FROM NEW MEXICO.
Former Plymouth Girl Tells of
Good Crops in Western
Land.

Editor Tribune:
Enclosed find check for Trib-
une which pays up our subscrip-
ton, / believe. Perhaps you
would be interested in a few
words about Our home, etc. This
year our crops were very goo |,
considering the late rains. We
will have enough feed for our
three horses, COWS, pigs and
chickens, which comprises our
live stock, besides being able to
sell 15 or 20 tons of cane and lots
OF corn, beans, and potatoes. We
had only one and a half acre of
potatoes and the way they are
coming out look for at least $50
bushels. Now that is going some,
is it not?
A big county fair was held here
few weeks ago, and we won
first prize on the best dozen of
sugar ibeets, and they were every
bit as good as those raised on IL
rigated ground. During the fair a
contest was conducted, to deter
mine the most popular lady. 1t
dwindled down to one Spanish
girl, and one American girl. Talk
about $4,000 bills, they were very
much in evidence for the last FIVE
minutes OF the voting. The num-
Der of votes ran way up into the
hundreds of thousands, and the
American girl won by less than
90 votes.
Tell the Plymouth people who
are thinking of coming West, to
locate around here. We are the
only representatives from Ply
mouth, although Indiana has
many former residents here,
mostly from around Columbia
City, Auburn, Warsaw and Ft.
Wayne.
1t is being talked of bringing
irrigation here-if they do, our
fortune is made. We enjoy our
home here, and are quite con-
tented with it. Regards to all of
our. old friends.

ties and townships of the state
as well as that OF the state, as a
means of acquainting the taxpay-
ers with the avenues through
which all public money is ex-
pended. This is the first time in
the history of the state that such

of calls have been received at the

collected by Mr.. Peetz. was
found in Perry county, where the

Solicitor Numerically Beats
Horse From the William Or
mond Livery Barn in Drive
Yesterday.
ANIMAL WAS A
MASS OF BRUISES
Justice v. P. Kirk Heard Plea of
Guilty and Assessed Maximum
Fine of $25 and Costs-Says
Horse Was Slow.

A case of cruelty to animals,
which is very rare in this city,
was heard before Justice of the
Peace V. P. Kirk Thursday night
The offender was O. E. Tarbox.
OF South Bend. 1t was said by
persons claiming to know of the
man, that his true name is Tar
bell. He has been canvassing
the country in the vicinity of Ply
mouth selling aliases. For the
past week or more, he has been
driving out of this city daily, with
livery rigs. Thursday night he re-
turned with Joe" a horse from
the barn OF William Ormond.
When the horse was unhitched.
it was found to be in very bad
condition from terrible abuse.
The animal was cut and welted
over its entire body from whip
lashes. Besides this, the horse
had been wounded in the rear
quarters by bing prodded with a
sharp stick, or other pointed ap-
Dliance, being cut open, and
bleeding where SO wounded. The
proprietor of the barn swore out
a warrant against the solicitor,
charging cruelty to animals. JUS
tice Kirk took a look at the horse
and when Tarbox pleaded guilty
to the charge, he assessed the
maximum fine of $25 and costs,
amounting to $34.95, which the
solicitor paid, with the only de-
Tense that the "oId nag was no
good, and would not go fast
enough" The horse is a faithful
animal, and is pronounced a good
horse by many who have driven
it. The solicitor left here Friday
morning for South Bend, seeking
new or old, fields to conquer. This
makes two book agents disposed
OF in this city today, let the good
work continue.

mayor to welcome them, etc. etc.,

EXPLOSION WAS HEARD
TWO BLOCKS AWAY
Occurred in Apartments of Ira
Lower Up Town Thursday
Morning--Falling Glass Injuries
Girl-Lad Gets Bruises.

The down town district in the
vicinity of the postofice, was
alarmed by heavy explosion, oc-
curing at lis o'clock Thursday
morning in the apartments occu-
pied by the family of Ira Lower,
over the postoffice.f Spectators
who rushed to the street, heard a
crash OF glass Immediately fol-
the explosion, and SAW
flames issuing from window IN
the rear of the first suite OF rooms
ever the postofice. Postmaster
]. A. Yockey rushed upstairs, and
I'm a small room, in the rear OF
the apartments, found a small
two burner gasoline stove in
flames. He seized the burning
stove and hurled it through a
window to the street below,
where it spent its flames. The
force of the explosion had shat
tered three large windows in the
rooms, one in the extreme front
of the apartments. A piece OF
glass falling from the front win
dow, struck Gladys Hines, the
small daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Terry Hines who was returning
from school, and inflicted bad
cash over the right temple. She
was taken to the Office of DIR.
Stephens. where her wound was
dressed, being found not serious.
Leaky Stove-Match.
The cause of the explosion,
which was plainly heard as far as
LaPorte street, was leaky gas
oline stove, and match-which
was the cause of the destruction
of the Corse and Glass restaurant,
three weeks ago. The offender
this time, was Patrick Barry, aged
22, who is visiting with the fam
lily of Ira Lower, his home being
at Trenton, Pa. A small gasoline
stove, ON which the cooking had
been done, was in a small room
in the rear of the apartments. Phe
stove had been leaking gasoline,
which was smelled by the young
man. He investigated the leak
and sought to burn off the drip
ping gasoline by igniting it with
a match. The gasoline had vapor-
lied sufficiently to fill the room
with an explosive mixture, which
needed only the proper ignition
to cause the heavy explosion
which followed. Young Barry
was not burned. but suffered
bruises on the legs and back,
caused by the conclusion. Mrs.
Lizzie Hines, a servant who was
in the rooms at the time. was so
badly frightened. that she could
tell nothing about the explosion.

The election of A. R.

The election of A. r.
Clizbe as councilman-at-
large, means that the elec-
trio light franchise and
contract will have to be
lived up to, in the next
four years, a condition
which has never existed in
the history of the electric
light plant in Plymouth,
before. Until a few weeks
ago, the present contractor
c. D. Snoeberger, had nev-
er given bond, to protect
the city from damages, a
bond which was required
in the franchise now held.
Many other infractions and
violations have been over
looked, by this and prev
ious councils, such as the
installation of a duplicate
plant ETC., which was never
done, although required in
the franchise.
The contract recently CIV
EN- Snoeberger was for FIVE
years-the term of the new
council is for only four
years.
If the Democrat is look
ing ahead in the interests
of Snoeberger as it has
done in the past, it might
be suggested that there is
a Democratic candidate for
councilman, who will also
see that the electric light
contract is lived up to in
the next four years, should
he be elected. The Demo
crat should quietly (not in
its colu,nns) put a gentle
quietus on this mans
chances, which no doubt,
with the aid of the Repub-
lican voters, will be done.
