He is set-. ting an example, not buildings palaces I to amuse himself, like a king Ludwig. His enterprise will encotrnyge others,] that need profits more - than Mr..

REPORT OF DEATH FALSE Friends here were much excited at the news published in daily papers ’ :d iv afternoon. saying that Mrs. Chester Smith, a former Milford girl was burned to death in an automobile accident Sunday night at Mobile, Ala. Mrs. Smith, before her marriage was Miss Kuth Coy. Friends in Syracuse, among them Mrs. Walter Kegg visited relatives and friends of the girl in Ligonier elsewhere to learn more about the tragedy and discovered there wasn’t any truth in the report. Daily papers and the Asoeiated. Press are seeking to find who is was who started this false report. o MEN ARE BURNED BY FIRECRACKERS Two innocent bystanders, one a member of the Town Board; were injured by firecrackers on July 4th. James Searfoss and Ernest Buchholz were sitting on a bench in front of the Wawasee resturant when a “Dago bomb” was lighted by a boy nearby. It struck both men, burning their .urns -■■■ that it was necessary that the doctor give them auti-tetanus serum to prevent lockjaw, as well as dress their burns. Mary Lavernier on Kale Island had j her thumb burned the day before the Fourth, and Barbara Jean Brun-i jes, visiting her grandmother, Mrs. D. H. Brunjes, was also' slightly burned by a fire cracker.

She lived all of her life in the vicinity of Syracuse. In addition to her husband Melvin, ■one son,»Joe, three, brothers, C- E. , Meek of Leesburg; E. M- Meek of Warsaw and John Meek of Syracuse, survive. Her sister, Mrs. S. 0. Jeffries died a few weeks ago. HE LEARNED OF HIS GUILT BY READING THE JOURNAL When Hallie Holloway * read lastj week's paper, he saw the account of j : two missing lawn mowers, one from | the home of his Mister, Mrs. Wade| Zerbe, and the other from Mrs. Gertrude Beery’s property. Holloway’s conscience, or memory, immediately began to work, and he * remembered that Wednesday night a ’ week ago, he had gone to his sister’s 1 home to borrow her lawn mower as he had left his at his cottage at Tippecanoe Lake. No one was at home, but the mower was sitting there, so Holloway says he just put it in his machine and, left, thinking he’d return it and' thank his sister the next day. But he forgot all about it until he' read of the big robbery in last week’s paper. He says he has returned the lawn mower and emphatically states hf did not take Mrs. Beery’s. Her’s is still missing.

RUNAWAY CAUSED BY FIRECRACKERS Firecrackers were the cause C>f a runaway Saturday afternoon. “Duck” Traster had parked his horse and wagon on West Main street, and children nearby set off firecrackers near the animal, possibly to see what it would do. It started for home at a rapid pace and the wagon bobbed along behind it, with "Duck” following at some distance .shouting at the horse and those who had frightened it. The runaway left Main street and went up Mil! street? When the animal reached the drive whert it always turns into heme there was a truck there, so ( it kept on going, heaued for cemetery. Arthur Brown happened to be coming along there at that time and grabbed the animal's flying harness and stopped it, holding it until “Duck” arrived. o ■ FRIENDS’ PARTY IS SHOWER FOR BRIDE Mrs. • Dial Rogers and Miss Alice Mann entertained in honor of Mrs. Roy Schleeter, last Thursday evening.

YOUNG GIRLS ENTERTAIN WITH PROGRAM ON FOURTH OF JULY ’

Having enjoyed a Fourth of July entertainment given by young residents of Kale Island last year, Mrs. Henry Grieger invited them to give another such entertainment this year, | using the front lawn of her lake home. So the young women planned a program .made tickets, and went from door to door op Kale Island selling these. A crowd of 19 from the Island and Syracuse attended, which made the income $1.35, according to Miss Lorraine Brenn, manager. Miss Brenn, aged 8H years, Miss Shirlee Rose Feltman, aged 6S year, Miss Mary Jane Le vernier, aged 10, , Miss Mary Walker aged 12, and Miss Rosaline Shapira, aged 10 took part in the program.

It was necessary to sew up the cut in Lou Ka iffnian's ear, and another cut on Mosclene Wogoman’s forehead. They hoped to return home] but discovered that Miss Buhrt could not be moved as became very ill when ever the attempted to get up.. The young men’s parents had been sent for from Goshen, and when it was discovered that Miss Buhrt could | not be brought heme, they phoned to j i her grandparents where she makes | her home, Mr, and Mrs. Sam Rasor. | Mrs. Rasor said she had been worrying from midnight on, as to Evei lyn’s w hereabouts, when the telephone rang teljing her the girls had been hurt earlier in the evening, ■ Mr. and Mrs. Rsgor took Jlr, and Mrs. Wogoman to South Bend with them.

