RE-PURCHASE OF FARM IS COSTLY TO MONTICELLO MAN.

Monticello, Sept. 17.—Purchasing a farm twice Tn the short period of six weeks and paying $5,500 more for it the second time than he did the first time was the experience of Michael Renck, of this city, who on August 9 ‘bought a farm of 160 acres in West Point township for $13,400 and on Monday of this week re-purchased the farm for >5118,900, or $5,500 more than the original purchase price. The double purchase was caused by a provision of a law affecting the sale of land in partition suits, passed by the 1919 legislature. The law provides that when land is sold in partition suits, any person may file a bond for 10 per cent more than the purchase price within thirty days of the day of sale and cause the land to be re-sold. Few people, including even attorneys, are familiar with the statute. In this case the bond was filed by Charles Kleist, of Wolcott, on the thirtieth day and Albert Jones, of Wolcott, signed the bond as surety. -i-ats-E. B. Seyyers, an attorney of this city, was commissioned to sell the land and when the bond was filed was forced to re-advertise and resell the land in order to comply with the provisions of the law. This he did and on Monday' struck it off to Mr. Renck, the original purchaser, over two other bidders.

WASHINGTON NEWS IN BRIEF.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 17. Official and unofficial Washington greeted Gen. Pershing and the Ist division of the American expeditionary force with enthusiasm as they marched in a victory parade which marks the passing of the A. E. F. Such a martial parade Washington never before witnessed. Gen. Pershing was given a great ovation and narrowly escaped injury at the end of the parade line when his famous horse “Jeff” slipped on some flowers in the street, hurling his distinguished rider to the pavement. The general, luckily, was unhurt and proceeded to the reviewing stand none the worse for the accident. —o— There has been cabled to Washington an outline of a settlement of the Fiume controversy, representing a compromise between Italy and Jugo-iSlavia, which has been reached by the powers at Paris. Under the terms of the agreement Fiume will be a separate state, the harbor to be a free port. £ . —o —- Washington has received no reply from Japan to President Wilson's appeal for a definite promise to restore Shantung to China on a (fixed date. The assumption, here is that Japan is not pleased at the suggestion and the president may not prevail on the mikado’s government to help him out in the bitter controversy in the senate over the Shantung agreement in the peace treaty.

RUMORS RIFE; NOTHING TO SUBSTANTIATE THEM.

Two rumors of an entirely different character have been gliding about the streets of late and have the names of two prominent local parties connected with them. Each of the men whose names are mentioned in them bears an unsavory reputation in the community, and although there has been nothing bearing the stamp of authenticity in the rumors, nevertheless the natuxe of the offenses attributed to the men in question are entirely in keeping with the reputations they bear. --- One rumor is to the effect that a man known quite generally throughout the county is held K in jail in a neighboring city to answer to a charge of bigamy. The* man has a wife in this city and, so the rumor goes, he was again married in an Illinois city several weeks ago. The rumor is several weeks old and has ‘bobbed up so persistently of late that an air of truth is given it. However, no substantiating facts have been offered and The Republican is compelled to withhold the name of the party at this time. The other rumor concerns a man —perhaps we should say degenerate —whose escapades during the past several years have aroused indignation in every quarter. It is said that a few days ago he committed a criminal assault on a 15-year-«ld girl residing west of Rensselaer. Following the attack he left the community and has n6t been seen since. The authorities are working on the case and it is probable that there will he some developments in the near future.

RETURN FROM WESTERN VISIT.

It is Mrs. Michaels’ intention to sell her property here and move to Colorado some time before spring. Mr. Ritchey had been gone for the past three months, spending some time with his daughter, Mrs. Edna Joranger, at Great Falls, Mont.,, laiter going to Colorado, whdre he joined his sister and together they visited relatives at Colorado Springs, Colo., Topeka and Little River, Kans., on their way home. .

AUTOMOBILE RUNS OVER CHILD

LOUISE CARSON IS VICTIM OF AN AUTOMOBILE AC- * CIDENT. Louise Carson, the 7-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Carson, of Franklin street, was knocked down and run over by an automobile driven by Samuel Lowrey, a farmer living on the Baker farm three and one-half miles north of this city. The accident happened about 5 o’clock Wednesday evening. Mr. Lowrey was driving near the Carson home and a group of children were in the road and were going to an ice wagon. Mr. Lowrey slackened the speed of his car and thought that the children had passed before him I safely across the street. As he went forward it seems that Louise started to re-cross the road and before Mr. Lowrey could stop his machine it had knocked the child down and run over her. The little tot’s hip was badly bruised and she is bruised and' the i flesh is torn in several places on j her limbs and body. She fell between the wheels and this accounts ■ for the fact that her injuries are not more severe. Mr, Lowrey stopped his car and was anxious to do everything in his . power for the in jured child, but 1 Mr. Carson says that Mr. Lowrey ~ was wholly blameless. Louise is a lovely -little girl, vary attractive, and had just started to school, being 7 years old. Her injuries, while painful and will keep her from school for a time, are not serious. |

NO REASON FOR IT

When Rensselaer Citizens Show a Way.

Main street, says: have used iJoan’s Kidney different times when suffering; from a lame and aching back and other symptoms of disordered kidneys.

NAMED IN BIG FRAUD

GEORGE V. MOSS ONE OF 25 INDICTED FOR SWINDLE IN CHICAGO. __ George V. Moss, of Frankfort, Ind., and for many years a resident of this city, was one of the twenty-five members of an alleged 'band of swindlers to be indicted by the September grand jury in Chicago Wednesday. The members of the alleged gang were accused in' true [bills with swindles aggregating [5120,000,000. Charles W. French, a Chicagoan, is said to 'be the head of the gang which has bperated extensively in middle western states during the past few years. Eight indictments were returned against French and his bond was placed at SBO,OOO. Bonds for each defendant were fixed at SIO,OOO in each case. The true bills allege conspiracy, operating a confidence game and embezzlement. The first indictment voted accused French and eighteen conspirators with conspiracy to defidence game and obtaining money under false pretenses. This dealt with the incorporation of the Collins Security company, of which Frank H. Collins, head of a firm of bankers and brokers, was president. It is alleged by the prosecution that the floating of $2,000,000 worth of notes drawn on this company was meant for the purpose of defrauding George Arthur and Charles 'Stevens, who at the particular time had sold out their interests in the Moline Plow company, of Moline, Hl., for this amount. The indictment of Mr. Moss came as a great surprise to his friends in this city and many there are who are inclined to believe that he had no active part in the operation of the company and that the fraud was unintentional on his part. Mr. Moss spent his boyhood and early manhood in this city. He was known as a brilliant scholar and graduated with high honors from the local high school. Following his graduation he took a course in law, and upon the completion of the latter located in Frankfort, where he has met with much success in his chosen profession and where he _has always been regarded as a citizen of high standing. In a statement a few days ago Mr. Moss is quoted as having said that his connection with the company had not been an active one and that the illegal practices followed by the company came as news to him, and that he had manifested only a passing interest in the business of the company.
