After an hours deliberation the jury
trying the case of George Vandenbosch

NEW TRACTION
LINES TO CELINA
Stirring Country to West of Us,
Which Is Planning Big
Things for Future,
Portland Ind.) sun, June 2i.l

- - hhNAa AAAaHf tHhAl ~ AAN @AHI
Upon the routes selected by the two
traction lines that are now under pro-
gress Of reconstruction through Jay coun-
ty, or the possible extension OF the
Muncie and Portland traction line, de-
pends the organization and establish
ment of two new banks in the county,
so says rumors that are now being
scattered broadcast over the east tier
oftOwnshIps, however, nothing definite
can be learned Of the rumored organi-
zation and as both are dependent upon
the expenditure Of vast sums of money
necessitated by the construction Of
traction lines the promoters of which
would receive no direct benefits from
the banking Institutions, II is safe 10
predict that IL will be some time before
the banks are opened for business.
One of the proposed banks, II organ
lied, will be located at New COrydOn
and the other at SalamOnia. At New
Corydon the proposition of organizing
the bank is dependent solely upon the
extension of the b. G.. q Il. line now in
operation between Button and Geneva,
which is said will be built as far east as
New Corydon before the coming fall,
however, surveyors are now at work
surveying two routes under considera-
ton one by way of Bryant towards this
city and the other by way of New Cory
don in the direction of Celina, Ohio.
At SalamOnia the rumor has II that
the bank will be organized provided
the Ft. Wayne and Springfield Railway
company, now operating traction line
between Ft. Wayne and Decatur, is ex-
tended from its present terminus
through SalamOnia en- route to Spring
field, Ohio.
In both New Corydon and Salamonia,
1t Is said, local residents who own large
farms or have other business interests
and would be benefited by the estab-
lishment of a bank, will be associated
with one or the other enterprises and
the stock, according to the plans now
under consideration, will be subscribed
for by residents of the county.
The latest dope concerning the pro-
posed extension of the three traction
lines already mentioned, has sprung up
since the survey of the route from Ge-
neva to Bryant was ordered by the b.
G. IL Il. line. 1t is now presumed by
several, who have hopes of the lines be-
ing extended but have no direct means
of finding out in advance the plans of
the promoters of the line, that the NJ.
B. IL Il. will be built this year as far as
Bryant and next year will be brought
on to this city and connect with the
Muncie and Portland line which in
time will be built east to Celina, making
there with the NJ. B. 81 E.
line for this city in which case the con-
Meeting link between Eastern Indiana
and Western Ohio will have been made.

Celina won loosely played and one
sided contest from Delphos last Sunday
ten to three. The Kids were rugged out
in their new uniforms for the first time
and made a neat appearance on the
diamond, but the big crowd was dis
appointed in the game.
Delphos was unable to do any dam
age to Fredericks slants, while the Kids
laid on heavy on Stalkamp, the big
visiting south paw, pounding him freely
whenever they got down to business.
Betz opened things for the locals in
the second with a deep drive to right
which netted him two bases. He went
to third on an out and scored on a deep
fly to left. In the third McKirnan
opened with single and stole second
making a pretty slide to the sack.
WennIng hit a high line drive to third
and Stalkamp fumbled. The little
back stop then made pretty attempt
to sacrifice on a high one, and laid such
slow one down the third base line
that it couldn't be handled, the Rabbit
scoring. Konk stole second and Ellis
followed with a clean one to right
scoring Hobby and McComb. Ellis
was cut off trying to steal second.
Myers and Fredericks famed.
In the sixth the boys made it three
more-Betz singled, Fredericks was
safe on an error by Hummer and both
scored when Burris singled to right.
Burris got second on passed ball, was
sacrificed to third and scored on an out.
Again in the seventh it went three
more and might have gone dozen if
the boys had played ball. Hobby
started it by dropping one safe over
short. McCOmb followed suit, putting
Wenning on third. Ellis sacrificed and
was saved by a tumble of Seuvers,
Wenning scoring. Myers laid a slow
one in the infield and an attempt to
catch the little back stop failed, the
ball going into the crowd and Ellis
also scoring. Myers went to sleep and
was caught trying to steal home on a
short throw to second. Betz walked
and Burris got hit in the ribs, but
Fredericks and Kistler famed.
The visitors got their first one in the
fourth. Stalkamp singled, but was
doubled up moment later when an
attempt to sacrifice went into little
fly to Ellis. Sewers singled. Then
fT6ubTlCkB let llb uTSl OH6 get away ny
fumbling hot liner. He followed this
with a hard drop which went bit low
and Konk got it on the shins. Nc
Comb, however, recovered the ball and
attempted to head of Sewers, who had
started for third, but he threw low to
Ellis, the ball going to the Outfield and
the visitor scoring.
Fredericks tossed them up after this
while the boys went to laying off, and
it was only piece of luck that the
visitors didn't run in more than they
did. In the eighth G. Powell led off
with clean two bagger to deep right.
He was advanced on a single by Helm
kamp, but was thrown out on an at
tempt to steal home on McComb's fake
throw to Betz to catch Helmkamp.
Kollsmith flew out to McKirnan. l..
Stalkamp got base on balls. Konk
again attempted the short throw to
Betz, but the throw was low, and be-
lore George got Strengthened up the
damage was done. r. Stalkamp then
dropped little fly in Burris Golfers,
but he fumbled il. Sewers rolled out
TO Fredericks: Score:

