Jail Breaker Arrested On Charge Os Assault Bluffton, Ind., July 21.—Joe Mercer, 31, who was returned here lust night from Jackson, Mich., to answer to a charge of grand larceny, owes his recapture, more than six months after he broke jail here, to the fact that he committed an attack Wednesday noon upon Gerald Eloy, who had him arrested for assault and buttery, and told the Jackson officers that he was wanted here. Both of the young men formerly lived in Blackford county, Mercer at Montpelier, and Eley nt Hartford City. Mercer says that Eley had been annoying his wife, and failed to heed his warnings, upon successive complaints by Mis. Mercer, and that Wednesday bo knocked Eley down. Ilfs arrest followed. Mercer was accompanied here by his wife, formerly Miss Ina Myers, who will be aged 16 years August 8. and whom he married at Coidwatey, Mich., after his escape here. He had written her wliep in jail here and that he was in a hospital. She says she is willing to forgive him for the past if he continues to make good In the future. He was put under bond of SSOO at Jackson for appearance August 2. but likely will not appear, as he is in jail here, under $2,000 boud. to appear £t the September term of court. He is charged with stealing furs from Ira Bartlett of the south part of this country, last winter. He claims his innocence and says that two young men who disappeared, know about the furs. Frank Seegar, a bootlegger, who broke jail here with Mercer last January 6. still is at large.

Mr. Cross read a letter received from Mr. Weeks yesterday stating that th' highway engineer would be at Gene va on July 26th to survey the pro posed route and establish and build it at once. Everybody for Good Roads No subject, since the pioneer days of old when right-of-ways were secur ed for the railroads which now pass through this county, is of more im portance than the securing of these proposed state trunk lines for this community.
