FOUGHT IN THE BATTLE OF YORKEY'S RUN

John Van Buren and daughter of Odanah, Wis., who had visited Omar Morlan and other friends here, left today for an lowa sanitarium where he will have his daughter, who is in poor health, treated. Mr. Van Buren, who is an Indian, attended the Indian baseball team and was playing in the games which resulted in the famous battle of Yorkey’s Run at Remington. A man living in this city has written to Representative W. L. Wood, who is now attending the special seMion of the Indiana General Assembly in Indianapolis, asking the law maker to introduce a bill making more fish in the Iroquois river and requiring the women to do the work. Everybody knows the man s name so we save ink and paper by not mentioning it. It has developed that little Ruby Sirois, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Neil Sirois, of Shelby, suffered two broken limbs in the tragedy which took three lives at Water Valley last week when a Monon train struck an automobile in which she whs riding. Her condition is still serious but it is thought that she will recover.
