Tells the Causes of Wet Victory in Knox, Starke County.

Francesville Tribune. The town of Knox held a locAl option election last Thursday and voted “wet” by 85 majority. Four saloonkeepers are jubilant over the results while the “drys” are somewhat depressed. Some of the Knox business men were not far sighted enough to take advantage of the opportunity to get some of the $40,000 spent there annually on drink, took a gambler’s chance and voted wet. Many fit the taxpayers were panic stricken and voted wet because the ready license money of $2,500 looked bigger to them than the subsequent reduction of taxes that usually follow in dry towns. The politicians straddled the neutral fence, fearing results in the future political prospective. .And the newspapers in the local option contest championed the comparison of the “dog that bays at the moon but does not possess the courage to scratch its own flees.” All this happened in “spineless” town, Starke county, last Thursday.

BOYS SWIPED SHOES FROM MONON BOX CAR

Marshal Shesler and Detective John A. Hayes Rounded Up Three Who Done Job Here. Orveil Bowsher and Bud Norris spent Thursday night in jail and Elzie Swim would have been there if Detective John A. Hayes, of the Monon railroad, and Marshal Shesler could have found him. The boys are charged with stealing shoes from a boxcar on Wednesday. Squire Delos Dean presided when a preliminary trial was given the boys this Friday morning and they were bound': over to the circuit court. Their bond was placed at S3OO and Norris and Swim gave bond but Bowsher was remanded to jail. The lads made a clean breast of their parts in the stealing and as all have borne good reputations in the past it is / probable that they will be treated with leniency when their cases come up for trial. Wednesday the waycar attached to the southbound local freight was set on the side track near the Standard Oil tanks and the trainmen were at the depot. When Lee was reached

and some shoe boxes were delivered to Jacks Bros, it was found that four pairs were missing from one of the boxes which had been broken open. The trainmen were certain that the box was intact before Rensselaer was reached and Detective Hayes was put on the job. He secured the aid of Marshal Shesler and it was not long until they had a clew as the boys had been seen in that neighborhood. Orveil Bowsher and Bud Norris were found wearing new shoes and they were placed under arrest. They implicated the Swim boy but he could not be found. His father, however, agreed to produce him for the preliminary trial and the boys there made confession.
