II. Schade is preparing to take a
number of his fine, blooded cat
tie to the Huron mid-state fair
during the second week in Sep
tember. He has expressed q
willingness to take with him an
exhibit of the garden produce

be accepted. Last year every
neighboring county had good
displays at the Huron fair. but
Hand county did not. And yet
Hand county's crop was exeelled
by none. A very little effortnow
and no cost will give the county
an exhibit. Farmers should
bring samples of their products,

RESCUED BY NEIGHBORS

FROM WRATH OF HUSBAND.

and She Was Preparing to Leap
from Second-Story Window.

Horace Goodyear was arrested yesterday
afternoon by Bicyclemen Hull and Griffin.
charged with beating his wife and threat
ening to shoot her. Early in the afternoon
the entire neighborhood in the vicinity Of
the Goodyear residence, 7SS Massachusetts
avenue, was startled by the screams Of a
woman, apparently coming from within the
Goodyear home. A crowd soon gathered
around the house. and the cries of wom-
an became more vehement than ever.
Suddenly a woman appeared at the sec
ond-story window. She hesitated a mo-
ment, then threw the window open and
prepared to leap to the sidewalk below.
Just at that time two flremen from the
station nearby came running across the
street with ladder. which they placed
against the side of the house. in a mo-
ment they were carrying the hysterical
woman on their shoulders to the ground
below. In the meantime lookers-on had en-
tered the house by the front door. and at
about the same time that Mrs. Goodyear
touched the ground in safety the citizens
appeared at the door, dragging the kicking
and angry husband out of the house by
the arms.
A moment later and the bicycle police
to the on poic. s Station % in the patroi wagon
while the excited wife told the eager listen
ers that her husband had beaten her until
she had fallen to the floor exhausted. He
left her for a moment, she said, and she
then ran to her room and locked the door.
The cause of the outcries, she said was her
angry husband standing on the outside OF
the door, threatening to shoot her If she
did not let him i'm and to beat her If she
did. Her face bore out the truth of the
statements she made about having been
beaten, and she was told to appear in the
Police Court this morning and testify
against Goodyear.

L. p. Mccormack, of Indianapolis, State
labor commissioner. assisted in settling
the strike. The people are rejoicing that
the strike Is over and that the quarries will
be in operation again. Notice was first
given to the operators on the 18th of Feb
ruary demanding recognition of the union
and a new scale of wages on or before the
1st of May, and as the operators would not
allow either, all OF the employees walked
out on the first of May and the quarries
have been idle ever since. There was
some contention about a certain head
claimed by the employers that he was one
of the ringleaders in getting the men to
walk out. Now that the strike Is settled
the scale of 1s11c zoe and 24c per hour
will be allowed for skilled labor. The busi-
ness interests of the town have been great
ly stified and the farmers were unable to
dispose of their produce during the stand
still. The new cement factory which was
to employ $50 men is no nearer completion
than ii was in April and all influx to the
town was greatly retarded. Men of fami-
lies are almost destitute. and the single men
have moved away, so the only trouble now
will be to get enough men to operate the
twelve big quarries
