Saturday or Sunday, at which time the funeral arrangements will be announced. The interment will! be made in the Fowler cemetery.
