Mr. and Mrs. Dan Lakin, Homer Lakin, Frank Lakin and Frank Shindelar of Union tp., left Tuesday on a prospecting trip through Oklahoma and Indian Territory. We understand that Air. and Mrs. Dan Lakin expect to locate at or near Tulsa, I. T. The Kentland Enterprise says that it* is believed that at least sixteen indictments have been returned against F. D. Gilman, the absconding Goodland banker, and that a strong effort will be made to capture him. It is thought he has been given a tip and has left Chicago. The fifth annual meeting of the Northwest Indiana Conference, Woman’s Home Aiissionary Society, will be held at the Al E. church in this city next Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 25-26. A cordial invitation is extended to the public to come out to the meetings. The Democrat thinks that a stop should be made to the disfigurement of the coping and sidewalks about the public square in printing announcements of football games or any other attractions. We hope this matter will be looked after by the proper authorities and action taken that will put a stop to any more signs or announcements being painted thereon. JOHN RAMP BADLY HURT. *\Jobn Ramp, the 19-year-old son of Air. and Mrs. Charles Ramp, met with a very serious accident Alonday evening while pitching hay from a mow at their home on South Division street. After pitching down the hay, he threw down the fork and jumped down himself, thinking the fork had fallen over to one side. Instead of this, however, the fork stood erect, and he alighted on the handle. The fork handle penetrated the rectum some eight or ten itfches, and he was most seriously hurt. He managed to remove the fork handle and made his way to the house. A doctor was at once summoned and everything possible is being done for him. A Chicago specialist was here Thursday and with Drs. English and Kresler performed an operation for the relief of the unfortunate lad. The operation is said to have been successful, so far as sewing up the rents in the intestines are concerned, and the boy stood the operation well. Alf the stitches hold, the specialist thinks he will get along all right now, but he is in a very serious condition.
