Beginning Monday morning, an additional switching crew was put to work on the Gram! Rapids & Indiana railroad, this being made a necessity by heavy increase in business.

A young man named Harrison who lives in the west part of town brought his wife down town Monday evening and left her in W. W. Moat's restaurant while he went to attend to some business, and telling her to await his return. He has so far failed to return and Mrs. Harrison after lingering for three hours went home alone, only to find that her husband’s business had been to go there ahead of her, secure his clothing and leave. The lady seems to think that her husband is out looking for a job and will send for her when he is located. Perhaps ’tie so and he, dreading the parting, took such a means of escaping a scene. The Dunn murder trial at Fort Wayne still continues, and from present appearances will last two weeks yet. The state is drawing a close web of circumstantial evidence around Charles Dunn, the man charged with the assault and murder of little Alice Cothrell. If Dunn is not guilty, ne is certainly the victim of a number of peculir circumstances. His own state- ' ments at the time the neighborhood i were looking for the child’s body and which are substantiated by many good I witnesses will prove damaging against the defendant. On Tuesday Marie Sampleson, an employee at the Dunn home was the principal witness and her statements were quite sensational. The defense expect to show by physicians that the condition of the body was caused by the girl drowning, and will then try to show that she fell in the well accidentally.
