John z. Leuteritz, who lives short
distance east of town. left Monday to
make a six-months' visit to Dresden and
other points in Saxony, Germany. John
has not seen his aged mother and other
members of the family for twenty-five
years and his present visit viii be
| great surprise to them, as they have not
| the slightest intimation OF his intended
visit. Should beneficent heaven grant
| that the mother and son may meet under
| felicitous circumstances, words cannot
| picture the joy of that fond old mothers
| heart. 1t will indeed be to her an au-
| tumn sunbeam Of unusual brightness

The case against Thomas Rust, who
| lives near Nevada, and who was arrested
some months ago on the charge OF as
| saulting his daughter, was dismissed and
Rust was released from Jail. We learn
that the girl went before the grand jury
| and denied the story which she told her
| neighbors at the time of her fathers ar
| rest, and for that reason no indictment
was returned. The girl evidently swore
FALSELY at one time or another and her
| actions in the matter have been the source
| OF much uncomplimentary comment.
Before Squire Fippen her evidence was
| OF the most discriminating nature against
her father but 1t seems that she has
greatly changed her mind.--TiptOn Times.
Mrs. Abigail Hoel Davis died in Craw-
louisville Tuesday, aged ninety-eight.
| Mrs Davis was born Feb 8, 1895, at
Newark, N. J., and at the time of her
marriage in 1915 to Randolph Davis
sided in Butler county, Ohio. In 1926
they came to Montgomery county
settling Indian creek in Brown town
| ship. Their first home was typical log
| cabin in the midst of an unbroken forest,
| the one room answering the purpose Of
| parlor, bedroom and kitchen. Mr.. and
| Mrs. Davis were industrious and in time
| had a comfortable income. They had
| nine children, six sons and three
| daughters. The sons living are Isaac
and John Davis. The daughters are
Miss Eliza Davis. Mrs. Jemima McKin-
| ley and Mrs. mary Burgess.
The county commissioners have pur-
| chased lot on the corner of Eighth
and Broadway on which to erect a new
| jail. The lot was bought Of Mrs. r.
Baker, for which she received $2O5O.
| The location is an excellent one, being
| In close proximity to the court house.
| A handsome jail will be built at cost
| of $4,000, with all the latest improve
| ments and appurtenances and when
| completed will be the finest in southern
| Indiana. This is something that Knox
| county has needed for great while,
as the 1ail we now have was built on
| filthy, disagreeable place and dis
grace to the county. The new Jail will
| be after the most modern type, and we
| predict that it will be thing of beauty

The other evening there was a wedding
| at Clay City. A number of young men
made up a charivari party and some Of
them imbibed too freely. At late hour,
| and while in a restaurant on Fifth-st.,
| two Of the young men, Charles White
| and Robert Wagner. became involved in
a quarrel, the former attacking the lat
| ter, and in turn being knocked down
| by Wagner with a club, the blow rem
| dering White senseless. When White
| was picked up II was discovered he had
| an open knife in his pocket, and as it is
| stated he was the aggressor in the quar-
| rel, the fact of the knife being found on
his person leads to the conclusion that
| Wagner acted in self defense Wagner,
| however, skipped out to avoid arrest.
| Physicians say White cannot recover
| from the injury infiicted.-Brazil Demo-

| The unusually quiet town of Angola
was startled yesterday Tuesday about
noon bv the sad and true report that
| one Of her worthy citizens, Seneca Dut-
| ter. had taken his life with his own hand.
| He had been unweH for several days
| with fever. but was apparently improv-
| ing and was up town in the forenoon.
While at dinner at the home of his
| father. where he and his wife have been
| living some time awaiting the compile
ton of their new residence on E. Maui
incest. he left the table and went to an
| adjoining room about ten feet distant
and laid down on a sofa. Soon after
the family heard the report Of a revolt
yer. and on rushing to the room found
that he had shot himself near the center
of the forehead. He died instantly and
without a single struggle.-KendaIlville

Every city ought to have a stringent
law prohibiting the young of either sex
from wandering about the streets after
dark, says the South Bend Tribune. If
parents could only see the actions of
their little sons and daughters some Of
these nights, they would be more par
ticular about knowing where their chill
dren were and hail with delight such
ordinance as exists in Newburg, Ore,
| which forbids any person under the age
Of eighteen years to wander about the
| town after d. m, between November
and April and after p. m. during the
rest of the year, unless bearing per-
NIT from or being in company with pa
| rents or guardians. Many are the seeds
| of wickedness sown by this custom of al
| lowing children and young people to
roam the streets at will during the hours
| of darkness.
Charles A. futile, the new professor of
| history and sociology of Wabash college,
delivered the first of series of public
| lectures Tuesday evening at the college
| chapel Besides students goodly num-
| Der of citizens. both ladies and gentle
| men, were present. He was introduced
| by President Burroughs. The initial lee
| ture was mainly devoted to the basic
principals of economics, a study that
| should engage the attention of the
| masses as well as the student. Prof
| Tuttle is pleasing tallxer and his lecture
| bore all the evidences Of a man thor
| oughly conversant with the branches he
| proposes to teach. Wabash college can
| be congratulated that this chair has been
established and that the services of a
| thoroughly competent man have been
secured to I'LL it.--C-awfordsville Journal.
"I was n thrilling poker game the
other night" said a pensive youth.
| 1--WE had no chips, so we used matches.
| I was banker. We gathered all the
| matches in the room and in our clothes
and then divided them out at "a cents
| per match. All went well. Everybody
| had good hands and betting was red
| hot. Luck seemed 10 be impartial and
| when we stopped the winner ought to
have been only about 50 cents ahead;
| but when IL came to cashing up found
| that the bank was out SO. Then one
| OF the players kicked because I would
| not redeem matches that had been used
| to light cigarettes. Another man
| growled because he could not bet half
| a match for IL cents. / could not find
| out where all those matches came from
