He was a drftiking man and oftentimes he was under the influence of intoxicants. He also used alcohol and morphine according to reports from people who knew. He was discharged from the employ of the Coppock people last week and Monday he left for parts unknown, failing to pay his indebtedness to Mr. Brokaw for his board. Wednesday an affidavit was filed for hip arrest and a diligent search is being made to ascertain his whereabouts. Jaouay is a man of about forty-five years of age. He has a hlguiy respected family at Marion, but liquor has stolen from him all sensibility regarding their welfare and he is now a reckless man. Although absolutely honorable when sober, he is the contrary when drunk and those who know him think that after he comes to his senses, he will send the ■ ameunt he owes to this city and avoid further trouble.

APPROVES MARSHALL Thinks Him the Strongest Candidate th-at- Could be Mom-maVaci WartiiHgtow. March 29—The Indiana tewtocratic congressman who returned today front the Ho*sfer state, are eathMsiastic over the per.soanel of the state ticket and the campaign prospects. “The ticket is the beet oae we ever tert i> Indiana,” said Ceagressman Adair. “I never have known a state convention thjt did its work in a wasner to win snch universal approval. It left no sore spots whatever. Everybody-’seemed well pleased. One elemoit was glad that Ralston was beaten and another element was Phased over the defeat of Slack tftid everybody wag satisfied with Marshall. I think the.people of the state will highly approve MSrshall's nomination. In my opinion he is the strongest candidate we |:*uld have named. lam very wiling to concede that Marshall will be a mere successful vote-getter than I could have hoped to be, if I had been nominated. There is a growing feeling among our people in favor of a business administration, free from active partisanship and Mr. Marshall fills that requirement perfectly.” fit—Q TO MfiET 0 SATURDAY Secretary® Butier® Sending Out Notices for an Important Session Secretary Albert A.
