Seven Candidates Received I. O. O. F. Encampment Degree.

The county meeting of the I. O. O. F. Friday was quite well attended and seven candidates were given the encampmeht degrees. The Patriarchial Golden Rule degrees were given in the afternoon and the Royal Purple degree was given in the evenig. The work was performed in the latter degreejpy the Monon lodge, the Monticello team having been unable to come owing to sickness of some of the members. A fine dinner was spread at the M. E. church dining rooms in the evening and sevety-six sat at r the tables. The supper was served by the Rebekahs. Charles H. Allison, of Russiaville, grand senior warden of the state, was here and spoke to the members and the entire affair was very successful.

Mrs. Henley, who was arrested at Thayer several weeks ago in company with her sons, Cleve and Claude and her step-son, Fred Huff, was released from jail this morning and went to her home in Thayer. The charge* against herself and the others is chicken stealing and the people of Thayer believe they captured an important bunch when they were taken in. It is said that a search of the premises since they have been in jail resulted in the recovery of other stolen property including a set of harness. Mrs. Henley blames it all to her step-son adn s&ys that she will tell all she knows about his conduct when they are tried at Kentland in September. Mrs. Henley’s bond was placed at S2OO and her attorney, A. Halleck, procured it for her.
