His Exceileney the, T turkey,

=. AS early as 1541 the. turkey was
classed among the, dainties;in England.
The wild turkey of North. America has
been used mainly as the foundation
from which size. and Vigor, in our do
nestle stock have been gained. The
bronze holds the post Of honor aud
probably. originated from a cross be-
tween the wild and the tame turkey.
It's beautiful plumage and size come
from It's wild progenitor. TO maintain
these desirable qualities crosses are
continually made. The standard
weight Is from sixteen to thirty-six
pounds, according to age and sex.
In point Of production the bronze ex-
ceeds all. others. The coloring is a
ground of black blazoned or shaded
with bronze. This shading is rich and
glowing and when the suns rays are
reflected from these colors they shine
like polished steel. While the female
has the same color, it Is not 80 rich
as that Of the male. Much of, this rich
ness Of color Is lost through inbreed-
ing. On the other hand, It is improv cd
by each cross with the wild birds.

Johnny Fisher, Whose Bicycle
Was Stolen at the Glen
Receivers 1t.
"FESS" JONES HELPS HIM.
CHESTER DEEVERS is ACCUSED
OF THE THEFT AND HE WILL
BE TURNED OVER TO THE JU-
VENiLE COURT.

Johnny Fisher, lad in short trous-
and captured Chester Deevers, another
youth, who had "swiped" Fishers
wheel Monday night at Glen Miller
park The arrest was made at the cor
ner of Eighth and Main streets and
Fisher, with the assistance of pal,
"Fess" Jones. escorted Deevers toward
police headquarters. At Sixth and
Main streets, Fisher and Jones met a
policeman and they turned Deevers
over to him. The young culprit is
now in the city Jail awaiting action
on the part of the authorities.
At police headquarters Fisher who
is a fresh faced, blue-eyed lad, mod
estly told how he arrested Deevers.
Last Monday night l rode out TO
the Glen on my bicycle" said Johnny,
"and | hid my wheel in a dalk spot.
Deevers must have followed me, cause
when 1 went to get my wheel it was
gone The next day Fess' Jones saw
Deevers and the wheel and he told me
about it.
Thursday night about 7:30 O'Clock
me an Fess' whose right name is
Charlie, were standing at the corner
of Eighth and Main streets when along
came Deevers riding my bike. | guess
he. was out taking his first pleasure
ride. I stepped out and grabbed the
wheel by the handle bars and told
Deevers to get off He told me to let
go or he would hit me a lick in the
mouth told him to go ahead and do
So While | was talking to Deevers,
'Fess' went out to hunt policeman,
but he could not find one.
when 'Fess' came back | told
Deevers he must come along with me
to police headquarters. He said all
right but he would ride the wheel
down there. / guess he thought he
would give me the slip. 'Fess' had his
wheel along so he said he would ride
down to headquarters with Deevers.
We started out, me walking alongside
of Deevers and 'Fess' riding on the
other side of him. At Sixth and Main
streets we met policeman and after
/ told him about Deevers swiping my
wheel. "Fess'' and l turned Deeverc
over to the officer. Deevers is now in
the city Jail pretending like he found
the wheel and did not swipe it."
Deevers will be turned over to the
juvenile court. He probably will be
given lecture on the evils of steal
ing and then given another chance"

Henry B. Haager Claims He
Was Assaulted With Ham,
mer by Defendant.
THINKS MEANT ROBBERY.
THE MEN WERE ON A DEAL AND
HAAGER HAD MADE A CARE
LESS DISPLAY OF A LARGE SUM
OF MONEY.

Robert A. Keethler will be tried Sat
urday morning in the city court on a
charge of assault and battery on Hen
ry B. Haager. Keethler was arraign-
ed in the city court this morning and
entered a plea of not guilty and asked
TO have. the hearing of the case post
poned until he could secure an attor-
ney and some witnesses. Acting pros
ecutor Thomas r. Jessup stated to the
court that the assault was a most
vicious one. Keethler started to en-
ter vigorous denial to this statement
but was silenced by the court
Haager states that Keethler assault
ed him with hammer in the old
Schneider carriage works. South Sixth
street, Thursday afternoon with the
purpose of robbing him of large sum
of money Haager had carelessly dis
played. Haager states that his hat
and his arm which he threw up to pro-
tect himself was all that prevented
him from being knocked unconscious
and relieved of his roll
Haager states that Thursday he met
Keethler and that Keethler proposed
buying a pony belonging to Haager,
who is a grocery keeper. Keethler
suggested going into saloon and buy
ing drink. They did so and then
went to the old, tumble-down and
practically deserted carriage shop
where Keethler does some carriage re-
pairing. After talking there a few min
utes they went across the street and
bought another round of drinks. On
returning to the shop the two men got
into an argument and Haager offered
to back his statement with a bet of
$50. Haager states that Keethler then
said, I'll bet you haven't got $50"
Haager then, he states, "careiessly
showed his rolf and offered to bet
that he could produce 5000 more.
Keethler, according to Haager,
pulled out So and offered to bet.
Haager said that he would bet moth
ing less than $50 and, he adds, this
apparently incensed Keethler Haag-
er says that he then sat down on
box and began to look at something
on the floor Il heard Keethler make
a move but l did not look at him."
said Haager. For some unknown
reason | threw up my arm over my
head and just then Keethler struck
me with heavy hammer. My arm
and the hat deadened the blow, which
was still powerful enough to stun
me-" Haager added that before
Keehler could hit him again he had
succeeded in getting out of the shop.
Keethler has not lived here very
long. Since coming here he has made
a living by doing carriage repair work
and horse trading. Haager states that
Keethler confided to him that he had
come here after getting into trouble
at his home "oyer in Ohio by hitting
a. man in the head with a billiard cue.

On September 5, the commission will

almost certain that this Will be in
favor of the Commercial club. as the
commission has already refused recog
milton to the Pennsylvania's petition
against the junction of the two roads.
In case the Pennsylvania railroad re-
fuses to abide by the commissions
ruling of Sept. 5th. the commission
will act as plaintiff to the suit to be
filed in the Wayne circuit court. The
law governing the power of the state
commission states that when the rail-
roads are summoned into court as de-
PENDANTS they can be fined by the
court from $100 to 81 900 for their re-
fusal to interchange freight. These
procee dings can be brought against the
railroad companies as many times as
the commission sees fit.
BY mandamus proceedings the rail-
roads can be brought before the courts
and their objections listened to. If the
court sees fit, it can order the juno
ton of the roads and if the railroads
refuse to abide by the decision, con-
tempt of court proceedings can be filed

change is ordered, can be imprisoned

ways been burdensome one. School
children entering the city schools
September 16. will not have to so to
the superintendent office to secure
their supplies but will go to the book
stores. The old Indiana book law re-
quired the county officers to handle
the books. The book dealers refus-
ed to do so for there was no remun-
Grafton in it for them. The new law
which requires a county dealer in
school books, also provides small
per cent to all those dealers wishing
to handle the school books. Although
the amount is small, it is such as to
Justify book stores in handling the

AS far as known at the present
time there will be no changes in the
text books used by patrons of the
Richmond schools during the coming
winter and for that reason, old school
books can be used much to the saw
ing of parents who have several child

change of text books is always look

not generally favored. The prices on
school books will remain about the
