Adams was convicted on a charge of grand larceny by a jury in the Jay court recently. Adams, together with Gid McCroskey, also of Bryant, were charged with entering and stealing from a store in Portland last spring. McCroskey has not been tried on the charge yet since he was held in the Adams county jail on a charge of kidnapping at the time Adams was tried. McCroskey was acquitted on the kidnapping charge here recently. Adams and McCroskey were charged with kidnapping Angus Butcher, who was also said to be implicated in the Portland store robbery, when the latter turned state’s witness and volunteered certain information, said to be detrimental to Adams and McCroskey. Following the action on the motion for a new trial yesterday, the court sentenced Adams to a term of from one to four years in the state prison at Michigan City. It is said that Adams is preparing to appeal the case to a higher court.

news RACES SUNDAY Montpelier, June 24. —The Entronuse Motorcycle Club of Marion has completed arrangements for the first of a series of motorcycle race meets to be staged this season on the new half mile dirt track at Montpelier, next Sunday, June sth, starting at 2.00 p. in. The program Sunday will include seven events for professional riders of national reputation, the prizes offered being sufficiently large to induce riders from other states, who follow the racing game as a profession. Then- machines are specially built factory racing machines, many of them costing several thousand dollars. The new track at Montpelier is soon destined to be now far and wide as the leading and fastest motorcycle track in the country, it having been built especially for motorcycle races and is under contract of the Entronuso Motorcycle club of Marion for three years. The track is a great piece of engineering being a splendid oval with long, wide turns and short stretches almost a complete circle and has a minimum width of seventy feet. Although started late last fall the track has been completed several weeks and has been in almost daily use for practice. It is beyond doubt the fastest half mile track in the country and the promotors are confident of a new world’s record being established this season. Entries arc coming in rapidly now and the meet Sunday is an assured success. Motorcycle and auto tourists will head toward Montpelier from all over Indiana and adjoining states. The Motorcycle trade papers have given this meet and the new track wide publicity. There is plenty of free parking space for all autoists.

BYALL DAMAGE SUIT BROUGHT TO END TODAY (Continued from page one) the entry should be made as on the last day of the April term of court, which closed on June 10. It was generally believed that there were no errors in the trial which might reverse the case providing it was appealed to the supreme court. If the defendant had appealed the case to the supreme court, it is likey that that court would not have made a decision in the case before the end of at least two years. It is said that the sum of $8,500 will be paid into the office of the clerk of the court within the next few days and turned over to the plaintiff, Mrs. Byall, who is the administratrix of the estate. •— —— COUNCIL WILL MAKE DECISION ON HOSPITAL ■ ■' » i "* •" * ' 1 (Continued from page one) some being of the opinion that the additional appropriation should be made, while others have expressed their opinion against the making of the additional levy.

MONROE FACTORY VERY BUSY NOW Block and Tile Company’s Factory is Running at Full Capacity Monroe, June 24.—The Monroe Block and Tile company at this place is now one of the busiest institutions in this part of the state. The mill is now running to its fullest capacity and Is slowly hut surely coming to the top. Ten men wtth the hustling manager, Mr. Homer Winteregg, comprise the force, all experienced workers. Besides what contracts they have on hand and have filled. Mr. O. F. GilHom, president of the concern, closed a contract Thursday to furnish one million hollow building brick and 700,000 building blocks to a construction company Ideated in Detroit, Mich. The hollow building brick is the latest addition to their various kinds of pro duction and has become very popular with the construction contractors in other states, as representatives are coining here very frequently trying to place contracts tor the entire output of their brick and t’oek products. In conversing with Manager Winteregg, he stated that they would have a run until after the holidays or longer, to complete their contracts now on hand, it is said that this part of northern Indiana has the clay so adapted for hollow brick, that agents call from Toledo, Ohio; Fort Wayne Ind.; Detroit, Mich, and many other places. They state that the clay here is far better for that line of production than any they have yet found elsewhere and are eager to place their contract for large quantities of brick and tile block. Mr. Winteregg informs us that he will put the full force to work in filling the large brick order and expects to have it out at the earliest possible date —barring all delays. With their large new dry sheds they can fill five of their kilns, thus, at all times, being able to burn four kilns at a time. In tills way they will be able to turn out a large quantity of material each week. Mrs. E. S. Christen will leave this evening for Jefferson, Pa., where she will visit with her son, Ellis, who is working there.

A Business Coupe Os Steel Dodge Brothers offer to the business public of America an entirely new principle in Coupe body construction. From framework to window mouldings the body is built of steel. It is the first all-steel closed car ever marketed. This design anticipates every possible requirement of commercial travel. It insures unusual quietness — unusual grace—unusual stamina. It has made it possible to give the Coupe that same lustrous baked-on enamel nmsh for which Dodge Brothers open cars have long been famous. The upholstery is of genuine leather — leather that will wash and wear. The seat is wide and comfortable. Carrying compartments are accessible and spacious. The car is equipped with a heater, dome light, window levers, windshield cleaner, cord tires, Yale door locks, and every other appointment necessary to the owner’s comfort and protection. Built inside and out to withstand the wear and tear of everyday use, it retains the same lightness and beauty of line which you are accustomed to look for in Dodge Brother? cars. It is the Business Coupe which business people the world over have been expecting—from Dodge Brothers. The price ia S9BO f. o. b. Detroit TROS. J.
