ITEMS FROM ALL OTEBJHE STATE Core Gruby, the 18-year-old son of Freeman Gruby, of LaGrange, lost his right arm in a corn shred der accident. He was running the machine for Philip Choler, a neighbor. The arm was so badly mangled that amputation was necessary. Miss Della Smith, a former Fort Wayne girl, who was employed as a stenographer at the Kidd Medical company, now of Chicago, has been pronounced the winner of the word contest at the land show Monday evening in Chicago, and as a reward for making the greatest num ber of words from the letters composed in “Land Show* will receive a SI,OOO chicken farm in one of the Chicago suburbs. John Potee of Ossian, narrowly escaped death Wednesday afternoon, when he caught on the line shaft at the Burnett & Timbrook elevator at Ossian. He was trying to slip a belt on a pulley when his blouse caught in the shaft. He braced his feet against a wall and was able to prevent his body from whipping around the shaft until other employes could shut off the power. It was necessary to cut away his clothes to release him. Perry Smith, chairman of the Kosciusko county republican committee,‘will be the choice of the Kosciusko county republicans for the chairmanship of the Thirteenth district. Mr. Smith’s name has oeen mentioned in connection with he office for some time, but it was lot until last Thursday that he conjented to become a candidate. He iias served four years as chairman of the county organization and the epublicans attribute their success n the last election to his good work. Suit for dissolution of partnership and tor a rccievei was started last Wednesday by J. E. Kilgore, the defendent being J. A. Teeter. The complaint states that the men formed a partnership on September 1,1911, for the purpose of conducting a drug store in Hudson, in Steu ben county. It was agreed that a third party should conduct the store but Kilgore now claims that Teeter took charge and a short time ago mortgaged the stock for $6,000. It is alleged that Teeter’s action has ruined the credit of the store and a receiver is asked. John M. Briggs, trustee of Troy township, Whitley county, was round dead in his cornfield ai noon last Monday a week ago, by his Mr. Briggs went to work in the cornfield in the morning, apparently in as good aecuth as usual. At noon he did not come to the house in response to the ringing of the dinner bell and his wife went to the field to learn why he had not come and found him lying on the ground dead. The coroner of Whitley county was called and gave tuberculosis of the brain as the cause of his death. Joseph Crall, who resides on a farm just east of Warsaw, met with a terrible accident last Wednesday, when his left foot was caught in the cylinder of a grain separator and was torn off. The accident occurred' at the farm of Floyd Robbins, about three miles east of Warsaw. The

threshing outfit of John Stoneburner of Warsaw, was threshing wheai at that place and Mr. Crall was one of the neighbors who was assisting in the work. It is not known just how it happened that Mr. Crall was caught. He is a young man and has a wife. Two Warsaw doctors were rushed to the scene, but it was about forty-five minutes before they arrived. Charles T Lindsey, cashier of the Citizens’ National Bank, president of the Citizens’ Loan, Trust & Savings Co., and one of the most pr< minent business men in South Bend, died while seated at the dinner table at his home Tuesday. Mr. Lindsey had not been feeling v’ell for several days, but his condition was not regarded as serious. He had been at his desk in the bcnk during the forenoon and left for dinner at his usual hour. As he sat at his meal he was seen to sink in his chair and gasp. Doctors were called but could render no aid, Death is attributed to apopkxy with kidney and heart complications. A man bearing letters and ca-ds in the name of O. Schohm, Chicago, jumped or was pushed from the vestibule of an east-bound limited train of the Lake Share a d Michigan Southern railroad Friday night and was instantly killed. Within a few feet of his body seven sticks of dynamite and what appears to be an electrical device for discharging it were found. The telegraph operator at Pine saw the man’s bcdy hurled from the train which was running at full speed, and strike a witch. The dynamite fell on the mow, several feet from the man. A search of the man’s pockets brought to light a quantity of electric wire. Beneath the body wa ; a long black box, apparently some electrical contrivance about rhe size of a paving brick. The police believe that the dynamite was caried by the man, but cannot learn what it was intended for or h>w the man came to plunge from ’he train. Masonic Widows and Orphans Home The Masonic fraternity of Indiana has just inaugurated active efforts towards the raising of a fu id among the Master Masons for the establishment of a Masons’ Widows and Orphans’ Home, the necessity for which institution has long been realized. A committee has been selected to represent each lodge of the state and the Warsaw lodge is represented by Messrs. W. H. Kirgery, W. C. Cannon and Warren Darst. It is announced that the hbme, which will be located somewhere in Indiana, will cost at leest $200,000. Winona has been mentioned as an excellent location for the home, and the Warsaw Masons are preparing to wage an aclive campaign to have the bome erected there. . One of the newest of the He-Mi-La dainties is a walnut kernel dedbed in rich maple cream—and to the pleasant flavor of that combination is added an especially prepared coating of chocolate. Doesn’t it sound delicious? Nothing to tie way it tastes. Remember the bra. id He-Mi-La.

CHARLES FOREJETS PAROLE Charles Fore, who was convicted of stealing a horse from 0. D. Irvin, a liveryman of Leesburg, on January 16,1911, and sentenced to serve a term of from 1 to 16 years in the Michigan City penitentiary, has been paroled bv Governor Marshall. Fore is in failing health and could not work. After he was sentenced to the penitentiary it was believed by local authorities that he was insane and would not long remain in the prison. The Northern Indianian says: “Every act of Fore, after he obtained the horse, was that of an insane man. He hired a horse at the Leesburg livery barn at 3 p. m. on Jan. 12, stating that he was going to Oswego. Instead he drove straight south and passing through Warsaw went to Atwood. He stopped at an empty farm house, where he spent the night in the barn. On the following morning he drove into Bourbon and placed the horse in a livery bam. After leaving the barn he walked six miles to his uncle’s home iu Tippecanoe, where he was arrested. “When arrested Fore acknowledged taking the horse, but said he did not know why he had taken it. He gave the officers a revolver, which he said he did not know where he got, or to whom it belonged. The fact that Fore had driven only twenty-five miles in the nineteen hours that he had the horse and that he made no attempt to conceal his identity, looked strange to the officers and helped to convince them that the man was insane and did not know what he was doing when he drove the horse away. he Lecture Last Thursday Night. The lecture last Thursday evening by C. H. Plattenburg, the second number of the lecture course, fulfilled the expectations of those who heard him and knew that he had been so highly recommended. The subject of his lecture was ‘ Worms Beneath the Bark.” During the course of his talk he described an oak tree centuries old and gave incidents of his life connected with the tree. The tree finally died, not from storm, cyclone, or anything from without, but from wor t s beneath the bark. Just so the downfall of our country or rather government, if it ever comes, will not be, as many think, from foreign immigration or any cause from without, but from the evils within us. He also said the strength of the country was not in our form of government,not in our standing army, not in our splendid navy, not in the fertility of the soil, but in the home with its sanctity, purity and high ideals. From beginning to end the lecture was full of humor which will make it impossible for any to forget the many important truths which the lecturer* wanted to impress upon the minds of his hearers. All who missed • this number of the course missed an evening brim full of entertainment as w ell as profit.
