Something to Contest For In County Politica,
There has been un idea prevailing that there was not much up for a political contest in Hancock county this fall. That idea is erroneous. There are good big stakes. The following officers will be voted for: Prosecuting attorney, Representative, Treasurer, Sheriff, Surveyor, County Assessor, Coroner, Commissioner, district No. 2 middle, district No. 3 Western. Which ever party elects two commiisioners will practically control county affairs as they control levying the taxes and the peoples money. Thus people will have an opportunity of placing the control of the county it^ the hands of the Republican party if the so desire. We are satisfied that a little investigation'will cause them to see that it is to their interests to do so.
The Missing Myers Heard From.
The report is current at Elwood that the Foresters have succeeded in getting trace of Thomas Myers, the nephew of Dr. Thomas A. Cox, who after being heavily insured in several fraternities, is supposed to have died at Gem, in this county, last June and on whose account there was a fictitious burial at Clifford. We are sorry the law does not provide means for the ferreting out and punishment of men who t.ttempt such gigantic frauds in this country. The laws are inadequately enforced and so many criminals go unpunished that it encourages others to commit crime. We have had numerous examples of it in this county.
THE CINCINNATI MUROER.
A FOHMEK 6REEHFIGLD MAM OEEPLI IMPLICATED.
.Alonzo Walling a Young Dental Student "Who IiiAed Here Several YeaTs Appears to have bejn iu the tab With Scott Jackacn
when Miss Pearl Bryan Was Killed.
The murder or murderers of Miss Pearl Bryan who was kille1 near Ft. Thomas, Newport, Ky., last Friday night have been apprehended and arrested. It seems teat Miss Ryan who c.»mes of a respectable and well to do family at Greencastle, Ind., had been to intimnte with a lover supposed to be Scott Jackson and had come co Cincinnati to have a criminal operation performed if poss ble to coyer up her disgrace. Once in Cincinnati Jackson it seems determined to get rid of htrentirely by killing h3r. He made a confession in
T,,hich
was com
he says that the murder
L..
1
by his room mate Alonzo
M. Wallinfe ... denial student, who with his mot.'-. ~s. Sarah Walling, lived in this city & years and only last year moved to Hamilton county, O. He last year attended dental college at Indianapolis, and went to and fro on the train He is well-known in this city. While here he was not especially wild but his mother objected to some of the company he kept Walling as well as Jackson made a confession.
He puts the crime on Jackson and says that he was not with Jackson and Miss Bryan in the cab last Friday night. He says Jackson told him Thursday night that he intended to drive over to Ft. Thomas and get rid of the girl and that he did so Friday night.
A colored porter and a bar keeper wlio saw the hack drive away from their saloon, testified that Walling got in the hack with them. The general supposition seems to be that Scott Jackson is the chief criminal. If young Walling was not with him at the time the murder was committed, he, by his own confession, had a guilty knowledge of the intended crime. The feeling is very high against both Jackson and Walling at Cincinnati and Newport.
William Wood, of Greencastle, a son of Presiding Elder D. M. Wood, of the Greencastle circuit, is also implicated in the affair. He was arrested at South Bend and taken to Cincinnati Thursday. Jackson accuses him of having ruined Miss Bryan. He is a second cousin of the girl and advised her to go to Cincinnati to have an abortion performed, and went with her to the train at Greencastle.
He was in communication with Jackson on the subject and his obscene letters found in the room of Jackson and Walling at Cincinnati show him to be a very depraved and vicious young man. Miss Bryan was a graduate of the Greencastle High School, a very pretty girl, and until this scandal came up, was regarded as virtuous and all right. Jackson's mother is a highly respected lady of Greencastle, with considerable literary attainments. His sister is the wife of Prof. Edwin Post, of DePauw University. Jackson is a man of tough reputation and has been in trouble before. Walling and Wood, however, followed his lively footsteps altogether too willingly. The atrocious and terrible crime has cast a deep gloom over Greencastle. where the actors were so well known.
A Noble Young Life Cut Short.
George, sou of Origan and Nancy Snider was born May 6, 1883, and died Feb. 4, 1896, of hemorhage of the lungs after a lingering sickness of ten long weeks. Hi3 short life is numberen in 12 years, 8 months and 28 days. The question comes to us as we meditate on the seemingly untimely death of our^belovtd, "why is it this." The choice of our hearts watched from us when we need him most. But again we whisper "Father thy will be done" George was a patient sufferer never murmuring or complaining though the fiercest pains racked his body his face was always smiling, his voice as cheery as it was went to be. Father, mother, brother and sisters were at all times eager to grant his slightest wish. They almost worshided this noble loving boy of theirs. As a schcol mate we loved and honored him. As brother and son he was ever loving, helpful and obedient. He was often heard to sing '-I love home I love my home." He could at all time outside of school hours be seen helping papa and mamma. He seemed to take great pleasure in being continually at his father's side. So who can wonder that we all miss him so sorely when we look on his toys, books and all the things he loved so weil can hear his happy voice no longer in the school room, at home, or Sunday school but why should we weep o'er his parting for we know it is not for long anu hie pure young soul is with Him who said suffer little children to come onto me. George leaves father, mother, six sisters, and one brother with many other relatives and friends to mourn his loss. But our loss is his gain.
Funeral services at the home by Rev. Finkliner of the Evangelist church and his form laid to rest in Burris cemetery.
