—o — Sheriff O’Connor took James M. Hill to the asylum at Long Cliff Tuesday. He realized that he was “off” and was anxious to go. Mr. O’Connor had no trouble whatever with him and Jim’s friends will be glad to learn that it is thought he will soon be cured. The sheriff says that “Dutch Henry” is improving and will no doubt be let out in a short time. Joe Marshall and all the others of Jasper county’s large contingent at Long Cliff are not improving any. Mrs. Frank Zacher was not taken until yesterday, owing to the crowded condition of the women’s department of the asylum. —o — The sheriff had two sheriff’s sales Saturday which, under the old law giving the sheriff all the fees of his office, would have made him a pretty good day’s work. One sale was that of the K. of P. building, which was bid off by the Dickinson Trust Co., of Richmond, Ind., the holders of the first mortgage, for $15,401.39, the amount of the mortgage and accrued costs. They were the only bidders on the property. The sheriff's fees on this sale alone were $235.34. The other sale was that of some real estate of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Puckett of Remington, ona mortgage held by James Hogan of Remington, and on which the sheriff’s fees of sale were $17.73. In this case also the mortgagee was the only bidder. Benj. Neill a respected and hard working gentleman of near Pleasant Grove, was in the city Tuesday seeking a little legal advice. Last September he became tired of living alone and took unto himself another wife, in the person of Mrs. Alice Shroll. After Mr. Neill had gone to his wdrk Monday morning, she, with the assistance of her son-in-law of Kouts, loaded in most all the household goods and some of Mr. Neill’s, he says, and went to Kouts where he thinks she intends to stay. They had gotten along fairly well together and he did not know that she intended to leave him. Mr. Neill has a few pieces of property at different points and was somewhat concerned over a threat she is alleged to have made that she would sue him for support. He went home feeling much better over the matter after having talked with his lawyer. Extraordinary clothing values to July 4th at the Cbioago Bargain Store.
