J. C. THOMPSON UNDER ARREST IN CHICAGO

International Harvester Man Who * Spent Considerable Time Here Beats Board Bills. J. C, Thompson, who worked for some time for the International Harvester Co., and who spent oonSidetable time at the Makeever hotel, is under arrest in Chicago charged with jumping board bills, and today a still more serious charge will be filed against him, and apparently Thompson stands a good ehiance of being on the inside looking out. Harry Newman, another International man, who makes his home at the Makeever house while working as an expert machinist with Hamilton & Kellner, went to Chicago Thursday afternoon after learning of Thompson’s arrest, for the purpose of filing a charge of obtaining • money under false pretenses against him. j; Thompson quit the International about three months ago and about a month ago returned here and spent one day. He talked glilbly of his prosperity’ and asked Newman to endorse him at the Trust & Savings bank so that he could cash a personal check. Mr. Newman willingly did so and Thompson drew a check for $75 on a Decatur, HI., bank, and received the money. The check came back marked “no funds,” and Mr. Newman hasbeen trying to locate Thompson ever since, but couik' get no trace of him until Thursday, when he learned that he was under arrest in Chicago for defrauding hotels. Thompson was a very pleasant youngman and made friends while here. He did not seem to 'work very much and told several that he was the* owner of a good farm and did not have to work. Something like three or four months ago he met a traveling saleswoman at Mloniticello and It is said they were married three days later. He reported his marriage to his friends here' and told of his plans to live at Detroit, Mich., and engage in business for himself. When-he was here a month ago he stated that he had purchased an interest in a cut glass factory and was traveling for them. He said he had sold his farm and had ordered a $5,000 automobile and was building a SIO,OOO house in Detroit. He said that he was in a business that .would make him many thousands each year and t.iat he proposed to enjoy himself. Mr. Newman states that he gave a check for SSOO when he gave the order for the automobile and that the check was returned because he had no money in the hank. It is also claimed that he has operated under an assumed name and that he procured recommendations wihen he first secured employment with the International by impersonating a man named John C. Thompson, of Moweka, 111. Thompson’s very boyish actions indicate that he is a man of unsound mind. Mr. Newman hopes that he will be able to get his money back but admits the chances are against him.

HANDS OFF MEXICO IS WILSON’S DECISION

Will Not Recognise Huerta Npr Intervene at This Time—Recent Row a “Frame-Up.” President Wilson will neither intervene in Mexico nor recognize the Huerta government at this time, according to dispatches from Washington. It is stated bn what is said to he high authority that no foreign government has asked the United States to intervene, notwithstanding the reports of recent days in which Secretary Bryan refused to be interviewed in the matter, and gave quite unmistakable evidence that such protests had actually been made. The president is said to he convinced that recent anti-American demonstrations were inspired for one of two reasons, either as an effort to enforce the recognition of Huerta or by American capital which is said to he very deßirous of intervention. President Wilson seems firm in the determination that the U. S. shall keep hands off and let Mexico work out its own salvation, which poMcy is all right as long as they confine themselves to the killing of Mexicans, but when Americans are killed and American industries destroyed it is time sot a more drastic policy.

CREDIT GAMBLING AT THE RACE TRACK

Governor Will Probably Send Militia When Next Effort is Made to Conduct Races. Governor Ralston announced Thursday that companies of the Indiana national guard probably will be sent to Mineral Springs to prevent the opening of a second race meet scheduled to begin August 21st, in case h.e becomes convinced tbait the promoters of this track are cognizant that gambling is now going on at the track by means of “an underground system.” Burt New, legal clerk to the governor, had been at the Porter track and in surrounding cities for three days, and on his return immediately made his report to the governor. He said Chicago gamblers were using the Porter race track foj gambling purposes to practically its fulest advantage on what is known as the “credit system.” No open gambling is evident at the track. Mr. New said Chicago gamblers place their bets in Chicago and then journey to the track and cash their bets on their return to Chicago following the races. Governor Ralston said he did not see how calling out the national guard at this late day would he of benefit to the state. The present meet is scheduled to close Saturday. Militfa companies could not be mobilized at the track before Friday night. This would cause an enormous outlay of money to stop the gambling for one day. The governor said he would inv&fcigate the conditions of the present meet thoroughly during the interim between the two meets.

Marshal Had Early Call To Settle Family Troubles.

Marshal Shesler received a hurryup" call at an early hoilr Thursday morning, a neighbor having info nned him that domestic ; strife had again broken out at «h#home of Whitsell Lewis in the northwest part of town. He hurried to the scene, arriving there at about 6:30 o’clock and found evidences of discord, although the belligerents had not started a fistic combat. He acted as a mediator and temporary peace was restored. In the house with Mr. Lewis, who is a veteran of the civil war and 77 years of age, resides his wife and her daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs, Clifford Sumner. It seems to be everybody against the old gentleman when trouble starts and Marshal Shesler says that the stories vary so widely that he don’t know where, to place the blame. Mr. Lewis says that he can get along all right with his wife If the daughter and son-in-law will move out, and Mrs. Lewis says that she won’t stay If the young couple are forced to leave. She says he threatened to kill her with a hatchet and that she fears him. Neighbors generally seem to favor the old gentleman and say that the young people are causing the trouble. It is a problem ’’ln peace making that is too deep for the marshal and will probably require a round in the justice’s court before permanent tranquility is restored.
