BUTLER HOME • • • u Deputy Sheriff Tells of Trip With Touhey Prisoner Was Handcuffed all the Time, and Made No Effort to Get Away. ■ ‘ a f.i *< Jesse Butler arrived home this morning from Jeffersonville where ho landed Pat Touhey. He says there is positively no truth in the statement that Touhey tried to escape or that he was careless with him. Touhey was handcuffed When he left here and they were not taken from him until he reached prjsq&t Jesse even feeding him. He was with the prisoner constantly. At Marion they went to a restadrarit for breakfast. While there'th4fe' met an acquaintance of Pats, talked a short time and then went to the depot and there met some more of Frank’s friends, talked a few' (minutes and then left for Indiandpolis., Touhey's friends reported to the police that they had seen him and the report of his escape followed. Jesse knew nothing of it until he reached Marion on his way home yesterday. He tells a straight story and his friends and the publio believe him,. GOT ENOUGH ■ t st- .•> ’ ■ Even the Ice Dealers Are Tired of Winter. The ice dealers of the city that handle natural ice are not looking upon the continued cold weather with as great joy as an ice man is supposed to be in cold weather. They are somewhat exasperated, for nearly all of them have ‘ too much of a good thing.” Their crops were harvested by the middle or latter part of December, from one or two months earlier than is usual, and now the greater part of the ice that is forming must be allowed to go to waste. The average thickness of the ice at the present time is about twelve inches. The ice that has been harvested has been of good quality, but the dealers dislike to see the remainder of I the crop go to waste and have tilled 1 their ioe houses to the limit.

MOVING HERE •<? ,i»t >. n . i Bluffton Working Girls Seek Other Fields of Labor. A dispatch from Bluffton says: Nearly half the girls employed in the Zero mitten factory have left this city and gone to Tiffin. 0., Decatur, Ind., and other places within the past few weeks. Some of the girls say their action is due to an insloent foreman and othets tc. a new wage scale under which they cannot make good wages, although the management claims the new wage scale affords them as good an income as the old. Merchants here regard the girls’ leaving as a serious proposition. On account of yesterday’s momentary burst of entusiasm among the High School classes, a special ses. simi of the School board last night udoptcsl a number of new ( stringent rules, for the purpose* of farther confining the growing evil. The janitor is to be given much greater authority over the grounds, and more jxiwer of restraining the stu I dents, whose actions might possibly . prove an injury to the sohohl pro perty. It is tp be hoped that the classes will now confine all spirit t« their respective homes, since the board should not be made the butt of wasteful demonstrations. ,> ~~~yt — For Sale Gasoline engine.
