SETTLED DISPUTED QUESTION JUDGE VANFLEET ROLES IN FAVOR OF SALOONISTS. Claims License Dates From Time Granted on an Appeal to the Superior Court. * Judge Van Fleet of the superior court at Elkhart rendered a decision Thursday morning that settles a long disputed question in Elkhart, says the News-Times. The liquor cases of Jonathan Morris and Clias A. Smith have occupied the attention of the court, both alleging that they have the right to continue to dispense liquor under their license from the time that they were given permission so to do by the superior court, after having been turned down by the commissioners. In the case of Morris he was first granted' a license on March 9, by the commissioners and this was later taken away from him by order of the court, but ori an appeal to the superior court on May 23, he was given the right to resume business. Morris claimed that his license would therefore date from May 23, instead of from the date of granting the license by the commissioners and won his point. The Smith case is similar. “THE WOLF” To be Acted at Goshen Thursday Night, October 15th. On Thursday night, Oct. 15th at the Jefferson in Goshen, Messrs. Sam S. and Lee Shubert will offer for the first time in this vicinity. “The Wolf.” One of the many striking features in the play is said to be the finale of the last act, which is played on a dark stage with the moon hidden behind dense clouds. The fight between the two star characters is not seen by the audience, but the exchange of defiance, the pistol shots and the scuffle, with the sound of a falling body at last, are heard and until the winner in the fight reveals his face by the glare of a match with which he is calmly lighting a cigarette, the audience Is in doubt as to the outcome. “The Wolf” is by Eugene Walter, whose play. “Paid in Full” recently given in Goshen and was wifcr* nessed by several Nappanee people. The prices for “The Wolf” range from 25 cents to $1.50.

ROYAL TIGERS DEFEAT GOSHEN (Continued from Ist page.) reasonable excuse, and does now, that any umpire is liable to misjudge a play, and the fans misjudge the umpire. But it was simply hard luck for the Tigers that their own umpire should “pinch” them o-Ut of a wellearned game by “rotten” decisions. Tlie Plymouth men, or at least a number of the players acknowledged that two of the decisions, at least, should have been for the Tigers on which they took the long end of the score. Plymouth got but three hits off Tobias, while the Tigers swatted Lindsie for five. Manager Volkmann states to the Nkw's that Capt. Blehl “sold the game” to Plymouth for 35, for which he has been released from the team. The Tigers’ agreement with the fair association was that there should be no quarreling, and they had to “play on” under any circumstances.

NEW IDEA MANURE SPREADER

‘The New Idea certaAly lias advantages over other Manure Spreaders. The New Idea is quite different from other spreaders, first, it is very near the ground making it nice to load into and is usually drawn with but two hnrsps. - Second—lt is different from other Spreaders because it is much narrower and can be drawn through a smaller gate or door and stored away in a smaller room. k Third—lt differs from other Spreaders because it has two cylinders and thejm'anure passes out between the two instead of over the top of one cylinder ' only. After the manure passes through between the two cylinders it passes into the distributors which thoroughly pulverizes and distributes the manure upon the soil. - The,New Idea can be seen at ; Neff Brothers.
