\V. S. Pugh

The death of Postmaster Willard S. Pugh removes one of Greenfield's best known citizens. He has been identified with the business of Greenfield for many years, and had "made many friends. He was a pharmacist of exceptional knowledge and experience. For several years he was connected with the

Crescent Pharmacy of A. C. Pilkenion, and was afterwards in the drug business for himself. He had airways been an earnest Democrat in politics, and look a deep interest in Jocal and national party matters.

Though a ^emocrat, believing in his parly, lie denounced things which he regarded wrong even in his own party, and for that reason he made some political enemies, but it never caused him to waver in his allegiance to his party, nor to desist in his condemnation of the things that he regarded as wrong. He belonged to that wing of the Democratic party in Indiana which was opposed to what is known as boss rule. He was strong in his support of President Wilson, William Jennings Bryan and Congressman Finiv II. Gray. Mr. Gray appointed him postmaster, and it seemed to be his constant aim to prove that Mr. Gray made no mistake in doing so. It is our opinion that Greenfield never had a postmaster which made greater etYort 1o do his whole duty more persistently than Mr. Pugh. and as one of the employes of the office said today. he not. only tried to make a good postmaster, but he did make a most excellent one. He was absolutely impartial. He knew no special friends when it came to the discharge of his official duly. He won the confidence and respect of the public, and the confidence, respect and affection of the postoffice employes, most of whom were of different political belief from him. It can be truthfully said of him that officially he knew nothing but duty. His death is exceptionally sad and unfortunate.

The deceased had suffered from ill health at different times, and had been at great expense, so that he had not been able to accumulate much property, and it seems that it. is especially unfortunate that he should die so soon after he had accepted a lucrative position. His family have the sincere sympathy of a large circle of friends.

Observations in Business Results. A man reviewing the successes and failures in business in Greenfield gave if as his opinion that no element entered into the of any business so much as close and constant attention. He said men of very moderate ability had succeeded while other men apparently very shrewd had failed. He said in most cases the men who stayed right with their business, even after they appreciated that they were making and accumulating money, surprised their friends with their success, but that these men who, just as soon as they began to make a little money, neglected their business and began to take on increased expenditures and pleasures, were the ones who had failed. He said there were a number of examples in many different lines of business in our city.

The Republicans of Indiana are organizing in a most systematic manner. It is theft determination to place a state ticket before the people of Indiana which will command the confidence of the people at this time when the incompetency of the Democratic administration is so cljparly manifest.

The Republicans are saying to the Progressives, "Lot's get together." If they do not form a union the responsibility is on the Progressives. If both go down in defeat and lose their political influences in the affairs of the country, the Progressives will be to blame for the conditions.

The mention of the names of Hugh Th. Miller and E. D. Crumpacker as probable candidates for United States Senator, strikes a popular chord among Republicans for the reason that those men have not been identified with party factions in the state, and at the same time they are strong men.

Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Helbert, of Fortville, were in this city Saturday.- V/v ..

Ward Martindale. who lives in Brown township, and who is one of the best known young farmers and stock raisers in Hancock county, recently sold a fine pair of draft mares for -?700. They were sold to a man in Dark county, Ohio. The horses had been in the show ring seventy-two times, and never failed but twice to come within the first or second money.

In talking about the-condition of the horse market. Mr. Martindale said that only the very best horses were now bringing high prices. He said that fairly good horses Were dull, and that the market for the general run of horses was duller this spring, after they have been fed through the winter, than they were last fall. He-says many farmers have already broken a large amount of corn ground, and instead of buying horses to

ground, many farmers are offering their horses for sale. He does not think the prospects for a good market for the best grade of horses gives much promise for the future. He says the auto truck in the cities and the steam plows are sure to have their effect on the demand for horses.

TWELVE MEN CHOSEN TO TRY WM. BROWN

Young Man Accused of Killing Constable Albert Hawkins at Iiigalls, Pleads Self Defense

The jury was accepted Tuesday afternoon at Anderson to try William Brown, a young man accused of first degree murder in connection with tIte death of Albert Haw-

The state will demand the death penalty. Brown and his father were arrested on charges of having killed the constable wiio was engaged in or had made a raid on a "blind tiger" and the subject of temperance and illegal sale of liquor entered largely into the questions in selecting a jury.

The killing of Hawkins caused a great deal of excitement, and the defendant claims that he acted only in self defense. Until the opening statements were made, it was believed he would plead insanity.

MM COMES IN US ROARING llOt

If Old Sign Holds Good the Winter Will Soon Be Ovqr—First Day of Spring Month a Twister.

Well, if there is anything in the old saying that if March comes in like a lion it will go out like a lamb, we have something to be thankful for in the weather of Sunday. The first day of the first' spring month was certainly a twister. The lion not only roared, but shrieked and screamed during the entire day and evening, and seemed to become more angry with each passing hour.

Saturday the temperature was: 4(5 degrees above zero and the snowj was melting and leaving the streets in streams. Within a few hours there was a change of 30 degrees,' Sunday morning showing 10 degrees above, with a. raging northwest1 wind blowing until it almost Look the breath and chilled one to the.| bone. It was almost impossible to that keep houses warm, with the wind out every crevice and

opening. So strong was the wind that it rattled doors and windows and at times took on the appearance of a regular storm, not abating until late at night.

According to weather reports there has been only one first day of March since 1874 when the weather was as cold as it was Sunday, and that was in 1891. when the mercury touched 8 degrees! above zero. Relief from the pres-1 ent cold is promised within the next few hours, however, and a major-
