He said in part: a Came west in 1871 alone, bringW.tag Jphn with toe later when I recorned borne. We came to Wabast county where 1 now live. John wu there about year, and went |n Kentland. Newton county, then to v Goodland and then to, Benton, county. He was 16 years old when I brought him back with ma. From childhood he has always been nervous and exWilliam W. Poole resumed his testimony at the afternoon session. He |-said in part: "John would often, when corrected for doing something, fall down, kick, scream and throw his head against the ground until ex hausted. That was when he w j as a child. "While he was with me in Wabash county he was always easily angered and seemed to key up to a high pltci; . He was also ' axcitaßle and impatient. i . "We were working at Kokomo with some other men. On ope occasion John was coming in and seemed to be very violent. He went to the table, sat down and. looking toward the hotel kichen, jumped up and went into the kitchen. He said ‘D— you. if you are going to wait on me, hurry on. ( want some coffee.’ He had a wild expres- . sion on his face, his eyes protruded and there was a pallor on his .face That was ta 1890, ’ "Once at Monon we boarded at a private boarding house. John had gon. there to work and I went after him, having received a letter asking me to come. John wasn’t there when 1 got there. He came in’one evening and wasn’t very talkative. He went ft bed and in the night he began to shout that he was dying. We got up rubbed his head and neck. We worked with him about a half hour and got Mm quiet "After 1890 I next saw my brother ia 1893 at the Benton county jail. He appeared wild, his eyes had a glassy appearance, his countenance was oppressed, he seemed to be in agony. I asked him if he was suffering pain and be said that it Whs only a headache. After I Inquired-into his health,I told him I was sorry to find him in that condition and that I came down to help him. He told me the only thing I could do was to go and reconcile those people at the farm. He told me that all Benton county was against him. especially his mother and brother Daniel. He said they wouldn’t let him do anything he wanted to. -- “I made arrangements for him to ga to the farm the next day. He talked about these things jerkily. We went to the farm the next day, he in custody of an officer. The officer left him there in my care. We went all over .the., form. ...> ..C "He took «ne to the road and tried to show me some tracks which he ...said were- made at night prowling around his house. I told him that there were no tracks there. He took me to the house and showed me a string he had tied between trees and said, "there is how 1 catch these fellows who comq here after my wife. I get them with those strings.’ He showed me other places where he said men had been hiding and watching him while he worked. * "I could see no human track where John tried to point them out. • His neighbors were all against him and trying to keep him from getting along, he said. I told him he was mistaken and he said, ‘D— you, you are just like the rest of them? You are against me too.’ That day he was wild, but seemed deadly in earnest and be- & H«red what he said. “ I next saw' John in 1909 at my house during, the last of August. He came there while I was in the orchard dressing the injury of a horse that was hurt He walked up to me and spoke of the wound, telling me what to do for it. L put the bandage on it he walked about a rod away and said 'What kind,of a plum is this’’ I said that the plum had two names. H wasn’t until then that I recognized r him. It . had been sixteen years slupe I saw him. My son had seen bimta year before and. didn't recognize him until'l did. 1 asked him why he looked , sp bad and he said he had been siok. I asked him how he came and he said that be started with a horse and then walked. We went Into the house and had dinner. He said that everything was getting along alright, but that he

I then told him that his horst was at Chili; he put his hands to hi: head and finally said that he remem bered that he did have a horse, but that it was at Delphi. Before I could get a horse hitched, he started to wal: toward Wabash and had gone some distance before my son overtook him. He was dressed very shabbily and I bfelieve that that was one of the reasons I didn’t recognize him. "J believe my brother John to be a person of unsound mind,” was the final statement of William Poole foi the defense. . ---..riles Barce told the court that he didn’t have any more witnesses at hand and Judge DeHart adjourned court until 10 o’clock Monday morning. . \ .... .. v,.' . .

Obituary of Mrs. Elizabeth Wenrick Brown.

