The Shelby Republican
Thursday April 10, 1924
----------
Mrs. Emma Slifer has filed a complaint for a divorce against
Ellis
Slifer in the Shelby circuit Court. Billman and Shepard are her attorneys.
The wife charges that her husband was jealous and quarreled with her, and that
he ruined her business as a boarding house keeper, causing her boarders to
leave. Mrs. Slifer formerly lived at No. 203 East Hendricks street, but recently
moved to Indianapolis. The couple was married August 4, 1923, and separated
October 4, 1923.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE
----------
Brandywine Creek Polluted With Poisonous
Matter From a Strawboard Plant.
----------
Mr. Ellis Slifer,
who was yesterday and to-day on business in Van Buren township, states that
Brandywine Creek is full of dead fish, many of them weighing four and five
pounds, while the water is polluted with poisonous matter from a strawboard
works, located in Hancock county and near which the creek given passes.
Mr. Slifer states that from the farm of the Oldham Mills a wagon load of dead
fish could be taken at present. The authorities should take steps at once
to investigate this outrage and to see that it does not again occur. As a
result of this refuse being allowed to poison the water of this stream there has
been more fish killed, doubtless, than would be caught with a hook and line out
of the same stream the next ten years, yet this corporation will perhaps be
permitted to go unmolested, and should one be caught fishing with a pole and
line during the months of May and June he is subject to arrest and fine.May 19, 1899

Ellis Slifer says he is going to desert
the democrats. They made wheat worth fifty cents per bushel and hay worth $15 per ton. He says poor
people have to eat flour and horses hay. Cleveland was also the fault of the wheat in Shelby county averaging
twenty bushels per acre, when if the republicans had of been in power it would have averaged, perhaps, ten.Thursday, September 4, 1893
