Make It Lively For the Greasy Gypsies Every Time.

A bunch of greasy, grimy, impudent and immoral gypsies passed through Rensselaer Saturday enroute for Chicago and they were moved right along by the officers. Just proper. At Williamsport Monday three gypsy women robbed an old man named John Fox of $22.50. Fox was 80 years of age. The gypsies were camped north of Williamsport. Fox was going along the road and one of the women confronted him and asked what time it was. As he reached for his watch the woman grabbed him and two others came to her assistance and his pockets were rifled and $22.50 stolen. They then gave the old man a shove and told him to keep his mouth shut, but he went to town, reported the occurrence and Marshal Joe Russell rounded up the band, secured Mr. Fox’s money and ordered the gypsies to leave the county.

RENSSELAER MEN CHARGED IN CHICAGO

Alleged Confidence Game Causes Requisition for John A. Dunlap and V. J. Crisler. Special to The Republican. Springfield, 111., Nov. 2, 1915.—Governor Dunne today issued requisition on Governor of' Indiana for return of John Dunlap and V. J. Crisler, who are under arrest in Rensselaer and who are wanted in Chicago on charge of obtaining SSOO from Carrie C. Gensert on July fourth, 1914, by means of confidence game. After receiving the above telegram The Republican called for Mr. Dunlap at his office but was informed that he was in Kentland. Later, however, Mr. Dunlap returned home and a brief interview with him was held over the telephone and he stated that he knew nothing about the alleged charges or on what they were based. It is not a fact that either he or Mr. Crisler have been placed under arrest. Mr. Crisler is now in Montana, where in company with W. J. Wright and Sam Pullins he is spending two or three weeks hunting. Messrs. Dunlap and Crisler dissolved their partnership several months ago and since that time Mr. Dunlap has been devoting his entire attention to his large Jegal practice and Mr. Crisler has been associated with men at Fort Myers, Fla., in the sale of land in that state. It is understood that Mrs. Gensert lives in Chicago and that the alleged confidence game involved the sale of some Jasper county land. The Republican has confidence iD the gentlemen for whom the requisition has been issued and expects that when the evidence in the case is heard that the basis of the charges will be very flimsy.

Siezed With Acute Attack of Appendicitis At Lowell—Operation Not Undertaken. Lyman Zea, well known as an old resident of this city and as the salesman throughout northwestern Indiana of Zea’s Reliable Pain Killer, lies in St. Margaret’s hospital in Hammond in a condition regarded as very critical. He had been canvassing in

the lake region last week and returned home Saturday suffering intense pain in the Region of the appendix. By Monday morning he had so much improved that he went to Lowell to resume his canvassing. In the afternoon he became very sick and a hur-. ried call came for aid from Rensselaer and Dr. Gwin went on the 6:46 train, which was stoipped at Lowell in order that Mr. Zea might be taken on board. It was planned to take him to Chicago but his condition was so serious when Hammond was reached that he was taken off the train and rushed to St. Margaret’s hospital where an emergency operation was at once undertaken. Owing to the very fleshy condition of the patient it was found to be impossible to Complete the operation and word that reached here was that he was in a critical condition. Mrs. Zea and son George went to Hammond on the 10:36 train and since noon a message was received that his condition was such as to justify little prospect for recovery and his son, Chester Zea, went to Hammond this afternoon. Mr. Zea’s age is about sixty years and he has not been in good health for the past year or more. John W. Norman and Charles Leavel and "family returned Sunday evening from a pleasant automobile tnp to Crawfordsville, Danville and Bainbridge.

LOUIS WHICKER AND JOE THOMAS MIX

Quarrel and Fight While ettling Accounts and Thomas Is Very Badly Beaten Up. % Joe Thomas, of near Surrey, was badly beaten up shortly before the noon hour today, Tuesday, by Louis Whicker, of near Mt. Ayr. The men had worked together in the com shredding business and had met in town to settle their accounts. They went to the Little Indian Cigar Store and some disputes about the accounts led to a lively discussion which later settled down to a fair prospect of settlement without trouble, but suddenly there was some loud talking and Thomas was heard to call Whicker a vicious name and then the coats of both men were thrown off and before they could be parted Whicker, who is a powerful man and somewhat younger than his also large adversary, had given Thomas a very severe beating, so severe, in fact, that fye was taken to a doctor and then to his home in the country. Thomas had made several ineffectual efforts to hit Whicker with pool balls, but his aim wAs bad and as the pool balls rained about the poolroom and the occupants were dodging Whicker was planting lefthanded uppercuts on Thomas’ face. After the affray Whicker went to the office of Prosecuting Attorney Sands and talked with him and swore out a warrant for the afirest of Mrs. j Joe Shindeler, of near Surrey, a relative of Thomas, whom he charged with provocation. , Shortly before Mr. Whicker had ! made the affidavit for the arrest of Mrs. Shindeler another affidavit had been filed for the arrest of Ed McFad- ; den, also of near Surrey. The prosecuting witness in the case was Charles C. Parks, who drives the school hack in that neighborhood. McFadden, who is a streetcar motorman in Chicago, has his family living in Newton township and some of the children ride in the hack Mr. Parks drives. He says that he v has had trouble with one of them especially and that the father and mother of the child, an 11-year-old girl, had told him to punish her, which he had found it necessary to do. The driver of a school hack is given the disciplinary authority of a teacher and Parks says that the little girl has been incorrigible and that one day recently he slapped her. He says that he did not strike her in the face, although he expected to do so, but she dodged and he hit her on the shoulder. This caused her father to want to fight and he proceeded to the school hack and invited Charley to come down off his seat and scrap, but Charley was seated so comfortably that he deicded not to get down and when McFadden said in tones known only to a descendant of the Emerald Isle, “It’s a damned coward ye are”, Charley simply said “giddap” to the horses and drove into town and swore out a warrant for McFadden’s arrest. Constable Childers went out after Mrs. Shindeler anjl McFadden at the same time and when they arrive Squire Woodhull I. Spitler’s court will be a very busy one for some time.

Millions of Women wear -v *3.Sofof6ioO v Ask any woman among the millions of women who wear Queen Quality shoes—ask her how she likes them. If she has been properly fitted by a shoe man who knows his business, she will tell you that she has had perfect satisfaction from wearing them. There are many women who have worn Qufeen Quality shoes since the first pairs were made—over 20 years ago. Women who have worn them the longest like them the best. You have a treat coming to you if you have never worn Queen Quality shoes. FENDIG’S FAIR
