Judge Bernetha Has Foreclosed Mortgage Against the Property Originally Cost $50,000 to Build.

What is known as the old Thayer mansion located on south Michigan street, the largest and most costly residence of the city, was ordered sold by Judge Bernetha in the circuit court Saturday morning to satisfy the claims of creditors against the property. The present owner of the mansion is Frank L. Fowler and wife of Chicago. Since its ownership by its builder, the late Hon. H. G. Thayer, the residence' has passed through mauy hands. The late William L. Gear, purchased the property for the sum of $20,000 a few years ago, and with his family resided therein for a couple of years. Since then it has been owned by William M. Brown, and Frank L. Fowler, both residents of Chicago. The original estimated cost of the Thayer mansion, is $50,000 and when furnished, is said to have cost its builder $80,000. When recently offered for sale, the mansion would not bring $10,000. It is a large three and a half story brick structure with some fifty rooms. Situated in a large beautiful yard, with roadways, etc., when kept in repair, it was a beautiful spot. Today the fine structure is suffering for the want of repairs, and is rapidly depreciating in value. v Foreclose Mortgage. The reason for the order of the sale of the mansion, is -the conclusion of a suit to foreclose mortgage by the Aetna Life Insurance Co., of Hartford, Conn., who hold a claim of $5G13.53 against the property. A claim of $863.73 is held by Francis M. Reed, who has that claim for payment of taxes on tfye property. The suit was entered as follows: Aetna Life Insurance Co., versus William M. Brown, Maud Brown his wife, Frank Fowler, and Fowler his wife, William L. Gear, and Mattie J. Gear his wife, and Frank M. Reed to foreLAPAZ GRADUATING CLASS IS COMPOSED OF SIXTEEN MEMBERS IN THIS YEAR'S CLASS. Commencement Will Be Held on May 21st Baccalaureate Sermon May 16th.

Miss Hazel Soice Entertains B. D's in Honor of a BrideElect. Close on to five years ago a jolly crowd of girls organized what was known as the B. D's, which consisted of thirteen little maids, bound together by friendship ties. They were formally known as the Princesses DeLa Pressen, De La Curly Head, De La Roughonrats, De La Yeller, De La Pieface, DeLa Blockhead, De La Chop Souey, De La Lopsey Loupsey, De La Quickstep, De La Humpty Dink, De La Tender Foot. Seasons have come and gone. Likewise changes have taken place among this happy band. Heretofore busy Cupid has failed to pierce the hearus. of any of these crafty misses, and the first victim is none other than the little Princess Humpty Dink." Miss Hazel Soice -was hostess to a reunion of the crowd in honor of Miss Frances Thayer at the home of the former on west LaPorte street Thursday evening. A three course dinner was served at which the color scheme of pink and green was carried out The favors being pink hyacinths in their green foliage. Poor Princess DeLa Humpty Dink. A trying ordeal was in store for her. In the roomtu were stretched net work of strings. She began to trace each from start to finish and was rewarded at each end with a box of stationery. It was feared for a time tha: she would give way under the strain, but she was revived by a sight ot what was revealed back of the davenport. The Little Princess.' departure will be greatly regretted and in this band especially a void created which no other presence can quite make up for. They would not insist on her staying, because her duties call her elsevhere. So here's to her success. One who was there. From An Indiana Veteran. Editor Plymouth Tribune: I was much delighted to read an article in last week's Tribune giving a pen picture of the work of the 75th Indiana infantry on the 17th of August 1803. I belonged to that grand old regiment and was in every march, battle and skirmish until November 25, 18C3, when we encountered the Confederate rear guard edst of Missionary Ridge and were ordered to lie down within fifteen rods of the enemy's line. After firing five shots I was knocked out by a musket ball which struck me in the right shoulder, and I am still out. I shall never recover from the effects of that shot. A. Row.

Score 3 to 0 Clippers Play Nice Game Three Double Plays Pitcher Stars.

The Plymouth Clippers played their initial game in a brisk wind storm at the local ball park Sunday, winning from the Warsaw city team by the score of three to nothing. The Warsaw team was reinforced by Milford players, but were outclassed at all stages of the game by tbe Clippers. Middleton starred for the locals, getting nine strikeouts against the visitors one, by Enhardt. Twice the Clipper pitcher kept the visitors from scoring with men on second and third bases, and with only one out, a score seemed certain. An easy strike out, and a grounder to first base retired the side however, and after that, the visitors did riot get the chance. Considering the strong, cold wind, both teams played an excellent game. Only two errors could be blamed on- the wind, and both of these were made by the locals, in muffling high flyers. The Warsaw team is credited with seven errors, four of which were made in the sixth inning, and cost the visitors two scores. All of the scores were made on errors.there being but three hits credited to each sideu The Warsaw team then lost the game on errors.

In Attempt to Meddle in Mattet of High School Annual Editor Displays Ignorance. In an article directed at the managers of "The High School Annual", which is to be published by the class of '09jof the Plymouth High School, the editor of the Democrat displays his ignorance of the art of printing, and incidentally reveals what he would do to the students, if he could land the contract for printing, which has been awarded the Tribune office. The Dernocrat editor speaks of the students being charged $6.00 for ELECTROTYPES, which should only cost about $3.50. Now it is quite probable that if the aforesaid editor of the Democrat had got the contract, he might have charged the students the sum of $3.50 for electrotypes spoken of, in said article. BUT no electrotypes are going to be used in the publication, and if they were, they could be obtained for the sum ot 50 or GO cents apiece. The "Annual" will use a number of halftone cuts, but no electrotypes. These halftones are secured directly from an engraving house by the students themselves, the Tribune having no hand in buying the halftone cuts. For the benefit of the editor of the Demociat it may be said that the members of the Senior class would forego the publication of the. annurd if the contract was given to the Democrat. This was expressed by the class at a meeting held at the first of this school year. While the young men were soliciting advertisements for the publication, three business men of the city inquired if the annual was to be published at the Democrat, and if so, to kindly cancel their contract for advertising. It seems that the students as well as the public, are on to the Democrat and its editor, A simple illustration of what might have happened to the students is revealed in two bills for legal advertising, presented to the county commissioners for payment yesterday. The bills were foi publishing the same notice. The bill from the Tribune according to the legal rate was $7.25.- The bill from the Democrat was $8.37. You know the rest. Simply one illustration out of a hundred. Attend Funeral of Relative. Franz Huba has received word of the death of his cousin, Mrs. J. Gardner, who died at Mishawaka '.Monday.
