TOKEN OF APPRECIATION FOR EACH SOLDIER.

As a tokfcn of appreciation for the services rendered by the sons of Jasper county during the late world war, the county council Tuesday voted an appropriation of $1,200 to purchase for each soldier in the county some small memento of a lasting nature, designating them as having (been a soldier in the war from this county. Following the making of the appropriation, the county commissioners voted to purchase six hundred sterling silver rings. On the top of the ring will be a cut out design of Jasper county. On one side wall be the county seal in the form of a wreath encircling a sheaf of wheat. The opposite side will contain the great seal of the state of Indiana. In the Jasper county design will be the words: “.Presented by Jasper County, Indiana, to Her Sons in the World War, 1917-19.” The design is a clever one and the rings will be a gift that will be greatly appreciated by the eoldiiers. In some quarters the idea met with opposition, those opposing it saying that the expenditure was too great.

MURRAY SENT TO REFORMATORY

I EDMOND MURRAY, FORMERLY OF THIS CITY, GUILTY OF GRAND LARCENY. Edmond Murray, a youth 23 years old whose home is in Lafayette, and who was arrested in that city on August 9 after an exciting chase, by the Lafayette police on charges, of automobile theft, burglary, arson and passing worthless checks, later ■being brought to Monticello and placed in the county jail, was taken before Judge B. F. Carr in the White circuit court yesterday afternoon to stand trial. The young man was brought to this city because of an offense which he was alleged to have committed at Monon. On the night of August 8 he drove up to the electric shop of Archie Lee, of Monon, and unlocking the door, all the time talking to James Wilson, the night watch, turned on the lights and began carrying off some of the . contents of the store, telling Mr. Wilson he was assiisting Mr. Lee with' an electric job at Reynolds. According to his story which he told in the court room yesterday the electrical appliances which he ■carried off were valued at S2OO. The ypung man then carried r away his loot in an automobile which he confessed yesterday he stole from a Lafayette man. Murray some time ago conducted an electric shop at Wolcott, but he failed there and was "also charged with having passed some worthless checks in that town. His mother, Mrs. E. J. Murray, resides at West Lafayette. - The young man’s experiences are worthy of some of the escapades of the bandits of old. He was given a sentence of one to fourteen years in the Indiana reformatory at Jeffersonville by Judge Carr. He was taken to that city this afternoon by Sheriff Ben Price, Jr.—‘Monticello Journal. Don’t forget the cafeteria supper to be given by the ladies of the M. E. church Tuesday, September 9th.

TROUBLE AT HAMMOND IS RENEWED IN STRIKE.

Hammond, Ind., Sept. 2.—Strike sympathizers picketed all four sides of the plant of the Standard Steel Car company here early today, stopping twenty men who were on a street car on their way to work and ordering them to keep away from the establishment. Policemen responded to a call, forced an entrance through the crowd that had gathered and escorted ’ the employes inside the plant. Peter Austgen, chief of police, is preparing to stop any attempt at disorder tomorrow as a result of threats by the strike sympathizers. One man, John Medina, has been arrested in connection with the trouble. Approximately 2,000 employes went on strike several weeks ago, and as a result of disorder, Indiana militiamen were sent here recently by Governor Goodrich. As long as the troops were on guard there was no trouble, but comparatively few of the strikers went back to work. The militiamen were withdrawn after the governor had been notified by the local authorities that they ■ thought they could control the situation. The strikers are asking a wage increase from 42 to 50 cents an hour, an eight-hour day and recognition of their union.

Tardieu said. He added that the Anglo-Franeo-Ameriean treaty would safeguard France from future aggression. Mrs. Sarah Miller, who had been visiting relatives at Mt. Ayr, returned today to her home in Lafayette.

IRA DEWEY, 15 YEARS OF AGE, IN SUICIDE ATTEMPT TUESDAY EVENING. Ira Dewey, 15-year-old son of Jacob Dewey, residing six miles south of Rensselaer on the Remington road, lies at the point of death in the county hospital in this city, the result of a self-inflicted bullet wound administered about dusk Tuesday evening during a fit of anger. Small hope is held out for his recovery, and his condition this Wednesday morning is extremely critical. The bullet passed through the two walls of the stomach and the left lobe of the liver, lodging in the spine. A hurried trip was made to Rensselaer and an X-<ray examination disclosed the extent of the wounds. An unmediate operation . was performed and a drain placed in the stomach. However, the patient’s condition would not permit the removing of the bullet. - Dewey’s deed followed an altercation with his father, who had asked him to help with the chores. It is said that the boy refused to do so, Whereupon his father told him to “forget his foolishness and come along.” Dewey replied that he would kill himself, went to the house and, procured a rifle and ran down the road. His father followed but was too late to prevent the rash act. The boy was lying beside the rifle in a small wood. It is said that the young man possessed a violent temper and that on several occasions had threatened to leave home, "being discontented with farm life.
