WILL STAY IN COUNTY.
Lamphere Case to be Tried at La
Porte,

Unless something arises 10 break
the agreement recently made between
tn attorneys, both for the prosecution
and the defense, in the Lamphere
case. the trial will be held in the cir
cult court of LaPorte county with
Judge John c. Richter sitting as trial
Judge. The next term the circuit
court will convene on Sept. % and
it is thought the case vii, be called
within a few days from the opening
date
Ray Lamphere, the defendant, will
be tired on the six indictments re-
turned by the grand jury which em>
body murder, arson, conspiracy and
the like. The state declares it has
evidence sufficient to convict the man
of either of the counts while the de-
fense announces that it will show
where Lamphere had nothing to- dc
with the operations of Mrs. Guinness.
The defense intimates that it may
even prove an abb.
The trial promises to be gruesome
in many of its details and from the
prominence already given the case it
will likely attract much attention.
Some uncanny scenes will be enact
ed before the jury when the bloAdy
clothes of Andrew Helgeline, the las,
Guinness victim, are brought into the
court room; when other features with
which the coroner an physicians
have had to do are exhibited and
when the many witnesses for both
sides tell weird facts surrounding the
burning of the House of Mystery and
the cremating Of the bodies
Sentiment rs still divided as to
whether or not Mrs. Guinness still
lives or perished in the building with
her children. The many letters re-
ceived from different parts OF the
country telling of seeing the woman
will have much to do in the way OF
evidence and will b. used by the de-
Tense in an effort 10 clear the man

OTIS WICKIZER
WAS UMPIRE
WHO TREATED PLYMOUTH
BOYS WITH SUCH A ROYAL
RECEPTION AT ARGOS
SUNDAY-SEVEN-
TEEN INNING
GAME.

The town of Argos has long cher
ished a grudge against Plymouth.
For years some of the residents of
that town have been planning to
knife their county seat brethren. How
to do it, that was the question. At
last the time, the golden opportunity
was announced by public CT T
throughout the streets of the little
town last week Plymouth was COM
ing to play ball. What would happen
to Plymouth would be "a plenty"
And so the Argos team, with mum,
ber of fans, got together to see how
it could be done. Prospective um-
pires were closely quizzed, threaten
ed and attempted to be bribed Moth
ing doing, no one had the nerve until
DOC" Wickizer was hit upon. He
told the Argos boys that if Plymouth
won Sundays game of base ball it
would be over his dead body. And
so the affair is explained. Anyway
it was awful. For seventeen innings
our Clippers labored against the Ar
gos team, plus, one umpire. The final
score was to 3, in favor OF the um.
pire, who, so he claimed, was the
whole game AS for summary or de-
tails of the game, they would reveal
norhing just ask doc" Wickizer.
How he had the nerve is beyond all
understanding. If Plymouth man
was on first base less than two minu-
tes before the ball arrived. he was
out Out because Doc Wickizer said
so, and Doc Wickizer was the UNI
pire. If an Argos base runner, was
not knocked down midway between
bases, and while yet unconscious, the
umpire, coroner and two other men
called as witnesses while a Plymouth
boy tagged him with the ball, if al
this was not done, then the Argos
man was safe, because doc" Wick
izer said so, and doc" Wickizer was
umpire.
Citizens, laboring men, millionaires
everybody protested some OF the
rankest decisions, to no avail. Doc
Wickizer was the umpire, and Argos
must win the game. Thus it kept up
for seventeen innings, when both
managers agreed to call off the game
on account of darkness.
The Plymouth boys did fine work.

HOLLIS CLERKS RESPONSIBLE
Department. Says They Must Be
Careful in Throwing Pouches.

Railway mail clerks throughout the
country are greatly alarmed over an
announcement by the postoffice de-
partment TO the effect that they will
be held responsible for all damages
to persons and property caused by
careless delivery of mail at catch sta
tions.
The notice is coupled with the ac-
count of a damage case recently tried
by a jury in Ohio and in which the
mail clerk compromised by paying
damages to the amount of $500. The
department declares that not only are
the railroads going to hold the mail
clerks responsible, but that the de-
partment will, in addition, assess a
fine for violation OF the rules for
handling pouches when thrown off OF
moving trains The mail clerks de-
clare that the effort to hold them re-
sponsible is unfair because the gov
ernment has been criminally slow in
providing a safe means of delivery OF
mail from moving trains Tt is claim,
ed that there are number of devices
on the market which make it perfect
ly safe TO throw mail pouch off a
train going at almost any rate OF
speed
The official order OF the railway
mail clerks, therefore, petitions the
department. to take speedy action
toward providing a safe mail catch.

PARTY WILL
STAND SQUARELY
ON COUNTY LOCAL OPTION
PLANK-ELECTION MORE
PRACTICAL THAN RE
MONSTRANCE IN CASE
OF AN ENTIRE
COUNTY.

In the impending campaign the
Republican party in indiana viii
stand squarely on its county local
option plank, against which will be
the brewers combine OF the state ar
rayed with the Democrats to capture
the legislature to do its bidding. In
discussing the proposition IN a con,
servative manner the Indianapolis
Star says:
A curious but almost unnoticed as
pect of the liquor question in Indiana
is the fact that the Democratic pro-
posals contemplate much more vio-
lent and subversive change of our sa-
loon code than Is involved in the Re-
publican program.
f. The Nicholson law and the Moore
remonstrance have given universal
satisfaction. 1t is inconceivable that
the people of Indiana would sanction
direct proposal for their repeal But
their repeal IS just exactly what the
Democratic platform calls for. in its
substitution of elections for remon-
strances in wards and townships
The difference between the remon-
STRANGE practice and a township ward
election practice will be clear to all
upon moments reflection. To be-
gin with, ths saloon code IS operated
outside of politics. Republicans and
Democrats side by side in a neigh
borhood sign the remonstrance, and
that is the end Of it. To do away
with the remonstrance and require an
election would be 10 substitute an ex-
pensive. vexatious and controversial
method for the present unexception-
able arrangement and TO invite, as ex-
perience elsewhere shows, situation
in which the saloon element, by coll
onizing and terrorizing voters, can
force saloons upon a neig1lborhood
whence, under our existing laws, they
have been driven out.
1t cannot too often be emphasized
that the Republican program on the
liquor question forbids any famper-
ing with or impairing of the existing
laws The Nicholson code and the
More remonstrance are to stand as
they are. What is proposed IS a sort
of enabling act by which counties, so
desiring may vote upon local option
as a whole. In the case of ward and
township, it is known that the remoa-
STRANGE is preferable to an election.
nj the case of the entire county, it is
believed that an election is more
practicable than sremonstrance.
We should say that the only pos
sible chance of a Democratic victory
on this issue lies through a failure
of the people to apprehend exactly
what the Democratic proposals mean
the overthrow of the existing sa-
loon code and the substitution of one
in every way more obnoxious and
less effective.
