Elder Will Probablj Be Unable to Give Bond.

It looks qqila improbable /that Charles Elder wiltebe able to give an acceptable bond mat will keep him out. of the penitentiary. If he fails to give a bond he will be sentenced for ah indeterminate .term of from one to three years. A* the bond would be a guarantee that he would pay tcThig wife sls (instead of S2O) a month for the suppofKyof herself and children and would hdld the bondsmen to do so if he failed, it is proving quite difficult to get any one to sign it.

ATTORNEY DUNLAP WON $655 IN FOOT RACE

Half Mile Big Parser Noah Yoder Was the Other and Losing Contender. At tor hey John A. Dunlap arrived home this Friday morning from Mil--lersburg, Ohio, and he brought with him a purse containing $655, which amount he had won in a footrace run -at Millensburg on Wednesday. The following story will relieve him of the charge of having abandoned his legal practice and taken up footracing fdr a living. This was really a legal foptrace, although it was literally A real sure enough footrace. The Republican last week.recoun.ted the story .of Noah. Yoder’s fight, last August, when himself and wife and sons participated in a fracas over near Morocco that resulted in a suit for damages against Noah. He was defended by Attorney Dunlap, of Rensselaer, and Attorney Graves, of Morocco. The jury returned a verdict of $325 against Yoder, who gave notice of an appeal and filed an appeal bond in tire sum of SSOO. _Flis attorneys went on his bond. The same evening Noah left the state. It was found that he had previously disposed of all of his property, including a farm of 80 acres and considerable property. Learning of this his attorneys began to consider themselves up against it. Besides Being on Yoder’s bond they held his note for $155. They found that Foster Brunton, who purchased his farm and equipment had paid him in checks on the ML Ayr bank and that the checks had not been paid, but on Tuesday morning they arrived at Mt. Ayr for collection, having been sent by a bank at Mlllersburg, Ohio. Messrs. Dunlap and Graves were on the trail and they determined to get Yoder if they possibly could. They left Tuesday afternoon for Millersburg. They got into Chicago in the evening and took a night train for Akron, whore they arrived Yit nine o’clock the following morning. At Akron they got a train for Millers- 4 burg and arrived there at noon. They were riding down town in an omnibus when Mr. Dunlap spied Yoder. He went right after him. Noah made some excuse about going into a store on some business and they went in and Noah went right out of the back door. Mr. Dunlap took after him. They went*~down an alley, through a barn, over a big manure pile, through another barn'ahdftlown the street. Tw. or three times Mr. Dunlap could almost touch Noah on the back. Noah turned sjiort corners as, he went ‘around yards where there were high fences and Mr. Dunlap was afraid to go too close for fear he would meet Noah with a club. But he hung on, although the race was sorely 1 " taxing his strength and his wind. Noah was taßing for the country and John was about to give up the contest when he met a high school athlete, who said: “I can catch him for you, Mister.” “Well, don’t lose any time doing it,” replied John,. The high school athlete pulled up his breeches, buttoned his coat- and set out after Noah. He had nailed him Inside of a hundred yards. And he held on, too. Mr. Dunlap came up and he and the high school boy marched Yoder back to town. In the meantime Graves, who had stopped to settle with the hackman was looking for them. When they met, Graves said: “Where have you been?" “Been coming back,” answered Dunlap. The high school athlete was discharged with a liberal reward. Noah found that he was up against it and that the best way was to settle. He put up the -cash, borrowing it from a bTot-her. a# his money had not yet reached Millersburg. As sopn as the $655 was procured, the attorneys started back, (for Indiana. If Noah «o*tfes Aver ahd settles up he will get the bond money amounting to SSOO, back, bfit it will cost almost that muc" to settle, as. the judgment amounts to $325. Noah also put up the money for the expenses Incurred in the attorneys making the trip over there. He has four of his five children with him, his wife and the other child are still in Newton 'county, and Noah says he will four of his five children with him. His

SYMPATHETIC JURORS HELPED ELDER LAD

.* - - Nine-Year-Old Sen of Mrs. Cftgrfes Elder Outfitted From Head to :• Foot On His Birthday. r • r One of the pathetic things that occurred during ,the trial of Charles Elder for desertion was tpe testimony of his little son, Kenneth, who was put on the stand by Attorney Leopold, for the state. .Kenneth is a bright-eyed and keen-witted little chap, quite small for his years. He was asked if he had ever written to his father and he replied: “Yes, but he never ans-. xvered my letter.” “How old are you, Kenneth?” asked one of the attorneys. “Eight years old, I’ll be nine tomor>row,” said the 1 little fellow as it just seemed to dawn on him that his birthday was close at hand/’ Every juror was ready to cry during the .time the lad Was 6n the witness stand and there was no sympathy for the father who had left, the little ones for. two and a half years and failed to make adequate support for them. Bill Ervin, the court, bailiff, has not shed any tears for a long time. He has seen a lot. of trying things during his life, but Little Kenneth’s testimony was about all he £ould stand. He noticed that the lad had on shabby clothing and worn-out shoes and he determined to see .that he was togged out in good shape. Accordingly .he started out with a subscription paper and it was not long before he had secured $18.50, each of t.heMurymen contributing!™ The money was placed in the hands of Mrs. C, A. Roberts, who took the hoy with -he** to the -stores Thursday, that being his birthday and bought him a new suit of clothes new shoes, a new cap and mittens and handkerchiefs and after he was all togged out she took him to the court house to let the jurymen see him. They again started a shower of nickleg and he had almost a dollar and a half given him at that time. As Mrs. Roberts was taking him away from the court house she asked: “Kenneth, what are you going to do with your money?’ He answered, “Well, I guess I will get a new axe handle, we’ve broke ours.” * Mrs. Roberts had something like $lO left and this was deposited in a local bank and Will be used for the family according to their needs.

Printer Pitts’ Body Was Buried at Salem Wednesday.

The Francesville Tribune .has the following to say about Tourist Printer Pitts, who was found dead last Sunday in the Monon hotel: “Very little Was - known about his relatives although he had .told some that he was bom at Seymour, this state, 43 years ago and had relatives at Salem. His uncle chanced to see th« item of his death in the Indianapolis News. He came .to Monon Tuesday afternoon, .took charge of the body and shipped it to Salem for burial. He said Pitts’ mother was living in Salem and that he had a brother w.ho is employed as a train dispatcher for one of the Soiithern Baciftc terminals. They had been trying to locate him for four years.. He came' from a good family, but the habit which he formed many years ago estranged him from them and also impaired his efficiency as a printer, though he held several good jobs. Pitts was quite well known here and at Monon, where he worked at different times. Regardless of his habits, he was an intelligent and well behaved fellow who had many friends.” Our sauer kraut is now ripe. Try a big quart for sc. JOHN EGER.
