Ia Porte. June 29-Since the passage of the

trail Union Telephone Company, operating the
plant in this city, has served notice on all sub
scribers canceling former rental contracts, July

circulated among all the old subscribers with
new contracts, wherein the new law placing the
rental at $50 per year is avoided by charging $50
for what the company terms hetelephone rental
and 1913 for Tabor and service charges for
switching. construction and maintenance charges
for lines batteries, central Office apparatus, mag
nets, bell and other appurtenances," making the
rental virtually the same as prior to the late law
viz: $40 per year. Mayor Nye says he is OPP
posed to the people paying more than the
legal rate, and when Mr.. Castle called on him to-
own telephone, wordy war ensued, the lie was
passed and the Mayor struck Mr.. Castle in the
face, who promptly skipped out, not waiting TO
be bounced by the irate official, who is a giant

The Kitchener Verdict.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SHELBYvILLE. June 29.-The item in an In
dianapois morning paper, to the effect that Mr..
Kitchener was dissatisfied with the verdict in the
Fertich case, and would move for a new trial. is
wholly untrue and unjust to him, for he has
always said that the suit was only brought to
establish a principle and not to recover money.
Mr. Kitchener is as we'll satisfied with the
dict of one dollar as if it had been
Cor ten thousand dollars, for the
verdict establishes the principle for which
he was contending. The defendants attorneys
say they will move for a new trial, but it is not
believed the motion will be granted. AS there
is one paragraph in the complaint alleging false
Imprisonment, the lawyers say the verdict will
carry the costs against Professor Fertich. 1t is
claimed that the costs will amount to $500.

walking across clover-feld near where the sus-

hole in the shape of a grave, four feet long and
two and half feet wide. A peculiar, sickening
odor came from it, and hogs had been near it.
The sheriff and a deputy made an
investigation this morning and dscov-

the group, but got away as possible
He was seen to join the above mentioned band
all of whom had stopped on the road below. AS
the men around the grave could not be seen
from the wagons, because of the hill, the man
must have come from a hidden motive, unaware
that anyone was near the spot The remains of
the children were evidently buried in the hole
and, afterward, when the hogs began to root
them up, taken away. Circumstances noted by
those in the vicinity of the camp, and which
were held of no significance then show that the
lost children were with there gypses then, and it
is proven that they were not with them at the