The village council held a short ses-
sion last Tuesday night, all members
being present and Mayor Kenney pre-
siding. Following the regular routine
of opening the meeting, Fire Chief
Weisman spoke 10 council in regard
the water consumption of the town,
stating that he believed council should
make an order compelling the water
consumers 10 discontinue using water
for sprinkling after an alarm Of FIRE had
been sent In. lie said that the engineer
at the plant had told him that the
pumps were kept going all day to keep
the stand pipe filled during the summer
months, but even then the water was
used faster than the pumps could sup
ply IL. None OF the dads seemed wor-
ried over the state of affairs, and the
matter was passed by without consid-
Grafton.
Councilman Beiersdorfer of the build
ing committee, then brought up the
subject OF supplying heat for the city
building next winter. Owing to the
scarcity of gas he said the town could
not depend upon il for fuel and the
fiues in the different parts of the build
ing were in such condition that no
other kind of fuel could be burned
with safety. The matter was turned
over to the building committee for in
vestigation.

Sale Of Them viii Continue, but
Plan TO Prevent Abuse Has
Been Adopted.

The Mercer County Agricultural So
ciety, through Secretary VininR, has
issued the following self-explanatory
notice to the public:
The time for the great Banner Fair
is but a short time of,
We desire to say few words In re-
gard 70 family tickets. There are but
few fairs in Ohio that can meet their
expenses when family tickets are used.
Mercer county is one of the successful
ones and we hope TO be able 20 CON
unue them, and can If they are not
abused.
Thousands for Benermenfs
Our expenses this year will be in
creased by several thousand dollars.
The great demand for stalls has com
PEELED us TO build new barn for
horses. Then we have secured an air
ship, automobile races and Increased
the premiums in almost everv line.
We must have the money TO meet this.
Our premiums alone will amount 10
about S9,5OO.OO. We hope 20 Increase
our gate receipts, since everything this
year Will be Of the best, and promises
are given to break all previous records.
Stop, Look and Listen
The family ticket used will admit
man and wife and all children under
IA years. 1t will entitle the holder TO
leave the grounds twice each dav. But
now, stop, look and listen! II Won
leave the ground during the day and
desire to return, you must on leaving
the ground, hand your ticket 10 the
gate-keeper and have it punched. other
wise 1t will not re-admit you. Don't
forget this, for this rule will be strict
ly adhered to.
Samples of Abuse of Tickets
We know of one instance where a
party, after entering the grounds, bor-
rowed four family tickets, went on the
outside and gave them to four other
families who entered on them, thus Sc
curing the admission of nine families
on five tickets. This is done in hun
dreds of cases.
We receive at our gates only about
one-half as much money as a great
many other Ohio fairs that have a
much smaller attendance.
No Excuse Will Go
1t is our desire, then, to impress up
on the public that they must get their
tickets punched when leaving the
grounds.
Don't say you did not know il, for
this will be printed on your ticket and
will be printed in ali the papers in
Mercer County from now until the fair.
Don't say you did not see it. This is
evidence that you do not read a county
paper.
Don't say you forgot it, this shows
Don't say the Fair Board is trying to
hold you up. They are not. We are
trying to stop the abuse of the family
ticket and thus save its life.
In other words, GET YOUR TICK
EFT PUNCHED ON LEAVING THE
GROUNDS, or it will not read init that
lay. And no excuse will go.
