LUCAS FARM SALE ' SEPTEMBER SECOND Feared Crime Committed On It Will Prevent Any Normal Bids.

The farm of Seth Lucas, wife murderer, who Is now confined in the insane ward of the state penitentiary, at Michigan City, will be sold at public auction September 2, according to an order of Judge Fox, so that the Lucas financial affairs may be straightened out. Sanford Henning, the guardian of the insane man's estate, will make the sale. Lucas was in debt when he was arrested for the murder of his wife, who was beaten and murdered in September, 1913. It is thought that enough can be realized from the sale of his farm am! his city property In Benton Heights can be held as an investment. Lucas owed Attorney Will Bond $300 for consultation fees; his daughter, Mrs. Grover DeCamp, has a claim of $1,700 against the estate and there are mortgages on which Lucas owed small sums. la In Poor Condition. The farm is in poor condition and, although well situated Is expected to bring far below its actual value as farm land. Whether the deed which was committed on the land will influence its sale price, is a matter of speculation. There are 110 acres of land but there are few improvements, the house having been burned to the ground in Lucas' attempt to hide his crime. The farm has not been cultivated since Lucas murdered his wife and before that time, he worked it only to provide the actual wants of the family. Although Lucas was stubborn and savage while confined in the county jail here, following his arrest when he became insane from worry over his crime, a letter received recently by Rice Miller from the authorities at the state prison, conveyed the impression that Lucas has changed his tactics although still apparently insane, is peaceful and quiet and obeys the lightest word of the keeper. It 1b thought that with fair treatment Lucas will recover fro mhis attack of insanity which Health Officer T. Henry Davis, who examined him, believes is only temporary. Should his intellect again become normal he will be returned to this city and given a trial on the indictment of first degree murder, returned by the special session of the grand Jury in April.

OSCAR RICH HOLDS THE WHEAT RECORD

According to reports which County Agent Cobb has received, Oscar Rich, who lives near the county farm, probably holds the record for a bumper wheat crop. Statements by threshers and several neighbors, including Jos. Ratliff, who were present when the wheat from Rich's sixteen-acre field was threshed, are that the average was sixty-three bushels to the acre. When the men saw how the yield was running up they thought the separator might be registering wrong, so they weighed the grain with the same results. Rich's farm adjoins that of William Crow who reported a yield of 107 bushels for two acres.

(MISS MARION GIBSON.) BOSTON, Aug. 11. Friends of Miss Marion Gibson, the noted swimmer are speculating on the results of a proposal which she received from Timothy Maloney, while both were making a record swim to Boston Light. When the pair were half way to their destination, Maloney swam close to Miss Gobson and proposed. She asked him to wait until they reached the Light to talk it over, but when they arrived Maloney was too busy getting back his wind to talk of matrimony and so far Miss Gibson has not given him an answer. - w , i

From the Great Government Collection by Special Permission of the War Department, Illustrating Lossinq's Vivid History ol the Civil War Published in magnificent and permanent style. Printed on fine paper throughout and bound in fine cloth. 512 pages, size 9x12 inches, weight over 6 pounds, or as much as any ordinary six volume set of books. Oyer 5,000 Brady War Photographs Reproduced The greatest value ever known in the history of publishing. A Magnificent Collection in Colors of Great Battles Also Appears in the Work. THE BRADY WAR PHOTOGRAPHS are owned by the United States Government. They were taken "on the spot" by Mathew B. Brady and his assistants, by authority of President Lincoln, during the four long, weary years wrjle the war was going on. The government paid $27,840 for the negatives alone. General Grant saw many of them taken and joined Generals Butler and Garfield in saying they were worth $150,000. This was years ago. They are worth far more today. Can you imagine anything more authentic to illustrate history? THE GOVERNMENT PAID $27,840 for these negatives, and they went into the -archives of the War Department; but the people of this country never saw them. They were not serving their great educational purpose. The War Memorial Association devised a plan whereby beautiful copies could reach the people at a cost so small as to prove startling. The War Department granted permission to reproduce the photographs. A Famous Private Collection of Brady War Photographs have been added to the work greatly increasing its value.
