Young Man Badly Injured At Sunday’s Baseball Game.

Elmer Augspurger, son of William Augspurger, from west of town, w'as quite severely injured at the baseball game at Riverside Athletic Park Sunday afternoon, and for a time it was feared the injuries would result fatally. Augspurger Was standing a short distance from the line between home plate and third base and was engaged in conversation with Elizur Sage when a line foul fly was knocked. Everyone between Augspurger and the home plate dodged and the ball struck him squarely on the right side of the head, just below the temple. He fell down unconscious and for a time it was thought that he was going to die. In a short time, however, he partially regained consciousness and was removed to his home in an automobile. He suffered conscussiopi of the brain and while not altogether out of danger the attending physician thinks that he will get through all right. He is 18 years of age and of a very rugged build, which will help his chances of recovery.

All the newspapers are praising the Seattle woman who drove a burglar from her house with a baseball bat. Indeed, she seems to have scored quite a hit. There is to be a stiff tax on pipes under the new law. Still the populace will be furnished many nice ones to smoke just before the next congressional elections, and free of charge, too.

FAIR OAKS.

Daniel Lintner has gone to Mt. Ayr to work.

Mrs. I. Right is spending a few days in Lafayette. Mrs. C. A. Gundy is visiting her son in Monon this week. .

Mrs. John Cooper visited in Rensselaer over Sunday.

Mr's. Geo. Marshall has been quite sick for a fe^days. Mrs. Thomas Fay visited in Fair Oaks a few days this week. Miss Blanch Odell has been visiting her grandmother, Mandeville, this week.

Morton Clifton and Willard Price, who have been working in Rensselaer, returned Thursday.

A crowd of men and women met at the grave yard Monday and fixed the fence and cleaned it generally. Mrs. Lillie Vandusen and son, of Wheatfield, visited her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Linten, over Sunday. A brother of Mrs. Culp, of Mt. Ayr, is visiting her this week, and making some improvements on her house. Mrs. Fenniburst, wife of the regular preacher, will preach at the M. E. church Saturday night. All are invited to attend.

A party of six went to the river fishing Friday, but it was too wet and the river too high, so they visited Mrs. S. Hanly on the Harris ranch. Mrs. Mattie Dickson, of Rensselaer, who has been keeping house tot her brother, John Casey, during Mrs. Casey’s absence, is sick with pneumonia.

Yes, there is always something doing in Fair Oaks. For instance, another son has been born into the family of the Fair Oaks correspondent, which probably accounts for the items not being sent In last week.

HANGING GROVE.

Richard Foulks spent Saturday in McCoysburg. R. V. Johns and Omar Church were in Rensselaer Saturday afternoon. Estel Osborne and Vera Lefler visited Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Culp, near Monon, Sunday.

Mr. and Mrs. Ed Becker, of near Remington, came over to McCoysburg Sunday for a short visit with relatives. Gaylord Parker lost his driving mare Thursday night, and it was quite a loss too for she was young and when .well, was quite a spirited nag. Mrs. Henry Brannon and son, of Monticello, came up to McCoysburg Saturday morning for a visit over Sunday with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Montz.

James Lefler is doing well since he went to Wisconsin. They have garden well nigh big enough to eat, and had five acres of ground ready to plant in corn. Seeing five and six deer in a herd is getting to be a common sight to them and “perkipines” are most as thick as rabbits, but , are utterly worthless, as they do considerable damage to the timber by girdling the valuable trees.

The Moffitt dredge was put out of commission Saturday afternoon by the breaking of both big timbers of the “A” frame. It will require three or four days before work can be resumed again. They have got along excellent since they started digging. As an example of their speed, they dug 40 feet in one hour Saturday forenoon. That is handling mud at a good rate of speed. The new timbers will be made from white-oak trees if they can be secured at all. It Is getting to be a difficult task to buy timber in this age of the world.

New Cemetery Sexton Is Giving General Satisfaction.

It has often been said that there is a man for every emergency, and it is probably true. At least it? is almost always the case, and it seems to apply to the sexton of Weston cemetery. Allen Swim was employed by the cemetery trustees as sexton following the resignation of John Schanlaub this spring. Mr. Schanlaub had been the sexton for sixteen years and his work in beautifying Weston cemetery and in keeping the grounds always mowed and the flower beds in blossom was so satisfactory to both the trustees and the public; that it was thought improbable that a successor could be found that would keep the work up to his standard, but in Mr. Swim they seem to have found the man. He worked last year with Mr. Schanlaub and was made the sexton after the latter’s resignation. He has worked diligently and has the cemetery looking as fine as it ever did, which means that it is one of the most beautiful burying grounds in the state. Mr. Swim has decided to leave the drivegate open and to permit persons with teams to drive into the cemetery during the hours that he is at work there. This plan is meeting general approval, also, as many will visit the cemetery now that would not do so when the gates were kept closed. All that will be necessary to keep these gates unlocked is for the public to keep in the driveways and not to drive over the lawns or up the walking paths. To do that would be a violation of the law that would result in prosecution. Rensselaer has a beautiful cemetery and it is fortunate that the trustees have secured a man as successor to Mr. Schanlaub whose work is so entirely satisfactory.

NEWS IN PARAGRAPHS.

William Damar, the former Laporte man who robbed a butcher shop in Michigan City, was arraigned in the Laporte superior court in Michigan City and plead guilty. He was sentenced to a term of 2 to 14 years in the penitentiary. After a quarrel with her husband, who dared her to jump in the river, Mrs. Lizzie Feldman, of Evansville, leaped in. As she was sinking for the last time she was rescued by Ira Rogers. As the rsult of eating grass in a field where mad dogs ran wild a few months ago, a - horse belonging to Mrs. May Burdine, of near Aboite, became rabid while in the pasture. The horse was killed before it attacked any persons or animals. President Taft, if the program now planned is carried out, will spend a portion of a day in Fort Wayne next October, and probably deliver an address there. He will be enroute to Monroe, Mich., where a statue of General Custer is to be unveiled. John H. Wood, former president of the Matthews National bank of Matthews, Ind., has just been released from the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kans., after the expiration of a term of six years. He was convicted of making loans in excess of the amount allowed by law. Miss Jennie Wilson, of South Whitley, won the SSO prize in the contest to give Fort Wayne a slogan. Out of the many thousands of suggestions the directors of the Commercial Club selected “Fort Wayne with Might and Main.” Miss Wilson is an invalid, compelled to live on a wheeled chair.

Washington proposes to require that bathtubs be put In all new buildings. Next thing they will have official bathing masters to see that the residents get busy every Saturday night.

It may be true, as an army engineer exclaimed, that “Congress can go to h .” But the question of present moment is, can congress revise the tariff? However, Mr. Taft will find It hard work to make hard work popular with the negro. The New York man who was convicted of using bad eggs In pastry may make It necessary to put pure-food labels on lunch-counter pie. There are certain United States Senators who, though they might not be aware of it, are heading straight for private life. The tariff hills appear to be as full of little jokes as the modern political platform. A race between Wilbur Wright and Count Zeppelin would be rated as one of the sportiest events pulled off, on or over the land. 1
