Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 190, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 August 1910 — ELI AND JANE. [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

ELI AND JANE.

Mils Theatre, Rensselaer.

Two Lafayette traveling men, one of whom is particularly well known here, made themselves the objects of general hatred Wednesday by enticing a 15-year-old girl to accompany them to Shelby. The girl was moved by a spirit of adventure and did nothing very disgraceful there is no doubt, but the big hulks who sought to disgrace her are fit subjects for a mob, and had the irate father knocked the head of the one who came back to Rensselaer with her, half off his shoulders, he would have done the right thing. His wife, the house he travels for and other traveling men should be told of his grovelling act, and he should be sued for divorc?, discharged\from his position and shunned by hT&\fellow drummers.

Saturday night, August 13th. Last Time Here.
