position.

Tlte fact that the Sot),000 in bonds which will be sold by the school board to enable it to make the improvements could under the present law bear only 4'^ percent interest, was the hindrance. There is no market for bonds at that rate of interest now. Governor Goodrich told the Putnam county men that one matter the state Legislature would take up at its special meeting to be held next week would be to pass a bill legalizing a 6 percent interest rate on bonds issued for school purposes. The school board has under consideration bids for the improvement work. However nothing definite will he done until the matter of an interest rate is adjusted. Then the contracts will be let and the work started.

HOME OK JOHN NICHOLS IS ROBBED ON WEDNESDAY

The home of John Ninhols, about 4 miles east of Greenoastle was robbed Wednesday night of a suit of clothing and a gold watch and chain. It is presumed that the robber was a man who was seen in the neighborhood several times that day. The home wt^s robbed early in the evening while Mr. Nichols was in Fillmore. The .thief gained entrance through a window.

They weighed 50D pounds each and were four an.I one-half feet high. \On som 1 * parts oi the Una the country was so rugged that mounds of dirt and rocks Itad .to be substituted for these stones. Today tho Mason-Dlxon line has been resurveyed and remarks,! and ,li ve rted of tt» chief erroneous traditions In 1S49 a revision of the line was made hy a Joint commission from Pennayl vania, Maryland and Delaware, and it was then found that the change in volved by the correction amounted to less than two acres, which were added to. Maryland. In 19*kl Pennsylvania anti Maryland each appropriated $5,000 for the restoration of the line. Many of the peculiar English stones had disappeared, and the commission made an exhaustive search for them. The Identlilcath n was an easy task, for, on breaking the.ni, the stones emit •ed a sulphurous odor. So thorough was the search that some were found lu (he curbing of streets and In people's collars. One was taken from the wall of an old stone 'church, where It had done service for many years. In places of those that could not he found ne-.v stones of msrble were set it p. On every fifth stone the coat of arms of William Penn was cut on the Penn sylvania ride and on the .Maryland side H e c.-icutehepa of Lord Baltimore was plat ed.

F rst Fight Msxicjrt Style Scheduled In the Hiatory of Coak

County.

Chicago.—In the barnyard of a farm a mile or so from the Glen View Golf club there Is a Jersey hull who Is suffering from a Imd attack of nerves. Every time anyone comes near him he snort*, hacks away and crawls unde* Hie barn. If you were to come up to him suddenly and wave a hnndtierclrlef In hi* face he would try to Jump over the windmill and bellow

for help.

There was a time when Claude— that's his name had the reputation of being the most ferocious hull In Cook county But yesterday the com hinatlon of a hull fighter armed with a lath “espada” and a bed quilt, a professor of history, a riding master and twenty cheering "co-eds" from North western University proved too much

for him.

More Is the story of Cook county's flrst and only hull fight and the tin doing of Claude: At 1128 Foster Ave. there la a riding school, conducted hy Walter C. Du Brock. Among his patrons are several members of Northwestern University faculty aod a score or more co-eds. It has been their custom to meet at the school Saturday- and ride to a picnic enclosure near tl.c* Glen View club, owned by Mr Du Brock Among the acquaintances of the latter Is “Ike” Levin, who has been a hull fighter in Mexico. Tlte other <tay he suggested that he display to Mr. Du Brock's pupils just how the sport was carried on. After meeting at the school, the parly there were twenty young women and as many men—rode out to the club. Included In the party was Prof Harry Nightingale, head of Hie history department of the Evanston academy. After a picnic’ luncheon Mr. Du Lrock „nd Prof. Nightingale went over to ine (arm of George Nielson to borrow Claude. The twenty co-eds scrambled hastily onto the roof of a sited within the enclosure, while tlte men in Hie party got behind the fence. At'ired In the regulation costume, "Toreador" Levin stood In Hi* middle of the enclosure waving a gorgeous bed quilt The co-eds sang the torea tier song from "Carmen.” Suddenly snouts were heard fr,.n' a pat> h of woods within Hie enclosure, and out dashed Claude. He was b?l loving and shaking his heal fer

oclously.

"Brave el torol" shouted the spe, ta tor* "Viva el matador!" V. hereupon Hio toreador stepped fo r ward a yard or two and waved tlte be.iquilt "capa.” Claude., not to be outdone, also stepped forward, waving hit head. In this fashion they came to within a few feet of each other. Then Levin raised Ms lath and smote Claude on dhe brow. < “Viva!" 1 shrieked themed*, “What a splendid demonstration of alacrity!’' called the professor encour-

agingly

It was too much for Claude. An “x presslon of librrid, desperate fear crept Into Ills eyes and he suddonty turned

«n,l fled.

Mr. PuRrock, assuming the duties of a pIcadoF and arm„d with th brtneh of & tree, chance,! to be tn the line of Claude's retreat. But Cibude aaw nor heard nbt, with the result that the picador suddenly rose in the air, coming down on all fours as the bull

disappeared among the trees.

A searching party was sent after Claude, but lie was nowhere to be found. A wrecked gate and a path of cut up turf'leading to bis own barn-

Jetmore, Kan.—“When the One-Man Railroad grade Is built an additional mile It will be out of the woods " This is the way the people look at the efforts of Rudolph Meyer, proprietor of the “One-Man Railroad" In Hodgeman County. When the work now completed Is pushed forward another mile It will be up on the flat country that stretches off toward Garden City, fil'ty miles away The grade will have reached the flat land* that make further expensive grade work untie, es-

sa ry

But the people of Jetmore know but little more of Meyer than any one else In Kansas. He keep* his own coiinael. He Will talk, aod talk freely, about everything but Ills actual plans. Ha enjoys his talk with strangers, but they go away no better Informed than

before.

The building of this One-Man Railroad grade lias almost teased to he a wonder hero. For four years Rudolph Meyer has been at work on. it. Sundays were no exception, and early and late his animals dragged the dirt from th“ pita to the tops of the grade of pulled hug* stonas from the aide of a

Putnam county high school basket ball promises to take on more interest this fall than ever before, due to the tact that three of the leading high school in the county will be coach ed hy former DeDauw basket ball men Greencastle will be led by “Big” Smith, as last year, itainbridge will have as r . her coach Donovan Moffett, star hack guard on last years DePanw team and also all-rourfd atheletir star of the Tiger team. Russellville will be coached by Harold Newgent, another DePauw man and former star on the Greencastle High School team. Keen rivalry has existed between these three schools for the past several years, and interest promises to increase this year due to the coaching staffs. Rttsselville may have the edge on the other two teams because four men are left from last year's team These same four men have played for the past three years on the same team team. Bainbridge and Greencastle both have good second year material from which the coaches will attempt to build winning combinations and the results of the games between these teams this fall promises to be more than of ordinary interest in this coun-

ty.
