“high balls." listened ♦© th« matchless Jim and the unpopular Robinson, laughed over the little wooden gun souvenirs and strutted their stuff, all of which after all doesn't amount to much so far as rendering actual service to the people of Indiana. They discovered much trouble of their own and offered nothing of benefit except a few generalities. Hartford City will represent this region Wn the state basketball tournament, having with comparative ease captured that right in the tournament held at Fort Wayne Saturday, when the Airdales defeated Ossian and Huntington. The boys from Blackford county have played consistently good ball this season and will have to be reckoned with at Indianapolis. They have earned their title and Decatur and Adams county tans and players join in extending congratulations for what they have and best wishes for what is to come. Go out and capture the title Airdales. The Commodores of this city arc at Fort Wayne this afternoon and evening to take part in the Catholic school tourney for this district. The winner of which will take part in the national tournament in Chicago next week. The locals have a fighting aggrepation which when clicking is hard to beat and their many boosters here are hoping they will come through with a victory that will prepare them to go far in the big show. In the past this school has attracted much attention and on two or three occasions have gone to ftte semi-finals. Here's hopins; they brine home the bacon again. The controversy between Al Feeney and Pleas Grenlee, if there is one, is probably a misunderstanding in which each has some argument. Mr. Feeney is a high grade official who has the confidence of the public. Mr. Greenlee has the unpleasant and always thankless it»b of handing out patronage. No on that the police organization should not be organized on a non-partisan basis which however does not bar a good Democrat from having a post on the force. We believe these boys will arrange their own affairs in a satisfactory manner and that much of the publicity has been put out by those desirous of creating discord in the Democratic pinty ranks. it took but an hour and lour minutes for the jury in the famous Pierpont case at Lima, Ohio, to return a verdict of guilty with the electric chair as the punishment for the bandit. His own admissions of crime were sufficient to brand him as a desparate criminal and his surley attitude on the witness stand certainly did not meet approval of those who were to decide his fate. His companions are equally liable, if proven guilty, and the sooner these men are punished to the limit, that much sooner will this nation dispose of the crime wave. This is no time for silly sentiment. The conditions are serious and making heroes of these men who shoot to kill and don’t care what tlie results are, is about the worst citzenship that can be evidenced. Lima and Allen county are to be commended. —: o ———

I would like to express my views in the ablest way possible. John Dillinger is known as a notorious and dangerous criminal and I think the public will agree with me. in the first place he should never have been paroled, instead hts sentence should have been extended about ten years on good behavior and general principles. lx>ok at the expense of chasing him continuously. several lives have been taken by ids gang. Although they put u lot of bankers money in circulation. that never henetitted any one only the members of his gang and 1 doubt very much that it ever benefitted them a great deal This Dillinger takes all laws in his own hands and does as he pleases. Everybody breathed a sigh of relief when he was caught without any blood shed.' 1 doubt whether that can be accomplished again, If it were it would be a miracle. He was brought, back from (Arizona in an airplane, and was given a grand reception at the Chicago air port, greeted by thousands unpeople, and guarded by an army of machine gunners. I do not know whether they had a brass band out. there or not. they should have had and played his favorite song, ‘‘The Last Round Up." He wars transported to Crown Point in the style of a kirxg. He marched at the head of the procession into that impenetrabte Hotel Holley, and that was supposes! to be the end of all trouble as far as Johnny was concerned. He stood condemned of many a crime in the eye of the public as well'as the big officials down there. Now if he was known to have committed those crimes why should he be held in jail all winter until he got tired of confinement? The sole reason of that was brought about by his shyster lawyers. They were not ready, and were granted all the time they wanted until arrangements were completed for his escape. Now those lawyers are ready but the prosecutor and judge are not ready now to try Johnny, so please give them more time. Those court officials made a serious blunder, they should nave put Johnny under some woman probation officer —in case he did not behave .-he could correct him. Mary Kinder was transported back from the west and after she had rested up a bit was turned loose, and she went right down to see and talk to Johnny. Now if she was not guilty of anything they should have left her out in that hick town. Dillinger had plenty of help OU the outside and no doubt had help on the in side of the jail. He did not break jail he just walked out and the whole caboodle of jailors led the way, quite a contrast from his entrance into that jail. This time Johnny walked at the rear of the procession, because he was master of ceremonies. 1 see they are going to charge him with a terrible crime of taking an automobile and a brave jailor out over the state) line. Well perhaps he did not know! where the state line was. There should have been road markers placed there, and perhaps it would have been o. k with the public if he had taken that main guy Blunkity Blunk across a dozen state lines. Dillinger should have marched the entire bunch of jailors and machine gunners down to the court house. I thing the prosecutor feels slighted that his good old pal should not come up and bid him goodhy. No doubt he would have contributed liberally toward Johnny’s farewell fund. The other toys sure did well when the hat was passed. Those machine gunners made their money easy and can afford to donate some of 'heir surplus for such a good cause. Now for Dillinger to borrow Mrs. Holley’s car, was just a little emergency case, as you know Johnny s car being miles away and him being Confined so long he may have been a bit sore in the knees and did not like to walk. And it being Johnny’s custom he had to furnish transportation for his nigger valet and his chauffeur and also a special auto mechanic, and besides it would be tiresome to carry his little wooden pistol and the machine gun they presented him with, and besides he no doubt had a date with Mary Kinder that night and Johnny doesn’t like to bresk such an important date. We have entirely too many laws, but we lack a specialist which might have prevented this confusion. There should to a law pass•ed to prohibit a prisoner from making those ghastly little wooden pistols, and when they did make one then they should send in a troun of Boy Scouts to take the pistol away from them before they have a chance to tirighteu all those jailors and machine gunners out of

their wits. t Just think of the humiliation that] wis brought upon the crowns of all; those special machine gunners and | jailors and even the sheriff to be | sent into the washroom in the middle of the forenoon when no doubt they had all washed their faces and necks flc the morning before breakfast. Well such were orders and all gladly obeyed. Do you remember dear readers seeing those pictures in the papers last January wb e n Dillinger was brought to the Crown Point jaii? Those gieat big he men squatting behind machine guns, my how big they felt, boy, oh toy. that sure was a grand and glorious feeling, and the lady sheriff and also that jovial warm hearted prosecutor with his arm of law resting upon Johnnies shoulder, great picture of great men. No doubt their heads swelled to an enormous size and likely all had to buy larger hats to accommodate their domes. But since Johnny departed I’ll wager their) domes have shrunken to such an | extent that those hats will have to I be discarded. There is just one serious offense I; committed by Dillinger, he checked out of Hotel Holley too hastely and forgot to settle his account with the land lady for room and I ; board. But no doubt he can send ) that in as soon as he can pult’off a couple of good paying jobs. He holds a good paying profession and no doubt will make good, had those guards and gunners had a little; 'more cash in their pockets Johnny could have paid the cash on leaving. He has now departed from l,ake county and business may prevent him from tfter returning. Just [ think of all the good money he lost i while recuperating at this lonely] Crown Point resort. That was the only time the depression ever in-|

John, as it i seems you are not wanted at C/own Point any longer all are mad at you. There was some suspicion towards Dillinger when the freight i train was held up at my place north !of Monmouth last Sunday afternoon. But when the culprit cut across the fields all suspicion was eliminated, as Dillinger does not dirty his shoos by walking. I want to make one plea to all officers. If you ever meet up with John, please try and talk him out of that little wooden pistol — its dangerous and should not be carI ried by a desperate criminal. Any i kind of a gun is dangerous even ] when taken all to pieces. Why there was a man one time almost ; | killed his wife with a wooden ram-
