JUDGE HANLEY LOST A HAT.

Along last February ex-appel-late Judge. U. G. Wiley, was here attending court and, as Judge Wiley is an ardent republican, tihe political pot was looked into by the Judge and the local attorneys and -Judge Hanley, and its contents discussed quite freely. Judge Wiley saw nothing ahead for his party but defeat in the November election, while Judge Hanley took a more hopeful view. Wiley finally “guessed” a new five dollar hat with Judge Hanley "that the republicans would not elect two congressmen from Indiana, Judge Hanley feeling tihat as they had but two it couldn’t possibly be worse. < But Wiley proved the best guesser, and Crumpacker was the only republican congressman elected from Indiana last Tuesday, and he by only about 1700 plurality in a ditsrict normaly" republican by 5,000 to 6,000. If you see Judge Hanley wearing ’his last year’s hat this season you will know why this is thus.
