Base Ball This Year.

AS the signs of spring become more
numerous and the weather begins to
give evidence of warmer atmosphere,
the young mans thoughts turn to love,
but those of the fans are turned to the
natlonai game. Last year Plymouth
held an enviable place in the baseball
world and it is proper that this season
her glory should not be allowed to trail
in the dust This city has the material
for one of the best teams in this part of
the state. The city itself believes in
baseball as was shown by the hearty en-
couragement of the club last year. So
with this good material to work on and
the interest in the game, the matter
should be stirred up more lively and a
good team will be the result.
Already Culver academy has asked
for game early in April but no def
mite answer could be given as the mat
ter here has not yet assured material
shape.
In baseball team many things are
necessary; principal among them are
grounds, suits and manager. Mr.. Ed
Kuhn, who so ably engineered the team
last year, says he will be unable to man
age it this season. This is to be re-
gretted, and an effort should be made
to get his reconsideration. If this is
unavailing there is other good material
to draw on and a good manager is
certainty.
In the matter of suits something

Trouble at Bremen.

The town of Bremen. this county had
an exciting time OH Tuesday ana for a
time it looked as though band of COW
boys were doing" the town.
Mr.. Jacob Miller. a farmer. was held
up by gang Of tramps IN a saloon at
Littleton and the toughs started for
Bremen. An alarm was sounded and
posse of citizens started after them.
They were found in Bremen and the
city marshall and two constableS started
TO arrest them. The gang resisted ar
rest and enforced their resistance with
a fusilade upon the officers. The Off
GERS returned the fire and a running
igh occurred. After a long chase the
gang was driven to bay in swamp and
six of the eight We're captured. Up TO
Thursday noon the other two had not
been located.
During the fight several people had
narrow escapes: one of these was Miss
Eva. daughter of Daniel snyder and a
niece of Mr.. snyder, of the firm of Eel
Ter Il snyder. this city. The captured
men were taken to South Bend for trial
as the robbery occurred in It. Joseph

\ Basket Combination.

4 move that promises 10 be OF con
siderable importance in the basket trade
Of the United States was opened at Ft
Wayne on March 18th and will prob
ably result in advantage to the factories.
For sometime wholesalers have been de
manding such low prices on baskets
sold by manufacturers that there was
very little if any money in them. In
one instance, the wholesalers We're able
to sell one kind OF baskets at a lower
price than the makers could sell and
make money on them. To avoid such
losses in certain lines, the western bas-
ket manufacturers met at TT. Wayne on
/ the 18th inst, and organized to maintain
a reasonable price. and prevent jobbers
from forcing prices below cost of pro-
duction. Within thirty days from that
date the eastern manufacturers Will
hold a meeting and form a similar or
ganiZation. Then later the entire num-
ber of manufacturers Will convene at
Chicago and form national association
The Edgerton Mfg. Co., of Plymouth,
are members of the new organization
and think it will be of material benefit
TO the manufacturers of baskets.
Many members of the meeting at TT.
Wayne, did not realize the Importance
of the industry.
Ten years ago there were only eight
basket factories in the United States.
At the present time there are over 200.
When a gentleman offered the state
ment that the Plymouth factory had
orders for over 1000 dozen baskets, il
was discredited, but this is true. The
local factory is small one in extent,
but it represents one of the largest in
tereStS in the association. They are one
of Marshall county's best paying indus
tries and will be greatly benefited by
this new association.

must be said. The old maroon suits are
good but should be replaced this year.
When the team gives Plymouth good
ball and at an unu u l. iOw price, it
IS right that the city should provide the
suits. Let our citizens canvass the mat
ter and take subscription 10 help the
boys in this way.
As To grounds word a'so can be
said. The far grounds are too far
away and new site should be looked
up. There comes to us twosuggestions.
one the grounds northeast of the Fl.
Wayne depot and the other the place
north of the Nandaia. These can
either of them be fixed up at compare
lively little expense. inlo fine grounds
and some of the richer citizens of the
city could do it and never miss the out
lay OF money.
The national game is q good thing. 1t
should be agitated so that by the open
ing cf the season, a good team would be
in the field from Plymouth.

A Pltiful Tale. But True

1t was the figure of a man wretched-
ly clad, ill-fed with sunken cheeks, wild
looking eyes, and stamped all over with
sin and poverty. lie was wearily dodg-
ing in and out as if to avoid being seen,
presently he turned iuto a narrow alley
and stood beneath the flickering light
of gas lamp.
Hastily pulling piece of dirty news
paper from his pocket he once more
read the advertisement: pants made
to order at 81, no more, no less, by the
Apollo Custom Pants Mnfgs., of Chica-
go, ILL.,, NJ. Lauer x Son, selling agents
at Plymouth, Ind" He also read let
ter, "If you get pair of these pants
made to order, you can come home and
all will be forgiven" that was all il said
and tear fell on the paper as he stood
there reading Call at once as our
spring styles are now ready for inspec
tion.

