Bremen People Killed While on their way to attend a family reunion, Henrv Brenlein, 41, of Bremen, Ind., and his two children, Otto, 10, and Norman, three months, were killed and Mrs. Brenlein was probably fatally injured when struck by a passenger train on the Erie railroad crossing near North Judson late Saturday night. The family had gone there by train and got a buggy to go to the home of August Adams, father of Mrs. Brenlein, where the-reunion was to have been held Sunday Demolishes Ice Houses The new ice houses recently erected at Warsaw to replace the ones destroyed by fire several months ago, were blown down Sunday evening by the severe wind. The loss by fire was about SIO,OOO and the damage done Sunday is estimated at $3,000. Swept By Fire The village of Tippecanoe was threatened with total consumption by fire early Monday morning. The Rhoades shoe shop was burned and also the residence of Quinley Cramm. Several small buildings were torn down to prevent the spread of the fire. A Severe Winter The usual crop of weather forecasters have sprung up and for once they are nearly all agreed that the coming winter will be exceedingly cold. They base their predictions on a varied assortment of circumstances that are in many instances plausible. We hope they know not whereof they predict. Eggs Scarce Hen fruit will soon vie in price with oranges, grape fruit, etc., and in fact will be less plentiful if its present scarcity cn the market is any indication.

38 YEARS AGO. Taken From the Files of The Syracuse Enterprise of 38 Years Ago. Goshen will be lighted by gas in about a week. Remember the incorporation meeting Monday evening. Wenoticed W. H. Kiblinger.of Millersburg, in town on Thursday evening of last week. John Gordy declares that he has a potato vine 8 feet high. How is that for “high?” We believe that Miles & Benner have commenced business in the basement of Guy’s building. Mr. John Howard has moved from town and taken up his residence near the head of Nine Mile lake. Zach Hendrickson’s brick residence is completed, and he now has one of the finest dwellings in town. Geo. Miles has become a pedagogue, and will swing the birch over the young Bolivarites the coming winter. Mr. A. H. Cullers, of Wabash, who has recently became a partner with G. M. Ray in the harness-making and butchering business in this place, moved his family to town some time since. The funeral sermon of Mrs. Cyrus Todd, who died at New Paris, Elkhart county, a few weeks since, was preached at the church of God in this place on Sunday last, and was largely attended. Perry Wilden has purchased the grocery store of Keefer & Crowl, and will move it into the building recently purchased by him of Mrs. Whitehead, on Main street as soon as some repairs can be made. We received a pleasant call yesterday from Mr. E. Rhore*, one of the wide-awake business men of Milford. He is the grocery trade in that enterprising town, and contemplating abandoning the credit system, called to get bills printed in accordance with the new arrangement. See his notice elsewhere. We received a call on Wednesday of last week from our old farmer friend,s W. B. Hire, Wm. Blue and his son, Silas Blue, who were accompanied by a gentleman from Churubusco, by the name of Ross, we believe. The latter gentleman was looking up a location to go into business. We do not know what conclusion he came to in regard to our town. Here are the names of our friends who are entitled to our thanks this week for payment on subscription. Who will have their names appear next week: Joel Strieby, Calhoun, Mo., $1.00: A. C. Funk, Warsaw, Ind., $4.00; J. C. Miller, Millersburg, Ind., $2.00; James Bushong, Syracuse, Ind., $1.00; Abraham Strohm, New Paris, Ind., $1.00; March McCrory, Goshen, Ind., $2.00; John MOtt, Benton, Ind., $2.00; Frank Sloan, Syracuse, Ind., $2.00; Robert Mullen, Syracuse, Ind., 50 cents. \ Unusual Case An unusal case has been started in the Kosciusko circuit court by Mrs. Alfreda Summers, who has commenced mandamus proceedings against the county council to compell that body to appropriate $l5O to pay for expenses of arresting her husband, Dona B. Summers, on a charge of wife desertion and taking him there for trial. The complaint was filed by her Attorney, M. L. Clawson, of Indianapolis. Marriage Licenses Marriage licenses were issued Saturday to Ralph R. Jones of Warsaw and Lizzie Starner of Claypool; Cliff Ruggles of Tipton and Ruth Thompson of Warsaw. » First Winter Meeting Invitations have been issued for the first winter meeting of the Original Five Hundred Club to be held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Otis C. Butt, Thursday evening.

