WHISKEY CAUSED BIG LOT OF TROUBLE

W. A. Hoover of Remington Smashed Furniture, Broke Out of Jail and Is Sued For Divorce.

W. A. Hoover, of Remington, who ocedpied the former Ed Peck property, raised a big lot of trouble there last Monday when, after loading up on whiskey he went to his home, demolished the furniture and proved that he was an unsafe man to deserve the confidence and companionship of a wife.

Marshal Rush was called to the home and Hoover planted a blow between his eyes and caused him to beat a hasty retreat. He procured the assistance of the nightwatch and before their arrival Hoover went to a neighbor’s home, where his wife had taken refuge and proceeded to mistreat her. The officers returned and took him into custody and placed him in the calaboose. There he got hold of a bolt succeeded in prying the door off the cell and again returned to his home. The officers again took him back to the Calaboose where he spent the night. The next morning he was fined on two counts, drunkenness and assault, amounting in all to about S4O. George Reed signed his bail.

Hoover’s wife has entered suit for divorce, the complaint 'being filed Friday by Attorney Halleck. Drunkenness and cruel and inhuman treatment are alleged. Hoover is said to comb from a good family and to be a very good man when not drinking. He has been a minister part of his life an<f is said to preach very able sermons. Another divorce case was filed Friday by Attorney Halleck, the plaintiff being Mrs. Lorissa Cheever. Hey husband, Thos. F. Cheever, is the blacksimth at DeMotte and whiskey is also at the bottou of his troubles. His wife was compelled to leave home, it is alleged, 'because of his abuse and is now with relatives in Lowell. Another case filed Friday was that of Jewell Tinsley vs. Clinton May, a replevin action. John A. Dunlap is attorney for the plaintiff.

Mrs. Mary A. Howe Very Low and Recovery Doubtful.

Mrs. Mary A. Howe continues very low with typhoid fever complicated with brights disease and there seems only a- slight chance of her recovery. It was reported Friday evening and again this morning that she had passed away and the report seemed to get all over town, but there was no foundation for it arid evidently it came about through the statement that she was in a dying condition. It is to he hoped that she can recover, for she is an estimable woman and had worked with such deep interest in getting her daughter, Miss Agnes, educated. The latter was a graduate of the high school last june and entered DePauw university only last week and was called home Wednesday by the serious condition of her mother.

JURY FREES WARD IN MURDER CASE

Evidence Introduced Is Circumstantial—Defendant Expresses Intention to Reform Living.

Robert Ward, who was arrested on August 6, near Oxford by the sheriff of Benton county, on a charge of murder returned against him by a White county grand jury, was acquitted of the charge in the White county circuit court at Monticello Friday. The jury was out fifty minutes and two ballots were taken. Ward Was accused of the murder of his wife, who died on February 13, last, after being terribly burned. It was found that her clothing was saturated with coal oil. Her death occurred at their home near Norway, and Ward’s hands were badly burned in trying to extinguish the flames. Ward contended that his wife committed suicide, and most of the evidence introduced by the state was circumstantial. His wife’s parents were the strongest witnesses for the state, and it developed that an enmity had existed 'between them Mid Ward for some time. ,After hearing the verdict of the jury, Ward made a speech in which he thanked them, and said that he intended leading a 'better life.

No New Cases of Smallpox And Indications Favorable.

Rensselaer physicians have been very busy this week investigating the •smallpox scare and believe they are in a position to prevent a spread and say there is no occasion for alarm. John W. Marlatt is getting along nicely and will probably recover without serious trouble. There are no new cases but the physicians have decided as a precautionary measure to isolate two other cases that show some similarity to smallpox, the cases being Mrs. Chas. Shaw on Front street, and John Gallagher on Cullen street. The patients in these two cases are not at all sick but it was decided to be very careful and the temporary inconvenience to which they are placed -will not last long. Dr. M. D. Gwin, city health officer, has issued a statement in this paper which should satisfy all anxiety. It will be the policy of The Republican and also the health officer to give the facts about the disease as nothing can be accomplished by concealment.

MEXICANS AGAIN IN TEXAS RAID

One American Killed When Carranza Forces Cross Border and Looted Progreso Store.

Troops, said to belong to Carranza forces, crossed into Texas Friday night and raided and fired a store at Progreso. Their retreat was covered by fire from the Mexican side and one American soldier was killed and an officer wounded. Five Mexicans were killed, according to the dispatch from Brownsville. Two thousand shots are said to have been fired. This is apt to be somewhat of a jolt to the administration’s latest plan to recognize Carranza as the head of the official Mexican government. As usual, Washington is very calm and is indulging in an extended program of _ and is hoping that something will turn up. Some policy.

