It has come at last. the grateful. cool
ing rainfall on the withered earth this
afternoon for a limited time. We lift
our tired heads and again sing glad
song. Our ears. which had taken on
the appearance OF sun-dried apples since
the last rainfall become attuned once
more TO the mellow PUNK OF the rain
drops against the features Of tired
nature. We are all more OF less thank
full for the damp spell that we enjoyed
this afternoon, but as an out and out
shower it was not a success. There
was something half-hearted In the way
the thunder rumbled across the sky
and the allotment OF moisture for Grant
county was quickly taken up by the
thirsty, dusty vegetation. What we had
was all right, but we need more. The
corn crop Will be short on account OF
the delay I'm the coming OF the rain
and that delicacy, corn-pone VIII not
adorn the table Of the aristocracy this
season as IL did last year, when that
cereal was 50 abundant. The rain
comes Just I'm time 10 save the grapes,
which fruit Is all that will show up a
big yield this year.-Marion Chronicle.
Tramps are becoming ugly, and IL is
really becoming dangerous 20 travel
along the railroads unarmed. a few
days ago Henry Meyers. a young man,
was on his way 10 Chrisman on the
Michigan Central track. and when about
half way he met two tramps AS he
passed them he was struck a heavy blow
with a club. which luckily just grazed
his temple and the side OF his face.
Meyers then started TO run, and at
tempted TO get through barbed wire
fence and reach a farm house. AS he
was getting through his clothing became
entangled I'm the barb wire and the
tramps caught him. They numerically
beat him with clubs. and as he tried TO
ward off the blows his knuckles were
driven up into his hands. After almost
killing him. the tramps rihed his pockets
and got SIS I'm money. After getting the
money the scoundrels fed. Meyers was
badly hurt. The section men saw the
whole affair, and could have caught the
fellows had they started in pursuit. but
they were afraid OF losing their Jobs, az
the mail train was nearly due and they
did not know whether any officials would
be on the train or not. AS it was. they
took the wounded man TO Porter on a
hand car, where he was properly cared
for-Michigan City Dispatch.
