FARM HOUSE DESTROYED BY FLAMES House of Tenant or Whitehead Farm Is Burned. The house occupied by the tenan of Bert Whitehead’s farm, was com pletely destroyed by fire, about 12:3t o’clock Tuesday morning. None o the contents were saved. The con tents and house are only partiall; covered by insurance. Shortly after midnight, when Mr? Chester Stiffler was awakened by ,th>’ baby’s cry, she noticed the red glov of a fire through the window. He tried to phone the alarm t< Whitehead's, and succeeded in gett ing the attention of people on th> party line. Many neighbors rushed t< form a bucket brigade, but the hous< was a mass of flames before anyofli reached it, so there was nothing tha could done, according to- Ml Whitehead. The house was occupied by Arm: Workman. She had been staying a the Whitehead home during Mrs Whitehead's illness. So far as is, known at present, the last person a the tenant house was there about o’clock, Monday afternoon, whei Jack Kennedy, a roomer, fixed th« fire in the stove. He left soon aftei for Detroit, where he went to visi relatives. FISHERMAN FINED IN J. P. COURT Charged with having a Set line, for fish, Judd Searfoss, arrested Saturday morning by Bruce Staples, game warden, was tried in Jesse Shock’s justice of peace court, Saturday afternoon. ' VMr. Searfoss plead guilty and was" fined $5 and costs, totalling sl9. He stayed the docket, which, according to Mr. Shock, means he promised to pay his fine in three months, a friend of his having gone his bond. .— Much feeling about the lake was aroused by Mr. Searfoss’s arrest, and many opinions have been expressed to the editor during the past week. The law clearly shows that anyone who puts a fish line through the ice and goes as far as 20 feet away from <t, is breaking .the law by running a set line. The timber man must stay beside his line. But, according to the year round lake folk, some of whom depend oh fish for part of the winter’ food supply, instead of fining a man for trying to catch pike even on a set line, the fisherman really should be paid part of the money which is spent by the state in the summer time to rid the lake of those same pike, destructive to other fish. These set pike lines, of which there were many, before the arrest Saturday, according to reports, are baited with perch seven inches long, so that none but pike could be caught on the hook, even if the fisherman went further than 20 feet away from his set line. On the game warden’s side of the question, aside from enforcing the letter of the law, is the statement that many fishermen put out set lines for bass, and go away and leave these in numbers greater than dne set line. All the fish caught on set lines areh’t destructive fish. And in spite of the feeling expressed that this one law on catching pike on a set line should not be enforced, the editor does not care to take a stand urging the non-enforce-ment of this law, as it might lead to an officer feeling there is no need to enforce other laws, such as arresting men for catching fish in large nets, and Belling these in the Xgood old “bootleg" way. J ' ■ QUARTETTE BROADCASTS. The men’s quartette of the Church of the Brethren scheduled to sing there Sunday evening, received word from radio station WO WO in Fort Wayne, late Friday, that they were to broadcast Sunday evening.

C. OF C. HOLDS REGULAR MEETING At Tuesday’s meeting of the chamb- ; er of commerce, a committee was appointed to keep informed on all leg- j islative matters that will come up at i the present session of the Indiana i legislature, and which will have an • effect on this district, such as con-: gressional re-appointment, taxes, etc. 1 On this committee are Rev.

Armstrong brought before the meeting a proposition of a public auction. The plan, Rev.

BONES OF MASTODON BEING PLACED IN PLASTER CASTS

Bones of the gigantie mastodon, which, have been excavated south east of Cromwell, are being dried and cured, and then put into plaster casts, preparatory to being shipped to Buffalo. Dr. Sanford of the Richmond expedition of the Buffalo Museum of Science, stated that it is one of the biggest, if not the biggest mastodon skelton fever found. When questioned as to the possibilities of this region containing other such’ skeletons he said that if some one could be found to finance an expedition searching for other remains, it is most likely others would be unearthed. Bones of the head, lower jaw, pelvis, front legs, several vertebrae, one femur or big bone of the leg, and two huge tusks have been uncovered. They are now being treated and cured in the wooden shed which is located at the spot where the huge prehistoric animal met its death eons ago.

