WAS IT REGULAR? DON’T LOOK RIGHT

Man Claiming to Be Internal Revenue Colelctor Made Rich Haul At Parr and Fair Oaks. A man giving the name of J. B. Freeman and claiming to 'be an internal revenue collector and whose transactions have all the earmarks of being a fake made a rich haul in Jasper county Friday. What the total amount of his collections were is not known but at Parr he got SSO of W. H. Myres and $25 of Ed Gilmore, who is in partnership with Perry Griffith. He i:ad also visited the soft drink dealers at Newland, Gifford and Fair Oaks. Freeman informed the dealers that their soft drink products contained more than the percentage allowed for soft drinks ana to'protect themselves from federal prosecution it would bo necessary that they take out a government license and that he was there to see that they did so. He charged Gilmore $25 for the current year. He charged Myres SSO for last year and this year and added $lO as a fine for not having paid his last year’s license during the year. He gave each a receipt on an ordinary sheet of white paper and told them the licenses would be sent to them in about three, days. He boarded the milk train for Rensselaer and presumably took the evening train to Chicago. , ■When W. L. Wood, of Parr, learned of the transaction he pronounced it a frau dand he telephoned the editor of The Republican. Clarence Fate was in the Gilmore store when Freeman called and he shook hands with Freeman and says that he was acquainted with him as an internal revenue collector and remembers that he used to come to Rensselaer as an inspector of war tax revenues, seeing that tobacco, chewing gum, etc., was stamped. Notwithstanding this testimony on the part of Mr. Fate everything else indicates that Freeman is a smooth confidence man and that those who paid him the money are out that much cash. Even if he was right and the men had taken out government licenses this of itself would make them liable under the state laws to prosecution and they seem to be in deep water no matter whether Freeman was a swindler or not.

JACKSON HIGHWAY ROUTED THROUGH HERE

Motor Age Tells of Road Scheme That Will Follow Air Line Route From Chicago South. The Motor Age, a leading motor publication, tells of a! well developed plan to establish the Jackson highway between Buffalo and Chicago and Chicago and New Orleans, La. At a meeting held at Nashville, Tenn., the air line route from Chicago to Indianapolis was definitely selected. This ‘’is the route through this city and Lafayette. The scheme is an extensive one and plans a gteat highway to San Diego, Cal. While much of the present route scheming may be of the air castle variety there is every reason to expect that great improvement to the roads will result and that Rensselaer will be on the main line between Chicago and Indianapolis. However, to assurl this the road througn this county must keep up its repairs and something should be done without delay with the bad strip of road north of Virgie, while the road at Burk’s river crossing needs some repairs very badly.

SEARCHERS FIND ANNA CASEY BODY

Remains of Women Who Jumped From Lafayette Bridge Found Near Durgee’s Run. Lafayette Journal. The body of Miss Anna Casey, who jumped from the Main street bridge about 2:30 o’clock on Sunday morning, Oct. 3, was rescued from the Wabash river near Durgee’s Run Friday morning by Fr a nk and Wm. O’Connor, who had been searching for the body for several days. They had been lifting some brush in the river bed and shortly after noticed the body floating down stream.

The coroner found that the right leg had been broken, supposedly in the fall from the bridge. (Miss Casey had been employed for twenty years a s a waitress 'at the Hotel Lahr. She had been in ill health since April, and her mind was affected.
