    A deer, apparently frightened by hunters at the start of the deer hunting season in the county, attempted to leap into an outdoor swimming pool at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Pachynski in Wildwood Park on the south side of Tippecanoe Lake, but plunged through a vinyl cover and netting.

They succeeded in getting the doe into the shallow end of the pool, where it finally leaped out and darted off toward the lake.

    John Erfurt, Warsaw young man, left Germany in 1914 previous to the world war and came to the United States. After nine years in which he did not hear from his parents he recently located them by sending a dollar bill to the police department. In a letter he received a photo of his parents and brothers, stating that the dollar had employed the entire police force of a large city and a detective agency, and after locating them and paying them there was 50 cents left on which they staged a big party, buying cigars, meat and a loaf of bread.
