Abraham Trail l,ik<-l} Old Not Know When Death Overtook Him istiiulay Night.
PUBLIC SALE OF # High Bred Stock
On October 11,1906
1 will st 11 at public auction, at my farm, one mile west of Stilesville and eleven miles east of Greencastle, on the National Road
Abraham Trail, an aged and respected citizen of FincasUe died some time Sunday night at his home in Fincastle. The old gentleman lived alone in a house about one hundred yards from where ihis son, John Trail, lived and look his meals with him. Monday morning he did not come to breakfast as he usually did and the son went to the house to see what was the matter and found his father in bed dead. Coroner King was notified and drove out to Fineastle to make the I accessary investigation. It was his opinion that heart failure was the ! cause of hU death. He was in his [ !>ed and the cover was tucked in 'about him and he looked to be asleep. It is probable that death came to the old gentleman even while he was isleep and never knew when he passed from sleep unto death. Mr. Trail was one of the oldest citizens In that part of the county and was over seventy-eight years of age at 'he Mme of his death. He leaves two sons and several other relatives. The hst ip.cn of him alive was Sunday afternoon when he was sitting in front of his home smoking his pipe. Travelers on the Crawfordsville Road will remember the long narrow house that came out to the road in Finoastle and the old gentleman with short beard that was sitting before it smoking his pipe. That was Abraham Trail.

prietor of the north end restaurant. Mr. Shannon retired from the management of the concern the first of the month.
The worst has come to pass. The : Republicans of Greenca»tle have demonstrated to the members of the party In the out townships that they, the kid glove crowd, are the whole i thing and the country Republicans are only used as fillers to vote the j ticket and do w’hat the ring here
says.
For weeks a few Republicans in this city have been using all manner of plans to compel! Louis Hazelett to resign bis place as head of the county ticket. They have begged him and sent emissaries to him *o show him how his presence on the ticket is distasteful to the crowd that moves things about Greencastle. Mr. Hazelett’s friends in Russell township have stood by him In this contest with his party but they and the other country Republicans have been ridden down by the Anderson-Dunbar-Smith- Harris- Corwin- Peck ring and now Mr. Hazelett must fight for his manhood or suffer the ignominy of having a few men meet in a law office in Greencastle and declare him off the ticket and have another man put on in his place. This !s what the rough dressed, horny handed laboring candidate for representative on tire Republican ticket must
face.
The whole story is told in a few words. As stated in this paper two of the Greencastle ring drove out ro where Mr. Hazelett was at work last week and demanded that he send In his resignation from the ticket but he refused to do so. He stated that he had .been regularly nominated without a dissenting voice, by a regular delegate convention of his party called for the purpose of making nominations. The men then laid down the mandate -to him that if he did not withdraw the executive committee would oust him and place another name on the ticket. According to this threat a few Republicans met in James T. Denny's office Monday afternoon and formerly removed Mr. Hazelett from tn' race for representative and substl lied tln> name of Arthur Real for ihe place. All this was done without notice to the different committeemen or the voters of the county and without giving Mr. Hazelett a chance to be heard. No defence could be made nor was a friend of the candidate allowed in the meeting. It was purely an ex parte proceeding as far as Hazelett was concerned and his rights were not considered for one minute by the desperate men who did it. This is only another lesson to the people of Republican faith In Putnam county. They must learn that the Republicans of Greencastle are the whole works and if by chance the country Republicans nominate a man without the stamp of approval of the Greencastle ring they must withdrawhim or have the disgrace of seeing their fellow citizen kicked off the ticket in a ruthless manner. Who will be the next to come off the ticket is not given out. It is said that one or two of the remaining candidates do not suit the ring here and It may he that they too will be called on the green carpet and given a chance to resign or be treated to the same medicine that Hazelett has been treated to. The convention got out from the control of the ring and U established a had precedent to allow the ticket to stand without being gone over by them. Mr. Hazelett Is not done yet. He has a way provided him by law whereby his honor and manhood may be preserved. A great many Republicans are anxious to vote for him and he comes from a stock that does no - take kindly to being smitten in the face. He has the opportunity of go ing into the courts and ha,ving < iii.- ; Ights adjudicated by the judge. H* Is the regular nominee of the party and if the name of Reat is certified to the Clerk by the committee Mr. Hazelett can bring mandamus proceedings to have his name put on the ticket and Mr. Hamilton will have to obey the orders of the court. Of course Clerk Hamilton is not mixing In this fight. He is friendly to both sides of 'he controversy and some legal way will have to be provided for him to tell which name to put on'the ticket. Hazelett as nominated by a convention and has never resigned his place. Reat was nominated by a few members of the party in a sort of rump convention at which the voters

1 ocusi Sirc«-t Church W ill Be Ready For Dedication in a Few Week* From Now.
Contractor John Browning sa>s the work of rebuilding Locust street church is drawing to a close. The plasterers have some work to do yet and as soon as they are out of the way the carpenters will put the finishing on and the floors will be laid and the structure turned over to the committee. The furniture for the church will have to be bought and put in place and the organ that has already been selected will have to be shipped here and set up but all this work can proceed together and within a few weeks the congregation can get back to its home. It will be a year though from the time the damage was done to the church before it is rededicated to the work of the congregation for it was on Thanksgiving night last year that the fire occurred. When the edifice is completed It will be one of the largest and best equipped churches in the city. The seating capacity has been greatly enlarged and probably more people can he cared for inside of it than any other church In town. The outside appearance of the church has been grea'ly changed and the modernizing of the front has added greatly to Its appearance.
