Two or three other of our cxchanges have referred to the match as a “vicious vrize fight,” a “hard fought battle,” ete., but didn’t have the deceney after seeing the explanation in the INDEPENDENT to correct the mistake, or misrepresentation, rather. Leroy Trowbridge, a prominent young farmer living near Plymouth, was killed Ilast Tuesday evening by the tongue of a sled striking him in the back of the head. He was on foot, being on his way home, when he was overtaken by a Mr. Switzer who was driving two horses hiteched to bobsleds. Mr. Switzer passed an approaching team and was driving rapidly. As he passed the team he noticed some one walking ahead and he instantly reined in, but the tongue, forced by the impetus, shot forward striking Mr. Trowbridge in the head and crushing his skull. The man was instantly rendered insensible and was put in the sled and taken back to town for medical aid. He, however, died from the wound shortly after midnight.

" : Indiana is beginning to talk seriously about raising beet sugar, Careful analysis of the beets grown in the northern half of the state shows a sugar contest ranging from 10 to 18 per cent, and no doubt this may be improved. It is now being arranged to give every farmer in that part of the state who will agree to plant an acre of sugar beets in 1894, sufficient of the best seed for that purpose. The | experiment will be given a thorough trial. > - : The Ligonier Leader says: “Vern Hardenbrook, son of A. C. Hardenbrook of Walkerton, formerly a resi! dent of this city, is in the fleld as 2 pugilist and is developing rapidly. He is booked for a couple of contests, and the sports of this city have been in communication with him regarding a sparring match to take place in the near future with Allen Prough, apugilist of some note of Goshen. Hardenbrook is over six feet tall, and weighs 196 pounds and is pretty well seiénced considering his age and the time he has been in training. He offers to meet any amateur in the stafe at any time or any place. Prough is said to be about his equal in size and weight and the contest between them would not be cne-sided. It is thought that the event will take place, if arrangements are perfected, either at Goshen or Ligonier.” The wife of Perry Thompson, formerly of this place, died at their home in South Chicago last Tuesday night. The Plymouth Republican gives the following particulars: “A telegram was received here early Tuesday forenoon by Miss Nellie Thompson, stating that her step-mother, Mrs. Perry Thompson, was in a critical condition and could live but a short time., It also requested that Mrs. Phlegmon Thompson, mother of Perry, should -exercise all due haste and leave for ‘South Chicago on the first train, which she did, leaving on the afternoon train.
