WIFE DESERTER IN LIMBO AT MOROCCO

Erastus Glaze Arrested For Desertion After Death of His 15-Years-Old Girl.

Brook, Ind., Aug. 14.—-Charged with deserting his family and leaving his wife and children to the charity of neighbors, Erastus Glaze was brought here today from Parke county by Alonzo Linton and Claude Sauer who had been deputized as sheriffs. He was given a preliminary hearing in a justice court, with Fred Longwell, prosecuting attorney of Newton county representing the state and was held to the action of the Newton county circuit court. His bond was fixed at SSOO, and, in default of bail, he was placed in the calaboose. He will be kept here until Saturday, when, if he does not give bond, he will be taken to Kentland and will be placed in jail until court convenes next month. Glaze lived witlLhisjfamily near Morocco until last March, when he left home after informing his wife that he was going to Terre Halite to work in a coal mine. He went away without providing for the support of his wife and children and they became charges of the county. Sickness and death invaded the Glaze home, Abbie, 15 years old, the eldest daughter, was prostrated by brain fever, in her delirium she called repeatedly for her father. “If I could only see him,” she mourned, “I could induce him to refuel home and take care of us.” Abbie died on Saturday and the body was taken to Marshall, Parke county, where the interment was made on Tuesday. Messrs. Linton and Sauer accompanied the remains and, when they reached Marshall, learned that Erastus Glaze was living at Judson. They were deputized and arrested him. They say that Glaze was living at Judson with a woman named Melinda Hurst, and that she had deserted her husband and four children to live with Glaze, who represented that he was a single man. The death of Glaze’s daughter aroused much sympathy and indignation here and there is a feeling that he should be punished to the extent of the law, which means imprisonment if pressed.

Princess Packed to See “Twin Brothers" Thursday Night.

“Twin Brothers,” a very remarkable motion picture performance, in which Augustus Phillips takes both parts, was presented to four crowded but delighted audiences at The Princess Theatre Thursday night, and the comments'are extremely favorable about he show. Mr. Phillips never showed to greater advantage than he did in this wonderful picture. Manager George is always after the very best in moving pictures and the packed audiences Thursday night shows the appreciation of the public. Senator Saulsbury of Delaware Wednesday Introduced a bill to increase the salary of the vice president from $12,000 to $25,000 a year. Doubt as to the disposition of the Italian government towards the Panama-Pacific exposition was removed Tuesday by a report to the state department that the Italian chambers had passed an act appropriating 2,000,000 lire for participation in the celebration. Banks which borrow or loan money for speculative purposes will be denied any portion of the $50,000,000 of government funds about to be deposited in the national banks to assist In moving the crops, and the entire amoifnt will go to institutions that earnestly strive to meet the currency demands of the agricultural sections.

CONTRACT FOR SCHOOL HOUSE WAS NOT LET

Bids All Exceeded Estimate and If Not Abandoned Erection Will Be Delayed.

The contract for the erection of the new high school building in Barkley township was not let Thursday, the bids all exceeding the estimate. County Superintendent Lamson was. accompanied to the scene of the proposed building by Attorney Leopold, Architect Robert M. Hyde and one or two bidders. The Estimated cost was $15,000. The bids were as follows: Hill & Stoltz, $21,963. E. M. Rent, $20,926. Snyder Bros., $20,549. J, M. Reed, $19.947. Wiley Bros., $15,942. Snyder Bros, were the only local bidders. It is reported that Wiley Bros, found after their bid had been opened that they were far too low, as they had not figured on the use of plate glass for which the specifications called. It is probable that the contract will be advertised again, but it is not probable that it can be let unless thp estimate is materially increased. It looks as though this new high school proposition was going to prove a mighty expensive luxury and that the cost of construction will raise taxes in townships affected very materially not only during the time the building is being paid for but for its upkeep and the employment of teachers. We have serious doubts if the number who will take advantage of it will ever justify the outlay. <

Local Militiamen To Participate In National and International Military Matches.