Elizabeth Nf, Wenrlck was born in Mifflin county, Penn., in 1849, and died rot cancer of the stomach at the. home of x ber father, John Weprick, of n ear Wheatfield, . Ipd,,. Nqv, X 4, 191 L aged sixty-two years, four months and 'six 'dsysJgH emigrated with her parents to Ohio In early childhood and in 18C8, to Jasper county, where she resided until the end came. She was converted and united with the M. E. church In 18^5, and"remained a faithful member for a number of years, when she transferred her membership to the U. B. church, She lived a devoted Christian life. She loVed her Bible above everything else and after she was stricken down with illness her Bible was her companion as, long as she was able to read. She has been a great sufferer flic4>ast uuee* mtriths but she bore her suffering with much patience and many times said she was read?' to go home, and. anxiously awaited the call of her Savior. She was oftlmes heard to praise God during her illness and spent much time in prayer. She was joined in marriage to James Brown in 1890, who proceeded her to the great beyond. She was an affectionate companion, a kind mother and a loving daughter and sister. As the river flows by the force of gravity on its course to the sea, so has she ever kept her face turned faithfully to the duties of life, stopping here and there to -irrigate the heart of her friend or fellow pilgrim by her life of unselfishness and love She leaves to mourn their loss, a father, two sisters and four brothers, namely:..Miss Katie Wenrlck, of near Wheatfield; Mrs. Ellen Cooper, of Virgie; Noah and William J. of Jasper county; J. F., of Halliday, N. D.; and James W. of Ree Hights, S. D. Also three stepchildren, Mrs Violet Dennis, of Chicago, Mrs. Viola Malchow, of Chalmers, and Walter Brown, of Cedar Rapids, lowa, and a host of friends and other relatives. The funeral was conducted Nov. 16, 1911, from the M. E. church of Wheatfield. by Rev. Mcßrayer, of Wheatfield. Interment in Wheatfield cemetery.

Can You Guess What Happened Just Ten Years Ago Today.

Think a minute before you read this. If you did" not live in Rensselar ten years ago or if you were not one of the football bugs of that day and age, you won’t be able to gueßa,_ 7 . •, It was ten years ago today, Dec. 2, 1901, which happened to be on Monday, that Pat O’Dea brought his South Bend athletes here to play foot ball with 5 the Rensselaer Athletics. Result, 0 to 0. But it was a mighty crestfallen bunch of athletes that returned to South Bend after the game and Pat’s phantom of "easy money" vanished.

Latest in science Emotion Machines

MoMfetts 1 Bette They Will Be Valuable In .’M - ‘ Engagements. ISEE by the papers. Belle, that some p’tessor’s discovered there ain’t a star in the heavens that’s not full o’ people makin’ guesses as to whether or not the earth is inhabited. I do»T know exac’ly how he' found it out, but science Is like Monday hash, you’vt got to swallow It on faith. t ; Don’t think for a minute, though Belle, that science ain’t all it's cracked up to be. It gave us wireless telegraphy, and it gave us the hookworm, and if on’y we live long enougi> itT prob'ly teach us the secret of perpetual youth. One German doctor with his name entirely surrounded bj Ph D.’s, A. B ’s, R. 8. V. P.'s and th< rest of the fanfly, took an afternooi off a few weeks ago to watch a ra die in a bottle, and then wrote to th< newspapers and told ’em he’d seen iti soul fllttin* up to wherever souls flit News like that is cheerin’, to say th< least. Belle, for if rats can get bj maybe the future ain’t quite as blacl for us as suma cf mfnljitors lfk» io paint it.

J The things that int’rest me most though, are the machines for testin tho emotions. All you’ve got to do ii just take hold o’ the handles and thinl cf a certain thing and a real good sci enlist can tell exac’ly how you fee about it. When they get it patentee and put it on sale in the drug stores Belle, -broken-off engagements ough’ to be thihgp o’ the past. - - Just tblnko’thehelp -it -would giw a girl that’s undecided whether to Im a sister to a man or let him sticl around for good. She could arrange the emotion machine right under hi? usual seat on the sofa, turn it or when he sat down and begin to fine out whether he really loves her or not The way the scientist figures it out what you say has nothin’ to do witi what the emotion machine registers; it’s what you feel that goes down or the little ticker.

"Don’t you think my mother is tht nicest woman in the world?” she’d say for that’s a very important question Belle —how a man feels about hit fiancee’s parents. It must be awful embarrassin’ to marry a man and then find out he don’t approve o? youi choice of a mother and father.

