LOSS OF POLICY For Life Insurance Carried by Late Blaine Campbell Throws Suspicion ON MARION WOMAN With Whom He Tried to Elope—Woman Searched —Young Boy Held. Geneva. Ind.. Nov. IS Mrs. Stephen Mendenhall was detained and searched here yesterday before being allowed to proceed to her home in Marion. At one time the Mendenhall woman and Blaine Campbell attempted to elope and wore thwarted by the woman's husband, Stepen Mendenhall, who hud them arrowed in Portland. Blaine Cuinpboii died at the home of his father-in-law, Joseph Eikrotc, a' mile or two west of Geneva Sunday morning at 4 o'clock from typhoid fever and at 12 o'i|<H'k she camo to tlo house. No suspicion was attached to her and she got Crawford Kiser, n cousin of the dead mnn. to procure some of her letters to the dc'ceased. When she secured the letter she came to Geneva intending to take the 3:50 < ar to Bluffton and return to her home in Marion. After her departure from the Eli: rote home the family became suspicious and a search was made, when an insurance policy belonging to Blaine (Campbell was found to lie missing, which renlted in her detention and' rearch by the police here but the policy was not found on her person. Crawford Kiser was later arrested on an affidavit charging petit larceny, sworn to by Jacob Eikrote. It developed that while «c< uring' the Teffef* lor the woman he had discovered a revolver and cartridges, which he appropriated In a preliminary hearing liefore Justice of the Peace Dickerson, he pleaded guilty and was held to the juvenile court at Decatur, as he is only fifteen years of age.

“DECATUR CAN AND WILL”

SPLENDID BILL AT LYRIC. A splendid throe reel photo play will be the offering at the popular Lyric thoiuer tonight. A combination of society and western comedy dramas will be the offering. "The Heart of a Pool" Is a society dramd that is away from the bouton path of tills type of! photo plays, with Its beautiful scenes and its mngnilicont costumes it makes it one of the most beautiful pictures i produced in many months, it is a picture that is well worth while. "Hi. Last Bet" is a sensational comedy drama and will be one of the features ol the evening's entertainment. A drama of the wild and wooly western type is "May and Decombi-r." produced witli the red skin and long-haired actors of the far off golden west. This wll no doubt appeal to the lovers of this class of photo plays. Matinees are given daily at the Lyric ami are growing very popular with tito patrons of this popular little palace of amusement. It is a good place to run in and spend a pleasant hour during the afternoon. o PROVED A HERO Fire Scare at Northwestern Caused Stampede Among Students. A COLLEGE BOY Carried Two Women Under Ether Down Fire Escape —Neptune’s Roommate. When Greg Neptune, son of Dr. J. Q Neptutie of this city, who Is a dental student at Northwestern university. Evanston. 111., returm-d to his college Rafurilay after being gone’ onTY an ' hour or so. he found that his roommate, Mr. Si-hmidt. had Iwcome a hero. His opportunity to distinguish himself came through a fire scare In the College Although the smoke was worse than the fire, there was of course, at Its Inspection, nothing to! Indicate that there was no real danger I and the panic and stampede that en-| sued were terrible. There were at the I time two women under ether for work in the dental department. The women were, of course helpless, and as there seemed to be great danger from t the tire, Mr Schntidt carried the wo-| men down the fire escap* to u place | of safety. It develop<-d that the fire was gotten 1 under control and no damage was done. Mr. Schmidt’s act, however, was one of real heroism, and the local papers contained a big account of the same. o PASTRY SALE. The "Yellow Ribbon" section of the 1 Y. P. A. of the Evangelical church will i have a pastry sale Saturday from lit a. m. to 2 p. m. as the gas office. Many | goo<l things will be on sale.

A LABOR-SAVING Will be the New Dockets Which are Planned for the Adams Circuit Court. GREATER NUMBER Os Counties Already Have Them—Clerk Will Look at Bluffton Books. Circuit Court Clerk Ferdinand Lleoke Is planning to take a trip to Bluffton in the near future to inspect the now dockets which have been used by tho <Uui there for some time, us ho is contemplating securing tho same syntfim for use here. Th" new system is used in the greater number of counties and is a great j saving of labor. As Is necessary witli the present system of books, new dockets arc made with each now term of court requiring tho writing of the caption of all the cases on a clean new section of tho docket, in regular order, even though there has been no notation of minutes by the court during the term. The new’ system is similar to the loose leaf system Each case is given a separate page and when the case is disposed of tho shoot is slipped out land filed away, thus leaving tho reI mainder In the hook, until they are - dis posed of. In this way, all the mlr . utos relating to tho case are on on* ; shoot, and the caption Is written but i once. A margin is also left for notation of the page in the order book j in which the entry Is made, thus the ' transferring to the Issue book, and tho subsequent order Itook notation is ulso don* away with.
