KILLED BY INTERURBAN CAR Mrs. Pearl Canaan, of New Paris, better known as' Pearl Ryan was 1 instantly killed near the first cross--1 ing south of New Paris, Tuesday ’ afternoon at about 2 o’clock by an Interurban car going north. She had been picking strawberries at the Kauffman farm and had left the patch only a few minuets before she was killed. The incident was related to us by a traveling man who was on the car when the accident occured and who had been ordered to wait at Goshen until five o’clock that evening to make affidavit as to what he had witnessed. We will give the story in his words: “The motorman whistled for the crossing and then just afterwards he whistled long, loud and often. I came so near being in the Kingsland wreck that the whistling made me think of that and just then the car struck something. At first I thought it was a sheep or some animal when people began jumping up and crying “It’s woman,”lt’s a child,” By that time the car had stopped with the men all crowding on the back platform. . At first we just stood there and then I said let’s go see, and an old soldier said he would go with me and we went and found it to be a' woman with her left arm cut off at the shoulder, a large hole in her head and brains scattered along the track. Her clothing was all torn off except the stockings, and scattered along the track. The body was dragged about fifty feet and the arm was lying about thirty feet from the body. The headlight was broken off the car. We gathered up what clothing we could find and covered the body with it. The conductor telephoned headquarters'and they telephoned the New Paris undertaker to take charge of the body and the car was ordered to come on in to Goshen. Mrs. Canaan was about 35 years of age and is survived by a child 10 years old and her parents Mr. and Mrs. Ab Grant, and several brother and sisters. Conductor Hildebrand" of Warsaw was in charge of the car and James Caewood, also of Warsaw, was the motorman. No blame is attached to either, as everything possible was done to avert the accident. Notice. Commencing June Ist my price for banging wall paper will be 25 cents double roll. C. D. Brady.

EBENEZER CHURCH REOPENED Sunday, June 4th, was a day of importance for the Ebenezer church of the Evangelical Association, being the date set apart for special services in recognition of the recent improvements and repairs which have been made upon the church building. For many years this church was known by the name of Byers, after the good brother who donated the land upon which the building stands, as well as that occupied by the cemetery. This is one of the oldest country appointments in the Indiana Evangelical Conference, and is in an excellent community. The improvements and repairs recently completed are as follows: bell tower and bell, cement steps, new wallpaper, new platform and altar rail, new carpet, new gasoline lighting plant, entire exterior newly painted—costing in all about $660. Rev. H. A. Kramer of Cleveland, Ohio, assistant editor of Sunday school literature, was present by invitation, and had charge of the services. The weather in the morning was unfavorable and the congregation small, but at the close of the ser- ( vice, in aver/ quiet manner, the amount needed, yet unsubscribed, was raised, within SSO, in a few minutes. During the day this balance was provided for, and at the evening service still more was subscribed, which will be applied in a manner aPeady planned. C. A. Wright, Pastor. For Rent. One 6-room house, in good repair, 2| miles fron Syracuse. Rent reasonable. S. L. Ketring. jB-2t Mr. and Mrs. Frank Younce, Mrs. Verd Shaffer, and John Ward and wife left yesterday for Ohio where they will attend the Ott reunion They expect to return Saturday.

Saturdav’s Electrical Storm. The electrical storm here early . Saturday morning did much damage. A great number of telephones and electric lights were burned out. The house occupied by Sam Bushong was struck by lightning and also the house across the tracks belonging to the Rebecca Stetler estate, formerly occupied by William Hendrickson. The barn on the Joseph Mock farm was struck, causing considerable damage. The home of Mrs. Perry Sulzer, south of town was struck. The telephone pole nearest the house was struck first and the fire ran from there into the house, burning out the telephone, melting picture wires and causing pictures to faP, setting the house on fire in several places and badly damaging and setting fire to a bed in which Mrs Delbert Sulser of Elkhart, who has been there visiting since week ago Friday, had been sleeping. They think from the condition of the bed that it she had not been up when the stroke came, she could not have helped being killed. The damage was estimated at about S4O. A strange coincidence was that the next morning lightning again struck the same pole and ran to the house, but this time it went down the ground wire. - . Will Ray Has a Birthday. A number of friends and neighbors of Will Ray gathered at his home on Tuesday evening to help him celebrate his 31st birthday. A five course luncheon was served and a very pleasant evening spent. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Ott and family, Mr. and Mrs, Lewis McKenzie and family, Mr. and Mrs. James Isbell, Mrs. Ed Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Newman, Mr. and Mrs. Pierceton, Mr. and Mrs. Bare and family, Rev. mi Mrs. Ayers and family, Mr. and Mrs. Riley Wantz, Mrs. John Miller and children, Mrs. Ben Ott and daughter, Georgia.

The guests were James Johnson and wife of Gbshen, Mrs. Fannie Mock and two children Fay and Ralph, of Cromwell, and Lucile Prentice of Topeka. The electric storm the fore prrt of the week did much damage to the property of the Electric Light Co., also the Telephone Co. It was the most destructive to the lines of any in the history of either. If you have a farm that you wish to sell, small or big, list it with me. I will find a buyer for you. W. G.
