IS NOT LEGAL

WILL HAVE TO BE DONE ALL OVER AGAIN, AS ONE MEMBER WAS NOT A LEGAL

VOTER—HAD FAILED TO REGISTER

HEW WITNESSES TO BE CALLED

And All Old Ground Gone Over On Thursday—When Jury Adjourned Monday, it Was Discovered That

Joseph Roberts, the Foreman of the Grand Jury, Had Failed to Register, Which Bars Him From Serving.

The grand jury which was called into session Monday morning to investigate the case of Joseph Hicks, now in the county jail for killing Oscar Martin at Shirley, did not complete their work, as it was expected they would. They desired to examine several more witnesses who live in Henry county and at Shirley, and adjourned their session until Thursday to have the additional witnesses summoned.

When Monday's session was adjourned it was learned that Joseph Roberts, of Green township, the foreman, had failed to register, and was thus not qualified to serve on the jury under the new law. The •work of the session Monday will all have to be gone over again at Thursday's session because of Mr. Roberts not being a qualified voter.

B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE. Virginia Harned, the famous emotional actress supported by a strong legitimate cast, will be headlined at B. F. Keith's Indianapolis theater, the week beginning Oct. 28th in a stirring romantic drama entitled "The Call of Paris." Always a great favorite in the legitimate field, Miss Harned is proving an even stronger drawing card in vaudeville. In spite of the unusually big cost of the bill, there will be no advance in prices at Keith's during the Harned engagement.

Another unusual attraction of the bill will be the first appearance of M'lle Sumiko, the celebrated prima donna soprano of the imperial opera, Tokio, Japan. Sumiko will appear in a cycle of quaint songs and will be assisted by a native musical director T. S. Takaori. The third uncommonly important feature of the bill will be the appearance of Homer Lind, the actor vocalist, in a diverting serio-comic short drama entitled, "The Opera Singer." Stuart and Keeley, internationally known professionals and whose home is in Indianapolis, will offer their odd dancing novelty. McKay/-and Cantwell return with an entirely new act called, "A Breeze From Broadway." Nip and Tuck, sensational comedy acrobats will open the show and the performance will close with a thrilling wire exhibition by the Jungmann troupe.

B. F. Keith's theater will be open every Sunday afternoon and evening throughout the season with entertainment furnished by professional singers and entertainers, augmented by displays of the latest imported motion views.

ing this new privilege in the fullest sense. Automobiles passed over the new bridge by the scores, going in either direction. Many people also went to inspect the new work and they pronounce it a good bridge. The foot passenger walk on the inside of the north railing has not been completed as yet, but the work will be pushed. When completed, this will be one of-the best and handsomest in the county.

MY POLICY

(Private Car Excursion October 29, 1912)

THIS IS NOT an "unloading" proposition. Read this through and you will see why. My policy is not simply to sell. I am interested beyond the mere sale. My interests remain side by side with those of the purchaser.

I WANT contented settlers and satisfied buyers. I have a lot of them already, but I want a lot more. On my last excursion in September, I had two carloads of them.

BEHIND THE SWIGART PLAN, and associated with me in the work, I have a large, strong, hustling land organization working in unison with buyers and settlers in the development and upbuilding of this Tract. THIS IS NOT a "clean-up" and then "get away" land selling scheme. After I hand you your deed, our mutual interests will continue. We will work together. I remain to see the settlers through. I have been identified with this Tract for nearly 17 years. What has been accomplished, the settlers there will tell you, and the evidence is there in plain view of all who will look. There has been no bubble boom about it. STEADY, SUBSTANTIAL progress has brought about the present good showing of good farms, good homes, miles and miles of new roads, new fences, producing fields, many good schools, new towns, telephones, etc. It is a remarkable showing when you consider that 17 years ago the district was almost uninhabited, when I acquired the nucleus of the present Swigart Tract from lumbermen who had not until then finished their cuts. I have since bought many large holdings and added them to the Swigart Tract, and am doing so at every good opportunity. In the past five years this Tract has been developing and settling more rapidly than any other new land in Michigan. THIS IS NOT a remote, untried district where a man goes and has to learn the agricultural possibilities through his own experiences. You can now see what is being actually accomplished. The crops have been tried and proven. I keep agricultural experts on the lands at my Michigan headquarters, whose advice is free to every one and under whose direction my demonstration farm is operated for the instruction of all interested. My faith in the land is further demonstrated by the fact that I am developing in the center of the Tract what will be one of the largest fruit orchards in the State of Michigan. THIS IS NOT a locality that has been all sold up and is at a standstill. We are'going ahead with improvements every day in the Swigart Tract. Have just finished a fine bridge over one of our biggest streams. Another church has just been completed. A canal is almost finished and will connect three beautiful lakes. The first of seven power dams was completed last month—took a year to build. Millions of dollars will be spent on this power project. There is room for more improvements and more settlers. Recent additions in acreage make this Tract the largest in Michigan's Fruit Belt from which to make your selection.

COME AND SEE the lands. If you like a country that is new, which shows on every hand that it is forging rapidly ahead and is full of opportunities, here is one. Come and talk with the settlers. It is only a half day's ride from Chicago. There is a splendid chance for men of moderate means here. YOU CAN BUY excellent land from $10 to $35 per acre and a -very large selection of land at $17 per acre that is level, well drained and will raise as much rye, oats, wheat, clover, alfalfa and timothy as some of the best land in Illinois and Indiana and far better crops of potatoes, peas, beans and all root, crops. Land properly developed in fruits of the right varieties brings a net income of $200 and more per acre in this district. The terms are now as low as $10 to $50 down and $5 to $10 per month on 40 acres. ^If you should die while buying the land, will deed it to your family, frpe from any futher payment 5 per cent off for all cash or yearly payments if preferred. THERE IS SO MUCH in this proposition that is of interest to the man who wants to get ahead that you ought to send for my prospectus at once and post yourself. It contains 38 pages and many scenes photographed on the lands. It will be ma.iled to you free. Send me your name on a postal card and ask also for a large map. INVESTIGATE the 10-acre tracts especially selected and laid out near towns. These tracts are just right for truck, fruit and poultry. Business and residence lots in two new towns on the main line of the P. M. Ry. Summer resort lots on the Wellston Chain of Lakes. Ask for plats and description of these properties. MY NEXT EXCURSION LEAVES my Chicago offices at 11:30 a. m. Tuesday, October 29. A special Pullman car will be attached to the Pere Marquette train, as usual, for the exclusive use of my party no extra charge. You will be back in Chicago at 7 a. m. either Thursday or Friday following, being absent only one or two days, as you prefer. Tickets good for a week. Stay longer if you wish. Train passes through Michigan City (P. M. depot only) at 1:25 p. m. Round trip from Chicago or Michigan City to Wellston, Mich., $6. Get tickets after boarding my car. Fare rebated on your purchase. Good accommodations for both men and women at Michigan headquarters. Teams, automobiles service guides furnished free.
