CUTTING SCRAPE AT STAR CITY

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT, INFATUATED WITH STUDENT, ATTEMPTS TO SLAY RIVAL James McCloud, a young man of Star City, lies at the point of death at his home in that city, the result of knife wounds inflicted by the jealous-crazed superintendent of the public schools of Star City, Hopper by name. The attempted slaying occurred as McCloud drove his automobile into a garage Saturday night, and was the result of the attention being shown McCloud by one of the Star City schopl girls. Hopper is a married man with three children. Hopper gave the greater part of his time to the young school girl, forgetting his home and family, in his attempt to win the favor of the young lady. His efforts, however, met with failure and McCloud proved too strong a suitor to overcome. Hopper became enraged and is said to have made the statement that he would “get” McCloud if it was the last thing he ever done. As McCloud drove his automobile Into one of the Star City garages Saturday night, Hopper followed ‘him in and as McCloud bent over the machine to make some minor adjustment, Hopper drew a large knife from his pocket and lunged at McCloud, slashing nun across the face and body. several times. Hopper then went into the garage office and McCloud went in search of a gun. In the meantime Hopper left for Winamac where he gave himself up to the sheriff. W. L. Bott was a visitor in Star City Sunday and spates that the citizens of that place are very indignant over the affair and' that the feeling against Hopper is very bitter. Hopper was the principal of the Winamac schools last year, where it is said that he bore a very ,bad reputation.

'Mr. and Mrs. Marion Jewell of Lafayette were Sunday guests of the latter’s mother, Mrs. Nathan Fendig. L. R. Eisenberger of Chicago was the week-end guest of his wife, Who is spending the summer here With her mother.

Fit Yourself to Conquer.

Tou must see the rainbows In the future if you would be a builder who touches men. You must forget the lowering clouds and Impending storms. Their present hindering will but swell the tide flowing your way later. There’s something godlike in the enthusiastic soul. Enthusiasm paints Its own stars in the mental firmament and then draws from them light You might as well try to pull the sun from the sky as to hinder the youth who Is led by enthusiasm. His life Is too buoyant to be held down by oppression. Injustice merely makes him a martyr and wins the to him. And when he feels the opposition of unthinking men he will rise to greater heights as he thrills those who listen with the story of his wrongs. What he gees or thinks he sees makes him Irresistible and fits him to conquer.—Grit

WHEATFIELD DEFEATED ST. JOSEPH SUNDAY

The St. Joe varsity base ball team went to Wheatfield Sunday for a game with the new organized club of thqt place, and received a setback ill the way of a 8 to 5 trouncing, the home club battering the offering of Wellman, the college hurler, and driving him from the box. Meyers of the home club did well, tightening in the pinches and turning back the St. Joe stickers when they assumed a threatening attitude. However, the collegians bunched their hits sufficiently enough to make the game interesting. Fendig, Wheatfield catcher, led his mates with the stick and accounted for several of the run manufactured by Wheatfield. The Wheatfield club is composed of many of t£e old time players who formerly placed Wheatfield well up in base ball circles. Tom. and Carlie Jensen are on the infield and Miller, the heavy hitting outfielder, is going as well as he ever did, and Meyers is coming back to .sueh an extent that Wheatfield is going to be quite a formidable outfit. , , The teams which played yesterday will meet again Memorial day.
