FRANCESVILLE REAL ESTATE NAN ARRESTED

Charged With Complicity ip Alleged Fraudulent TransactionTaken to Chicago. W. C. Myers, a Francesville man, is charged with complicity with the principals, Joseph L. -Snyder and Samuel F. Hall, of Lafayette, in an alleged fraudulent land deal, by which Leonard A. Busby, president of the City Railway Co., of Chicago, elaims to have been defrauded out of his $25,000 residence in Evanston. According to Busby he had desired to trade his property for Illinois or Indiana land. Myers and Snyder showed him a farm in Pulaski county, about three miles east of Francesville. It suited Busby and the trade was made. The farm was priced at $165 per acre. He asserts that he later discovered that it was worth only SSO per acre. Busby says that he turned over the deed to the Evanston house and Myers and Snyder found Hall as a purchaser so» the farm and the farm was ostensibly turned over to Hall, who was to pay $25,000 in cash to Busby, but Busby got no money and was out both the farm and the Evanston property. Myers and Snyder had the deed to the residence and Hall to the farm. He had the men indicted in Chicago and requisition papers were signed by Governor Dunne, of Illinois, and Governor Ralston, of Indiana, and the men were -arrested at Lafayette and taken to Chicago. The men were released after reaching Chicago and providing for bond and report the arrest a big “joke,” and say that Busby has no chance of making a case against them stick. From their talk, they are very much unconcerned about the matter. They do not say that Busby did not get a trimming, but indicate thatit was only scaserof the "other fellows getting it.”

DISASTROUS BLAZE SWEEPS SHERIDAN

Damage Estimated at $150,000 and Twelve Persons Injured—Bucket' Brigade Was Busy. Twelve persons were injured and damage estimated at $150,000 was done by a fire Sunday afternoon at Sheridan. The injured were members of bucket brigades which were fighting the flames until help from Indianapolis and Frankfort arrived. The Are started in the Waver lumber yard and swept two blocks in the business district. Burning embers, carried by a high wind, set Are to the Wesleyan Methodist church, destroying it and the parsonage adjoining. Several small out-buildings in the outskirts of town alsp we:e set on Are by flying sparks. The Are is believed to have been started by small boys playing with matches in the lumber yard.' It is said the insurance will not cover half of the loss. " One of the most seriously injured was George Osborn, prosecuting attorney, who left a bucket brigade when the Aames attacked his ofllce building and rushed into the burning structure to save some valuablepapers. He was taken from the second story of the building by a ladder after he had been severely burned.

evening. The parties in the automobile thought he was asleep and say he did not pull out of the center of the road. Kupke says he was wide awake and gave more than half of the road. The car struck his left hind wheel and a big spill followed. Kupke was thrown out of the buggy in such manner as to cut a big gash over his left eye. His buggy is said to have been almost completely wrecked. The auto riders were more or less shaken up and one of them is wearing a scratch on his nose. The damage to the machine was slight. A local physician was called to dress Young Kupke’s chief injury, which is a gash over the left eye about an inch long. . . /

Extra Gang es Greeks Is Laying Steel Rails.

Five bunk and boarding cars are on the sidetrack near the old depot location and a gang of Greek laborers employed at laying heavy steel rails for the Jtfonon railroad is quartered there. /The rails are now being laid inside* the corporation. There were eighteen Greeks here last week and several more are expected. It is said that their board is quite meager compared to that required by American laborers. They eat cheap cuts of meat, dry bread and spaghetti, with mighty new nicknacks. They will probably be here two or three weeks.
