HAD AN EYE REMOVED.
Wells County Farmer Undergoes Surgical Operation.
Bluffton, Ind., Nov. 29. -- George Croy, a farmer of Nottingham township, living near Petroleum, was today operated on and an eye removed as a result of an injury to the member several weeks ago. While engaged in hulling clover about eight weeks ago, Mr. Croy had a piece of chaff to lodge in his left eye, causing him some worry, but was not at the time considered serious. Further trouble developed, however, and a complication of conditions arose, until it was likely to cause the loss of the other eye, and an operation was decided upon as the only means of saving the injured member.
OBITUARY.
Zanesville, Ind., Nov. 29. -- Jacob Keyser, son of Henry and Catherine Keyser, was born June 23, 1845; departed this life at his home in Zanesville, Nov. 25, 1912, aged 67 years, 5 months and 2 days. February 23, 1868, he was married to Adaline Seamon by Rev. Dreak. Thirteen children -- five sons and eight daughters -- were born of this union. His careful training as a father is indicated in the act that not one of this large number of children departed from the path of rectitude which the father trod before them. The eight daughters and three sons, with the widow, survive him, and are keenly sensible of their loss. Four of the children were not privileged to be present at the funeral. Those absent ones are Elgie and Elsie, in Panama; Florence and Jesse, in Texas. In the death of Mr. Keyser the community loses one of its best citizens, the church one of its strongest pillars, friends one of their tried companions, and the family a most excellent husband and loving fat!
her. His funeral was attended by a large number of sympathizing friends. He was, in death, triumphant; he caught the fragrance of paradise, his vision rested on the shining shore which lies beyond the sunset, and entered the portals with the words of victory on his trembling lips. He was buried from St. John's church in Wells county and laid to rest in the cemetery near by.

PETER FRANTZ DIES AT AGE OF EIGHTY-TWO
Pioneer of Wells County Succumbs; Bluffton Elks Install Officers; Other News Items.
BLUFFTON, Ind., April 5. Peter Frantz, aged 82, a revered pioneer of Liberty township, died yesterday at his home northwest of Liberty Center after a lingering illness. The development of pneumonia within the last fortnight was the immediate cause of his death.
Mr. Frantz was born in Ohio, and came to Wells county in 1853 (?). He was married in 1860 (?) to Mary Jane First and they lived together for fifty-five years, their union being broken by the death of the wife three years ago. They were the parents of nine children, all of whom are living, namely, Winfield, Jacob, George, John, Daniel, James and Charles Frantz, Mrs. Floyd Redding and Mrs. Rufus Stinson. Mr. Frantz served from 1861 to 1865 as a member of the first Indiana, and was a member of the Lew Dailey post G. A. R. of this city.
He was an estensive land owner and at one time held the title to 78_ (?) acres of the county's best farm land. At the time of his death, however, he owned only the home farm of 160 acres.
The funeral will be held at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the Liberty Union church at 2 o'clock and the interment will be in the Woodlawn cemetery, Warren.
--:--:--
The Bluffton lodge of Elks last evening installed officers for the ensuing year as follows: George Mock, exalted ruler; Paul Palater, esteemed leading knight; Roy Stafford, esteemed loyal knight; Lloyd A. Sleppy, esteemed lecturing knight; F. R. Curtis, tyler; J. L. Snyder, trustee, and W. H. Eichhorn, delegate to grand lodge. The lodge also offered the use of the lodge room temporarily to the Moose, who were burned out in the fire at the Grand theatre yesterday.
A marriage license was issued here this afternoon to John W. Liddy, farmer, of Adams county, son of Fred Liddy, and Miss Grace Marie French, daughter of Eli French. The license was the first to be issued by Miss Loraine Markley, the new deputy county clerk.
The fire at the Grand theatre on Thursday resulted in a loss of over $10,000 (?) it was learned to-day, and this sum was only partially covered by insurance. The loss was as follows: Charles Westrock, Fort Wayne, $5,000; Gaiety Supply company, $4,000; Gaiety Theatre company, $1,600 (?); Bluffton lodge of Moose, $1,000. These figures do not include the destruction of ten reels of motion picture film of the picture "Intolerance." Mr. Westrick, the owner of the building, had $7,000 insurance, and he stated this morning that he will begin immediately to remodel the building. The Gaiety Theatre company will operate the remodeled structure and will install the newest equipment in the way of a lamp house and projecting machine. The Moose were fully protected by insurance and the loss of the Gaiety Theatre company was partially covered. The loss of the Gaiety Supply company was total as Mr. Joe Boomerschiem, the owner of the company, carried no insurance.
The Wells County Farmers' Co-operative association organized among the stock raisers of the county to pool their purchases of stock food through a purchasing agent, was launched in a meeting at the court house last evening with seventeen members. The rolls of the association are open to any farmer of the county and the scope of the organization will probably be extended to include the co-operative purchase of other commodities besides stock fee. W. H. Settle is chairman, Herman Lesh secretary, and Frank Markley purchasing agent.
F. Elfinger, a well known G. A. R. man submitted to an operation at St. Joseph's hospital at Fort Wayne this afternoon for the removal of a cataract from one eye. He has been at Fort Wayne for some time at the home of his son, Joe Elfinger, preparing for operation.
Mrs. Olive Lewis, of Richmond, will address the women of Wells county at the public library on next Wednesday under the auspices of the franchise league on "Patriotism and the Franchise."

