Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 41, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 January 1906 — WHERE JOHN WON OUT. [ARTICLE]

WHERE JOHN WON OUT.

U. M. Banghman, E. Gerber, Geo. Ketchum, Eugene Spitler, J. A. McFarland, John Eger and F. E. Babcock took in the Jackson Day banquet at Lafayette Monday night, but John Eger out-dis* tanced The bunch by getting his “phiz” included in the Indianapolis News’ cartoon of State notables in attendance. It was a pretty good pictnre of John, too, and he enjoys the distinction of being the only man from this district who was included in the cartoon, and had his name prefaced with “Hon.” All the rest of the boys hiked off to bed but John and Geo. Ketchum, who waited up for the early morning train. During this time, the others say, John apparently stole a march on the bunch and “sat” for his picture. However, they jealously say, he’s not telling the rest of them how many cigars, etc., etc., it cost him. All report an excellent time.
