CUSS OF 1913

LK3 CELEBRATE GLASS MY

The Class Spade, emblematic of burying of all- ill feelings, was then presented to Ralph Eruner, President of the Junior Class, by Robert Mulivihill, President of the Senior Class. He was told to keep it. and in his turn present it to the Juniors of next year. The Class memorium a copper frieze of the noted men of America, was then presented to the school by President Mulivihill, and Principal Kendall accepted it in the name of the school. Miss Elizabeth Williams, the supervisor of Music, then sang a solo, after which talks were made by Miss Sample, Miss Corcoran, Miss Hayes, Supt. Larrabee, Mrs. Jackson, Mr. Andrews and Mrs. Holland, a former teacher of the class, who was their guest.

At noon, a feast was spread by the Seniors, and the Faculty invited to have one square meal in their lives. Space will not perifrit telling of the various dishes prepared to tempt the appetite of the reluctant teachers, but,, strange to say, most of it disapeared, moulding the strawberries served with ice cream as a last course. After the dinner had disappeared an athletic meet was held in the yard back of the school building. No records were broken.

Sunshine Circle.

Through kindness of the T. H. T. & E. local superintendent, the Sunshine Circle made a successful trip to the home of Mrs. Otto Lacy near Cleveland Thursday afternoon. Fifteen members shared the pleasures of the day. This being a regular meeting, the usual program was enjoyed. Scripture reading by Mrs. Tyner, an exceedingly interesting article on Mary Magdalen by Mrs. Zimmerman, and "Women as Inventors," by Mrs. Fred Rose. The Circle is still reaping the harvest from aid bestowed upon the flood sufferers. The social hour, in charge of Mrs. Zimmerman, proved to the public that each and all are well versed in telegram writing. This formed an excellent mental assurance. Business being concluded, the hostess, assisted by Mrs. Lacy, of Greenfield, served excellent refreshments and the class adjourned to meet with Mrs. Poe Rock, May 29th. All felt the benefits of this meeting, even Miss Austin ,who was truly sorry Greenfield was so near at hand.

Automobile In a Garden Judge Earl Sample has a nice new Studebaker, No. 35, touring car, but it will not run real well in plowed ground. Tuesday evening while Judge Sample and family were taking a pleasure ride around town by some means the car got away from the control of the driver at the corner of South Pennsylvania and Grove streets, and ran across the sidewalk into the garden of Oliver Tucker. As soon as the machine struck the soft plowed ground, it stopped as its weight caused it to sink deep into the mellow soil. Judge Sample, who is a skilled driver, was not at the wheel. The machine, however, was not injured in the least' and no one was hurt by the acident.

Walter Scott is the agent of the Standard Oil Company's tanks in the west part of the city where he has a stable in which he keeps his horsest The horses were stolen the evening of April 14.

They were located by Sheriff Warrum in the sale stables of Blake & Baker, at the Union Stock Yards the next day. By keeping quiet and having the horses sold in the regular way the thief was deceived into having a representative call for the money. The man who was sent for the money was Walter Watson. He was arrested and he then led the officers to Earl Spain, whom he said sent for the money. Spain was arrested, and both were brought to Greenfield and have been in jail here since.

Prosecutor Hiram Thomas is representing the State and Edwin Glascock, of the firm of Jackson & Glascock, and John B. Hinchman, of the firm of Quigley & Hinchman, are representing the defendant.

The jury is made up of the following men: Freeman Braddock, •John Dobbins, John Collins, "Ivan Low, Franklin Barnard, J. W. Trittipo, .J. T. Burlc, W- H. Arnett, Oscar Leonard, J.. W. Hinchman, Jesse Barnard, Calvin Jackson. The jury trying the case is the regular panel except Mr. Trittipo.

The witnesses for the state in the order in which they were calLed were, Walter Seott, owner of the horses, Harry Lloyd, to whom the horses were turned over to at the sale stables by Spain, Walter Watson. who was sent after the money by Spain, George Stewart and Martin Halley, 'detectives who arrested the men.

