DID NOT LOCATE THE ELUSIVE COHEE

Special Officer rate and L. A. Harmon Unable to Learn Anything About Real Estate Dealer. W. H. Cohee Is still a fugitive and the search instituted last Friday when he failed to appear for trial has resulted in no information that can be depended upon to land him. Evidently Cohee has made good his escape, at least for the present. Clarence Fate and L. A. Hannon, the former being deputized as a sheriff, went to Lafayette Monday and found that Cohee was not at the home of a Mrs. Miller, 8 miles in the country. They also learned that the woman who was here with Cohee and who passed as his wife was a niecaof Mrs. Miller and that there is strong probability that, she and Cohee were not married at all, although there is a report to the effect that they were married in Atlanta, Ga. This woman was with Cohee when he was arrested, but did not offer to secure the funds to provide for his release. She was a very gaudy woman in personal adornments and wore a “basketful” of large rings while here, and they passed for diamonds, whether they were the real stuff or not. This woman was in Lafayette Monday night and was seen by a detective. She was going to Indianapolis that night. Indianapolis 'detectives are on the lookout for Cohee and if he meets her he will probably be captured. His disappearance naturally suggests his guilt and if he is guilty he has probably put considerable distance between himself and Indianapolis by this time.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL TO BE DEDICATED

Former Urofessor Edgar 0. Holland Will Deliver Address Friday Z Evening at Auditorium. The Board of Education and the teaching corps of the high school have completed plans for the formal dedication of the new school building. The exercises will be held in the high school assembly room next Friday evening at 7:30 o’clock. A very attractive program has been arranged. There is to be an address by Prof. E. O. Holland, superi ntendent of public schools ot Louisville, Ky. Prof. Holland was at One time connected with the public schools of Rensselaer. Later he became a member of the faculty of Indiana University, in the department of education. He was a member of the board of inspectors at the time the Rensselaer high school was admitted to membership in the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and his personal knowledge of the excellence of the Rensselaer schools had much to do with the admission of the high school to this important association. Prof. Holland rarely leaves Louisville for the purpose of making addresses, but has made an exception in the case of Rensselaer because of his former connection with the schools here. He w.’ll discuss matters pertaining to the place and function of the high school in a system of education. In addition to the address by Prof. Holland there will be talks by the president of the board of education, the principal of the high school and the superintendent of schools. A group of pupils will present a short cantata, entitled “The Village Blacksmith.” The high school orchestra will furnish several pieces of music and a- girls’ quartette will sing. After the formal part of the program is -Over, the audience will be Invited to inspect the new building, and high school pupils will be in waiting to conduct persons about the building. At this time a committed will also serve refreshments. It is desired that visitors will take advantage of this opportunity, not only to get acquainted with the new building, but also with the high school faculty and with each other, in short, that this part of the evening shall be a delightful social occasion. These exercises are open to the public and there will be no admission fee at the door. Everybody is cordially invited to be present and enjoy the occasion. .

VAUDEVILLE STUNT WITHOUT EXTRA PAY

Unadvertised Diversion at the Prin-cess-Stranger Objected to Read Door Exit.

A stunt not on the program occurred at the Princess Theatre Monday evening and held the large audience spellbound while it lasted. It proved to be a oneround sparring contest that - resulted in a decisive victory for the manager of the house, Col. Fred Phillips, although there was a short time,in which the manager was getting the worst of the contest. The timely arrival of reinforcements, ir the person of his picture machine operator, Harve Robinson, saved the day for the manager, however, and his adversary, a traveling salesman named S. S. Rosenblatt, was glad to make his exit through the rear door of the theatre. It was all because of his adversion to the