In His Own Net.

Constable Charles Miles has fallen a
victim to the net he spread to ensnare
other offenders against the law. For
some weeks he has been working to ar
rest young men found in the house of
Lena Foley, charging that 1t was a dis
orderly house. 1t became apparent to
Chief Of Police Meyers, that Miles was
not sincere in his work and on Saturday
night he found chance to ascertain
the truth or falsity of Miles position.
On that evening the chief was given TO
understand that Miles was at Mrs.
F0ley's house, and securing warrant
from Justice COrbin, lie made a raid and
found Miles and the woman in a COM
promising attitude. After searching
Miles clothes. to relieve him of any
weapons he might have, the constable
was taken before Justice Corbin. from
whom the warrant was gotten few
minutes before, and fine was imposed.
Here there Is difference of opinion.
On Wednesday forenoon, Squire Corbin
Informed an INDEPENDENT reporter
that the case had not been docketed.
Chief Myers was given to understand
that the fine was S25 and costs; others
say the fine was only so and costs. but
Justice Corbin says it was SO. The
fine was stayed by Mr.. John Ashley,
who is one Of Miles bondsmen.
The matter has caused universal com
ment and the opinion prevails that, if
not already done, Miles should be re-
moved from Office.
Chief Myers has in his possession
proof of another escapade of Miles
where the constable is reported to have
/ collected a fine in another county on
the strength of a warrant issued in
Marshall county, when, as a matter OF
fact. the warrant had never been served
or the fine imposed.
Such dealings make corrupt official:
and summary measures should be re
sorted TO in such cases,

Burned to the Ground.

Fire on Friday night entirely de
stroyed the country residence OF MIR.
Robert Liggett, three miles southwest
Of Plymouth. Early in the evening the
fire was discovered burning merrily in
in the second story, and an effort was
made to subdue the flames. Seeing this
was futile the family gave their atten-
tion to saving what of the household
goods it was possible to get out. In
this way a good share of them were
taken from the burning structure be
fore it became impossible TO enter the
dwelling.
From what was seen 10y the family ii
is supposed the fire caught in the sec
ond floor from the fue which was over
heated by the fire below. When all had
been done in and around the building
that was possible. Mr.. Liggett and fam
ily came to town. The burnedOut
owner has not decided what his future
course will be, but he will probably re-
build as soon as possible. Mr.. Liggett
carried no insurance, hence the loss
falls on him with greater force.

A New Industry.

A new and at present embryOtic in
the manufacture of a new bicycle in
in Plymouth. Messrs. Walls e Under
wood are the makers and are meeting
with marked success. The Alert, as
they call it is light roadster, weighing
twenty-five pounds. 1t is of a high
grade, with the diamond frame, the
Plymouth's rim, and they finish them
with handled bar, saddle, pedals and tire
to suit the wishes of the customers.
The points of the new design, which
they claim make it superior to other
makes are in the head, which is shorter
than in other machines, and in having
the bearings of the two wheels and the
crank boy, which are on a dead line.
This they say, makes the bicycle
stronger and at the same time removes
the pedals from point so near to the
ground.
They have been working on them
only for about two months and have
put out over dozen wheels. The two
gentlemen do the entire work them
selves, using leisure hours for the work.
In this way they feel that all the work
is of the best and hence give guaran-
tee of the wheels. In this way also they
are able to put the wheels on the mar
ket at price lower than other high
grade wheels. They have also design

a newspaper so far as subscriptions are
concerned, would not be of very marked
success. 1t is to those who appreciate
the efforts of the INDEPENDENT we
wish TO call attention to this fact. While
the subscription list of a country jour
nal has but very little influence over
the actual outlay of money in its run
ming expenses, yet, to make it paying
investment for the advertisers, whom it
depends to large extent for its sup
port, the newspaper must have the cir
culatiOn to make the returns profitable
to its patrons.