The state closed its case Wednesday noon. The defendant took the witness stand after noon and claimed that he was not in Greenfield at the time the horses were stolen. That he had gone to Ohio to see his family, and that he had just returned when he was arrested. He admitted that he had served time in prison in Indana, but not in Ohio. The state proceeded on the theory that he had served time in the peniteneary in Ohio. He said that he worked four, fears in a factory in Ohio. He admitted that his right name is Earl Spain. He seemed to show quite a great deal of feeling and shed some tears. The case went to the jury about noon Thursday.-

LOCAL ATHLETES STAR FOR BOILER

Rafferty and Arnold Make Good, Winning From DePauw, 5 to 3. Pavey Js Manager of Team

Butler College surprised themselves yesterday when they won from DePauw with a score of 5 to 3. The dope was that DePauw would have a walk-away, as they had won most of their games this season.

Greenfield had more than her share in the victory as the battery was composed of Rex Rafferty and Ralph Arnold, while Jesse Pavey is the team manager. The Indianapolis Star says "The pitching of Rafferty and the receiving of Arnold, both of Butler featured the play. "Rafferty had the erstwhile swatters from DePauw feeding out of his hand, and only four safe hits were registered off his offerings. Three singles and a "double were the best that they could do with him. On the other hand, the Butler men used the stick to- a good advantage, and pounded the ball to all corners of the lot. They secured seven hits off Fleming and Patterson. "The. number of hits does not tell of the hard hitting of the local collegians. The outfield of the DePauw nine acepted several hard chances. The play of the Methodists was somewhat faulty, as they had four errors chalked up against them. Only one of these figured in the Butler scoring column, however. The Butler men had two misplays and played a lightning game behind Rafferty. The freshman recruit struck out three men. Fleming, of DePauw, struck _out seven and Patterson two.

Pref. F. E. Ellis Accepts Position.

Prof. F. E. Ellis, who has been Principal of the Greenwood High School, for the past several years, has acepted a position in the Greenfield High School for Mathmatic and class in oratory and athletics.

This is a much better position than Mr. Ellis has been filling for the past few years, and we congratulate him on his success in obtaining such a good place and position which no doubt will plact him in line for a higher and still more lusrative place in the larger schools of the state in the future.

Mr .Ellis is an excellent teacher, a good mixer with the people and has good control at all times of the scholars under him. He has made a great many friends while in our midst and they together with his scholars, who think well of him, are lothe to see him go.

He has made a success of teaching in Greenwood schools as can be evidenced in the graduating class of this year, it being the largest in the history of the school, numbering 27, too which we must attribute the credit for the same to Mr. Ellis' untiring and ceaseless efforts to bring the Greenwood scools to the highest point of perfection.

We regret that Mr. Ellis is to leave us, for all of our relations with this gentleman have been pleasant, and we can say to the citinzens of Greenfield that they may rest assured that the school board of their city has made no mistake, and at the same time console ourselves with the thought that what is Greenwood's loss is Greenfield's gain.

Mr. Ellis is also an able singer and has rendered valuable assistance to the churches in singing solos and to other organizations who will sadly miss his efforts and help in this line.—Greenwood* Era.

STUTZ MOTOR CO. TS

Drivers Take Out Insurance Policies—Poliey Effective While Driver is On the Track,

Indianapolis, May 16.—That automobile racing is 146,100 times more dangerous for the participants than the ordinary profession has developed through the action, of the Stutz Motor Car Company in insuring its team of six men, who will drive cars in the third annual 500 mile International Sweepstakes Race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. May 30th. The London Lloyds took the risk, the policy being for $30,000, at a premium of $1,000. The policy is effective only while the drivers are' on the track, In other words, for, two and one-half days, estimating' their attendance at an average of two hours a day for the next month. Calculated for a year, a premium of $1,000 on $30,000 for two and one-half days amounts to a rate of 487 per cent. The regular rate, figured on the basis of $5 on $1,500 for a year is .003 1-3. This is just 146,100 times less than the racing percentage.

Sixty drivers and mechanics will start in the long grind May 30th.: It is quite probable that everyone of these men has insurance which carries the same rate as that issued to the Stutz people. Those who like theoretical figuring might: obtain as astounding results if they should suppose that this rate ap~: plied to men working eight hours a day, 365 days in the year. The final total, paid to the insurance companies would indeed run into-, high finance.
