PIONEER IS DEAD | AT NEW CORYDON George Martin Aged 91, One of the Well Known Men | of Jay County OLD AGE IS CAUSE Has Relatives and Friends inAdams County-Funeral Services Tomorrow. George Martin, one of the oldest residents of Jay county, passed away Saturday night at 12:30 o’clock at his home in New Corydon, succumbing to the infirmities of old age and a complication of diseases which he had fought for the last fifteen years. He was not only one of Jay counties oldest citizens but had made his j home in that county ever since he I came to America when but a boy. He was born in Petersburg, Germany, and with his parents came to this country and settled on a farm in Knoll township, Jay county where he has spent the entire remainder of I his life. He was over 91 years old at the time of his death and his part-1 ' ing takes from the community a re-1 spected citizen. For years and years] he had been in the retail business ini New Corydon, with a son, they conducting a general store and at one] time they also had a branch store at| Chattanooga, Ohio. He was still on the farm, however, at the outbreak of the Civil war and was to have gone to the service, when he had the misfortune to have his foot amputated at the ankle while gathering the harvest. With the aid of an artificial limb, he managed to .get about, iu g<wul shape and for many years not a day passed but that his cheerful smile was greeted by I the customers at his store in NewCorydon. He leaves six children, two sons , and four daughters, Henry Martin, of Portland, auditor of Jay county, Fred ■ Martin of Portland, Mrs. Katherine Muth of Geneva. Lizzie Saxman of New Corydon.

The sawmill at Bluffton owed by Frank McDowell, former Decatur resident, was burned to the ground Saturday morning at 4:30 o’clock, and the loss is estimated by Mr. McDowell to be about $5,000. No insurance whatever, was carried on the property. The origin of the fire is not known, and much of the building was destroyed before the blaze was discovered. Employes of the mill, living near th<e scene, were not aware of the fire until the alarm had been turned in by a Bluffton resident, who lived more than a square away. The mill had been doing a rushing business in recent months, and a few weeks ago new machinery had been ordered. This was placed in the mill on Friday, and was also lost in the blaze. Mr. McDowell is undecided as to whether he will rebuild and equip the mill or not. It has kept thirty men employed most of the time during the business- depression, and its loss will be keenly felt by the industrial city. Fourteen years ago a mill was burned on the same site, but was owned by other parties. »— WITH MRS.

Russell Barrone, admitted leader of the men who last June 9 attempted to rob the Farmers State bank at Preble, this morning in the Adam circuit court plead guilty to bo:n in the affidavit charging hi.a vith assault and battery with intent to rob, and automobile banditry. The plea of guilty came after a consultation with his attorney, L. C. DeVoss, and his father. William Barrone. in the judge’s private office in the court house. The crime for which Barrone will now pay the extreme penalty was committed on last Jjjne 9, when he, in company with Donald McDaniel, had forced Eugene Cole, a Fort Wayne taxicab driver, to take them to Preble. In the attempt to rob the bank and get away with the bank’s funds, Barrone shot and seriously wounded Cashier Clarence Smith, and slightly injured Miss Edna Werling, assistant ! cashier of the bank. The men be--1 came frightened when the shot rang i out and they left the bank without getting any of the cash. They were 1 captured within a few hours in the Werling woods north and east of Preble, Sergeant John Godfrey of the Fort Wayne police force, making the arrest. Barrone and McDaniel had been confined in the Adams county jail since the attempted robbery. Cole was admitted to bail within a week and two wekes ago was acquitted of any connection with the crime after the evidence had been submitted to the court and jury, before arguments were made, the motion being made by the state that the court instruct tho jurors to return a verdict in favor of the defendant. Donald McDaniels, for whom considerable sympathy is expressed by Adams county people, decided to stand trial, with the hope that the jury might return a verdict of guilty on the first count only, that of assault and battery with intent to roll, thus shortening his prison sentence by several years. His trial was begun at 10:43 today, the work on empanelling a jury starting at that time. Judge Mnran -announced to the attorneys that sentence would be withheld for the present, the court not stating his purpose, but it is believed that he will sentence the man at the close of the McDaniel trial. The penalty provided by the statutes, however, is ten to twenty-five years in the state’s prison. Today was the first appearance in court of any of Barrone’s relatives, his father coming from Sturgis. Mich. Detective Peter Junk and Sergeant John Godfrey of Fort Wayne were also here this morning. Eugene Cole who drove the taxicab to Preble, came down from Fort Wayne this afternoon to testify for the state in the trial of McDaniel. L. C. DeVoss is defending McDaniel, on appointment of the court, and Prosecutor E. B. Lenhart is being assisted by Dore B. Erwin, who is attorney for the Preble bank. Twelve jurors were accepted at 11:30 o’clock, and court was adjour o ’ mil 1 o'clock, when the taking ->! , es, . >ny was begun. The men win ! "ill decide McDaniel's fate are: Peter E. Fugate, George Inelchen, Martin Reef, Robert E. Doty, Waite? Whittenbarger, Samuel Teeter, Orvai Tinkham. Fred Kohler, John Mosure, James Duff, Chris Beery, Joe Krick. Eugene Cole, Fort Wayne taxi driver, who drove the Ford onr, carrying the men to Preble, was the first witness called He will be followed by Sergeant Godfrey, Peter Junk, of the Fort Wayne police force; Cashier Smith, Assistant Cashier Edna Werling, and others who were upon the scene immediately following the at(Continued on page six)
