Left Carroil County Poor; Returns Rich From Canada.

Lafayette Journal. Frank Bending, of Medieine Hat, Canada, who was bom and reared in Carroll county, recently returned to the place of his birth and renewed old acquaintances. Years ago Mr. Bending was a poor farmer lad and was compelled to labor long and hard for the bare necessities of life. He finally went to Canada, where he made a fortune and returned to his boyhood friends, a millionaire. He found six who had been especially chummy with him when a boy and took them with him in his big touring car for a tour of the state. In the party are W. F. West, Joseph Keen, Colonel T. J. Clyne, J. J. Reeder, William Scott and A. B. Crampton. They stopped in this city last night on their way to Indianapolis. From there they will go to French Lick and other points of Interest in the state.
