TWO SUSPECTS HELD IN JAIL AT CELINA, O. ; (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I registers and tobacco shelves. The pair are accused of participation in the Elgin Hardware I store robbery at Elgin in Mercer ' county and the filling station robbery a? Willshire last week. At Elgin the yeggs escaped with five | dollars and at Willshire with $240. j The pair were captured on the ‘ Jess Harmount farm northwest of i Haviland in Paulding county, 0.. Sunday afternoon. Putnam was shot down by a memlier of the posse, which formed when a tip ' was heard of their location. A i marshal from Coldwater. Ohio, ', shot at Putnam's car when he reI fused to raise his hands. The bulI I let struck the fender of the auto- | mobile and glanced upward, in- ! Dieting a wound in his abdomen. I Putnam was removed to the hos- • pital at Van Wert where his • wound was found to be slight and then was sent with Mildred Davis ', to the jail at Celina. Putnam's heavy automatic pistol I was beside him in the car. The ' i car pocket beside the woman coni tained a loaded .3#caliber revol- ' ver. believed to he the one she wielded Thursday night in a robi berv of the Shanebrook filling stal tion at Five Points, on U. S. I highway 24 near New Haven. Sheriff Johnson took four wit- : nesses with him to identify the j couple at Celina They are Edgar 'shady, of Hondutas; Henry Brein!er of Peterson; John Everett of | Pleasant Mills, and Jack Straub, i a witness at the Peterson holdup. An effort is being made to link . the pair with a gang of at least i two couples who have been active , in filling station and general store ' robberies in Indiana and Ohio for ' the last six months.

THIRD BUTLER MAN IS FIRED — Third Instructor Receives Notice Os His Dismissal Indianapolis, Apr. 16.—<U.R> —The third 'dismissal of a Butler University instructor, purportedly because; lof connections with Dr. Walter S. lAthearn, ousted president, was an-! - nounced here today. Dr. Ernest L. Bowman, former I Ohio State university professor, and for the past two years registrar and examiner at Butler, was the third faculty member to learn i his contract will not be renewed for the 1931 35 school year. Dr. Albert E. Bailey, dean of the evening and extension courses, received' word Saturday he would not be retained next fall, and Frederick (Fritz) Mackey, head football ! coach, is to be replaced either by I Paul D. Hinkle, athletic director, or 'Hugh Middleworth, former assistant Indiana coach. Another change said to lie contemplated as part of a move to dis-1 miss instructors hired by Dr. Ath-' i earn during his two years as presi- j | dent, involves Dr. Walter Bachman, ! ' h£ad of the department of religion.! Dr. Bachman, former dean of the Biblical Seminary of New York, became professor of religious education in 1932. While reports credit the general | dismissal order to the fact that all | those hired by Dr. Athearn are due' to be let out, university officials I declare the move is a "matter of' economy." Dr. Bailey termed the economy ! move a "smoke screen." stating he can show where his department ' | made money for the institution. Dr. Athearn was dismissed without warning by the board of directors last October. He filed a SIOO,OOO damage suit' in a local court, claiming his repu- 1 tation had been impaired, and that' he now is unable to obtain a posi-1 tion elsewhere. o Porter’s Books Rank With Best Sellers According to the Literary Dige.sit a list of the best sellers since 1875, not including the Bible, discloses that "In. His Steps" by Charles M. Sheldon heads the list with eighit million copies. Next is Gene Sti.ratton-Porter's “Freckles" with two million copies, Three other of her books ran nearly two million each which together with sales of her other writings easily places her at the top of the list of every author since 1875. “Ben Hur" by General Lew Wallace sold nearly two million copies and John Fox, Harold Bell Wright, Owen Lister, Jack London; about one million each of their best sellers.
