W. Lenx and to a division of the residents of Maple Sugar Township in Jasper County into two factions. An indictment was returned yesterday against Foreman by the Grand Jury of Jasper County, charging him with assault with intent to commit great bodily injury upon Lenx. According to the testimony the ques- tion of Ann's’age was the subject of discussion at a meeting of the Maple Sugar Township Debating Club. The argument became heated and it is al- leged Foreman viclously pummeled Lenx. Friends of the two men have attempted to adjust the matter, but without success. from Pommer-Eilers will make a direct saving of not less than $100. In all cases the saving will be much greater.