HEALTH NOTICE. Rensselaer, Ind., Sept. 25, 1916. There is one undisputed case of smallpox and two suspicious cases that are probably mild smallpox. These cases are isolated so that no infection -ean occur and there is no occasion for any particular alarm if all will co-operate and help to get rid of it is a short time. Suspected cases of smallpox will be strictly isolated and all should be glad to comply with the requirements to prevent a spread of the infection. All authorities on infectious diseases are acquainted with the fact that mild smallpox and severe chickenpox are so similar in symptoms that fast line can not be drawn. This is what occas:ons disputed cases even among physicians, therefore the health department will suspect all cases as being smallpox until otherwise proven. By the proper co-operation among physicians and the people generally an epidemic can be prevented and no unnecessary inconvenience will be occasioned and we will probably avoid the condition of twelve years ago when the secretary of the State Board of Health diagnosed all cases as smallpox and placed them under quarantine for a long time. If we get the proper co-operation he will probably not be called this time. Secretary City Board of Health. Miners inform us that there is danger of a hard coal shortage. Better I let us fill your bins now. “Safety First,” Hamilton A Kellner.

A DARING THIEF MAKES ESCAPE

John Volkcr, Enroute to Reformatory Leaps From Motion Train At Lafayette.

Lafayette, Ind., Sept. 24.—John Zolker, 31 years old, enroute from Crown Point to the state reformatory to serve two to fourteen years for grand larceny, escaped from Sheriff Henry Whitaker of Lake county, here today. Zolker, with two other prisoners, was in charge of the sheriff and two deputies. He was handcuffed to another prisoner and when the Monon train slowed down for the station here Zolker slipped the handcuff, ran to the end of the car and was leaping from the train before the sheriff recovered from his astonishment. The local police and Sheriff Slayback, of Tippecanoe county, joined in the search in the country around Lafayette, but no trace of the convict was .found. Zolker has served several terms in prison, according to the Lake county sheriff. He was arrested at Crown Point a few months ago, after he held up O. Rose in his jewelry store, carrying away S6OO worth of diamonds. The robbery was committed in daylight. Zolker escaped in an automobile. The diamonds were found in the cuff of his trousers after his arrest. Sheriff Whittker offered a reward of SIOO for the arrest of Zolker, who is about 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. Sheriff Ben McColly, of Rensselaer, was accompanying Sheriff Whitaker as a sort of pleasure trip.

Not Necessary For Wolcott To Post Speed Limit Signs.

Remington Press. Speaking of roads, there is a great joke on Wolcott. About the worst roads to be found in three counties is in the town of Wolcott itself, where there is no need or excuse for it. The city dads of that place have put up speed limit notices of 8 miles an hour, when everyone knows that it would simply be suicide to try to drive over them at morf than four miles an hour.

Lafayette Insurance Man And Wolcott Woman In Bad.

The Remington Press tells a story of clandestine relations between an insurance man of Lafayette and a married woman in Wolcott, whose husband returned unexpectedly and made discoveries that caused him to decide that his wife’s marriage vows had been disregarded. He called up the insurance man’s wife and informed her and it looks like two divorces would be started.

D. H. Yeoman Family to Celebrate His Birthday.

D. H. Yeoman will be 74 years o£ age tomorrow, Sept. 26th, and it will be one of the happiest days of his life, for he will have with him all seven of his children and is enjoying the best of health, in fact, he is about as young as any of them. His children are Mrs. Ed Mauck, of Muncie; Mrs. M. Y. Brown, of Thompson Falls, Mont.; Mrs. A. R. Hopkins, of Rensselaer; D. M. Yeoman, of Tab, Ind.; James F. Yeoman, of Ambia, Ind.; Victor P. Yeoman, of Barkley township, and David V. Yeoman, of Union township. Dave will 'be right in his element and although he served through the civil war and wears a crown of white hair, he has kept abreast of the times and will 'be able to Bhow a good time to the fine family of children he has raised.

The Remington Press says that the road between that place and Rensselaer is in a miserable condition and urges that something be done toward its permanent improvement. The Press says that the roads for some reason are kept up much better in White county. The Republican does not believe there is any reason why this should be the case as a general rule, but it is possible that the road mentioned might have more wear than most other roads. It has been found out that it is a mighty hard road to keep in repairs and has had a vast amount of money spent on it during the past few years. Many men who thought they knew something about road repairing have been consulted and yet the road is most of the time pitted and worn so that it is anything but a 'good road. There is a great deal of travel over the road, that being the almost invariably used road for tourists and it is a* fact that tourist cars are responsible for a big lot of the wear on roads. The Republican believes that if this road was properly graded and dressed and then treating to a coating of tarvia it would be a good investment. Certainly some step should 'be taken to put it into better condition and we invite suggestions from readers of this paper.
