HER TRIAL IS POSTPONED ‘Mack” Weaver Tells Journal Man His Side Os Shooting Affray. The trial of Leo Weaver booked for Justice Kuhn’s court last Saturday did not come off. The attorney for the defendant, J. 0. Kantz, filed an affidavit that “Jack” Weaver, the man who was shot in the leg by Officer Hummel, was not able to appear as a witness and the trial was postponed until Saturday. Sept. 21st. The State has filed the charge of assault and battery against the younger Weaver, the father, who was shot, has not been placed under arrest at this time. Attorney B. F. Deahl was present Saturday, to assist Prosecuter Early for the State, but of course, had the trip for nothing. It was supposed that the wounded man would be able to appear in court, having been up town previously, through the week.—Nappanee News. “Jack” Weaver, when interviewed by the Journal branded as false, the story of their being intoxicated and also the report that they had returned from Bremen with beer m their possession. He says “My sons and I were standing with our backs turned and did not see the lady approaching with the baby cab until she asked us to step off the walk, which we did. Marshal Hummel then came up, flourishing a billy, and after a few words pulled a revolver and pointed it at my breast. I dared him to shoot, he lowered the gun and shot me in the leg, and after that I beat him up.

Exhibits Other Man’s Work. McDougal and Holtzinger, the well-known monument dealers of Goshen, were rather wrathy when looking over the exhibits at the Goshen Fair, to find that a competing firm was exhibiting some of McDougal’s work. A stone lettered some years ago and presented to the Elkhart Fair Association by Mr. McDougal himself, was prominently displayed by another of Goshen’s monument firms. Cromwell Entertains. Over fifty of Cromwell’s citizens accompanied by their juvenih band came to Syracuse about noon Monday and proclaimed the fact of their celebration on the 20th by music and singing. Cromwell is soon going to be the livest little town in this sec ion of the state if her citizens keep up the pace they have started. There are many towns even larger who cannot boast of electric lights and city water.

An Ode to A Coat. Last Sunday night our friend A. L. Doffed his coat for a breathing spell, And swung it cross the front porch rail, While he proceeded to take a sail Down to the garage shop to show Some perplexed fellow how to make her go. But when he returned all blithe and gay, Some crook had carried bis coat away. And now he mourns the loss of his coat, And vows if he ever meets that goat, Wearing his best his Sunday sack, He’ll just haul off and hit him a whack. Farmers, Attention We will print 100 sale bills in 'hree colors, publish the sale in the Journal, secure you an auctioneer and clerk, all for $3. Come in and talk to us about it.

The Journal will be able to give an account of the proposed new route to the lake in its next issue. The Bremen Fair. Officials and friends of the Bremen Fair Association are feeling particularly well pleased with the prospect of success now apparent for the twenty-fourth annual fair, which opens next Tuesday, September 24. Never in the history of Bremen fairs have so many entries been promised in the speed department so long in advance, or so many applications received for stalls, pens, space and information. This is considered unmistakable evidence of a successful fair, and is therefore cause for elation on the part of those who are working to that end.—Bremen Enquirer. Mistaken Version. It appears that we were given a wrong account of the causes leading to the death of the Grimes stallion at the Goshen fair grounds last week. The veterinary informed Mr. Grimes that death was due to acute indigestion. It was a mistake that the horse„was given several pails of water upon his arriving at the grounds. Mr. Grimes drove the horse to the fair and gave him plenty of time, but his food did not digest properly and the same fatal result would have probably followed had the horse remained at home. The animal weighed about 1950 pounds and Mr. Grimes valued him at SI7OO.
