DREDGING OF
RIVER SHOWS
0
RAPID PROGRESS
OVER ONE LINEAL MILE HAS
BEEN COMPLETED IN
WORK ON YELLOW
RIVER
Total of 41,300 Cubic Yard3 of Earth
Have Been Removed Lifted
Bridge Away on Thanksgiv
ing Day.
Progress on the work of dredging
Yellow river, is being effected with
greater dispatch, than was anticipat
ed, either by those who left the con
tract for the work, or by those who
are executing the task. Slightly over
ne lineal mile of the river's be!
has already been completely dredged
since the starting of the work, on
November 9th. Approximately 41,
."100 cubic jards of earth, has been
taken from the bed of the river,
within this mile. An average, ex
cavation of seven feet in depth, "s
made in the river's lottoni, whicn
extends to a width of fifty-five feet,
at the bottom. The dredge is locat
ed at a point tdight I v over sc-n
itiles east of Plymouth and ai the
rate f progress now being made, the
dredge will reach the city wilhin
eig.K months ,and will comp'elo The
cnT:;r route in fifteen. mon !.. is t tie
estimate made by County Surveyor
Perry J. Trover who has supervision
o'-vr the execution of the immense
ork.
The fire under the boiler cf the
great dredge, is never allowed to bo
come extinguished, and in order to
cheat winter .and the coming freeze
of the river, as much as possible, the
large crane, and . bucket are never
still. Day and night .without pause
the dredge and its gang is at work.
The outfit has an eleetrical plant of
its own,-which illuminates the sur
roundings sufficiently to carry on the
werk at night. A gang of twelve men
is employed, six on each shift, work
ing twelve hours each. The d redete
U in charge of AY. A Schultz of Mil
waukee, a member of the dredging
firm, which has the contract to widen
deepen and straighten Yellow river,
for eleven miles of its course, from
the point eight miles up stream .to
three miles below Plymouth.
Change River's Coarse.
The first change in the course f
the river, will be commenced durinsr
the latter part of this week. This cut
is known as tlie Nunemaker Cut,
and will consist in shuting the course
of the stream across the ends of a
"U" shaped lend. Instead of flow
ing around the bend, the river will
be made to cut across the ends. As a
result all of the land enclosed in the
bend, besides the old bed of the
river itself, will be reclaimed for
farming proposes, as the old bed will
be drained by the deeper bed in the
new coarse. The Nunemaker Cut.
will consist of a lineal cut cf 1200
feet, and will necessitate an enorm
ous excavation of earth, as the ?iew
river led will be laid seven feet low
er than the -present te, and as stated
above, will be fifty-five' feet wide, at
the bottom. It is estimated that this
cut will require somewhat over two
weeks. There are two or three more
such cuts, to be made in the course
of the Yellow River dredge.
Lift Bridge Off Rests .
A wonderful sight might have been
witnessed at the scene of the dredge
on Thanksgiving day. when a feat f
engineering skilly was executed by
the dredge. The sixty-five foot,
steel bridge, which sranned the river
at that point, was lifted bodily from
its abuttements, swung around, aid
deposited upon the bank of the rirer
This sfre, of the steel bridge in mid
air, with several workmen standing
on the structure to preserve its ba
'lar.ee, was a novel one. and served
to show the power, size and effective
ness cf the great dredce. The bridge
was lound to the beam of the dredge
bv steel eaHes, men were stationed
along the floor of the bridge .and at
the word, the beam was raised. T.hc
bridge, which weighs twelve tons,
was lifted easily from its abutte
ments. swung around and placed
lengthwise en the shore of thf ri-er.
The bridge had to be removec in or
der to let the dredge pas down the
river. After the river had been
widened to the required diamentions
at this point, the trtdge was found
to be too short to span the river and
the steel structure is still reposing
on the bank of the river, seven miles
east of town. This brid is a fami
liar sight to the hoys of the city,
many of whom have reaped f f skat
ing up to the seven-mile bridge.

