CUTSINGER LAND
PURCHASED TODAY
----------
Mr. and Mrs. Enos Porter Will
Give Mill Ground, West of
Harrison, to City. ----------
Whatever is available of the forty thousand dollars Mr. and Mrs. Porter gave for the memorial to their son, will be applied on the purchase price of the Cutsinger ground, and Mr. and Mrs. Porter will give the balance needed.
Both the Teal ground and the Cutsinger ground, purchased today, will be deeded to the city of Shelbyville, and will be the property of the citizens of Shelbyville.
The purchase of the Cutsinger ground means a beautiful plyground in the north part of the town. With this additional ground, the tract will have something more than five acres. It extends to Blue River, and when the swimming pool memorial is constructed and the grounds landscaped, the city will have one of the beauty spots in this section of the state.
The citizens of our city approciate the civic spirit whosn by Mr. and Mrs. Porter, and hope they may long enjoy the beauty, which the money created.
Bids will be opened on the construction of the swimming pool and bath house, next Wednesday. It is expected that the bids will come within the money available and that the contract can be let out that day.
If it is, and the successful contractor can get under way with the construction, the pool and building should be finished about the middle of July.
The project means employment to our local people, and will help take up some of the present slack in the employment ranks.

CRUSHED INTO EARTH
BY A HEAVY ROLLER
----------
Bert Cutsinger Painfully Injured While
Driving Team, On The William Compton Farm
In Jackson Township Yesterday Afternoon
—Hardly Able To Move a Muscle Today
----------
Young Cutsinger had gone to the Compton farm early yesterday morning and had been assisting Mr. Compton throughout the day. During the afternoon he was out in a field driving a team hitched to a roller. The horses became frightened for some unknown cause and, getting beyond his control, swung the roller round and round in a circle. Mr. Cutsinger held on to the lines as long as he could, but was finally forced to abandon the attempt to stop the horses and tried to jump out of harm’s way. He fell underneath the roller, which passed over the right side of his body, crushing him into the soft earth. The horses continued their wild flight down the field and were noticed by several other men who hastened to help young Cutsinger to his feet. He was later taken to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Cutsinger, of Hendricks township. His injuries are still causing him excruciating pain.

Martha A. Cutsinger
has filed a suit in court against her husband, Henry C. Cutsinger, for
divorce, alleging abandonment, failure to provide, etc., as causes for action.
Dick Norris is Mrs. Cutsinger’s attorney and she will doubtless get her
divorce during the present century. The plaintiff in this case is well-known in
the East End of town, where she resides, as Martha A. Evans, the widow of
James Evans, who died several years ago. She was married to defendant
Cutsinger October 10th, 1892, with whom she lived three weeks, when he took
her to her step fathers’ residence, Jerome B. McCall, on the Michigan
Road, on Marcus Mean’s farm, east of Brady’s Station, on the Big Four rail
road, and telling her that he was “going out to get shaved.” He went out and
did not return, that day, nor since; he is probably still on the hunt for a
barber up in the wilds of Moral township.Thursday October 18, 1894
