EFFORT TO RAISE A FUND Os SSOO to Build Monument for a Brave Deputy Sheriff. Sheriff Butler received the following letter: Dear Sir On March 31, IfMMi, Harry Smith the popular and efficient deputy sheriff of tfrange county. Indiana, was shot and instantly killed by John Roby and Oliver Hayrock, two desparadoes. while attempting to arrest the two men at Roby’s home near Paoli, Indiana. Harry Smith wa, a brave officer, fearless in the discharge of his duty always ready to go anywhere at any time to apprehend u criminal. Tie murder of Deputy Smith, the flight of the murderers, their pursuit by officer' among the hills of southern Indiana, their capture and sentence to life imprisonment is now a part of the criminal history of Indiana, and well known throughout the entire state. It is pn>|s>sed by the Harry Smith .Memorial Association to raise a fund of KiOO.ftO for the purpose of erecting a monument to his memory'to be known as the ••Harry Smith .Memor ml,’’ with appropriate inscriptions showing that the sheriffs, deputy sheriffs and their friends of Indiana, erected the monument as a testimonial of the regard they have for the man who dies in the discharge of his duty. A soldier, who dies on the field of battle, while bravely fighting for his ting, is no greater hero than the s.srnforgotten |»eaee officer, who sacrifice, his life in the discharge of duty You are therefore invited to -.end a small contribution to Alvin B. Hum. County Auditor, and Trasurer of the Association, Paoli. Ind. to aid in this laudable undertaking. OLIVER I. MARIS. President,