"Oh, yes!” he’ll teU her. “If I wasn't so much in love with you and your mother wasn’t already married, I don’t know but what—oh, yes, you’ve got the real thing in mothers!" But when he’d gone she’d take a peek under the sofa at the ejnotiou machine and find out that the spot on the ticker representin’ the mother talk was all the way dow’n to zero and strugglin' to eat through the {taper and - hide! If you see the first advertisements of emotion machines before I do, Belle, let me know, will you? I want t<> buy one.

The Following Man; Qr Both Discharged

A man was following her. "Officer,” she said,, fearfully, “that man has been following me for several steps.

SALLY MAKES A CAPTURE

By ROGER BIRCH

-Robin, ’’ said Sally, her face close to mine. "Yes, Bally.” "Don’t go; everything is lonesome.” "Robin Cowper has given the word of an honest gentietnan of the road to meet the coach at 9 tonight.” Gently I put her from me. She brushed away a tear, then, brightening: . “i’ll go, too." 5 "A petticoat to fight the king’s guards?” "Petticoat, no; coat and breeches, yes.” "Too dangerous. Sally. Walt till the coach goes unguarded.” "Robin, you have taught me the sword; you know my mettle. If you think me a coward, go and —find a woman who isn’t.” a / • "Pardon me, Sally! Come along? I’ll get a horse. I borrowed a fine roan and we galloped, she side-saddle, to Forest inn. The lads wore serious faces. It was a bad job, yet, if we won; we could quit the road for a year, so great was the stake. ■--’*‘Our newest member/’ I said introducing Sally. Giles laughed: and welcomed her, but some sneered—until they caught my eye. Mine host, Harlow, found a cavalier’s suit that fitted Sally so she looked like a boy, but no boy ever showed fair face that valored me for deeds of such daring. "The best steel in the company, boy,” said Giles, handing her a blade, as a dozen of us galloped into Southcombe fore St. The lads caught the name "boy” and called her no other. Dud Hobart had been raised to command of the troops sent with the coach from Edencourt to guard the king’? gold. We would put a prank on him, so, at a spot buried deep in the gloom, we cut the trunk of a, tree tllF it was nearly ready to fall. We waited amid shadows. The riders came on. Our horses, Well trained, moved not an ear. The troopers had just passed the weakened tree, when a couple of lads put shoulder against it and it fell crashing across the highway, cutting off troopers from coach. You may believe there was scrambling. The troopers wheeled, but their horses would not go through the thick branches. The noodles tumbled over each other out of the coach. When they looked' into a dozen black masks they made dismalnoise. It looked an easy job. 1climbed into the coach and rolled out kegs of gold. , Now, it happened that some one (I can’t believe it was dullpate Dud) had put on .rear guard, which came dashing up and set up my cullies just when Dud’s fellows, having dismounted, came to the rescue of the gold. Outnumbered two to ohfe. my lads never had more furious fighting. Dud espied me and pumped fibr. the coach door to cut me through as 1 bent to pass out. Sally, quickeyed for my safety, engaged him. Too agile for him, she pricked him and got away from everwjriash. It could not last long. H> Aas. too ponderous, her sword arm 100 much a dainty woman’s. He saw me nearing, gave a savage lunge at Sally to make her skip back, then turned upon me.

Now happend a woman’s trick which I still laugh aL Sally’s arm weary, she cast down weapon, and being behind Dud, next instant had both hands in his hair —woman’s most natural way of fighting. Men brave to face death cannot endure being pulled bald. Sally jerked sharply with one hand, then the other, and every jerk made Dud wince. ' He backed and she steered him toward the trees, where Kit and the ro*h stood. Gripping a . keg under each arm, I followed, ready to use sword if Dud broke away, • • ■ ' I signaled a lad to grip more kegs, then whistled them all into the forest Three had been cut down. Half the king’s men were on the, ground. Once we were among the trees, the traps were afraid to follow. "Let go Dud’s hair, boy,” I said ? ‘"T "He’s my prisoner." , "Where with him’ “To Forest inn.” “And then?” "Petticoats for him.” Sally and I escorted Dud back to Bdencourt, he strapped to his horse and his hands tied behind. Boldly we dashed into town at full gallop, hitched his horse to a post in the public square and sped away, leaying townsmen and girls to make merry at his plight. < - To this day Dud is hunting tor the boy that made him into a woman. Prepared for the Worst. “Good gracious, old man," exclaimed Aseum, "what prt of a suit is that?”.