And while we are in this locality, we
might call attention to the discOurteOus
manner the judges private room at the
court house was subjected to during

extreme interest manifested, and crowd

We observe our worthy county COM

down a new stone walk in front of the

the necessities entitled to the finest

We might also add that we have Observ-
ed much needed improvement in this
part of the county's possessions, andthat
is barn upon the jail property. An
official of the county, in the position
occupied by Sheriff Smith. needs horses

borhood over for some place to house

1t is usually considered proper and
right for a lecturer or preacher to deslg-
nate his subject by taking text apro-
pos of the matter to be discussed, but
with the knight of the quill it is con-
sldered proper and right to launch out
wherever he feels disposed to, keeping
if possible out of deep water. But
under existing circumstances, feeling
the profundity to be enlarged upon
might be misconstrued, we will direct
our thoughts along the line of, and per-
tanning to, the INDEPENDENT.

For the past FIVE months this publica-
ton has appeared weekly to It's many
readers, and while meeting with num-
erous comments complimentary to the
favorable impression made, yet we are
compelled to acknowledge, an unjust
and detrimental opinion is abroad, and
though not of an antagonistic nature,
yet so deep-rooted as to deprive the
INDEPENDENT in no small degree of
its well-merited support

Observations.

In noting matters of interest that
transpire in on. beautiful city, we will
some times feel under robligatiOnsto cas-
ually speak of matters that may not be
of the utmost importancetot the readers
of the INDEPENDENT. SO this week we
are inclined 20 produce little sermon,
not for our readers but for those who
are not at present subscribers. And if
it should occur to those who receive this
publication weekly that a neighbOr or
friend could read the sermon with profit
they will confer an everlasting favor on
the publisher by giving them the oppor-
tunity.
Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1894-1895, 1895-03-22

When this publication was first
launched in Plymouth, 1t was asserted
by some of the wise ones that its life
was of short duration, intimatlng that
as soon as the election was over it
would die natural death, like former
publications that had blossomed like
mushrooms IN single night. After the
election passed off and we still contin-
ued "to do business at the old stand :
we were given one more month of grace
by the knowing ones. These same
stories have continued to follow us on
down to the present time, and still the
INDEPENDENT continues to do business
and prosper.
Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1894-1895, 1895-03-22

But our little sermon is not to ridi-
cule or condemn those, who no doubt
have good and sufficient reasons to deal
cautiously with a stranger who comes
among them to enter into business.
But to us it seems, little sound argu-
ment, or in other words, common sense
in presenting our claim before an intel
ligent and fair dealing public, will be
received in beftting spirit.

Any person desiring the INDEPEND-
ENT, and sending or bringing their
name to this office, can receive the In
DEPENDENT FREE for three months,
under the following conditions:
1st.-If at the expiration of three
months the INDEPENDENT is not in as
good condition, locally and otherwise as
the day your name is entered upon the
list, you receive the three months sub
scription for nothing.
But if at the expiration of the al
loted three months, the INDEPENDENT
still remains good home local paper
you pay one years subscription. Could
fairer offer be made? We mean busi
ness, and propose to refute the charges
made in regard to this paper not being
,,ernanent enterprise in Plymouth.

No publication of five months exist
ance, circumstances taken into cOnsid-
Grafton. has received such encourage
ment in the way of subscriptions, as
the INDEPENDENT. But still we are
not satisfied and will not be, until we
pass the 1000 mark. and this we pro
pose to accomplish before volume l eX-
pires. Our offer of 81 a year before
April 1st, has met with marked success,
and ere the expiration of that date over
200 people Will have taken advantage of
this exceedingly low price.
Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1894-1895, 1895-03-22

1t is a fact, and no man of business
sagacity will refute the statement, that
no man will come into community, in
vest over $1,000 like the proprietor of
the INDEPENDENT has done in Plym-
outh, not taking into consideration the
hundreds of dollars to place the plant
in operation, and the moving of his
family, etc., to conduct business for
one, two, six months, or even year.
Nor would it be consistent for man to
enter into community like Plymouth
with two papers to compete with, with
out first taking into consideration the
enormous amount of work that would
lie in store for him, before an Independ-
ent Journal would be thoroughly estab-
lished. These important features were
seriously contemplated, and lecoming
convinced of the feasibility of such an
undertaking, we came to Plymouth.
Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1894-1895, 1895-03-22

Now for an assertion. In our short
stay in Plymouth we have been told by
over 1000 people when we say 1000 we
say that number conservatively) that
the INDEPENDENT was the best local
paper published in Marshall county,
and they intended in the near future to
be enrolled as subscribers. Now, if five
thousand people would make this same
promise and not follow it up by action,
Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1894-1895, 1895-03-22

Now will those who think the INDE-
PENDENT worthy to enter their homes,
and yet are suspicious of it being a fix
ture in Plymouth, take under consider
alton this offer; weigh it carefully; and
act upon its suggestion?
