HOUSE OF DAVID WILL PLAY BREMEN MAY 4 The House of David, known from one end of the country to the other as one of the fastest independent traveling baseball outfits in the United States, will be in Bremen Sunday, May 4, to help the Bremen Greens Nift the lid for the 1924 season. I The Bremen management is expecting the crowd in the history“of baseball in Bremen. With a large new section of grandstand completed, however, there is little doubt but that arrangements can be made to accommodate all who come to see the House perform. Additional temporary seating will be arranged if the advance sale of seats indicates an overflow crowd. Johnny Oswalt and his mates •will have a man sized job on their hands when they tackle .the whiskered aggregation, as the Benton Harbor nine is promising to put the best team on the field they have sent out in many years. Oswalt has already started training for the opening of the season’s play, and will meet a hearty welcome when he dons the Green uniform next month. Bremen fans have always been strong for the Leesburg wizard and his variety of shoots and stuff, and his appearance here in the opener willpbe the beginning of the most successful year the local outfit has ever had. Sharing the pitching burden with Oswalt will be "Swede” Edgren of Notre Dame. Bremen’s prize infield of last year will return without a change. "Babe" Philion at first, Wertz at second. "Louie" Wolf at short and Tom Touhey at third will present the same old airtight defense, in spite of the rumor that the new South Bend team would grab off some of them. Touhey and Wolf have been approached by the South Benders, but have turned down offers of better money in order to stick with the team of their choice. The outfield will be guarded by "Claty" Huff, “Toby” Britton and the idle pitcher, both Oswalt and Edgren being too valuable as hit- . ters to leave out of the line-up. Following the opening engagement with the long-haired boys from the bailiwick of Benjamin. Bremen will tackle a formidable list of early season foes. Wcf saw, with the old Lincoln Life team from Fort Wayne, will be in Bremen May 11. Billy Mack, star hurler of the Nanpanee Tigers in 1923, will pitch for them. ’ o TAKEN TO PENAL FARM Ralph Cole, of near Pierceton, sentenced to serve 60 days and f'ned SIOO by Mayor John A. Bloane for manufacturing liquor, was taken to the state penal farm Saturday by Sheriff Milo Maloy. CATCHESBIGFISH John Havmaker. of Indianapolis. recently caught a pike that •veighed twenty-one pounds and I measured forty-four inches, and Robert Burke, of Indianapolis, r four and one-half pound bass i i Wawasee. .

DIVORCE GRANTED Henry E. Leslie, of Syracuse, was granted a divorce from Sadie Leslie in the Kosciusko Circuit Court Saturday. Leslie testified that his wife was formerly an inmate of an insane asylum but did not tell him of it when they were married. He also testified that after they were married she borrowed money from him to help pay off the mortgage on her farm in Michigan and then after he had worked all summer on the farm she told him all he got out of it was his board. He told the court that after he left her she wrote to him to stay away, saying she had a shotgun to protect her. They were married in the spring of 1923 and separated in August of the same year.

FIRE DESTROYS BARN A large barn and granary located on the farm of Edgar R Templin, four miles west of Leesburg, burned to the ground Thursday evening. The fire was discovered about 10 o’clock by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Meek, who reside in the vicinity of Leesburg and were driving to Che Templin farm home. The barn was more than half burned to the ground when discovered. Four head of horses, two head of cattle. 1000 bushels of oats, rve, hay, and a number of valuable farming implements were completely destroyed by the fire. The loss is partly covered by insurance.

One of the ton ribs of the car pierced the lad’s head. ——O- ' TO GROW MORE MELONS Encouraged by large profits made last year, scores of Kosciusko county farmers are planning to more than double their acreage of watermelons and muskmelons this season 4 . Hubbard squash also will be raised •n larger quantities than ever before. There was a scarcity of squash in the county last year. o TO BUILD MANY ROADS Fifty-three miles of roads rn Kosciusko county have been sold and practically all are now under construction and will be completed this"year. Eleven more miles will be sold early in May.

Most of the land is wooded. ■ ' — ■■■<> —— VOTE FOR THEM In the coming primary, Syracuse offers two candidates for county offices. Robert E. Pletcher is a candidate for coroner on the Republican ticket and Geo. L. Xanders is an aspirant for Prose•uting Attorney on the Democratic ticket. Both men are well qualified for the position thev *eek and should receive the full vote of their party. - — A NEW HOTEL Rumor has it that Chicago parties are considering the erection of a new hotel on the site of the Wawasee Inn. which burned several years agt\ A representative was at the lake last week going over the proposition. Masonic interests now own the property, o Last week for paying taxes. 1-1

TO BUILD NEW DAM A new dam in the Elkhart river and three anew power plants capable of producing 1,200 k.w. of electric power will be built this summer by the Interstate Public Service Company. The new additions and improvements will be made at an approximate cost of $277,000. Plans and specifications have already been approved, and the company is now negotiating for the purchase of over 300 acres of land along the Elkhart river, a short distance above Benton, which will be flooded if the dam is built. Only the inability to secure this land at a reasonable □rice will prevent the carrying out of tfie plans, it was said. The present power plant at Benton will be abandoned, and »he head race will be extended from the dam at Benton a mile and a quarter further down the iver to the point where the Wabash railroad crosses the river. Here a second new plant xyill be erected, to develop 500 k.w. The extension of the head race will ncrease the fall to an 184 foot head instead of 10, which is now had at Benton. o WEIGHING SOCIAL Mrs. W. J. Dauner and Mrs. L. D.

STRANGE^ REQUESTS ' • While the great army of Hookiers who annually whip the rtreams and lakes for bass, perch and bluegills are very observant of the laws and continually help the game wardens enforce them, occasionally a strange request -omes to the fish and game division of the conservation department that some special favor be granted in a particular case. Recently a citizen of Berne wrote Geo. N. Mannfield to know •f a dozen men of his place could obtain a permit to seine, claimng that his internretation of the ’aw permitted seining if the party consisted of 12 or more persons. Mannfeld explained that n 1911 those in charge of the division gave out 300 seining permits to certain persons for poltical favors rendered in the leg'slature. The practice was stopped, but the policy in effect for three months did more harm ‘han it is possible to describe. He made it plain that this state s too thickly populated and there is not enough fish to permit their taking other than with hook and line. Another strange reaiiest recently reached Mannfeld from a sporting goods dealer at Newcastle, who explained that because of the cool weather bass were not biting and his customers wished him to write and get the conservation department to let them fish after the seas6n closed. He was informed that no nne has such authority, and that ♦he legislature established the dosed season starting Mav 1 and closing at midnight June 15, and looked to the conservation department to enforce it. o BASEBALL A baseball club was organized under the name-of Syracuse-Mil-ford All-Stars, thus consolidating the Syracuse and Milford teams.
