Coed Fortune ut Last.

From the lin'lsy News Miner We con-
dense the following with reference to
Mrs.. Blssett. mother OF Ms. John
Kslsch. we'll known by our citizens ms
she and her husband were until lately
residents of Elkn.
In the early days Of California Mr..
Abner Bnssett went; tu the golden State
and in company with j. S. Emery pnr.
chased n Spanish grnnt comprising
about 90 square miles Of land on Carmel
Iny, seven miles from Monterey. Sub
sequently other claimants appeared aud
n tedious litigation followed. In 1870
Mr.. Bassctt died in Nevada leaving his
widow erccutrix OF his esti to to whom
was l,it the duty OF defending the
r yhts OF herself and ler eight children.
The question came up in Judge llotF-
mans Court Mt san Francisco some
three years ago and a decision wRs rem
dered in favor of the heirs Of Mr.. Bias
seit aud the partner. Mr.. Emery.
During all these years the npl | cation
for n patent by Mr.. Eurry and tho
Bassctt heirs has been StubOOrnly re-
sisted by ha adverse claimants but
within tho last few da:s Mrs. Bnssett
received word from Mr.. Emery that the
patent hns Mt last been granted and
would he in her hnn,tS shortly after the
first nf Janunrv. The property is very
valuable, having been estimated Mt S3,-
COO, 900, IL half Of which belongs to
Mrs. Bassett and her children, six sons
and two daughters, all Of whom, excel t
two. reside in Ketchnm.
We congratulate the family on their
good fortune, and tIuSt that there will
be no further difficulty in securing un-
disputed possession OF thu valuable
property.

A FIELD FOR ATHLETICS.
The Plan the 7. NJ. G. A. Proposes to Carry
Out for the Benefit of Its Members.

The Y. III. G. A. has for some time contem-
plated having an athletic ground for the use Of
its members. Arrangements have about been
concluded Will the State Board Of Agricultu re
for the field within the new race course at the
fair grounds. Is this comprises seven or eight
acres. it will furnish ample space for the various
kinds Of sport in which young men generally
take an interest. including baseball. lacrosse.
tennis and bicycling. After broachine the mat
ter to the State fair managers the young men
were informed that the Y. NJ G. A. could have
the ground free of rent, provided IL would make
all the needed improvements thereon, and would
give the Fair Grounds Association % Der cent.
OF the gate receipts at al athletic contests held
there at which an admission fee was charged.
To improve the grounds TO suit the purposes Of
the association will cost about $500. and this
amount the young men have already raised
among themselves. While the arrangement
with the State fair managers has not been alto
gether perfected, il is far enough advanced to
make the enterprise reasonably certain. It is
hoped to have the grounds ready by the 1st of
September.
The plan as adopted c~ontemplstes placing the
baseball diamond at the north end of the field,
with the bicycle track at the south of IL. With
in this track Will be the tennis courts. One OF
the reasons why IL is desired to complete the
grounds ut 90 early date is in order that o State
championship for amateurs may be held during
STATE fair week.

Taking Care of Themselves.

The members Of the late Indiana Lodge, No.
81. United Order of Honor, who withdrew from
the insolvent Grand Lodge, met last even
ing and took steps towards organizing an indie
pendent association on q plan similar to that
by which the Grand Lodge was conducted. The
committee on bylaws reported. aud its work
was adopted without o dissenting voice. Tho
association will be Incorporated by the LIST Of
September. and the charter roll will be left open
until the 30th of this month. The organ
ization is limited to Marion county.
II is expected TO start with $50
members. under the name of the Indiana
Mutual Protective Association" The safe man
ner in which the association is to be conducted,
the founders claim. assures its success. They say
it promises nothing but what it can accomplish.
Five hours after a death occurs they say tho
amount set for death benefits will be paid to the
parties authorized to receive it. The associa-
ton proposes to pay dollar for dollar on demand.
and will place everyone on equal footing.
Another feature, Il is urged, that presents itself
is the small expense. There will be no supreme
or grand officers under high salaries; no per cap
ita tax. and a statement twice each month will
be rendered. The members are all thrifty, hard
working people. Another meeting will be held
next Thursday evening.