(By Kist News Bureau.)
BLUFFTON, Ind., July 20. -- The three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shiveley, living on the John Markley farm, three miles north of Markle, was drowned this morning in a large horse trough.

LITTLE TOWN OF UNIONDALE STRONG ON AMUSEMENTS.
(By Kist News Bureau.)
BLUFFTON, Ind., July 20. -- Uniondale, in the west part of Wells county, on the Erie and C., B. & C. railways, is getting strong on amusements. The little town gave one of the most successful Fourth of July celebrations ever pulled off in this part of the country, and now is going into the racing business. Saturday afternoon the sport of kings will consist of four class races, which will be topped off with a running race. A half mile track has been built on the Jonathan Brickley farm.
EXPLAINED WHY GIRL WAS SENT TO POOR FARM.
(By Kist News Bureau.)
BLUFFTON, Ind., July 20. -- When Mrs. Rachel Falk died in this city about three years ago, she left an imbecile daughter, along with some city property. The property was not worth much and was mortgaged. In her will she left the real estate to the Methodist church, with the understanding that her daughter should be provided for by the church. This the church, as a business organization, refused to do, but the girl has been looked after by individual members. A week ago the daughter was sent to the poor farm, she to have the rent from the house to pay her expense. She was not placed in the county house as a poor person but her expenses are to be paid. Not knowing the inside of the case, certain parties in the west part of town have been making very uncomplimentary remarks about the membership of the church, until one of the members who has been interesting himself in seeing after the girl's welfare carded the local paper to-day telling full particulars.

CAPTAIN STANLEY ALLEN, Officer of the Day
PAINT HOUSE YELLOW.
BLUFFTON, Ind., June 29. -- When day dawned this morning it looked upon a set of yellow-streaked buildings on the George Essner farm, east of Tocsin, in Lancaster township, this county. Streaks of yellow paint adorned the house, barn, garage and every other building on the farm, and the fence also was painted yellow in front of the house, and yellow paint adorned the large windows of the house. Essner is a wealthy farmer and had bought so sparingly of W. S. S. stamps that some of the people of his community proclaimed him a slacker, and this word in yellow as among the new ornaments on his barn this morning.
WELLS COUNTY REACHES WAR SAVINGS QUOTA
Has Undoubtedly Gone Above Assigned Goal; News of Bluffton
BLUFFTON, Ind., June 29. -- Wells county early to-day, following reports from meetings held in every district in the county last night, was reported safely "over the top" for its full quota of war savings stamps.

Six out of nine townships also over-subscribed, making up a with a surplus shortages in Lancaster, Chester and Jackson townships. This county was the first in the Eighth district to report her full quota of stamps pledged and was one of the first nine counties in the state to "go over the top." Assisting County Chairman Lesh were Campaign Manager J. F. Decker, City Chairman J. F. Hartle and committees in eleven city districts and in every school district in the county.

Dwight Maddux, a local machinist, is home from Detroit, to recuperate from an attack of poisoning. He has been employed as a tester of liberty motors at the Packard plant and with eleven other testers employed on government orders developed poisoning after eating a lunch bought from a stranger at the noon hour, it having been the custom to buy lunches from stands near the grounds. It is now believed the workmen were made sick to delay work on the government orders. Their employers gave orders that the workmen are not to buy lunches in that way in the future.
Cassius Graham, aged five years, a son of Charles Graham, a blacksmith while playing with an ax, accidentally cut off one of his toes.

Levi Heller, aged 75, to-day filed suit for divorce from Matilda Heller, alleging cruel treatment. He alleges that he has been a dutiful husband, but the defendant falsely accused him of intimacy with other women. He recites that he has learned that he is the fifth husband of the defendant, and that two of her former husbands secured divorces. Among other things he says she constantly nagged at him to move with her to her former home in Parker, Ind., although she had agreed to come here to live when she married him.

THE COURT NEWS
SECHLER LIKED DUCATS; WOULDN'T CLOTHE WIFE
John Sechler, formerly of Uniondale, Wells county, is a man of unusual habits, his wife alleged in her complaint for divorce filed yesterday. Unlike most husbands who are sued for divorce, John put his money in a bank and kept it there. When she asked him for any with which to buy clothes, he clung to his ducats and told her to get busy and earn some money to get them herself. Also, since their marriage, he has not shown her the courtesies due a wife, she charges. In addition to the divorce she asks $1,000 of these hoarded funds, a restraining order to prevent his drawing money from two local banks, or selling property in Uniondale and also to prevent his molesting her at her rooms in the Bank block. They were married November 3, 1907, and separated Monday. Hans C. Meland is her attorney.
