Back to Indiana After Enduring Severe Western Hardships.

Mrs. Charles Robinson went through Rensselaer en route to Chicago from Battle Ground Sunday. She will visit relatives there for several days* Mrs. Robinson and daughter came .from Hprse Butte, Mont., about ten days ago and after spending a day here with her husband’s mother, Mrs. G. M. Robinson, went to Battle Ground, where the daughter entered school. Mr. Robinson and family went to South Dakota eighteen months ago in company with his brother, Vern Robinson and wife, and took up a homestead. Their first postoffice was Sturgis, but later a postoffice was established at Horse Butte and Mr. Robinson was made postmaster. He also ran a general store. At one time the office had about 75 patrons and things would have boomed had successful crop seasons ensued, but last year the crop was very poor and this year it was a total failure. Garden vegetables planted in tHe spring did not come up at all and the barren country has been almost' entirely deserted. There are now only a half dozen persons who get their mail at the Horse Butte office and Mr. Robinson is waiting his release as postmaster, having resigned some time ago. By the payment of 50 cents per acre Mr. and Mrs. Robinson were able to prove up on their claim, and they have confidence that within a few years the land will bring them a fair price., Charley will return to Indiana as soon as relieved from the postofflce, which he expects will be

Why? Because it is not controlled by a check (or night damper, as it is often called) that admits cold air between the combustion chamber and the chimney, thus causing the fire to die. The fire in this tvne of heater, using the check-damper, is simply kept horn going out during the night, and really does not burn while the damper is drawn. With the SEARCHLIGHT UTILITY such conditions do not exist. By means of the “Heat-Regulating Damper” a slow combustion is maintained throughout the entire night, and in the morning the room is warm and corpfortable. These statements in regard to the “Searchlight Utility” are facts. We know what this stove will do, as we have used it for three years in our own home, and • money could not buy it if another could not be obtained. We will sell this stove on 30 days’ trial; if not satisfactory, we will refund your money and take the stove. You will certainly make a mistake if you fail to see this marvelous heater before you buy. E. D. RHOADES & SON, Rensselaer, Indiana

INDIANA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1911.

RAIDED WE AST’S POOL KOOK SUNDAY FORENOON.

Found “Homo" and “Jingo” and Five Bartels of Unlabeled Staff Said to Be Nothing But Beer. Marshal Mustard and Constable “Billy” Parks raided J. Weast’s pool ■Yoom Sunday morning, following evidence procured which indicated that he was selling intoxicating liquor. Weast bought the George McCarthy pool room two months or more ago and soon engaged extensively in the soft drink business, or at least it was supposed to be soft drinks that he was selling. His business increased at a rapid rate and his patrons seemed largely to be & class who were recognized as imbibers of intoxicants. His place has been looked upon with considerable suspicion for some time and many people who saw evidence of laW violations predicted that Weast’s days were numbered. He was given plenty of rope and Saturday afternoon and night the officers allege that there was a stream of business to his place that beggars description. Thirsty patrons were lined up in his joint three and four deep and Weast and three or four assistants were required to take- care of the business which came from the front and rear? alley and back door business having particularly the appearance of clandestine liquor sales. Sunday morning business started up in good shape and patrons became so noisy that Marshal Mustard closed the place at about 10 o’clock. It was just about noon when the officers, armed with a search warrant, went to his quarters on Washington street and started their inside investigation. They found so * many barrels and cases of stuff that there was not much room left for the pool parlor. Thirteen barrels of “Homo” were found, also a supply of “Jingo” and five barrels that were marked “X” on the exterior and the bottles on the inside of which were unlabeled. Those are thought to contain beer and the officers have sufficient evidence’ that it is beer to make things look dark for Weast: ."> .

MAY BE BLUFF ABOUT TOM KNOTTS GRAFT CHARGE.

\ * Detective Dean Asked by Prosecutor to Produce Substantial Evidence Against Gary Mayor. Gary, Ind., Sept. 10.—“ The evidence has got to be conclusive,” said Charles Greenwald, prosecutor of Lake county, today, In discussing bribery cases, wherein Mayor Thomas E. Knotts, City Engineer C. A. Williston and five aldermen of this city were arrested Friday on charges of having accepted 116,000 for their votes in the passage of the Dean heating franchise. “I am tired of this horse play that has been going on in Lake, county for the past three years,” he continued, “and B. Dean must show me that he *has the goods’ on these men before I will approve the affidavits and push the prosecution. lam npt saying that politics is playing any part in the Dean charges, but Mayor Knotts and other city officials before have been arrested just for political spite work.” The law firm of Hodges & Ridgley, Dean’s attorneys, will submit the preliminary evidence in the ‘cases to Prosecutor Greenwafd tomorrow. The two attorneys tonight refused to state the nature of their evidence but admitted that the dictagraph records would play an important part. T. B. Dean, who brought the charges against the officials and who, it is said, is a private detective, could not be found today, but his attorneys declared he would be ready to present evidence when the cases were called for trial. A search of Dean’s former room in the hotel today failed to reveal any indication that a dictagraph said by Dean to have been his means of getting evidence, had been connected.
