John Burris Not Guilty of Forging Check Last May.

John ißurris was found not guilty of forging & check on James Snedeker, the Main street grocer. His trial was held at MonticaHo Wednesday and Thursday and John was defended by Attorneys Halleck and Marvin, the latter of Monticello. The circumstances were as follows. On (May <2oth Burns endorsed a check over to Snedeker. The check was daiWn in favor of Louis Oden and was signed Simon Baum. Burris claimed that he had cashed the check for Oden at Newiand, giving him sl3 for it. He claimed that Oden was a foreigner. The check was in evidence and Prosecutor Sands and Prosecutor Brockway, the latter of the White-Carroll circuit court, pointed out a distinct similarity to the way the check was written and endorsed and also showed a check that John had written when he drew a dollar frbm the Trust and' Savings bank account in the name of Ms wife and which they contended was in the same handwriting as the check that was alleged to have been forged. The strange thing about the check was that no one had ever heard of either Louis Oden or Simon Baum and yet John stated that he had cashed a check for Oden without knowing Baum. Mr. Snedeker stated that he had been told by John at the time he took the check that Baum was a prominent onion grower in the Newland fields. Lee' Richards, who was in the store at the time the check was given to Mr. Snedeker, stated that he heard Burris tell Snedeker that he did not know Baum. A trim-ple-minded young man named Godfred, who lives in Rabbit Town, testified that he saw the man named Oden endorse the check to Burris. The state seemed to get Godfrey tangled up quite a little and Ms evidence did not seem very creditable but the jury gave it credence. Several citizens testified that the reputation of Burris for truth and veracity was bad. John was on'the witness stand for about two hours in his own behalf and the state was unable to confuse Mm. John has been in trouble considerable of late and it is hoped that he makes up his mind to follow the “straight and narrow” in the future.

BURGLAR’S NAME IS BARNHART

Young Man Held in Jail Here Identified by Chicago Police—Wanted In Urban a, IIL \ — Willis Barnhart, alias Earl Chase, is the young man pow lying in jail here awaiting trial for burglaries at Kentiland, Morocco, Uibana, 111., and several other places, and is undoubtedly one of a gang of crooks who operate‘along the .C. I. & S, railroad. Barnhart is known to the Chicago police as Chase and also as Blondie. He has been identified through authorities at Chicago, where he has a decidedly bad reputation, their records showing that he generally goes armed and will shoot if necessary. The arrest of Barnhart will probably uncover the other members of the gang and will serve to put an end to the robberies that were so common along the C. I. & S. When arrested in Morocco he had no gun on his person, ana it is probable that he threw it away wMle being pursued by the authorities. He was also minus a watch, but it is known that upon the morning of Ms arrest he stepped into a Morocco jewelry store and set a watch, leading to the beflief that he may have been carrying one of the watches stolen from the McCray home in Kentl&nd, and not wanting to be caught with such positive proof upon him, threw it away also. Barnhart is wanted for buTglary at Urbana, 111., and a dispatch from that city throws some light upon the past history of the putlaw. It reads: “Uibana, HI., Dec. 4.—WiMis Barnhart, wanted for twice burglarizing the flatiron store here last summer, is in jail in Rensselaer, Ind., but judging from a letter to Sheriff Evans from states attorney Reuben Hess, of Kentland, it will be many a day before the authorities,of Champaign get their hands on the young man. The Indiana authorities seem to have enough on Barnhart to send Him up for a long stretch, but promise to let the local officers have him when he gets out.” Barnhart roomed in Chicago with an alleged accomplice going' by the name of L. H. Jones, and said to be a product of Danville, HI. Jones has been arrested and been taken to Chicago, charged with running a “fence.”

“Happy Heinie" Pleased Large Audience at Ellis Theatre.

“■Happy Heinie” more than lived up to all 1 advance notices and the audience that greeted them were liberal in their praise of the company, and ■:it is certain if they ever appear here again a packed house will greet them. There was sufficient plot in the play to keep up interest and this was interspersed with a number of songs by Ben Holmes as Happy Heini§, and Mrs. Holmes, as Miss Leona Fox. Time and again they were encored and forced to stop the play and repeat their songs by the vociferous applause from the audience, and even after the curtain had been rung down the ’ast time they asked more. Mr. Holmes has written a number of songs, among them, ‘‘l Love the Name of Katie”, and a great number of them were brought by the appreciative audience.

EASY WAY TO MAKE HAIR ATTRACTIVE

Ladies May Add to Their Appearance With Little Trouble. Ladies who find trouble in properly or attractively arranging and dressing their hair should try using a little Parisian Sage twice daily for a while and note the remarkable improvement. Parisian Sage, which can be obtained from B. F. Fendig or any drug coutner, makes the hair soft, lustrous, fluffy and wavy, takes out the dull, lifeless appearance, dissolves the dandruff and stimulates the hair roots into healthy normal action Instead of merely sprinkling the hair, it should be rubbed right into the scalp with the finger tips. Parisian Sage is a delightful treatment for both hair and scalp, cannot possibly injure the hair and is very inexpensive.

McCray Club to Be Formed at Newton County Meeting Saturday.

County Chairman R. R. Cummings, of Newton connity, has issued a call to the republican precinct committeemen of Newton county to meet at Brook Saturday for the purpose of discussing the new primary law and to take other initiative steps toward the opening of the coming campaign. Mr. Cummings has embraced in his letter to the committeemen a general invitation to all republicans who find it convenient to do so, to be present at the meeting Saturday. Warren T. McCray, candidate for governor, is making a wonderful campaign and is receiving the greatest encouragement from all over the state. The following is taken from the Kentland Enterprise: “Believing that it is time for Newton county to step in solidly behind him and get in readiness to lend any assistance necessary, it has been suggested that the nucleus of a Newton county McCray dlub be formed at this meeting. There is no question but that Mr. McCray has the indorsement and full confidence of his home county, but that is not sufficient. Organization in his behalf is going on all over the state, and Newton county should not waive the privilege of being the first county to put into active participation in the campaign a live, enthusiastic McCray chA. There is work for all to do and the first act is to give Mr. McCray encouragement that such a <flub will inspire. All those interested in Mr. McCray’s behalf are urged to be present Saturday.”

Hopewell, Va., Boom Town of 25,000, Destroyed by Fire.

At a late hour the flames were still uncontrolled, but it was said that there was little left to burn in the town and the company powder miM some distance away was not believed to be in danger. The blaze started in a restaurant. Fire fighting apparatus from Petersburg and Richmond was rushed by special train but failed to check the flames. State troops were dispatched to the burning town from Petersburg and a riot call issued calling the troops of Hopewell under arms in their ormaiies.
