Jasper County Democrat, Volume 17, Number 12, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 May 1914 — New Republican Paper at Fowler. [ARTICLE]

New Republican Paper at Fowler.

John p. Carr, who recently bought back the plant of the defunct Fowler Republican at sheriff’s sale, will start,a new republican paper which he will christen The. Tribune. Mr. Carr for a number of years published the Oxford Tribune, selling it some twenty odd years ago and started the Fowler Leader,' later christened the RepublicanLeader. His paper championed the progressive party in the last presidential campaign, and later Mr. Carr sold the paper and it once more took up the republican cause. Failing to make good in a financial way, the new owners sold the business and, good will to George Robey, of the Benton Review, the democratic organ of Benton county, and the plant was recently sold at sheriff’s sale, Mr. Carr buying it in to save his interests in the plant. Bro. Carr has always published a bright paper, but it is reported, has never made a success of the financial end of the business. He has several hundred acres of fine land near'Chaimera, left him by his father, and if he don’t hang on too long in the newspaper business he will probably be able to make both ends meet. However, The Democrat welcomes John P. back to the fraternity and wishes him lots of success in his new venture. < rashes Throng,li Depot; Hammond, Ind., .May 12. The Monon railway had another remarkable experience at Dewitt early Tuesday morning. Just when the young cyclone raging east was at its worst, it took the little jlepot at Dewitt and deposited it on the track. The Louisville-Chicago flyer, with the '.same engineer driving it that was wrecked last week, was tearing : through the storm. Engineer Sunii merville saw the obstruction too late and opened the throttle wide. The train ripped through the depot and flying timbers flew past the windows. Passengers thought a terrible ' wreck impended and were panic I stricken but no damage was done to 'the train.
