Charlea {Leßrun, -who, several months ago, was paroled from the Jeffersonville reformatory, after two 1 years confinement, and who violated i his parole suDsequent to his release, 1 Aonvmg nere for part sunknown, was ' captured last Wednesday at the home 1 of his father on west Madison street ! by Sheriff Meyer and Deputy Ed Green and is languishing at the county jail awaiting transfer to the prison. Leßrun, it will be remembered, was sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to the charge of stealing sheep. His behavior at the reformatory was such that prompted the board of pardons to conditionally parole him. This was done and he returned to Decatur, where he remained for several months, working at the paper hanging and painting trade. Tired of reporting to the officers of the institution each month, he left the city, telling no one where he expected to go. The prison officials learning of his departure, soon Inaugurated an effort to land him. Leßrun had. gone to Tennessee and for a long time did not disclose his identity. He was homesick to see his child, so he claims, and returned to Decatur for a few days’ visit, expecting to make his getaway before the officers were aware. However, Sheriff Meyer learned of his being in the city and went to the home yesterday afternoon where the fugitive was found locked in a room. Leßrun did nqt offer resistence, but reprimanded the officers for not giving him a minute's warning. A reward of |2i was offered for his detention and the Decatur officers wll receive that amount There is no doubt that LeBrun will be given a severe sentence. Q . The commissioners of Adams county adjourned last Thursday at noon However Thursday morning before adjourning the commissioners acted on several maters which were filed the first being the petition of the Indiana Lighting company, which recited the facts that they had purchased the property of the Salamonle Mining company and also the property bf the Fort Wayne Gas company, and were operating the above named plants and that they were desirous of securing a franchise to lay, maintain and operate a pipe line for the transportation of gas, commencing at the western limits of Adams county on the highway between Preble and Kirkland townships, running thence east on the public highway to the eastern limits of the city of Decatur for the purpose of connecting its gas plant in Fort Wayne with Its gas plant In Decatur. The commissioners after being fully advised in the premises, granted the franchise and the same is now in full force and effect C. Radamacher, Lase Ellis, John Meyer, Jeff Klopfenstein, Louis Keller and C. Boknecht through their attorneys L. C. DeVoss, A. P. Beatty and Peterson & Moran, this morning filed a petition before the board asking that they set aside their action taken some time ago in relation to setting the date for the county local option election, reciting the facts that the abeve named are the only ones at this time affected by the said election, and further reciting that the law is unconstitutional as it does not embrace the subject matter connected therewith and further that it is retroactive in its effect as it (relates to the petitioners and objectors herein and would impair valuable contract and enforce the annulment thereof, further that the act as passed by the legislature is not complete and provides that In all elections not in the acts specified including penalties the general election laws shall apply, further that the act seeks to apply the general election law to special elections, and there is such a conflict in the law that under the law no valid election could be held, further that there Is no provision in the law as to when the inspectors shall report the result of the election or there is no provision in the law as to who will make such report to the election commissioners and the statute governing general elections will not apply in such county local option and further that there is no appropriation on hands to pay thp expenses of the election and the costs which will amount to $2,000 must be paid by ffie taxpayers of the county. Therefore they ask that the commissioners set aside their former order and vacate said judgment *nd order ordering said election held on February 23 1909. The commissioners, owing to the absence of their president, Martin Laughlin, refused to act at this time, and advised the attorneys for the above named parties that they would* not act unless Mr. Laughlin was present, which would not be until next Monday. Therefore the pe- I tition will stand until that time with- 1 out any action being taken. 1 .0 1. / 0 ■; J TRKJKER’S Jackson Bootless coal i leaves whiskers on the stove i lids.

She had a good and kind disposition, with a smile for every one. She was faithful all through her sickness and tried to get well. She said at the last,hour t she was willing to go. She had been in ill health since May. On the 28 of August she was operated on and ever since was not able to walk or help herself. On Wednesday evening before she was called away she tried to sing, but her voice trembled so she couldn’t sing much.
