CHAPTER lI-Continued.

The president followed usage wheI
he said: "If there's no objection, i
will be so ordered. Prepare the bal
lots for a vote on the election of teach
er, Mr.. Secretary"
There was no surprise in view OF
the nomination of Jim Irwin by the
bIarneying Bonner when the Secretary
smOothed out the first ballot, and
read: James e. Irwin, one" But
when the next slip came forth, James
Il. Irwin, two" the board of directors
of the Woodruff Independent district
were stunned at the slowly dawning
knowledge that they had made an
election! Before they had rallied, the
secretary drew from the box the third
and last ballot, and read, James E.
Irwin, three"
President Bronson choked as he an.
nounced the result-choked and stam-
mered. and made very hard weather
of 1t, but he went through with the
motion, as we all run in our grooves.
"The ballot having shown the unanl-
nous election of James E. Irwin, l de-
clare him elected"
He dropped into his chair, while the
secretary, a very methodical man,
drew from his portfolio a contract
duly drawn up save the name and sig
nature. This he calmly filled out, and
passed over to the president, pointing
TO the dotted line. Mr.. Bronson would
have signed his own death-warrant at
that moment, not to mention a per-
fectly legal document, and signed
with Peterson and Bonner looking on
stonily. The secretary signed and
showed the contract over to Jim Ir-
win.
"Sign there" he said.
Jim looked it over, saw the other
signatures, and felt an impulse to
dodge the whole thing. Then he
thought of Jennie W%oodruff's
"Humph p-and he signedl
"Move we adjourn" said Peterson.
"No 'bjection it's so ordered I" said
Mr.. Bronson.
The secretary and Jim went out,
while the directors waited.

and finished lamely! "What for did

"An' wanted him to have wan vote,

"Ay wanted him to have one vote,

And in this wise, Jim became the
teacher in the Woodruff district-all
on account of Jennie Woodruff's

GRAINS O-HIGHER
ON LATE RALLY
Wheat Advances in Response
to Liverpool Upturn,
By United Financial =

By OHtted financial
CHICAGO, Aug. "a late rally,
after a weak and Indifferent opening,
brought strength and higher prices to
grain at the close of the Chicago
Board of Trade today.
Responding to- sharp advance in
Liverpool at the close, wheat rallied
late and the strong undertone resulted
in further gains over the noon ad-
vances. A statement by a leading
eastern grain news agency setting
forth that mills of the country will
have insufficient supplies from the
new crop after seeding requirements
are deducted, also had a bullish effect
on sentiment.
The strength in wheat, high cash
premiums and the selling of 200, 900
bushels of the cash to an eastern com
mission house. aided corn on the up
turn. Weather and crop news re-
manned favorable. Rains were pre-
dicted for the central corn states over
night. Movement of old corn from
farms to market continued on the
increase.
Oats advanced with other grains on
a market devoid of individuality.
Provisions eased off late with hogs
and under some realizing by earlier
buyers.

INQUEST HELD IN
. SHOOTINGO OF MAN
( BY DRY OFFICER
Seth Ward Out on Bond After
Firing Fatal Shot in Raid
at Anderson,

| The coroner's inquest Into the death
of Elisha Northcutt, 55, fatally shot
| by Seth Ward, Federal prohibition
agent, in a raid on Northcutt's place
at Anderson, Wednesday, was held
today at Anderson.
Ward and r. o. Minton, legal Or
rector of the Federal Prohibition De
partment, went to Anderson for the
| inquest.
According to Bert c. Morgan, Fed
eral prohibition director for Indiana,
Wards action was justified.
at was simply case of Seth shoot
| ing Northcutt or Northcutt shooting
Policeman Baker and Ward Morgan
said today after his return from An
derson, where he investigated the
shooting.
las soon as Baker and Ward en-
tered the place, Northcutt clinched
with Baker and drew his gun. Ward
called to Northcutt three times to-
drop the gun, and finally shot wnen
he saw it was a matter Of saving
Bakers life and possibly his own"
Ward was in possession of affidavits
stating that Northcutt had threat
ened to kill any officer of the law
who entered his place.
Northcutt was a former captain of
police Of Anderson. One of the shots.
passed through Northcutt's head, one
through his hand and side and anoth-
er wounded Baker slightly in the
right hand.
According to stories told by Fred
Pettigrew and Lex Bricker, who were
in Northcutt's place when the trou-
BILE started and who said they watched
the fight from the doorway, Ware
opened fire while Baker and North
cult were scuffling, after Northcutt
had insisted that no search be made
without a search warrant. Pettigrew
said Ward answered that he didn't
need a search warrant.
Ward was released on $4,000 bond.
st did not want to shoot, but had
to-" said Ward just before he left
for Anderson. "Northcutt was big,
powerful man. He grappled with
Baker and had him covered with
gun stuck against his side. beat
Northcutt over the head with my gun,
but it had no more effect than If
had been beating the gun against a
wall I called to him to drop his gun
and he refused. shot only when
thought that 1t was necessary TO
save Bakers life"
