REPORTERS SOMETIMES find their jobs are a bit “up in the air.” This was the case last week when Gail Widmoyer went to Warsaw to do an article on the new towers being installed for United Telephone. The photo above shows Gail on her way to the top of one of the towers via the same method used by tower employees as they scale the 320-foot structures. Her article appeared on the front page of our sister publication, the Koscisuko County edition of ‘the paper’ this week and is found elsewhere in this issue. THE 107TH donation of lifesaving blood by Maurice G. Beer, Milford, at the recent Milford Bloodmobile visit, continues to rank him as “top donor” in Kosciusko County.

GRAND .AARCh 8:30. ADMISSION 50 CENTS. MANAGERS. ARBA OGDEN, JAMES FARMUM.

THE YOUNGER generation would never believe Milford had its own Opera House at the turn of the century, but actually this was the center of activity in those days when chautauquas made their appearance here and played before packed houses. Randall (“Tim”) Dewart attended a recent sale at the Al and Mabel Noble farm home south of Milford and was able to purchase the opera ticket reproduced

here. It reads as follows: “Yourself and Lady are cordially invited to attend a Select Ball at the Opera House, Milford, Ind., on Tuesday Evening, January 1, 1901. Grand March 8:30. Admission 50 cents. Managers, Arba Ogden, James Farmum.** • Dewart’s comment: “And those were the days when 50 cents went a long way.”

Dewart also added that he had heard old-timers comment, that in the days when the Milford Opera House was in its full flower, Milford was one of the few communities in northern Indiana that had an electric interurban and an opera house at the same time.

Trio breaks windshield, threaten onlookers with gun in Syracuse

A potentially dangerous situation developed early Sunday morning in Syracuse, when three unidentifed men broke car windshields and threatened onlookers with a handgun before fleeing the area. Kosciusko County police reported that the problems apparently began when the trio were told they wouldn’t be served any more drinks at Quacker’s Lounge by a pair of employees, Sandra Ball and Tomi Gonzalis. The Quackers’ employees then closed their establishment and went to Cocinero’s Lounge on SR 13, where the trio they had refus-

ed drinks to spotted them and began causing problems. Cocinero’s employees told the three men to leave the bar, at which point they went into the parking lot and began kicking in car windshields. When the sound of glass being broken brought several people outside, one of the men waved a handgun in their direction. The trio then fled the scene in their auto. Kosciusko County police officers were called to the scene of the disturbance at 2:52 a m. Sunday. Three suspects remain at large.
