(SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-SENTINEL) PORTLAND, Ind., August 10.—Following what might be termed a run on the bank for the past several days, the Farmers' State bank, Redkey's second banking institution, closed its doors yesterday, the directors taking this action, it is said, on advice from Deputy State Bank Commissioner Thomas S. Barr, who has been there for the past several days. The directors decided to close the bank until such a time when the consolidation with the other bank—the Bank of Redkey—which was forced to close its doors several weeks ago because of financial difficulties, can be formed. A meeting of the directors of both banks has been called for Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, August 17. The meetings will not be held jointly and the stockholders will then ratify the action of the directors of the banks taken toward consolidation. In Colored Circles (By Sella Smith.) Mr. and Mrs. J.

The approach of the winter months has resulted in no marked increase in coal production in the Indiana coal fields, officials at Terre Haute say, and in the coal industry there are no prospects for a decided improvement in this field, or for that matter in any of the union fields. The bell in the old Miami county courthouse at Peru, which for nearly half a century summoned lawyers to court and announced fires and which was taken down 12 years ago, has been placed on a concrete foundation near the present county building as a relic of older days. Frank Caldwell, age thirty-six, was killed when he came in contact with a high-tension electric wire of the Northern Indiana Power company, west of Tipton.

Of 37 hospitals in Indiana inspected by the American College of Surgeons, 29 or 75.7 per cent met the requirements and have been placed on the approved list, according to Franklin H. Martin, director general of the clinical congress of the college, who attended the hospital conference of the congress in New York city. The new fish hatchery at Avoca, in Lawrence county, will be in full operation next spring, George N. Mannfeld, superintendent of fisheries and game, announced at Indianapolis.

Elva Henderson, who acted as superintendent of construction, has been appointed hatchery superintendent. Six of the defendants in the Gary liquor conspiracy cases, who were given sentences of a year and a day in the federal prison and whose appeals were denied by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, will appeal to the Supreme court, they announced at Gary.

Cherry trees in all parts of Pike county are blooming for a second time this year. In Petersburg many trees are in bloom.

The Michigan road, which is being paved between Shelbyville and New Bethel, is nearly completed, according to officials of the Davis Construction company of Tipton, which has the contract for the work. It is believed that the actual paving of the road will be completed by November 1. Federal agents from Indianapolis operating in Lafayette Wednesday made several arrests under the federal prohibition law. Quantities of home brew were found at each place searched. Those taken in custody include John Snyder, George Snyder, Bruce Kelly, and Edward Morris. Funeral services for Rev. C. H.

Enraged, it is said, because he saw his four-year-old son playing with matches in his home, and wishing to give the child an object lesson that he might not repeat the offense, Albert Lovelace, a barber of Columbus, placed the burning end of his cigar against the child's arm, burning a place as large as a 5-cent piece. The grandmother, Mrs. Florence Lovelace, tried to intercede and Lovelace is alleged to have kicked her from the house. Two charges of assault and battery were filed against him for the attacks, to which he pleaded guilty and was fined $30 on each charge. Indiana farmers marketing their grain through the Indianapolis board of trade during the month of September added $623,810 to their receipts over what they received in September marketing last year, due to the continued advancing prices of grain. Total cash receipts for the grain marketed through the board for the month aggregated $2,752,540, while the 1923 total for the same month was but $2,122,730.
