DEATH ENDS CAREER OF NAVAL
"Fighting Rob"' Evans Succumbs to Sudden Attack of Indigestion— Was Sick Only Two Hours.
A Washington dispatch contains the news of the death of Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, or "Fighting Bob," as he was known all over the country. His death was due to acute indigestion, and he was ill only two hours.
The sudden and unexpected death of this great naval hero has caused the country lo lose one of its most brilliant and able officers. Glowing tributes are paid to him by the nation's foremost citizens, all feeling the loss to be a personal one as well as a national one.
Entitled to Fee in Special Case. That prosecuting attorneys are entitled to their $5 fees in cases where the maximum fine does not reach the $5 mark under the law, is the opinion of Thomas M. Hanon, attorney-general of Indiana. Mr. Hanon rendered the opinion in response to a communication from H. H. Evans, piosecuting attorney for Henry county. Mr. Evans wrote to the attorney-general after the trial of Alvan Cross, who pleaded guilty to the charge of shooting firearms unlawfully and was fined the maximum amount of $3, together with the costs in the case. Under an old statute it was held that the prosecuting attorney was not entitled to a fee because of the amount of the fine. Mr. Evans then wrote to the attorney-general and asked for his opinion on the matter.
This has been a much mooted question among prosecuting attorneys. It has not been the custom to collect the fee.

NEW YEARS SENTIMENT OF GOVERNOR MARSHALL
in old Korea New Year's Day is the anniversary of your birth, regardless of the true day, provided you are entitled to celebrate. But to join in the festivities you must, have settled, to the satisfaction of your creditors, not, only your own debts, lint any that may have been left by your deceased father. Life is measured there hy duly done rather than by length of days.
ing, however weak its flesh may be. with him that is a worthy rival of He sees a people unafraid, being the ones recently related by Frank
armed with the consciousness of a desire for right thinking and high living unashamed, having in all the years agone borne upon the bosom of their intentions "the white lily of a blameless life," unawed, the past giving guerdon of their willingness to die if need be for the cause that needs assistance, and the wrongs that need resistance. do not know whether you and I have paid the debts we owe to God, to country, to home. If not, let us this day begin to pay, so that when the Lord's bouse is builded again upon Mount Zion, the pilgrim, with script and staff, who seeks it, there to worship, will wend his way to our own Indiana.
TIIOS. R. MARSHALL.
Be a Good Fisherman.
Everyone has to fish for what he gets. Others may possibly bait and take off the prize from the hook and paddle the boat, but the fishing has to be done by your own hand. Every other means you may try will turn out a failure.
The records in the county clerk's office show that the sum of $57.39 was collected in jury fees in 1911, and $604 in fines during the year, and turned over to the County Treasurer.
F. G. Banker, of Indianapolis, formerly a member of the Greenfield City Council, was in Greenfield Wednesday afternoon.
