A. Fl Huffman, superintendent of
the Ingram Lumber Co., and Mr..
Smith. foreman for the company,
drove to Ladysmith on business Mon
day.
Next Saturday evening ut the NJ.

Initiation of candidates. The boys
from Hawkins will be around the
camp fire with their team. One who
ever came in contact with bunch

5. Sharp, the popular merchant of
Bruce, was an Ingram visitor Tues
day,
DR.. Gaillardet and w. Zill made a
flying trip to Weyerhauser Monday
noon.
1t is rumored that DR.. Christianson
who has nude Il great success as Il
logger ut Hawkins, will open an Of
flee at Ingram, in the near future.
The doctor will certainly be a serious
competitor for the Ingram Lumber
Co.
W. w. Dyer of Bruce visited Ing
ram on business Tuesday.
Rev. ID. w. Hubert of Milwaukee,
secretary of the Wisconsin state
home Baptist mission, delivered a
sermon at the Baptist church Mon
day evening. The eloquent minister
took for his text: Jesus was going
about doing good" and heimpressed
on his hearers the power of true
Christian church i'm Il community and
the immense influence of Il Christian
soul going about doing good. The
sermon was certainly a treat for
everyone that had the good fortune
to hear him; but, unfortuna tely. for
some reason or other, the audience
was very limited. 1t is Il pity that,
in a village like Ingram, with over
six hundred inhabitants and four
Christian churches, no more than
fifteen or twenty people would show
enough interest in Christian work or
enough courtesy to even notice the
presence OF such a man as Mr.. HUI
bert in our midst Tuesday evening
Mr.. Hubert spoke at Glen Flora to
still smaller audience. What is the
matter with Ingram and Glen Flora?

takes courage to do right in the face Of
the ma joriiy who are ready to tear you
to pieces for doing so. The bravery
displayed at the battle front, surround
ed by the excitement and glamor of
war, is as nothing compared with the
courage shown when settling the ques-
ton right or wrong in ones own mind.
In your work be cheerful and don't
trouble yourself about what the other
assessors are doing, except to meet
them if you can in neighboring territory
and try and get right Do not be
afraid that your Board of Review will
disagree with you. Place your valua-
ton right, regardless of what they do.

LAMPHERE FOUND
GUILTY Of ARSON
Man Accused of Murder of Mrs.
Belle Guinness and Children Gets
a Compromise Verdict.
Has Been Sentenced to State Prison
for Indeterminate Term Of From
Five to Twenty Years and
Fined $4,000.

Laporte, Ind.-Ray Lamphere,
charged with the murder of Mrs.
Belle Guinness and her three children

April 2S, was on Thursday evening
found guilty of arson by the jury,
which had the case since $3.50 o'clock

Judge Richter had sentenced the de.
PENDANT to the state prison at Micht-
gan City for an indeterminate term of
from two to twenty.one years, fined
Inn $1,000, and DISTINGUISHED him for
five years.
Attorney Worden, for the defense,
said Thursday night that motion for
a new trial would be made, and,
should 1t be refused, an appeal to the
Indiana supreme court would follow.
Should the case be carried to the
supreme court and sent back for re-
trial, Lamphere could not be tried on
any charge in this particular case eX'
cepting arson, tho crime of which he
was convicted. However, in an event
Of that kind the state would elect to
try him on one of the indictments,
probably the Helgelcn case.
Members of the jury are reticent
in discussing what occurred in the
jury room, but enough has been learn
ed to know that but for two men,
bers Lamphere would have been found
guilty of murder or manslaughter, the
verdict being a compromise. Sew
eral members of the jury, 1t IS un'
Jerstood, held out long for murder in
the first degree, with life sentence.
So far as could be learned, none was
for hanging.
