SIGNS POINT TO LATE FROST.

The first killing frost will not come soon enough to damage the late planted corn,' according to farmers who profess the knowledge to read signs in the appearance of certain trees and vegetation. One farmer said that the alarm about an early frost is needless for he has examined the cockle burr and learns from them that the first killing frost will be late. He said that if the cockle burr ia far advanced at this time of the year there is a likelihood of an early killing frost, but he did not find them in an advanced condition. An frost would damage the cockle burr, he said, and this has never been known. He declared he had watched tiie sign for many years, and had found it almost unfailing in its accuracy;- •

E. Murray Company store here about five o’clock this morning, and with having a stolen automobile in their possession. The young men gave their names aud places of residence as Gerald Hughes, of' Chalmers, Ind., Freddie Hackney, Chicago; James O’Rourke, Chicago; Martin Doyle, Chicago; and Orval Wright, Chicago. They have made.«o confession to either charge, but all evidence points strongly to tiieir guilt And the authorities are certain that the robbery of the Murray store was committed by them. The boys were traveling in a Pan American' automobile bearing an Illinois license plate which was held in place by binder twine, lading to the belief at tost that they had hoped to throw the police off their trail by changing the Ucense plates of the car. This theory, however, was disapated when Sheriff Woodworth learned from the Secretary of State’s office at Springfield, HI., that the number of the car corresponded with the one at that office that had been issued to a Pan American car, the property of a Mr. Erhman. . The Hackney boy had claimed that, the ear the property of hia uncle, A. Hackney, of 3009 Cajumet Ave., Chicago. This fact served to strengthen the belief of the local authorities that the car was a stolen one. , Sheriff Woodworth notified Chief Mooney’s office in Chicago of his capture and an answer came rock from that office telling him to hold the boys and the car pending their arrival. The capture of the young men was brought about by Mr. and s Mrs. Zern Wright, who occupy rooms above the Wright brothers restaurant. - Mr. and Mrs. Wnght were awakened about four-thirty o clock by voices in the alley to the rear of the restaurant. On looking from their window they discovered four boys and an automobile. The machine had been driven to the rear of the Murray grocery store room. A few momenta later followed a tinkling of glass. Mr. Wnght immediately got in touch witii Sheriff Woodworth, but when the latter arrived the youths had already disappeared. The sheriff then got m telephonic communication with suirv rounding towns and later learned from Marshall Geier of Remington that the car and boys had alrMdy passed through that place. Another phone call came later from Marshal Penford of Wolcott announcing the fact that the boys had been captured at that place and were being held pending the arrival of the local Woodworth, in -company with Mr. and Mm. Wright, went to Wolcott where the latter identified the young men as being the ones they had seen a. few hour previous here. They also identified the caj as being the game one they h»<r the Murray store by breaking the window pane in °neof the rear windows. They secured about four •dollars in pennies and nicKeis rrom the cigar case in addition to some cigars and cigarettes. Mr. Wrignt states that they were m the store hut a very short tone and tig When he returned tram theteie*B~g.sas3r?& breakfast at "y*gjL”a3S"_ cott when captured.
