Convicted of child stealing, Salva-1 i tore DI Blasi, who was arrested at 1 Cleveland, Ohio, alter he had eloped with and married thlrteenyear-old Blosscm Sparks, of Indianapolis, whose birth may nave occurred In Adams county, since Cleveland officials Inquired for a certificate of the same from Adams county birth records, was fined SIOOO and sentenced to two years Imprisonment at Indianapolis. Salva- | tore was arrested in Cleveland for I contributing to the delinquency of the ' girl, who, under the required age, was | employed In factories. Her mother, ' Mrs. Effie Sparks, of Indianapolis, hearing of her daughter’s whereabouts, from this publicity given the case, got busy and the charge of child stealing was preferred Hgalnst. Di Blasi. Governor Harmon of Ohio, honored the requisition of the Indiana governor for the "cradle snatcher,” and he was taken Friday to Indianapolis, to answer the charge of abduction. Di Blasi's attorney pleaded that in Italy It is not unusual for tnen to marry girls thirteen or fourteen years old. “Then I suppose a Turk coming to America should be permitted to take four or five wives.” retorted the prosecutor. “Di Blasi could not legally | marry this child, and he knew it." The girl wept as Di Blaso was led away. Blossom's home-coming, with her maligned lover and husband was a romantic one. The Indianapolis News says: "Clinging to her Italian husband as If for protection, and frequently hold-' Ing his hand and patting him on the arm, the Sparks girl was brought to . Indianapolis Thursday evening from Cleveland. Ohio, by Detective Hugh ’, Dugan, with Di Blasi, twenty-eight years old, who w’as formerly a tailor at 339 East South street. Di Blasi was locked up in the city prison. The girl was taken to the Detention home, charged with incorrigibility." Di Blasi said that when he boarded at the Sparks home he formed a strong L attachment for the girl, and a tew days ( before their disappearance he told her that he loved her. il t "You know now great is this Italian |. love,” said Di Blasi. "It is big, and as t soon as I made up my mind that I e loved Blossom I wanted her for my t wife." t Hs says they tried to get married In Cleveland, at the home of his sister, but were refused on account of 9 the bride’s youth. They then went to t Toronto, where they were married September 21st. A short time later the couple returned to Cleveland, where b- they both obtained work. The girl denied that she had been forced to go to work by her husband, and said ■ that from the time she left Indianapolis she was treated kindly by him. The child wife said there would have been no trouble had Mrs. Sparks not interfered.

Samuel Doak of West Monroe street had a grim race with death Saturdaj afternoon, In which death came out the winner by three hours. Mr. Doak received word of the serious Illness oi his aged sister, Mrs. Jane Duncan, at Piqua, Ohio, and left for her bedside, arriving there at 7 o'clock Saturday evening. Her death, however, had occurred at 4 o’clock, just three hours before his arrival. Mrs. Duncan was the only sister of the three Douk brothers, and had reached the advanced age of eighty-two years. Her husband Is stil Hiving, he also being eighty-two years of age, the happy couple having the privilege rarely given to man and wife, of passing more than the usual number of years together and growing old together, side by side. Six children survive, all married, except one daughter, at home. The funeral will be held Tuesday. Death of Mother. Omer Butler and family left Monday noon for Elwood, where they were called by the death of Mr. Butler's mother, Mrs. Mary Butler, wife of iC. C. Butler, of that city. No news of her illness had come to Mr. Butler and the telegram received Sunday night at 6 o'clock of her death was very unexpected. Mrs. Butler was eighty-four years of age. and the infirmities of her extreme old age are supposed to have been the cause of her death. Her husband is still living, having arrived at the age of ninety-one yeai*s. She leaves eight ‘ children —three girls and five boys. The funeral services will be held Tuesday. —o. — ~ ' The republicans of tue various precincts of the county held conventions .
