Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 7, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 October 1908 — Preacher Was Horse Trader. [ARTICLE]

Preacher Was Horse Trader.

The Baptist congregation in the little village of New Buffalo, in Laporte county, has decided that a David Harum in the ministry is too much and as a result the trustees have closed the church for an indefinite period. The Rev. Charles Eble, the pastor, was charged some months ago with misrepresenting things in a horse trade and the church peop’e took up the fight against him.
