PREPARING TO MOVE TO CALIFORNIA Maurice J. Rasor Will Leave About First of October. Maurice J. Rasor informs us that he was well pleased with the crowd and also the financial returns of his sale last week. Mr. Rasor and his family will leave for their future home in California about the first of October. The farm upon which he has resided for the past 17 years has been sold to Mrs. Agnes Baker, who with her children will reside upon it. Mr. Rasor will give possession of the farm on August 27, and with his family will spend the intervening time until his departure visiting at Elkhart and other places. Mr. and Mrs. Rasor have no definite plans as to what they will do after arriving at Los Angeles, but will spend some time visiting with relatives until an opportunity presents itself to undertake something to their liking. Mr. Rasor has one sister, three brothers and his parents in that state. He has about decided to take along his automobile and enjoy some of the fine roads that California is famous for. / The many friends of Mr. and Mrs, Rasor will miss them, but we feel sure that best wishes will follow them to the Golden State.

Crop experts are advising farmers to sow wheat this year and state that all indications point to a good crop.

KILLED AIGARREIE SUNDAY MORNING -V F Grover Ensley Shoots Edward McLeod, Who Invaded Ensley ‘Home. Grover Ensley shot and killed Edward McLeod early Sunday morning as McLeod and Mrs. Ensley were leaving her home in Garrett. Ensley, who is a railway fireman, hid at the home of a neighbor Sft’-urdaj high? instead of making his run and shot McLeod as he was leaving the house. Ensley surrendered and confessed. A friend gave McLeod a tip that Ensley was in the city and had threatened tn get him. McLeod thought it was wise to leave and Mrs. Ensley packed her grip to go with him, but they got only 20 feet when Ensley stepped from his hiding place and fired. McLeod died a half hour later after grasping Ensley’s hand and saying: “I want to shake hands with vou as I must die but I blame no one but myself.” Ensley tried to pacify his victim and was bathing his brow with cold cloths when Marshal Shaffer arrived. Ensley confessed and surrenderd a repeating revolver and walked to the lock-up. Journal A Day Earlier.

B. & 0. COMPANY 10 60ILD SUBWAY 20-Foot Roadway to Be Put Underneath Tracks Four Miles West of Syracuse. Without asking Kosciusko county to pay any part of the expense the B. & 0. railroad company is preparing to build a subway beneath the railroad tracks at a point where the railroad crosses the public highway in Vanßuren township one mile east of Milford Junction. A petition signed by Clayton and nineteen other residents of Vanßuren township was presented to the county commissioners on Friday, asking the commissioners to give the railroad company permission to build a 20-foot subway underneath the railroad tracks. About Four Hours Late. Some of the people who intended to take the “milk shake” Sunday evening changed their minds and waited until Monday. An oil car left the track, west of Miltord Junction, Sunday evening. The wreck train at Garrett was sent for, but it was doing duty on the eastern division and it was necessary for the wrecking crew to come from South Chicago and clear the tracks. It was after 11 o’clock before the “shake” passed through Syracuse. Conductor Injured. A B. & 0. conductor, by the name of S. C. Singery, was painfully injured in the yards here, about six o’clock Tuesday morning. He was busy switching cars and did not notice the movements of another crew, that were also in the yards, with the result that he was run down by a freight car and a long gash cut in his arm. He was taken to the Buheit home, where he received medical attention and left for his home in Garrett on 16. Advertising Onion Day. The citizens of Syracuse were agreeably surprised by a visit of the Nappanee Band, last Tuesday morning. Thi§ excellent musical organization from our neighboring town rendered two pretty pieces infi ne style and drew quite a little crowd in the short time they were here. Their purpose in coming was to advertise their Onion Day and Homecoming to be held at Nappanee on the 28th and 29th of this month. We can safely predict a good time for any of our readers who may attend. Beautify Your Home. Have those pictures you have been saving, framed. Beckman has a beautiful line of new frames.

I We have received from Secretary Armstrong of Leesburg, a program of the 29th annual reunion of the 30th Indiana, which will be held at Lagrange on August 28 and 29. Twenty-three years ago this regiment held their reunion at that place at the invitation of Lagrange citizens and their treatment was such that leads them to anticipate this year’s meeting with pleasure. Headquarters will be just across from the court house, southron the 27th and after that evening, they will be at the opera house. Comrades are requested to register pay their dues, (50c) and they will receive a badge which will entitle them to board and lodging. At 11 o’clock Wednesday, under command, of Major N. N. Boydston and led by the Boy Scouts’ Band, the regiment will march to the Grand Army Hall, where the Ladies* Relief Corps will serve dinner. A fine program has been arranged for the two days and every member of the 30th should be in attendance. Members from here may go byway of Elkhart, taking the Valley Electric line from that city. Good connections can be made over this route. Fdr Sale. Any reasonable offer will buy my property on S. Main St. If you desire to own a fine home in town, investigate this at once. Harry C. Groves.