NAPPANEE IS WINNER BY A 26-22 SCORE Local Boys Lead Till Close of Game -Lose Overtime. ■ After leading Nappanee’s Bulldogs until th© last minute of play, Syracuse’s basketball team lost a bitter!j fought game Friday night, in three minutes over time play, by a score of 22 to 26. The game was packed with thrills and as time went on with the Syracuse boys always leading by a narrow margin, the game became faster and more fiercely fought. The crowd, the largest attending anj game this year, caught the spirit oi the thing, arid the gymnasium r*ng with cheers, moans and groans as e basket was made or some foul was called on some luckless player. Syracuse players went on to the floor determined to win from the highly vaunted Nappanee team, and almost succeeded. This must have been a surprise to some of the wise in-basket-ball, who had predicted an easy win for Nappanee. The scoring began with Lehman, left forward for Nappanee, making a field goal. Then Nicodemus of Syracuse shot two field goals followed immediately by one from Robison. 'Syracuse stayed in the lead, narrowed to u one point margin, until the last moment of play when Troup, Nappanee center, caged one from underneath the basket, tying the spore 20 to 20. Nappanee fans who had started for the doors, considering the ganie lost, returned to places and again loosened their w'raps, as the whistle sounded for the fend of the game. In the thrfee minute overtime, Syracuse appeared a bit on edge and could not get going. Nappanee took the initiative and worked the ball to a point beneath the basket, where Troup made a field goal. Lehman soon shot another, making the score 24 to 20, in favor of the visitors. Syracuse caged two free throws, Jones shooting one, and Nicodemus thfe- other. But Nappanee, as a final gesture of triumph, shot another (Continued on Last Page) MENCH AND SLED CRASH THRU ICE Ice is oftintes thin and treacherous, and the jwater at the mouth of the channel is cold. Such is the verdict of Richard Mench, Monday, just before noon, after he took a cold plunge through the ice in Joel Wilt’s motor sled. Mench had taken Witt’s motor sled out on Syracuse lake to tune up thejnotor. Wilt had warned him before he left to keep close* to the shore when leaving and coming back across the mouth of the channel, he said. After getting the motor to run, Mench decided to return to the Wilt factory, situated near the channel. He got half way across the lake, shut off the motor, and then, the spectators say, suddenly all they saw of Mench was his head sticking out of the water. Alkjhat was visible of the motor sled was its propellor. Men<;h succeeded iiy pulling himself out, and sent (por dry clothes. Clad in these he nearly fell in again, while trying to pull the sed out with block and tacke. He got it out all right, not damaged in anyway, they report.

The bones still missing, according to Dr. Sanford are: the shoulder blade, and lower bones of the hind leg. He said that the knee cap and the heel of a hind leg had been found, l;ut the tibula and fibula are still missing, which is rather odd. “We are going dfeeper after the bones which are still missing,” he said. Those uncovered have been at about the same level, and soundings have been made without striking more bones. But logs have been located below, and will be important in determining the age of the mastodon. Experts will take the logs, polish the cross sections of these, count the annular rings and determine the dry and wet years shown (hereon; and compare these cross sections with other sections of wood of known history. Only one of each sort of bone of the mastodon is really necessary for their study, they report, as duplicates can be made when one original is found.

RQZEN LAKES GIVE SPORT-INJURIES Syracuse and Wawasee lakes took on the appearance of a winter resort, when an airplane landed or Syracuse, to join the skaters, fishermen and ice boats there Sunday. Milo Himberlake and James Connolly had visited the Goshen airport Sunday morning, and Timberlake ac cepted the offer to return to Syra case witff the pilot, Ed. Voras, whik Connolly drove his car back. ' The landing on Syracuse lake about noon, was made easily, the airplane showing no need of chains or its carriage wheels, or substitute skis for wheels. But when the pilot was ready to take off, the Taystanders willing to help throw over the propellor needed chains or galoshes or something. They could obtain nc un-skiddable footing on the ice, sc they could throw over the propellor, and it was necessary to wheel the plane to the shore before jJ*e_4tfotor could thus be started. The take-off was easy. Power ice sleds fr.om Goshen, Milford and Ligonier were brou’ght t< Syracuse Sunday to join those of local residents, Skaters from out of town joined the ranks, as did fishermen. . Several mishaps occurred. Sunday morning, Mrs. Sadie Burnside of So. Bend, was walking on the ice of the kettle on Wawasee lake, carrying a dinner pail, when she slipped and fell, injuring her right shoulder. It was at first thought this was broken, but examination showed it was a sprain. . , On Syracuse lake, a girl skater from Goshen fell, Sunday afternoon, and cut her knee so that medical attention was required to dress the injury. ' Herman Jensen was another skater hurt during the afternoon. He fell on the ice, spraining his ankle. The Syracuse Ice Cream Co. started cutting ice for storage, Sunday afternoon, continuing this work Monday. HA§ BRIDGE PARTY.
