Three Head of Cattle Killed Saturday Evening Hail in Jackson Township.
The electrical storm Saturday evening resulted in a loss to two farmers in this county. They are Archie Brooks, who lives on the Dr. Milo Gibbs farm in Jackson township, who had a $65 cow killed by lightning. He had only recently purchased the cow at the sale of Otto Montgomery.

PERFORMING MARE
Wonderfully Intelligent Animal is Owned By Hugh S. McCormack of Jackson Tp.
Hugh L. McCormack, son of Samuel McCormack, of Jackson township, was in Greenfield today. He is arranging to enter the Indiana Veterinary College at Indianapolis. He has always taken a great interest in horses and when here had with him a farm mare which gave an exhibition which was full of interest to the many persons wbj witnessed her manifestations of knowledge at Huston's livery barn. She seemed to understand to a wonderful degree many things that young McCormack said to her.
With only an ear of corn, from which he occasionally let her have a few grains, he induced her to respond to many questions and indicate that she understood what was expected of her. She indicated by strokes of her foot how old she was and wiien asked how old she would be next June, she increased the number of strokes by the addition of one. She would cross her fore legs when asked to do so, and would turn around while her feet were in the crossed position. When asked if she was lame she indicated that she was, and began to limp. When asked how the boys bid their girls goodnight, she raised her mouth up to her trainer's face as if to kiss him. When^ asked how the boys felt after being out all night, she yawned like she was sleepy, and when asked to indicate further how the boys felt, she closed her eyes and gaped. She did many other things requested by her owner.
Mr. McCormack thinks all horses are more intelligent than they are generally supposed to be, and that they can be taught to do' many wonderful things. This mare is a gentle farm nag, and a good family general purpose animal. She will be sold at Jhe sale of Samuel Mcjp#Cormack, September 19th. ff-V -:iv •••tpf.

EDEN TEAM WISER SINCE SUNDAY 8AME
Failed to Score Or Even Come Near it in the First Game With Gray Brothers New
Palestine Next
The Eden base ball team is much wiser since Sunday's game with Gray Brothers' team of this city, when they failed to score once or come near it in any way.
The close of the game showed a score of 13 to 0 in favor of the local team, which had been instructed to play ball from start to finish, and they played. There was a good attendance, but the game was marred by an accident to Coxie Wills, a member of the local team, who was hit with a bat and laid out for a time. One of the batters tossed the ball bat and it struck Wills back of the ear.
On next Sunday the New Palestine team will be here to play with Gray Brothers' team, and the Sunday following Fortville will come for another game.
