R. N. Moore Brings Us Some News From Trafalgar, Indiana.

R. M. Moore came up from Trafalgar, Ind., the first of last week and today made the Republican office a call, a thing which he always does soon after he reaches Rensselaer. He is a brother of Mrs. Joseph Yeoman and frequently visits them. Mrs. Yeoman was 76 years of age the 20th day of this month and Mr. Yeoman will be 84 the 2nd day of September, and he is in quite poor health. Mr. Moore reports that Eugene Dilley, of Trafalgar, the man who disappeared from his home and was absent for several months before being found in Indianapolis, and for whom search was made in this county because he at one time lived here, is getting along very nicely. He submitted to an operation and a part of the skull that pressed against the brain was raised and it is thought he is permanently cured of mental derangement. He has been working on a farm near Trafalgar. Very little oats are raised in that section and the wheat crop this year was very short. Corn, however, and that is the champion corn country, will be a large crop. Omar Joliff, the unfortunate young man who lost his life while attending the auto races at Indianapolis, formerly worked for Mr. Moore. He was about 35 years of age and unmarried.
