Mrs. W. S. Parks went to Monticello this morning to visit her sister, Mrs. J. P. Brown, for a few days. Mrs. Emerson Matheny was taken i 0 Wesley hospital in Chicago yesterday afternoon by Dr. Gwin. She is suffering from kidney infection. Her case will be photographed and observed for a few days before any other action is taken.' George W. Royster, of St. Lake came yesterday for a brief visit with his brother-in-law, John A. Dunlap. He has charge of a large block for the International Harvester Co. at St. Lake City, and is back to attend the annual meeing of agents. Mrs. Alfred Collnis arrived here last evening from Bucklin, Kan®., where she has been living for some time. She will probably spend the balance of the winter here with her son, George. Mr. and Mrs. John Collins came down from Chicago this morning and stopped here between trains, going on to Indianapolis, his former home, where he has a new position and will make his future residence. The credit for the arrest of Dan Connors, the Dyer young man who was recently convicted of trying to wreck the fast night train, No. 35> is due to the prompt action of the train*)tian, Ira King. When the train came to a sudden stop and the members of the crew and the passengers got off to see what the matter was King saw a man skulking along the side of the train and step in between he mail and baggage oars. He followed him and asked him what he was doing. Receiving replies that were not satisfactory and knowing that Connors was not a passenger on the train and that he could not have had sufficient time to have reached the tracks from town afer the train tan into the switch King placed him under arrest. He’ was convicted on circumstantial evidence and given a sentence of from 2 to 14 years. Mr. King- is deserving of credit for having placed him under arrest at,once, ferit is quite certain had Connors escaped he would have repeated his efforts to wreck the train and possibly with disastrous results. AH trainmen are given police authority on the trains they operate and on the right-of-way of the railroad. %
