RENSSELAER, INDIANA, BATUBDAY, JULY 16, IMO.

GALLION-TAKEN TO OHIO BY CONSTABLE HI. BLUMBI.

Game Warden Must Answer Charge of Child Desertion When He Beaches His Former Home.

Albert M. Gallion, the game warden, waa arrested Friday evening by Sheriff Shirer on the charge of child desertion preferred by Gallion’s wife in Miami county, Ohio, and for which Governor Marshall had granted a requisition. On Saturday morning Constable Hi. Blumbi, of Troy, Ohio, arriver in Rensselaer and took Gallion in charge and on the 10:55 train started with him to Logansport, where Gal lion was to be given an opportunity io see relatives before being taken back to Ohio. Gallion spent Friday night in the county jail. Mr. Blumbi, the constable, is a little Dutchman, who as constable and deputy sheriff of his home county has built up a state wide reputation. He was discussed recently in an editorial in a Dayton, Ohio, newspaper and credited with being one of the best officers in the state of Ohio. He stated while here that there is no punishment in the state of Ohio for wife desertion, but the punishment for child desertion is very severe. He said that he knew nothing about the charges against Gallion but that if he is guilty he will have to make some arrangements to support the child.

Gallion talked to a reporter for the Republican and stated that he. was thoroughly justified in his own conscience for having left his wife five years ago, and that he would not live with her and does not believe any selfrespecting man would. He stated that he is entirely willing to return to Ohio and face the charge and will not fight the requisition.

Gallion is not suffering much from the shot wounds inflicted by Haynes. Several of the shot are still in his anatomy and the physician says will do no harm. The only visible wound is where the shot went into his right cheek. Gallion almost ruined a suit oi clothes while going through a fence after Haynes. He was caught in the barbs and the back of his coat riddled. He outfitted himself with a new suit while here. A telegram from Logansport, Gallion’s home, in the Indianapolis Star, states that relatives of Gallion in that city say that they will see him through the Ohio trouble. They aay that his marriage in Ohio was under duress and that he has never lived with his wife and never intends to. A Rensselaer party, who knew Gallion tn Logansport, states that he is deserving of considerable sympathy. He will be tried Immediately upon his return to Ohio.

James Donley, the other game warden, left on the morning train for his home in Kouts. He stated that nothing more would be done for the present about the apprehension of Haynes. Chief Deputy Fleming, of Ft. Wayne, stated that he regarded the work of Gallion and Donley as a little coarse, and it was on his recommendation that they gave up the case here. There is no doubt that Haynes has gone away and it is probable that he will move bis family away. Should he come back it is likely that he will have to face the charge of shipping game from the state.

“Ready to Shoot" Kokomo Officer Held on Charge of Murder.

Oscar Welty, of Kokomo, is held in the jail of that city for the murder of a negro named Edwards. Welty was a constable. He has been in trouble frequently owing to his readiness to shoot. He held an exalted opinion of himself and laborel [labored] under the impression that an officer has a license to shoot and kill whenever he takes a notion. The killing of Edwards was entirely unprovoked and white people are just as highly incensed as are the colored people at the crime. Welty stands a fine chance of serving the remainder of his days in the penitentiary as a result of his faulty belief that an officer has a right to shoot whenever a cltiden [citizen] objects to his action. The officer who murders is no better than any other person who murders and as soon as one demonstrates that he is too fresh with his firearms he should have them and his commission taken away from him. Possibly this applies to game wardens also.

Infant of Mr. and Mrs. N. A. McKay Dies at Fair Oaks.

The 15-month-old child of Mr. and Mrs. N. A. McKay, of Fair Oaks, died Friday night of cholera infantum. The funeral will be held at Fair Oaks Sunday morning at 10 o’clock.

And From Now On Prices Are To Be Lower.

In the opinion of J. Ogden Armour, the great Chicago packer, this country will never see hogs reach 10 cents per pbund again. The high prices of the past year are due largely to the diminished production of hogs, but this high price in turn has induced breeders to increase their herds, and the promise of a bountiful crop of corn will make cheapen feed. Armour thinks the right price of hogs to be from 8 to 9 cents per pound, but there are many thousands of laborers who will not agree with' him on these figures. There Is money in 8 cent hogs even when corn is 51 cents.

Program Recalls Annual Commencement of 1894.

On Thursday evening, May 24th, 1894, the commencement exercises of the Rensselaer high school were held. It was the twelfth class to graduate. Recently among some old samples in the Republican office a program of these exercises was found. The class consisted of seven who read the following. Compulsory Education Oren F. Parker. Territorial Growth of the United States, .... .-..... Marion L. Spitler, Jr. The Coming Nation Ray D. Thompson. Literature and the Age, Benhart Fendig. Importance of Good Roads, .... Jesse M. Coen George Washington Childs •* Florence Neal. Class History Jos. H. Marshall. The music for the commencement was furnished by the Rensselaer string orchestra.

All of the ’94 class are living, we believe. Oren Parker and Benhart Fendig are Rensselaer merchants. R. D. Thompson is the city treasurer and a local practicing lawyer; Marion L. Spitler is a prominent young lawyer and business man of Oklahoma City; Jesse M. Coen is employed in the McClurg store in Chicago; Joseph Marshall is in California and Florence rleal, the only girl in the class is now the wife of a dentist named Jenkins, and lives in Canada. Her father recently died and an account of the death was published in this paper.

W. G. Vollva May Get Control of Zion City.

Wilbur Glenn Voliva, overseer o* Zion City, 111., protege and later opponent of John Alexander Dowie, religious leader, was placed in position to eventually secure absolute control of Zion City and its industries by a federal court, order today. This resulted when Judge Kenesaw M. Landis accepted the bid of a Chicago real estate firm for the assets of the Dowie estate. Guy D. Thomas.

receiver of the estate, was ordered to dispose of it to the realty company for $700,000. Under a previous contract the realty firm will transfer the estate to Voliva for $900,000. Of this sum Voliva paid $50,000 at the time the contract was drawn up and will be allowed eight years in which to pay the balance of $850,000.

This action practically brings to an end a fight that has been waged for control of Zion City for several years. In bitter opposition to Voliva was the Zion City Investors* Association, composed chiefly of Zioqites. Members of the association wanted the Dowle estate held In trust for a long period of years to secure on increased land values.

l awyers In Monon Ditch Case Accused of Many Delays.

Winamac Republican: The Monon ditch case is proceeding at a rate that will insure its being completed within two or three years. Judge Steis has put a stop to many of the practices which meant delay, and it now looks as if the matter would shortly be in shape so that it can be settled in a few weeks. The judge has ruled that but three witnesses shall be heard on each side and both sides are now getting their important witnesses who know the facts, and leaving at home their neighbors and friends who are willing to testify for good fellowship's sake. The Kinzie B. Clark remonstrance is disposed of. Mr. Clark contended the proposed improvement would not bene - fit him, and asked that he be relieved from his assessment of $975. The court reduced the assessment SI2C, leaving it $855. The hearing of the evidence on the Ed Shedrow remonstrance was completed Wednesday and the Adam Learsch remonstrance was taken up and is now being heard.
