FATHER AND SONS WALKING TO MICHIGAN

Youngest Sou Was Epileptic and Unable for the Hardships Ijnposed by Distracted Parent.

A telephone message was received by Deputy J3neriff Grant Monday afternoon to ; the effect that a man and two fjoys were traveling through the country and that the man seemed to Tie beating the youngest son. Deputy Grant procured an automobile and went to the country, northwest of Parr, and there overtook the man and boys. The mgn explained that he was walking from Paxton, 111., to Byron, Mich., and that the boy had fits of epilepsy and had that day suffered three of the spells. There were no marks on the hoy to indicate that he had been abused, hut it was plain to see that his condition was such that he could not endure the hardships of the long Walk. His father, past 60 years of age, was algo crippled frdm rheumatism and the other boy was thin and not strong enough for such an overland trip. In sacks the father and the oldest boy carried their earthly possessions. The father had 45 cents and each of the boys had a dollar.

Mr. Grant decided to bring all to town and present the matter to Trustee Wood. The hoy suffered another epileptic attack after getting into the automobile and seemed to. be afraid that he was going to be taken from his father. The father told a_pitiful story, if it can be believed, after his arrival in town. He said that fifteen months ago he went with his wife and two sons to St. Louis, from Byron, Mich., and procured work in a glass factory. His wife died suddenly a month later and for fourteen months he had been doing all that a father could for the children. He was employed at $1.75 a day and the oldest boy, 16 years old, hut quite small, got $5 a week, but it cost each $4.75 per week for board, which included the care of the epileptic son. The father said lie worked at Alton, 111., under the same conditions and saved enough money to get as far as Paxton on his way back to Michigan. They left Paxton Friday evening and had traveled as far as the J. L. Babcock farm, near Parr, by Monday noon. While at the sheriff’s office the man, who gave his name as W. W) Castello, showed a great amount of affection-for-thc epileptic son, who was 13 years of age, and when asked why he did not place the boy in a home for epileptics, said that he could not think of parting with him. Told that the boy had much better be in a home than traveling about the country, his father agreed, but said that he would have a permanent home on a farm owned by his brother when he reached Byron, Mich. He willingly accepted the proffer of aid in getting to his destination and Trustee Wood bought tickets to Elkhart and it is expected that authorities there wilt send them along toward their destination. While the sincerity of the man remains in doubt, he certainly was a good actor if he feigned his affection for the small boy. He was a man of intelligence and his act of dragging the boys about seemed unworthy of itis active mind. The small boy certainly presented a pitiful appearance as he emerged from the influence of the spasm of epilepsy.

Mrs. W. D. Sayler Suffers Bad Stroke of Apoplexy.

Mrs. William D. Sayler suffered a severe stroke of apoplexy at about 9 o’clock Monday morning and her life hangs in the balance at this time. Mrs. Sayler had a slight stroke six years ago but had entirely outgrown it and lately had been feeling extremely well. She had been washing clothes Monday morning and had asked her husband to run them through the wringer while she looked after some work in the house. She had no more than entered the kitchen until siezed by the stroke and she fell to the floor. He ran to her and placed her on a lounge and a physician was summoned. The present indications are that she can not last very long.

Goughs and Consumption

Coughs and colds, when neglected, always lead to serious trouble of the lungs. The wisest thing to do when you have a cold that troubles you is to get a bottle of Dr. King’B New Discovery. You will get relief from the first dose, and finally the cough will disappear. O. H. Brown, of Muscadine, Ala., writes: "My wife was down in bed with an obstinate cough, and I honestly believe had it not been for Dr. King’s New Discovery, she would not be living today.” Known for forty-three years as the best remedy for coughs and colds. Price 60c and SI.OO. Recommended by A. F. Long.

BURNS TO FIGHT TO AVOID THE PEN

Desperado Will Claim That Wile Shot at Him and That His Act Was in Self Defense.

Hammond Times. Seeing his chances for recovery improve, Hugh Burns, who terrorized the town of Schneider a wefek ago, following a futile attempt to assassinate has wife, is beginning to look forward to the legal defense that he will have to make. For several days now Burns has maintained that his wife tried to kill him on Monday night. He says that she, too, h#i a revolver and that she fired two bullets at him, both of which took effect in his chest. One of the bullets has been extracted. He said that his wife used steel-capped bullets in her gun, and the bullet which was found proved to be such. This so far is the only circumstantial evidence on which his charge is based, but Schneider people say that his wife had no gun, and that he got the bullet from one of the half dozen of guns that were fired at him by the Schneider eitizens when they cornered him in the station.

J. De Long Getting Good Start With Cigar Factory.

About three months ago J. DeLong came to Rensselaer and quietly opened up a cigar manufacturing business. He has advertised some and is meeting with considerable success, but it is probable that many more smokers will use diis cigars when they realize that in doing so they are helping to maintain a local industry. At several times during past years cigar factories were started here, generally with considerable flourish, and all have petered out, while in most of our neighboring towns factories thrive and (employ considerable labor. Mr. DeLong has so far been able to handle all of the business himself, but he will employ assistance as fast as it is needed, and the need will depend upon the extent of the local demanfl for his product. At present he is making only one brand, “The Comet,” which smokers all say is a mighty good 5-cent cigar. Most of the merchants of the city handle it and by asking for the home-made cigar you are not only getting a smoke equal to any other made, hut are contributing to the support of a local industry, which all should be glad to do.
