Reports Exaggerated.

The Montevideu Commercial says
of the reported attempted lynchine
near that place:-
The actions of few irresponsible
parties in taking the law into their
own hands as they diu Sunday night
is strongly condemned by the law
abiding and responsible citizens gen.
orally. Not for love of the negro
but for the respect of law and order
Such actions only breed lawlessness
disorder and often costs innocent
lives.
1t is plain to every one that if mob
violence is to be checked then Justice
must be melted out on shorter notice
than is usually the case. At least
this is generally the excuse used by
those concerned and is the particular
argument in the case at hand While
at no time do we consider that tn ire
was any danger of lyncbing in the
present case, there is possibility Of
d delay for months. Sooner or later
the state will be forced to take action
in this matter and there is no case
that demands more speedy action
than the present one. The 18th judi
cial district should set an example
and take the initiative in establishing
a new system. Instead of waiting
until the regular November term of
court special grand jury should be
called and the prisoner indicted,
tried, convicted and sentenced with
no delay.

The GIenwood Game.

The Morris team had an easy pick
ng with the Glenwood Kids Tues
day says the GIenwood Gopher and
carried the game away with the score
Ia to 8, which was very punk.
The Kids put up the poorest exhi-
bition of baseball since the team
started making Glenwood famous
From the start of the game they
never had a look in and the score
fairly represented the strength of the
teams as it we're. Several of the team
blew out fuses on essy chances early
in the game, badly discouragiDg Ed
Abrahamson, the popular young
twirler. He held out for the nine
ronnds, however, bnt was sadly out
of kilter when backed into the round
house at the close of the game. His
arm has not been right since he
strained it, but he worked faithfully
to keep the score down. Only four
hits and nineteen errors tell the tail.
The scoring started in the first
round when P. Rigg made the circuit
on base on balls assisted by two
costly errors. Morris did likewise.
Glenwood could do nothing much I'm
til the sixth. McCsuley's hit and
another error brought IN another run

dRAFTERs AT WORK
Slick Scheme Being Worked Among
Farmers to Get Commissions
for Nothing.

A land company known as the Sher-
burn Land Co. of Sioux Rapids, la;
has had agents thru this vicinity list
ing lands which are for sale, and a
number have listed their lands with
this company. Upon investigation
these farmers have discovered that the
listing of lands is nothing more than a
graft and good one at that. The
company has neatly printed contract
which they ask the farmers to sign
and which great many would sign
unless they read it over very carefully
1t goes something like this: "Gentle-
men:--Please try to sell above des-
cribed land for four months or until
this list is sooner terminated as here
in provided at $ per acre." Then
it goes on and says, and this is where
the graft comes I'M When you sell
the land or otherwise perform your
part of the agreement l will pay you
81 per acre commission" To bring
the contract down to few words the
farmers signing it agrees to give the
company 50 per acre for simply no
thing All the company agrees to
to do is to ''try to sell'' the land fol
that amount. r. L. Eastman, the
agent who listed few farms in this
vicinity, explained the matter by say
ing that it meant sa of the lsnd or
no commission, but after the agree
ment was sent in to the head office it
meant just what it said. We were
shown letter this week direct from.
the head office Ahich states right out
that their part of the contract is full
filled by merely "trying to SELF the
land We therefore warn the farmers
to give these agents a wide berth,
turn the dogs loose on them, when
they step in your yard for their object
is to skin you as can be seen right on
the face of the contract. Their ex-
PLANTATION has nothing to do with it
as the head Office will hold you re-
sponsible for the contract you signed.
Patronize your home land agents and
be On the safe side, for they live right
and would not do any thing that
was not right.-Raymond News.

WIN FROM HERMAN
MORRIS BOYS GET TWO OUT
THREE GAMES.
Holly Contested Game with Herman
on Local Field Won by Score
Three to Four.

Altho a game was played last Fri
day evening and another is to be
played next Monday evening, the
season really came to an end last
Thursday when Morris and Herman
crossed bats on the local diamond
The game was one of the best of the
season, being close and exciting
from start to finish. Both sides
played fast clean game, and the
article of ball seen by the many
Herman visitors who accompanied
their team, and the patriotic home
rooters who stand by the boys in gray
and red-win or lose, was as good ss
could be seen hn any diamond.
The game began with Herman at
bat. Moses, the first man up, struck
out, Graham sent one ofBrown's twist
ers into deep right just inside the.
foul line for three bases. Wells
struck out. Nelson sent a
popup into infield which no one
handled, and Graham scored
Dahlvean sent an easy one toSpooner.
Herman failed to score again until
the seventh.
The Morris boys made their first
run in the third inning. Jones sent
little popup to short. Oanielson
made hit. O'MaIley got to first on
an error, Danielson going to second.
Spooner struck out. Felix then came
to bat and sent line drive over
first scoring Danielson. Ross knock
ed grounder to short, and the side
went out.
Up to the sixth inning the score
stood one and one In the sixth
Morris gained the lead. Clarke Sc
cured free pass to first, stole
second, went to third and came home
on an error. The next three men
were easy outs
In the seventh Herman sent two
men across the plate and things look
ed little gloomy in the Mo ris camp.
Rownwell went to first on an error,
stole second, and came home on T.
Nelson's hit. Moses struck out.
Graham made hit scoring T.Nelson,
A. Nelson struck out, End Thompson
sent popup to first,
With the score and 5 against
them, Morris went to bat. Felix
and Ross both went out. Clarke the
next man up knocked the ball and
went clear around the circuit and
scored on an error. By that time the
Morris crowd we're Singing hats,

OBrien, the next man up. sent a |
single to center He stole second,
Brown was then at bat and he caught |
one of Nelson's outdrops sending
the ball into right for two
bases, scoring O'Brien and winning
his own game. Jones flew to Mel
son. Herman failed to score in the
half of the ninth, and so the game
stood 4 to 3 in favor of Morris.

The State Sues william McCaslin and
His Wife.

The State of Indiana filed a suit yester-
day which questions the title of property
sold by Marion county for delinquent taxes.
The suit was filed through Attorney Cen
sral Charles w. Miller and is against VIII
liam McCaslin and his wife. Margaret Nc
Caslin. who now own one hundred acres
Of land on the Rockville road three miles
west of Indianapolis. The property was
bought by them several years ago after
they had satisfied the taxes charged against
the property BY the county.
In the hrst paragraph of the suit the
Caslins because they, as alleged, fraudu-
lently retained possession OF the property,
ana In second paragraph IL Is asked that
their title to the property be declared null
and void The third paragraph enumerates
the causes for complaint and demands that
the land be decided back to the State.
The complaint reciteS that the land was
owned by the State of Indiana in 1889 and
was decided 10 Joshua B. Gotschall and his
Governor, and Bruce Carr, state auditor
The appraised value of the property was
5000 and IL was sold for 81 rs, but because
Auditor Carr failed to present a plat of the
land with the deed the sale was held to be
illegal and the first payment of the pur-
chase price, $50, refunded to GotschalI.
Before the money was refunded the prop
erty had been decided by Gotschall to Ed
ward j. Robson and wife. but they filed a
quit claim to IL when asked 10 do so. For
some unaccountable reason the taxes were
charged to Robson and in 1891 the property
was sold by the county auditor to McCas-
lin for delinquent taxes.
