Farmers Sell Live Stock and Take
Checks Which Prove to Be
Worthless.

Culver, Ind, Oct. 22-As a result
of shipping live stock TO Chicago and
accepting as payment checks that do
not seem to be worth paper they are
written on, Marshall county farmers
find they are out many thousands of
dollars. For some time men claiming
to represent n commission firm in Chi
caSo have been buying live stock in
this and adjoining counties. The firm
was said to be Ewart Bros. & Baker.
Baker, who did not handle any money
of the concern, and who is known to
many farmers in this section. acted as
buyer and is not held responsible by
the farmers for their losses.
Baker holds some of the Ewart pa-
per on the Drovers' bank. of Chicago
as well as the farmers. and an inquiry
from S. G. Schilling, of the Culver
Exchange bank, made to the Drovers'
bank was answered with a declarat ton
that the paper is worthless Bigley
and several of his friends will lose
81, 700 or $1,SO0 on shipments of their
stock to Chicago. \ farmer named
Schwartz, living between Culver and
Ora, lost about $1,100 by diSposing of
his stock. Another farmer near Wilma
mac, is out $500 or $500, and it is
thought that many of the transactions
have not been made known.

Danville, Ills. Oct. 22,-Rev. II. c..
Gibbs. the new pastor of the First
Methodist church of this city, is the
man over whom there was such a con-
test at the Illinois conference in Dan
vile two weeks ago that the sessions
were prolonged two days. Rev. Mr..
Gibbs was the pastor of the First
church of Decatur. Tie Official board

cided that it wanted him to come here
and put in its claim to Bishop Merrill,
who presided at the conference and
had the appointive power.
However, the Decatur church re-
fused to give up the minister. 1t is an
unwritten law of Methodism that the
church that entertains Il conference
shall have its choice of pastors. Finnl-
ly the bishop decided that the unwrit-
ten law should be observed and as
signed Rev. Mr.. Gibbs to this charge.

BOMB IN THE BOILER FLUE
Attempt to Blow Up n Thresher Outfit
Missed Connection by Few
Moments.

New Ulm, Mimi. Oct. 22.-What is
believed to have been an attempt to
blow up the threshing outfit of John
Mans and Adam Vinegar was frus-
trated by the discovery of a dynamite
bomb. with cap and fuse, inside the
fiue cover of the boiler operating the
machine. Had the bomb remained
where it was but few moments long
er there would undoubtedly have been
serious loss of life. as Il large crew
of men were at work about the ma
chine.
Vinegar had fired up the boiler
ready for work. when he discovered
that one of the manhOleS of the boiler
was leaking. He removed the cap and
brought to light a piece of iron, eight
feet long. filled with dynamite. The
act is believed to have been the work
of the owner of the rival outfit with
whom the men previously had trouble.
