KNOTT SUFFERS SEVERE FRACTURE WHILE MAKING SICK CALL. Compound Fracture of Bones in Ankle---Will be Confined for Several Weeks. Dr. D. C. Knott met with a serious accident while on his way on a sick call at 7:30 Thursday evening, which will result in his confinement for several weeks. The injury which consists of what is known as a Potts fracture, was caused by his slipping upon the icy sidewalk on the incline on east Laporte street, at the alley in the rear of the Leonard furniture store. The large bone of the right ankle was broken, the tibia fractured, and six of the small bones of the foot were dislocated. The injury was very painful, because besides of the compound fracture, and dislocations, the ligaments and muscles of the foot and ankle were lacerated, torn and sprained. Dr. Knott was enroute to the resident of Harry Langfelt, when the accident occurred. He passed Mr. Langfelt at the foot of the incline, and spoke to him. Walking a few steps further, one of his rubbers came off, and the foot slipped on the ice, causing his fall. The doctor arose and did not realize his injury until he had attempted to walk when the fractured foot gave way. Mr. Langfelt was called and with the assistance of others the injured man was taken to his home on north Center Street. Intensive Cultivation. From a tract of four square miles in Central Xew York $300,000 worth of fniit, mostly grapes and peaches, were sold this season. This is about $120 an acre for the whole tract, but owing tc ravines and broken hillsides or it, the actual land under cultivation yielded nearly $200 per acre. large part of it was from small farms of ten or twenty acres. Invasive cultivation produces thesf results not amazing, but such as are within reach of all the enterprising and id lustrious. Will Reside at Culver. Ed. Bergman son of Mr. and Mrs. I. IC. Bergman who vas recently marriedl to Miss Grace Fanning in this city, Friday purchased a house and lot in Culver, which will b furnished at once, and the voting couple will reside there The property was purchased of Mrs. Mena Myers and is located in 'what is known a the Vandalia addition.

Brackett and Morris CShelton, on account was filed in the county clerks office Saturday being a chan.ge from Fulton county.

The amount of the claim is for labor and material furnished, in the sum of $158G.12. O'Keefe asks for 80 per cent of the- amount of $1,208.81). H. A.

Is Happily Wedded to Fair One of His Choice Fred Myers Responsible. County Treasurer Fred Myers is responsible for the whole business. By representations to the license issuing clerk, by the employment of schemes and dark intrigues, Charlie Miller was able to slip away from Plymouth, armed with a marriage license, and accompanied! by the idol of his heart, her sister, and the tratorous citizen Myers, and to reach South Ben'd unmolested, where they were married by W. S. Howard at two o'clock Sunday afternoon.

Dispatch Tells of Bequeathment by Wealthy Plymouth Man to Eastern Girl.

The following dispatch to the Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette, concerning a large bequeathment by a supposed wealthy Plymouth man, to a Philadelphia manicurist is a fake, pure and simple. There is no attorney in Plymouth or Marshall county by the name of Wm. Bates, neitheris there any property in this city or county owned by any Frank Dayton. This latter name is not even known in this city. Following is dispatch published in the morning paper: Philadelphia, Dec. 10. A letter from an Indiana attorney apprising her that she had fallen heir to a fortune of about 25,000 has caused 'Miss Emma B. Alexander of Xo. 110 North Sixteenth street, a manicure to cease work and bask in the dream of coming luxury. "One night, just before Christmas, four years ago," she said today, 'T was leaving a department store in which I was then employed, when -I saw a man with a cane alighting from a car. He was plainly a cripple and I ran over and helped him and then walked with him to the sidewalk. He said hei was on his way to the Reading Terminal, and I piloted him through the holiday crowd to the station. "Just before leaving me he ask. ed me my name and address, and a few days, later I received! a letter from him, dated New York. I replied ariiJ for two years we kept up a correspondence. He told me that his name was Frank Dayton, that he lived in 'Plymouth, Ind., and that he was a cattle Vfealer and had ranches in Arizona. "A few weeks ago he wrote me that he was quite ill and in subsequent letters said that he doubted! that he would survive. His illness, he said, was due to his old injury. He said he expected to remember me for the kindness I had done four years ago. "Last Monday I received a letter signed! by Wm. F. Bates, an attorney of Plymouth, Ind. It told me that Mr. Dayton, who had died, had bequeathed me a large part of his estate. A sum of money between $20,000 and $25,000 and property in Plymouth, it said' was stipulated." IN CIRCUIT COURT. John Cline Acquitted on Charge Of Assault Preferred by Wife. Circuit court adjourned at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon until Saturday morning. In the case of State of Indiana verstrs John Cline of 'Bremen, for assault and Battery, the evidence was heard, anMi the court found the defemhr.it not guilty, and ord"ered his acquittal. The charges were preferred by his wife, who recently secured a divorce against him in the Kosciusko court. Both are aged people. The case iV Nichols and Shepard Co., versus Dclbert Phafer on account, was dismissed. In the case of State of Indiana versus James Marlow, for petit larceny, the defendant who entered a plea of guilty, was given a suspended sentence of one to eight years, upon goml behavior. The court was of the opinion that the offence, which was stealing aritcles from buggies at Bremen recently as committed by the defendant upon such circu'nistances a.s that he shall not suffer the penalty of the law, and therefore recommend the suspension of sentence. Petition for Guardian. Fred Corse has filed petition in the circuit court to have Louisa T. Barnes declared to be a person of unsound mind, and for appointment of guardian.
