COURTHOUSE NEWS Frank Touhey Discharged from the Jeffersonville Reformatory THERE FOR FORGERY He Has Been, Out on Parole Since April 1, 1908

Clerk Haefling has received the proper credentials from David C. Peyton, superintendent of the Jefferson- I ville reformatory, which fully and fin-, ally discharges Frank Touhey from that institution. Touhey was sent there February 18, 1904, and was paroled April 1, 1908, and now comes his final discharge. He was sent there for forgery, he having forged a check for several hundred dollars and secured the money on the check, he afterward being apprehended, tried in the Adams circuit court and sent to the reformatory for two to fourteen years. Since being paroled he has lived with his wife and family near Warren, where he has been free from any other law violations, he has in fact been leading an exemplary life, fie was at the time the forgery was committeed a young man and perhaps easily influenced into the evil ways that led to his downfall. He is well known here and where he lived for many years during the early part’ of his life, he still retains the friendship of many people, and they will be glad to know that he has been discharged and that he is doing well.

WELL KNOWN HERE Adams Express Company Messenger Dead at Richmond ENJOYED LONG LIFE And Has Passed Through Decatur Each Day Until Recently

J. W. Taylor, Mte of Richmond, who until six weeks ago passed through Decatur twice each twentyfour hours, his capacity being as an express messenger, has died and thus grief in its utmost poignancy has been caused his many admirers along the route of the G. R. & I. Shortly after the construction of the G. R. & I. railroad, Mr. Taylor accepted a position as messenger for the United States Express company and was in their employ for several years. He later identified himself with the Adams Express company and since that until six weeks ago he has come through Decatur daily as messenger for that company. The deceased was compelled to retire as messenger six weeks ago on account of his advanced age, and since then until his illness he has worked in the Richmond office. He was a favorite along the route and made hundreds of acquaintances in Decatur during the years he has traveled through this city. A few weeks ago, the messengers and agents of the G. R. & L railroad purchased for Mr. Taylor a beautiful gold headed cane in token of their friendship, but unfortunately he was permitted to use it but a few’ times.

THE PEORIA HOTEL Dick Townsend Will Make His Hotel Still Larger and better HAS NEW OWNERS Large Block in the Hotel Building Has Been Sold According to a story printed in the Peoria, Illinois, Herald-Transcript, a large block of the stock owned in theNational Hotel building has been purchased by several business men, and that great improvements will be made in the building, and that the hotel will be enlarged and radically

improved. Dick Townsend who has leased and is giving Peoria the best hotel that the enterprising city ever had, will be given a continued lease by the new owners, and he too, will cut his belt in making the National still greater. It may be changed and run upon the European plan, at any rate these is no doubt about Dick Townsend making it the best and most popular hotel in that part of the country. The new owners seem anxious that the particular part of the city where the National is located shall also be the popular part of the city, and between Dick and the new owners, there should be no question of success. Since going to Peoria Mr. Townsend has gotten back into his old form, and is showing the people there how a good hotel is managed. He is a genuine success in the business, and by his methods and extreme popularity, there is no chance of failing. -■ o SOCIETY COLUMN (Continued from page 2.) amusements attendant were funny and a good time was had. Refreshments were served. The Waste R Club is holding its meeting with Miss Alma Watts at Monmouth. Miss Fannie McConnel of this city Is in attendance.
