TERRE HAUTE TRIBUNE.

ACCUSED GYPS! CHIEF

Murder Case Is Indefinitely Continued Because of Serious Condition of Bemetro John.

While the wheels of justice have been turning, Demetro John, gypsy tri'bal chief, charged with the murder of three of his clan, lies in the jail at Rockville, at the point of death. It is expected that he will not live through the winter.

The confinement to which he has been subjected during his long incarceration, at a direct opposite with his natural bent, is attributed to be the cause of his failing nealth. During the past three weeks his condition has been growing steadily worse. At several times he has had severe blood hemorrhages.

He is accused of killing Joseph Ristich, Socha Jurich (John) and Arista Jurich. Socha is said to be his com-mon-law wife and Arista her mother. All three were menob. rs of his tribe. The crime was committed May 8, 1914. John was arrested immediately and has beeh in jail either here or in Parke county ever since that time.

Daniel Miller, John Hickey, Carson HamilJ and Linus Evans appear as legal counsel in his defense.

He was to be tried on indictments returned in the local coui't, l'or murder in Parke county, to which the case was venued, last week but his physical condition was such that doctors feared the excitement of the trial would end his life. On these grounds attorneys defending him filed a motion for a continuance. The court heard the motion and has continued the case indefinitely.

TREASURER TAKES STEP TO COLLECT STREET PAYMENTS

Says Action Will Be Taken After Jan. 1 Against Property Owners Still In Arrears.

Property owners of Terre Haute, who have in the past failed to pay the yearly installments on street property assessments under the Barrett law, must meet all arrears before the first' of the year, Thomas Dailey, county treasurer, 3aid Thursday. The cases have been turned over to Clarence Royse, city attorney, who is now investigating, he says. Letters have been sent to 'all property owners who have not kept their payments up to date, warning that suit on the lien or condemnation at the next sheriff's sale will be ordered after the first of the j-ear if payments have not been made. The treasurer said property owners are indebted to the city for more than $20,000 through tax payments.

ANYONE GOT A STOVE THAT IS NOT BUSY?

Mrs. O'Neal Has Family That Needs a eHater—Stop Charity to Children.

Anybody got a small heating stove he doesn't need? There's a little home with a little girl, ill of pneumonia, in it. badly in need of one, Mrs. John O'Neal of the Volunteers of America reports. "The little girl i3 12 years old and lives with her grandmother," she said. "The grandmother washes for a living and to keep the child in school. They only have one stove and that is the stove in the kitchen where the clothes are washed and dried. The doctor said there must be some heat in the sick room and the grandmother hasn't the money to buy the stove."

Mrs. O'Neal said if anyone had a •stove not in use and cared to give it, that she or Major O'Neal would give the address of the woman in need or call for the stove and deliver it themselves, whichever plan was most desireable.

Stop Children Begging.

Giving aid to children is a thing of the past at the Friendly inn—that is, handing out the relief to the children themselves. This rule has been recently set in force by Miss Lena Reading, secretary of the local Society for Organizing Charity. Miss Reading said it formerly was a very common thing for children to come to the inn for garments or a grocery order or other kinds of relif. "When they begin asking aid so young it becomes second nature with them and it pauperizes them as perhaps nothing else could do," she said, "After a child has asked for something the first time, the second time isn't so hard and so the scheme of getting something for nothing soon becomes a part of his nature."

When clothing is needed for a child, it is a requirement now that either the father or mother accompany him or her, as the case giay be, and receive the relief. Where relief has been given out to children in the past it has often been necessary to duplicate it, the secretary said. For example, some school children have gone alone down town to buy shoes with orders that had been given from the township trustee and in a day or two the Society for Organizing Charity has received, telephone messages informing it tha!| the shoes were too small. This, of. course, necessitated another purchase.

WOMAN SUES REALTY COMPANY.

Griffith, Mr. and Mrs. Farthing, in which the firm of Doak, Riddle and Hamilton acted as an agent, involved the later in a damage suit for ?2j}8 in the Superior Court Thursday. In the complaint. it, is charged that a number of deals were made between the thrfee parties and that the real estate company has not returned the full amount of the money due after the deal was finished. Mrs. Griffith brought the suit. In addition to the $228 she asks $400 attorney's fee and all other proper relief.

ASKS CUSTODY OF CHILD.

Divorced Wife of Councilman Wants Divorce Decree Modified. A petition to modify a divorce decree granted by Judge'Fred Beal last year was filed in the Superior Court Thursday by Carrie Phillips, who formerly was Mrs. Carrie Savoree, wife of Councilman John M. Savoree. She asks that her child, John J. Savoree, who on the settlement of the suit was given to Mrs. Minnie Savoree, wife of Fred Sa'voree, a member of the board of public safety, be placed in her custody. She alleges the child is taken into saloons.

BOGUS MONEY AROUND.

Look At the Indian's Feathers and See if They Droop. Those who are inclined to indulge in the luxury of making Christmas gifts of $5 gold pieces, and others who handle those coins in the course of business, are being warned by the government secret service department that a bogus $5 gold coin has appeared. A few of these have been accepted by local merchants and by banks.

The bank tellers pronounce the counterfeit one of the most dangerous uttered in recent years. It may be distinguished only by close scrutiny from the genuine, by the fact that the arrowhead on it is blunt, that it lacks the mark of the mint of issue, that the feathers on the Indian headdress droop and that it is 20 grains underweight.

CHRISTENBERRY RELEASED.

Allowed Liberty on Promise of Parents to Curb Him. James Christenberry, the 15-year-old boy arrested on Nov. 15 on a charge of stealing a bicycle, and who has made his escape from the Friendly inn on two occasions since that time, was given his liberty pending good behavior, by Judge Newton in the City Court, Thursday morning. The parents of the boy were in court and said they would see that he kept out of trouble. At present the boy cr not be admitted to the state school as Vigo county already has more than her proportion there, and the judge did not want the boy. to spend his time in Jail.

Thla offer is for a ahort time only.
