Says Pool Was Calm When Confronted With Murder Charge.

The Fowler Republican-Leader gives a full account of the arrest of John Pool on the charge of murder, and of his relief following the search on his farm in an effort to locate the body of the supposed victim. When the search revealed nothing that substantiated the charge of Pool’s son the father was released and he was only in jail about 14 hours. The Republican concludes a long article as follows: From the time of his arrest until his release Pool never for an instant lost his control. When accused of murder his reply was calm, his lnvltatlon for the sheriff to enter his home was cordial. He received the news of his release with the same remarkable calmness. He did not even ask the name of his accuser.

During the time Mr.' Yeo> man was in town he had been tkTked to about the legal phaze of the road he was one of the petitioner* for and he had just about decided that he might be in the wrong and was a little in doubt about wbat to do when he' started home with Mr. Rush. The occupied a place on the seat of the wagon and as the neighbors wended their homeward way they talked about the new roads and the law affecting. They forgot all about the rooster In the excitement and when they reached home and Jot\n brought down the sack with his latest thoroughbred stock in it the rooster was dead. The theory ts that the mer. sat on it which may be the cause of the demise, but others are advancing the thcoi ‘hat the chicken was talked d'sC The men are said to have 1. 1 .at .ument agreeable but «. Rush i. at a dandy good rooster.

REGULATION THAT DON’T; THAT NEW PROCTOR LAW.

Dictated by the Brewers, of the Breners and for the Brewers, Is the Liquor Law of Indiana. The main points in the so-called Proctor regulation liquor law are as follows: “Saloons may be limited one to each 1,000 inhabitants and not more tiihn one to each 500. The commissioners of this county have placed the lliuit! at one to 1,000. “No license holder can receive any assistance of any sort from any person or corporation engaged in the manufacture of intoxicating liquors, nor can the agent of any such person or corporation be granted a license. “Persons to whom licenses are granted must be of good moral character (no other kind ever apply) and must hkve resided in the state one year and in the township, city or town where he seeks a license, six months. “No person who has been convicted of a felony within fifteen years or who prior tc the passage of the law has besn convicted twice in four years of violating the liquor laws, shall be granted a new license; nor shall any person who has been convicted twice in any period of {two years of violating the liquor laws after this takes effect, be granted a renewal of licenses.

“Permission to sell or transfer license can be granted when the person to Whom it is proposed to sell or transfer such license, has all the qualifications required of original license. No license can be sold or transferred while charges are pending against the holder. The object of the provision is to make the bfijder careful not to lose his license by viola- 1 tion of the law. “Any voter may file remonstrance against the granting of renewal of license five days before the commissioners meet and no renewal shall be granted until such remonstrance is decided. In case of application for new license remonstrances may be filed under any former law. “Any license holder wishing to transfer ljis place of business must give at least twenty days’ notice of his intention to apply for permission to transfer and any person living in the territory to which it is proposed to move, shall have the privilege of remonstrating against the granting of such transfer. No transfer can be granted from a city to a township or from a township to a city. “No one shall sell intoxicating liquor on Sunday, the Fourth of July, Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving, or on any election day until the polls are closed. In cities of the first and second class, saloons may remain open from 5 a. m. till 12 p. m.; in other cities from 5 a. m. till 11 p. m.; and in all other places between 5 a. m. and 10 p. m.”