From the Northwest Rockville, Minn.. Nov. 5, T 3 Editor The Journal: Good times and prosperity from St. Cloud, Mina., R. F. D. No. 5, by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Boner. We have been thinking for some time to let you Indiana people know how we are getting along here in Minnesota. We have just harvested a nice bountiful crop for this year, and everything is A No. 1. Land is selling for about S6O to S7O an acre, and will soon be at the SIOO mark, which also goes to show that the country is booming. The weather has been a little rough for a week or ten days, but it is now clearing up very and we will have what they call the Great Indian Summer in Minnesota, which lasts about six weeks. We are, Very respectfully, x Mr. and Mrs. Henry Boner. P. S.—lnclosed you will find $ J .50 for your paper. We always like, to see your paper come. t J, Revival at Warsaw The Union revival meetings began at Warsaw last Sunday and with great enthusiasm according to reports. Want Republican Paper A number of the Republicans at LaGrange want a Republican paper there. There are already two papers in that little city and it would be folly to attempt to start another, that is from a financial point of view. t Fortunate Escape Miss Julia Ott was nearly overcome by escaped &s from a hard coal stove, early Monday morning. She had started the fire and gone to bed awaking about two o’clock to find the room filled with gas. Only for the fact that the windows were slightly open can be attributed the fortunate ending. Several bricks had fallen into the chimney stopping it up. |Scbool Fotes | By Iva Deardorff We hear that the Freshmen are planning a party. Blanche Rasor visited the High School one day of last week. Ruth Weaver and Lloyd Gilderman are absent from school on account of sickness. The only excitement, it seems in the grade rooms is the Thanksgiving preparations. Bernice Shannon will go to Chicago, Tuesday afternoon, where an operation will be performed on her nose. The Athletic association is planning an entertainment for the purpose of raismg funds with which to promote basket-ball. Miss Elizabeth Haven gave a reading, “Mrs. Casey at the Euchre Party,'’ before the High School, Monday morning, and Tuesday morning a reading from Shakespeare, before the Senior class. Boys of the manual training department are going to make a table for experiments in Botany. It will be placed in room eight. They have also volunteered to make a bulletin board to be hung on the wall of the office for the exhibition of art models furnished by the art teacher. In the spelling lesson of last Friday in which all high school pupils took part, twelve pupils spelled the list of one hundred words correctly. Following is a list of the pupils who made one hundred percent: Philip Bowser, Joe Rapp, Alldean Strieby, Hallie Halloway, Katherine Rothenberger, Velma Shock, Hattie Routson, Lonnie Searfoss, Mary Sarjent. Vera Darr, Ruth Launer and Iva Deardorff.

INSTANTLY KILLED | IN GOSHEN SATURDAY Geo. Grady and Quinter Whitehead Horribly Mangled by Train The following from Saturday’s Goshen Democrat will be read with regret by many Syracuse people, the victims being well known here George Grady, aged about 65 years, and Quinter Whitehead, aged about 25 years, and a son-in law of Mr. Grady, were instantly killed this afternoon at about 3:30 o’clock at the Lateral railway crossing on West Lincoln avenue near the plant of the Goshen Milling Co. Both bodies were horribly mangled—almost beyond recognition. Grady’s body was decapitated. The body of Whitehead was dragged about 50 feet. The men were in a one horse wagon loaded with books and papers and were driving west on Lincoln avenue. They were unable to see the train which was approaching from the south, on account of the Goshen Milling Co.’s building. The engine was pushing a string of cars The victims were called to by bystanders who realized their danger. Just as the occupants of the wagon saw the approaching cars their horse became frightened and pulled the wagon onto the tracks. Both men were thrown from the vehicle and under the wheels of the train. The horse was thrown into the race and swam to the west side. It did not receive a scratch. Considerable difficulty was experienced in identifying Whitehead. The bodies were taken to’ the Stiver morgue and prepared for burial. Coroner Mast was called. Mr. Grady was a retired farmer and lived”at No. 115 Berkey avenue, West Goshen. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, and two sons. Lee Grady of this city is a half brother and a brother, Isaac Grady, resides in West Goshen. Two other half-brothers and three half sisters also survive. Quinter Whitehead lives west of New Paris and is survived by his wife, his mother, and one brother, all of near New Paris. McKibben —Swank Clarence McKibben and Miss Bertha Swank, both of Syracuse, were united in marriage in this city Saturday afternoon by Rev. H. W. Bennett at his office The ceremony was witnessed by the father of the. groom and mother of the bride. They will reside at Syracuse. —Warsaw Indiana. The contracting parties are both well known around Syracuse and vicinity are popular with their companions. The Journal extends congratulations. Earl Fisher Suicides Earl Fisher, age 26, married, and the father of two children, committed suicide Saturday morning, six miles northeast of Goshen. It is thought that his mind was unbalanced by a too close study of religion. He was one of a family of 13 children and his parents live near Gilford. Season’s First Dance The first dance of the season was given at the Holton Hotel, last Friday evening and the attendance was good. The Ynusicans engaged could not come and the substitutes did nobprove very satisfactory. Takes New Position Miss Georgia Strock resigned her position in the postoffice and succeeds Miss Mary Ott as bookkeeper for Syracuse Power & Light Company. Postmaster Miller will probably not employ a successor to Miss Strock this winter. Notice —ls all parties holding accounts against Roy Bare will present their claim to us, we are in position to make adjustment. Butt & Xahders.
