WALTERS TELLS ABOUT ATTACK BY HIGHWAYMEN K'ONTINrF.II FIIIIM rAGK ONll) finger, went through his brief case, took Ids coat, hat and revolver, and then made the remark that "dead men teU no tales.” With that, one of the bandits hit him on the forehead ami ou the back of the head with the butt end of the big revolver, while the other man struck him in the stomach, knocking him unconscious. Mr. Walters does not remember whet tier lie rolled down the incline into the ditch or if the men threw hiln into the ditch. About 10:30 o'clock p. m.. Decatur time, Mr. Walters regained consciousness and was able to climb out of the ditch. He was covered with mud and water, his head being the only part of his body not submerged. He was able to drive back to Paulding ajid, when he reached the hotel, fainted. The police and sheriff of Paulding county were notified and the search for the bandits started. The officers found Mr. Walters's coat aud revolver down the road, but did not pick up his hat. They were unable to apprehend the highway bandits. It is believed that the men drove into Fort Wayne. Mr. Walters stated that he could easily identify the men. He said that he had noticed them in Antwerp. 0., a few days before, attending a street carnival. A warrant is out for their arrest. Mr? Walters said they robbed him of SB3 in cash that he knew he carried and possibly $77 more, which he collected from a customer. He is not sure if he collected the amount, but thinks that he did and says he will not know for sure until the company gets in touch with the customer and finds out if the man lias a receipt for the amount. Physicians have not found any internal injuries and believe that Mr. Walters will get along nicely. He does not suffer from a headache, the only complaint about his condtiion being from a sick stomach and a pain in the back. He will be confined to his bed for a few days. VIOLENCE TAKES TOLL OF FIFTEEN LIVES IN INDIANA (COXTIYUED FROM I’XGE ONE) son, were slightly injured when their automobile overturned during a storm near Anderson. Omer C. Deselms, 60, an optometrist, ended his life by taking poison in his office at Logansport. Failing bnsiness, whicij caused despondency, was given as the cause for the suicide. Howard Taylor, 37, who worked near Fort Wayne for a power company, was killed when he came in contact with an electrically charged wire. Wesley Spencer, 52, Boone county farmer, shot himself to death, police said. Jay Nicholson, 22. committed suicide near Fort Wayne, police announced. Mrs. Amanda Blanche. Michigantown, ended her life with poison, according to police reports. Seven others in Indianapolis suffered slight injuries in minor traffic accidents. Mrs. Mary Brown, 28, negress, was slightly wounded in the neck by a bullet fired by her husband, William Brown, 37, negro, easily today. Brown and his wife engaged in a pistol duel when he found her walking with another man. Brown fled after the shooting. Irene Scott, 32, Indiaanpolis, was cut about the face by a hatchet dur- , ing an altercation with Cornelius Simmons, 62.

j tv ; ■ FIVE DROWN AT ST.MARYS.OHIG St. Marys, Ohio. July 23 Five p< sons three women and two men. w< v drowned in Lake St Marys, near Idlewild park, seven miles west ot hen Saturday altetnoon, when the boat in which they were riding capsized in about 20 feet of water, nearly a mile from shore. The dead are Celesta Klein; Fewn Marie Klein, 27; Mrs. Henry Hotnen: Willia Corl, 30. aud Henry Homan. All resided at .Middletown. Ohio. The five persons, together with another man. were riding in a motor boat when a rain storm came up. The witing on the motor became wet and the motor refused to run. Au attempt was made to row the boat to shore, but the oars were broken. The storm yrew worse ami in the confusion the boat capsized. One mau swam to shore, after a futile atempt to rescue other members of the pa;ty. o — PROPOSED ROUND ' TRIP FLIGHT TO U. S. UNDER WAY (CONTINUED FHOM FACE ONE) Fregate as it descended. They had been awaiting the plane all night. With them were ('apt. Frank T. Courtnew and E. W. Hosmer, wealthy Can adians, who are awaiting here to resume their seaplane flight to New York. it was humored that La Fregate arlived with but one of its two motors functioning. This could not be eon firmed, as Paris ami his companions went at once alurard the A’ille D ys to rest. Two hours after their arrival, mechanics were refuelling the plane. It wajs believed that the biplane will resume its flight as soon as weather londtiions ate good, and will go as had been planned byway of Bermuda, where another French gunboat is waiting as a base ship. Lieutenant Paris is one of the youngest of the French air heroes. He won fame and citations when he was sent to the French war in Moro co against the Riffs as a leader of the Goliath bombardment squadron. The French ministry of Marine is backing the present flight. Originally it had been planned to send two seaplanes, the second to lie commanded by Commandant Rene Guilbaud. The latter, however, was sent to tire relief of Hie Nobile expedition and is lost with the Roald Amundsen expedi-. tion. Paris had made careful preparations. He took his machine on several test flights over France. Last week he was ordered to make the tiip and flew to Brest. When he received favorable weather reports yesterday afternoon he immediately ordered his plane fueled, received an official farewell from Vice Admiral Vavasseur and then with his two companions set forth.* He flew steadily and regularly, made reports of the success of the flight. The messages were laconic — merely stating all was well ami that good speed fol ward was being made. Lieutenant Paris does not intend to , waste much time in Horta. He will ictuel from p French navy tanker ! here ami then as soon as he receives favorable reports will leave again. The entire flight from Brest to the , United States will be about 4.450 I miles.