til the first of the year and will not

Wheat in Very Fair Condition
A number of farmers when asked
the question today, stated that wheat
would go into the winter in very fair
condition, especially that which is
free from the ravages of the Hessian
fly. AA'here the wheat was not hurt
in the fall by the fly, it has held its
owif remarkably well and if nothing
happens from now on, will turn out
a good crop. Compared with last
winter, the wheat is in good condi
tion, and we all rememler the ex
cellence of last year's crop.

d by Judge Bernetha ,to be the foIc
iiirviving heir, to the estate of Emma

Ä Ft. AYayne. formerly of this city,
.v!;o represented the comely young
vcmau -in her unique case. The en! ire
;torv, with all of the evidence as to
ler identification, was published in

iff in the case, never knew who, or
vhfre her mother was, how she was
eared by a step mother ,and the
inul Juration of her mother, after the
'atter's death at Culver a few months
igo. Judge Bernetha rubd that Mrs.
V.nmins was the daughter of Emma
.ord, by a former marriage .and
lamed her as heir to the estate. At

he final settlements are made, is not
nown. Two reports have been
nadi? by Attorneys Hess of Plymouth

Mie estate, but these have never been
approved by the court. It is possi
ble that other litigation may follow

bat she was the rightful heir to the
estate.

CIRCUIT COURT
FOUR SERIOUS CASES SET FOR
TRIAL BEFORE MARSHALL
COUNTY PETIT
JURY
Ex-Trustee James Schroeder Hear
ing tip Wednesday Edwards Bur
glar Case Thursday, and
Lemert Case Friday.
This week is State's week in the
circuit court. Four criminal cases
were set for trial before jurv, all of
which are of serious nature. The
case of State of Indiana versus
Merle Xifong, for disturbing a public
meeting was set for trial Tuesday
which case was to be the first jury
trial of the term". Xifong however
changed his mind about standing
trial, and appeared before Judge
Bernetha Monday afternoon and en
tered a plea of guiltv to the offense
and was fined $5.00 , and costs,
amounting to $.0.00.
AA'ednesday morning the case of ex
trustee James M. Schroeder of Tyner
charged with assault and battery
with intent to kill, will be begun.
Seliroeder is charged with murder
ously assaulting his twenty-three
year old son, Remus, with a pitch
fork. The victim of the attack was
already a cripple, having lost one
ana in an accident before, and in the
assault the other arm was badly
fractured by the enraged father.
The attack was said to have been un
provoked .and resulted from a mis
interpretation of a remark, alledged
o have been made by Remus
Schroeder, when his father spoke to
him, in the stable. , In the prelimi
nary hearing held at Tyner, Schroed
rr was bound over to circuit court,
to answer the charge of intent to
kill. At the preliminary 'hearing,
testimony disclosed that the elder
Schroeder had to be dragged from
the prostrate form of his son, ,by a
relative who chanced to be present. "
Burghr Own Lawyer.
Even of more interest will be the
case of I awrenet Edwards ,who is a
prisoner in the local jail charged
witli hurirlirizing the residence of
Dr. H. P. Preston during the absence
of that family from the city.
Edwards was captured by sheriff
A'oreis after the house containing the
burglars had been surrondtd ,and
Kd wards and his accomplice broke
away and ran. Voreis gave chance
to Edwards 'before Pernetha Edwards
waived the right of attorney for de
fence, pleaded not guilty, and said
that he would act as his own attor
ney. He asked for copies of papers
in the case .and displayed a fami
liarity with methods of courts. The
incident of a prisoner defending him
self on a criminal charge, has never
been pa railed in the local court .and
the case will attract wide interest.
Local attorneys are curious to Fee
what manner of defence the burglar
lawver will present
Finally on Friday ,the case of
State of Indiana in its relation to
Unth May Lemert, versus Andrew
Petterweil, fer lastardy, will come to
trial. This case has been continued

Hardly a term of the local eourt is
finished without one or more criminal
actions from Teegarden. Two bur
gin rs were shot and killed in trat
:lae?. numerous cases of blackmail
as.-ault and lattery -caes, disturb
ance of puhlic meetings etc., have
found their wav into the Marshall
circuit court. Fights and brawls are
