GLEANED from the EXCHANCES

Leonard Rooze, age 18, a farm laborer in Tippecanoe county, was killed late Monday beneath a disc when a team of horses ran away and he was thrown under the revolving blades. Another employe, who was working nearby, stopped the horses, but not before Rooze was dead. Rav. I. 'H. Ade, who had been the pastor of the United Brethren churches at Mt. Ayr and Aix for some time, and was recently returned there, has resigned on account of inadequate salary. The, Mt. Ayr charge was willing to do its share toward raising the salary, but the Aix people thought they were paying all they could stand, hence the resignation. Irregularities and shortages in the accounts of Luther Worl, Grant county treasurer, are alleged in a certified report received ht Marion following an examination by two experts from the state board of accounts. Worl was indicted by the grand jury Sept. 23, charging him with embezzlement and misapproipriation of funds to the amount of $21,233.55. The concrete silo on the farm of William H.
