Mr. Noland was accidentally shot through the calf of the right leg with a ball from a target rifle recently, but he has practically recovered from the effects of the accident. The ball struck the bone of the leg and glanced off and lodged In the muscle of the leg, and it was not taken out, as the doctor in charge thought it would not cause him any trouble. Frank G. Carpenter, prosecutor of Wabash county, taking cognizance of a statement of the Wabash brewery that it would sell beer direct to the consumer in case lots after the last saloon had closed its doors, announces that they will prosecute the brewery if it attempts to do so, as the institution has no right under the state law to retail beer. Prosecutor Carpenter states that the only person authorized by law to sell liquor of any sort without a license is defined by the law as one who sells only to licensed retail dealers. E. G. Sternberg returned this morning from Oklahoma City, where he had gone to bid on a big dredging contract that was sold Monday. Several firms that were represented there did not bid, owing to an impression that the bonds might not sell on account of some legal complications. Mr. Sternberg, however, made some bids at the Sale, which was by public outcry, but was not successful. He met several former Rensselaer people, among them Frank Warren, M. L. Spitler and U. M. Baughman. All are prospering and all were very anxious to see him bid in the ditch contract. Oklahoma City is having a rapid yet well balanced growth and the former Jasperites all seem delighted with it and with their success since locating there. .