Weeks of Ligonier, Friday/morning. Two weeks ago with her husband' ( and two small children, Mrs. Wepks started on a trip to the home of her , parents in Whiting. Near Michigan City, as they approached the top of ( a steep hill, a truck turned left on ( the highway directly in their path, and the trailer on the truck crashed ( into them, smashing their car and , turning it over into the ditch. The car caught fire with Mrs. Weeks pinned inside and besides serious ] 4>ody injuries she was badly burned j about the body, face and chest, her lower limbs being most severely < burned. I Mr. Weeks and children escaped i ■ with minor injuries. Mrs. Weeks was < taken to the hospital in Michigan] City, where her injuries caused her | death Friday morning. | Funeral services were held Sunday (afternoon. She is survived by her husband, and two sons, Fred Jr. and William Perry; her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Grigson, four brothers, Richard, Roscoe, Conn and Eugene. She was a sister-in-law of Mrs. Estel Moore and Mrs. Harve Cory of Syracuse. —o HURT IN ACCIDENT When Mr. and Mrs. Frank Klink drove to South Bend, last Thursday afternoon to call on their son and family, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Klink, they arrived soon after the automobile accident in which Roy Klink’s daughter had been hurt. Catherine Louise, aged 2, was riding in her father’s car when it was struck by another machine. Her right hip was injured so that it is painful for her to walk, although an x-ray showed that no bones were broken. Her grandparents brought her home to Syracuse with them to visit while she is recovering from her injury. 1

Record business Done By Syracuse Stores Over Holiday. The Fourth of July crowd of visit- . ors to Lake Wawasee was of record i breaking size, and many w r ere disappointed as they could not be accommodated for the night either at the lake or in Syracuse. , In describing the rush Friday-Sat-urday and Sunday, each tells a different story to summarize the state of affairs, “standing room only.” Matty Katzer at the Tavern said: “If I had a dollar for everyone we were forced to turn away —There was a continuous stream all day Friday and Saturday. Former visitors neglected to reserve rooms in advance, thinking there w’ould be no one here, and we had to turn them away as new visitors this summer had taken all the rooms. All of the help here at the Tavern went into “town to spend the night, and I slept on the porch swing. We sent guests The Tavern and other lake hotels couldn’t accommodate into town and to Tippecanoe.” John Boyts at the South Shore Inn said: “We turned more people away than ever before on the Fourth. We sent them as far as Goshen to find rooms as there was nothing nearer.” ' Like other hotels, Johnson’s on Buttermilk Point turned guests away many of whom, disappointed, said they feared they would have to go as far as Ft. Wayne to find rooms. According to the management of the Spink*Wawasee hotel, they could have used another 100 rooms to take care of the many wduld be guests who were turned away. Sargent’s could have filled another hotel with guests by Saturday afternoon they say. Mr. Nearman, manager of the Oakwood Park hotel said: “If we had had another hotel like this one we, could have filled it too. We hated to disappoint so many people.” f According to Sol Miller, the bank here in Syracuse did 80 per cent more business on Monday than on the day after the Fourth last year, which is an indication of the increased business around the lake this year. , In describing crowds at Waco Saturday night, Ross Franklin said: “The crowd this year was so much larger than ever before that there is nothing to compare it by. I should judge there were 1,000 to 1,500 more here this Fourth than any other time. “The dance floor could not accommodate them all, and people crowd-, ed the piers and went boat riding. More than 600. cars were parked on the grounds.” Automobilists who trj,ed to drive around the south shore that night had to take an hour getting past Waco, as the, road was lined with machines coming from both directions, trying to enter the Waco grounds. Cars were parked along both sides of the road for half a mile in both directions from the entrance. Franklin also commented on ' the large “follow up crowd” on the evening of the Fifth, at Waco. Players were accommodated with difficulty at the golf courses near the lake, Ideal Beach was crowded and owners of the Drive-It-Yourself speed boats say that lines were in waiting for this form of entertainment, Saturday and Sunday. Speed boat owners took crowds out all night long Saturday night. Brunjes and Emerson’s restaurants were forced to turn away would be guests. ’ In Syracuse, residents who have rooms for rent for tourists had all of these rooms rented at an early hour and were forced to turn many away. Other residents who usually do not rent out rooms did so this Fourth in order not to disappoint the many people who went from door to door seeking accommodations. The Grand Hotel’s rooms were all taken, and Saturday night the crowd waiting to eat filled all the places in the dining room, while others stood waiting for turns at the tables, so that Mr. Rowdabaugh locked the doors for an hour so that others could not come in and add to the numbers there preventing waiters from serving those at the tables. Churches also reported an unusual! number of visitors Sunday. Rev. R. G. Foust states that at tbe Evangelical church Sunday morning there were 34 visitors, these (people (Continued on Last Page)
