Wasn't Slaughter of Our InnO-
cents Awful

The Mercelinas received the worst
drubbing ever given to them on their
home floor last night when the Find
lay Morescots defeated them by the
score of 49 to IL.
The first point for the Mercelinas was
made by Bruno on free throw after a
few minutes of hard playing. The first
half was full of rough playing and finally
ended with score of % to 7.
The second half was rougher than the
first and both Creeden and Hoyng were
laid out at different times. Maehlman
and Schock were unable to take part in
the game, the former having bad knee
the latter being sick. Their places were
filled by Schultz and Creeden. Schultz
was unable to outjump his man, which
made it bad for the Mercelinas. The
crowd was not as large as usual.

Articles of incorporation are being pre-

twenty subscribers have been secured to
take stock in the new venture and an or

the papers of incorporation are received
from the state. 1t is expected that all
the local players will be signed up and
some good material secured to fill the
few remaining vacancies. 1t is very
likely the team will be under the man

GROTHJANS GET
ENCOURAGEMENT

The members of the medical staff Of
St. Elizabeth hospital are taking a keen
interest in Harold Grothjan, who has
been patient in the hospital since Feb
ruary 2l. He is suffering from menin-
gifts and is paralysized from his hips
down. His home is in Celina, Ohio and
he is preparing to enter the priesthood.
While taking the classical course at St.
Joseph's College at Rensselaer, this wint-
er he contracted severe cold which was
followed by an attack of the grip. Then
meningitis set in and his condition be-
came serious. He was brought to the
hospital here to obtain the best nursing
and medical attention available. The
unusual thing about the case is the at
tack of meningitis that followed the
grip. Nearly every physician who has
visited the hospital has visited him and
all deeply interested in his condition.
While the case is serious, yet it is not
without hope and everything possible is
being done for the young man. .-Lafay-

WEAKNESS FOR
HIS AFFINITY
Gets Horace Grimm Behind the
Bars, and Efforts TO Get Him
Out Are UnaVaIIIng.

Horace Grimm, the St. Marys grocer,
who was arrested last December at the
home of Kittie Brooks, on East Warren
street, on charge of adultery and re-
leased on probation, was hauled before
Probate Judge Raudabaugh last Satur-
day, charged with violating the condi-
tions of his parole and remanded to Jail
to serve the time of his suspended sem
tence and suspended fine. He is still
boarding at the Hotel de Fisher despite
the fact that hurried effort was made
so that he would not have to spend the
Sabbath behind the bars.

after being caught with the Brooks wo-
man in her house on Warren street.
plead guilty before Probate Judge Raud-
abaugh to a charge of adultery and was
fined 500 and costs and sentenced to
three months in Jail.
Judge Raudabaugh suspended half the
fine and the Jail sentence upon condition
that Grimm stay away from the woman.
Grimm is married and he promised the
court he would not associate with his
affinity or any other woman of question
able repute. 1t seems he couldn't keep
his word, and only few weeks after
making his promise he struck the to-
boggan.
When hauled before the court Grimm
emphatically denied all the charges
Judge Raudabaagh laid before him, but
after finding that the court had the
goods on him and his bluff wouldn't
work he quieted down and began to
beg off. E.s.3
Saturday evening Albert A. Grimm,
the wayward mans father, through At
torneys TouVelle, of this city, and Arm
strong, of Lima, filed habeas corpus
proceedings in the Common Pleas Court
for his release from the custody of Sheriff
Fisher.
The proceedings have not been heard,
and it was authoritatively stated yester-
day afternoon that the matter would not
likely come up for hearing.
Grimm's wife left him when he was
arrested last December and has, it is
said, begun proceedings for suit in di-
vorce. An effort, however, is being made
to get her to return to her unfaithful
husband and again take up the threads
of life anew, and if she consents to this
it is intimated that Judge Raudabaugh
will give him one more trial. In the
light of past events, it would seems he
is past rejenerating. One thing Grimm
has found out, and it may prove turn
ing point, is that Judge Raudabaugh
plays to no favorite in the enforcement
of the court DEGREES.

STUCK IN THE PIE
Prof. Raudabaugh Enters Race
for County Judge, Making
No. 2 to Date.

I. F. Raudabaugh, educator, attorney,
civil engineer, miller and Jeffersonian
Democrat has announced himself in one
of the public prints as a candidate for
County Common Pleas Judge. Mr..
Raudabaugh has gained considerable no
toriety in the county through his very
numerous cases in court on his own ac-
count, either seeking damages or injunc-
tions where public improvements touch
ed his holdings and to escape the cost
society of progressive human beings
at times find necessary to assess for the
general welfare. OF course this stand
pat, retrograde movement of backing
and bucking is no doubt guaranteed by
the constitution and Blackstone, yet we
would dislike to see this made the es-
tablished policy and any attempt to get
off the calf-path made more dificults 1t
is not idea to plant anywhere, and par
tlcularly where the multitude must seek
guidance and wisdom. We know that
walks must be constructed and sewers
built and we know they must commence
somewhere and end somewhere, that
they must be paid for and that we must
give in to the public veal. Then we like
a fellow who can take his medicine and
grin and come again. This may have
no bearing on this announcement and
again it may. But standpatism and OBJ
struction doesn't appeal to us.
