The residence of Peter Buck, the well known Goodland butcher, was entered by burglars on last Saturday night and his pockets robbed of SIOO in cash. Peter’s pants and shoes were found the next morning in the alley in the rear of his barn.

The Blotsky damage case against tne Monon railroad, taken from this county to Newton on change of venue, was decided this week in favor of plaintiff, who was awarded SSO damages. Blotsky, it will be remembered, was a traveling man who had paid fare on a Monon train to Fair Oaks last spring or winter and was carried by and compelled to pay fare to Rensselaer, the next stopping place, the conductor taking his overcoat when he refused to pay the fare because he had been carried by his station.

Walker tp., in this county is one of the largest townships in Indiana, and thus far has but one voting place. By reason of this and the fact that many of the voters would necessarily have to travel some 14 to 16 miles to the polls and return, quite a number of voters have heretofore remained at home on election day. There are now enough voters in the township to entitle Walker to two voting precincts. But, before she can have another precinct, over 250 votes must be cast at the precinct already established, therefore it behooves every voter in that township, no matter how far he has to go, to get out to the polls at the coming election. Then, if an excess of 250 votes are cast, another voting precinct will be established before another election is held and voters will not be obliged to travel only about one-half the distance to reach the polls that they now have to. Remember this, voters, and make up your minds to get out on election day.
