ASSAULT CASE

Judgment for $500 which was given
George Hamilton, a cripple, in the
Henry county circuit court recently
against A. c. Underhill, who was fined
in police court for an attack made on
Hamilton, has been set aside and the
case will be retired.
Hamilton's condition was such that
he could not work except at a solicit

tack, it is alleged he was unable to
continue even that work and he and
his family went to the county poor

81 YEARS ELAPSE
SINCE MORTON DIED
Indiana's War Governor Was
Born and Reared in Wayne
County.

Sunday, November 1, marked the
thirty-first anniversary of the death
of Oliver Perry Morton, known as the
greatest war governor Of the nation,
and the best political organizer of his
time.
Oliver Perry Morton was a native
Of Wayne county and was born at
the old town of Salisbury, three miles
west of Richmond, August 4, 1923. The
house in which he was born was de-
stroyed in the decay Of Salisbury, but
his own home where he lived after
his marriage, is still standing just
west of Centerville.
Following several years at Miami
University at Oxford, he opened a law
office in Centerville. In 1851 he was
elected Governor on the new Republi-
can ticket, and his manner of getting
men and money for the Union army
caused his fame to spread all over the
country He was reelected in 1864
and after that served two terms in the
national senate.
He died in Indianapolis, November
1, 1877, following an attack of paraly-
sis.

POOR PEOPLE OF NEW YORK
JUST GUESS THEY'LL STARVE

JUST GUESS THEY'LL STARVE
New York, Aug. 14.-The poverty
stricken East Side today is exper-
fencing real danger of starvation.
Food prices, boosted because of the
real or fancied effect of the European
war are cutting down the meats of
thousands of families.
Starving" was the exact word
used by Mulberry street shopkeeper
to describe the condition of many of
his customers. To them a raise of
two cents in dried beans means no
beans.
They can't afford it. Today East
Side bread loaves were reduced one
and one-half ounces in weight. That
small difference spells tragedy for
many East Side families.
A grocer ON grand street told of
woman who supported an invalid
husband and a baby on So week.
They used to live mostly on
bread" he said. "They never had
meat. But now 1 don't know how
they'll make the small loaves go
round.
Just why the European war should
affect the price of milk is not clear,
yet East Side shops were quoting it
half a cent higher. There were many
babies in the crowded tenements to-
day whose cries were induced by the
pangs of hunger.
Their parents could not afford the
usual amount of milk.
A little eating place on Columbia
street raised the price of meats from
% to 25 cents today. An observer
noted that there were a score or more
who left when they saw the rise of
two cents. Either they went hungry
or they spent their % cents for less
than a real meal.

crowded one Avenue A grocery today
