WONDERS IF FAWLEY VISITED WHITE CO.

Woman in Liberty Township Frightened by Man a Day or Two Before Pawley’s Arrest The appended article from The Monticello Herald will be of interest because of the mention of Ed Fawley in connection with a bad fright given a lady by a man two days before Pawley’s arrest here. It is not probable that the man could have been Fawley, however, as it is believed he was not outside of this county and at no other places than here and at Fair Oaks after his Return from the asylum and up to the time of hie avrest. The Herald says: „ Mr. Virgil Artist, of Liberty township, accompanied by Mr, R. H. Witcher, was in the Herald office Tuesday seeking information about a crazy man he had heard of being captured at Rensselaer. He thought it might be the same man who frightened his wife a couple of weeks ago, whose prowlings in the neighborhood were mentioned in the Herald of Nov, 27th, The man captured at Rensselaer is Ed Faw ley, of Fair Oaks, and the circumstances do not indicate that he had been roaming far from hornet although it is not impossible. The date of the RenssdaeP episode was Nov. 26th, two days after the occurrence in Liberty township, but the newspaper account of his capture by the sheriff and a football squad says that he had been at Fair Oaks for several dpys prior to that time, keeping vigil over the movements of his divorced wife. He was placed under bond to keep the peace and while looking form lawyer he broke away from the sheriff and ran. The sheriff in giving chase enlisted the services of the football boys, who after a hard battle overpowered hint and he was landed in jail, swearing and fighting like a demon. Mr. Artist says that op Monday night, Nov. 24th, a man appeared from behind a cowshed and approached his wife while she. was milking. He was reaching out to lay hold of her, when she screamed and called to her husband, who was in the barn. He started, out, armed ivith a pitchfork, but the stranger had taken fright and disappeared. The hunt that followed by a posse of mefl was unavailing, and though the prowler was reported at R. H. Witcher’s the night following, nothing has been seen or heard of him since. *This was the night before Fawley’s arrest at Fair Oaks. At last accounts the -latter was still in jail at Rensselaer.

Another U. S. Match Factory Promoter Pays Mysterious Visit.

P. T. Longacher, of Elkhart, who with W. W. Sterling, promoted the match factory, was here Wednesday, as reported by one or two per sons who saw*him driving about in a buggy. Just what he was here for no one seems to know. He was presumed to have disposed of whatever holdings in the factory project to Sterling, et al. President Worland, of the. Commercial Club, states that Longacher did not call upon him and he did not know he had been here until after he had gone. Dave and the rest of the people wonder if there was anything loose and Dave suggested that if there was it is apt to be missing. If he had known Longacher was here he would have kept watch.

SCHOOL HOUSE WELL CAUSE OF SICKNESS

Rumors That It Had Been Poisoned 'Use Discontinued and Sample to Be Examined. Remington Press. A well at the Green school house northeast of town, is supposed to be causing a great deal of trouble, j A number of cases of quite serious illness have occurred which cases have taken on the nature of some kind of poisoning. Just what it is or what has caused it is of the wildest conjecture, but as the cases have all been among the school children it is, considered highly, probable that the wejl at the school house is responsible. The use of the water has been discontinued, the pump handle taken off and a sample of the water sent to the state chemist for analysis. Wild rumors of poisoning the well have been afloat, but this is a driven well 170 feet deep and cased up to the pump. It seems entirely improbable that such was the case. However, the outcome of the analysis is awaited anxiously.