The following dispatch from Washington tells of the rifle matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, in which Sergeant Jerry B. Garland, of Rensselaer, is taking part: International interest centers in the rifle matches which open at Camp Perry, Ohio, tomorrow. The trials of skill and eye and nerve, which begin tomorrow with matches of the National Rifle Association of America, the opening event of which will be the thirtyeighth annual contest for the Wimbledon cup for the individual longrange championship of the United States, will\ include also the national matches from August 25 to 29 and the international matches from September 1 to 9. Ten nations will compete in the last named matches, which have been arranged as one of the features of the Perry victory centennial celebration. The event which all riflemen will strive for will be the President’s match on August 21. This match carries with it the individual military championship of the United States, and the winner will receive not only a gold medal, but an autograph letter of commendation from President Wilson. The national matches, which open August 25, comprise events participated in by two teams from the army, representing the infantry and cavalry, as well as teams from the navy and marine corps and teams from every state in the Union, with the exception of Nebraska, Nevada, Idaho, Arkansas and South Carolina. In all there will be forty-nine teams. The national matches will close on- Aug. 29, and on the following day the army, navy, marine corps, and national guard will compete in the United States service match.

The ten nations which will participate in these contests are France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Argentine Republic, Peru, Canada, Mexico, Cuba and the United States. The organzation of international rifle shootng societies of the world voted in France last year to - bring their matches to the United States this year, and the newly organized PanAmerican Shooting Union did likewise, insuring a concentration of all the great international shooting competitions of the world at Camp Perry. Congress appropriated $25,000 for the entertainment of the foreign visitors, this sum being supplemented by $15,000 more from the state of Ohio. Tn the matches themselves, which will consist of team contests with both rifle and pistol, nearly $30,000 in cash prizes will be paid, in addition to valuable medals and works of art. Four teams are now being organzed and trained to represent United States, one for the “free” rifle match of the International Union at three hundred meters, one for the military rifle match of ;he Pan-American Union, another for the Palma trophy match, and a pistol team which will enter the matches of both international unions. The team representing the United States in the pistol matches will be headed by Captain Richard R. Sayre, of the New York national guard. . *

Blames Chewing Gum For Near-Drowning at Edgewater.

Monticello Journal—The crowd from Brook that has been at Edge water the past few days left for home Thursday morning and a party from Fowler arrived to take the cottage. The out going people had a very happy time. One crowd of two girls and a young man thought to do a little fancy boating and borrowed a canoe of the local lads on Second Island. They were not any more than nicely away from shore until over went the boat spilling the occupants Into the river. The young man vows the ladies both shifted their Spearmint chewing wax to the same side at the same time and left their tongues on that side also or he would have had no trouble.

“THE TOWN FOOL” PLEASED AUDIENCE

Harry Green and Company Opened Season With Packed House That Enjoyed Performance.

“The Town Fool,” presented here Thursday night, delighted the crowded house which witnessed it. Harry Green was at his best and the cast worked superbly in his support. Mrs. Green, whose stage name is Lizzie Esher, carried the difficult part of Kate Gordon, a nurse in the Philippines, with splendid spirit. Louis H. Daly did the difficult heavy act as Captain Cromly, of the U. 8. A. and Mark Mando, keeper of the Broken Heart, in a manner that received the approval of all. He has grace, size, voice and understanding of the part and especially in the last act did he show his splendid ability as a diversified actor. His wife, “Chick” Daly, is a clever soubrette, and throughout the play she had the audience handing her burst of applause. Frank Martins did the juvenile part in a pleasing manner. As Lieutenant Creighton, the devoted lover of Kate Gordon, he had a difficult task to prove his innocence when accused by Cromly, a superior officer, of murder. He has a frank style of honesty and loyalty that carried him into favor with the audience. At “The Town Fool” Harry Green is a real cut-up and be has amassed a head full of jokes that he springs throughout the play that keeps the audience n a twitter of delight even during the most serious stages of the performance. For rapid changes from a jovial wag of the town to a nervy and defiant champion of the virtue of women and the honesty of men he can not be equaled and much of the applause was directed at his personal work. Ray Dunakin, as musical director, also made a distinct hit and kept the piano busy between the acts. After the performance Mr. Green and his company were given a luncheon at the Makeever house, Mrs. Fate being hostess. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Fate, Manager Ellis, H. F. Parker and G. H. Healey were guests. Mr. Green was so much pleased with the little affair in honor of his company that he made a touching speech, saying that he thought of making Rensselaer his summer headquarters in the future, and he predicted that the future Rensselaer would be a large city, bustling in activity. The company will return here to close the season on the 2nd day of May, at which time it will play “Eli and Jane.”
