Notwithstanding the hard times idlers
on the streets of Greencastle have been
| few and far between this summer True,
| on certain corners one may see the old
| chronic, beer-can swilling FOUNDERS. The
attention of the police is respectfully
called to this gang Of loafers, which
| number about a round half dozen. They
should be made to engage in some
steady employment or else run out of
| town. One crowd has a roost on the
north side, where the can is rushed ev-
| cry half hour in the day. AS soon as
| one OF the gang makes a dime he
sounds signal and loafers rise up like
Rodericks men to partake of the festiv-
/ tiles. Uuless they go to work the Demo
/ crat Will have something to say in re-
| gard to them next week. Some of them
will not work even at odd jobs when the
| cash is rendered them in advance. They
| are a disgrace TO the city and should
| be ordered TO skip.-Greencastle Demo

s. K Harris Wednesday was passing
| along just north of the power house
when he was attracted by loud shouts
| of warning. He turned to get out Of
| danger and he did so was struck in the
| back Of the head with terrible force and
| knocked full length into the mud. He
was stunned by the blow, but was soon
| able TO realize a terrible roaring and
aching in his head, which has since
continued. 1t seems that the men en-
| ployed by the MissisSinewa mining COM
pany had been testing the big six-inch
pipe line, which has three miles of length
and almost a full pressue. The men
place a valve In position, open the mains
| a block distant and blow out all accu-
mutations Of rust, gravel or other for
| eign matter that may have gathered in
| the line Mr.. Harris came by Just in
| time to receive a boulder thrown with all
the terrible force Of the well pressure

The Warsaw Times says that last Mon
| day Sheriff Stoner, on a bench warrant,
arrested Jacob and James Martin and
Mrs. Dinah Alexander, Mrs. Alice Rush.
and Miss Mary Swonger, all Of Milford,
taking Mrs. Rush and Miss Swonger to
Warsaw, the other three giving bail for
| their appearance at court. The Jail be-
| ing unprovided with bedding, the sheriff
was compelled TO temporarily lodge them
| at the White house. They were, how
on Tuesday evening Miss Swonger at
| tempted to commit suicide by taking ar
senic. The sheriff promptly secured the
| services of DR.. Weber, and by persist
ent efforts he saved her lift, and she is
all right again. The party is charged
with stealing both women and children's
| clothing from the house of Mrs. William
| Beatty. There is just a question in the
| minds Of some people as to whether there
may not be some spite work at the bot
tom Of this case.
There was war of words in court
| during the trial of Eliza White VS..
| August Miller. Eliza White is the d.
| vorced wife of Attorney Goldsberry Of
Colfax, and the suit was brought by
! her to set aside an assignment which
she claims he (Goldsberry) made with
| out her authority, and foreclose a
| mortgage she holds on property at Col
| fax. During the course of the trial the
| parties became involved in a war of
| words that the court was powerless to
stop. Mrs. White wanted TO talk, and
| she would and did. She evidently has
| no love for her former husband, and
| denounced him in open court in no I'M
| certain words. You ought to be in the
| penitentiary," she said. Your brother
| is there and that is where you belong.
You are the ringleader Of this affair"
and so she went on. GoldsbeTry also
| took a hand in the affair and it was
| some time before the court and sheriff
| could restore order.-Frankfort Cres-

oliver ]. Greenwalt and family of
| Springfield township were greatly
| shocked yesterday morning when they
went to call the venerable father to find

| before apparently in his usual health.
! Naturally of a jovial disposition, he had
| appeared even more than usually cheer
| full. but in the still watches of the night
| the angel of death had come and the
| sleep of earth had passed into that which

| born in Montgomery county, Pennsyl-
vania, Jan. Is, 1922. When he was four
| teen years old his parents moved to Ohio,
| where he grew to manhood. In 1886 he

Mention was made in the Times
| day or so ago about a lady from Green's
| burg being here in search of her truant
| husband. The lady's maiden name was
| Mary Anderson, living with her widowed
| mother at Greensburg. A few weeks

| dude, and four weeks ago was married

| After two weeks Griswold sent her
| home in Greensburg and went to ko-
