SPEND $500 TO FIND LOST HORSE

Taken From Barn Near Cumberland

May 5 and Traced to Cincinnati

Where It Was Sold.

On the night of May 5 a horsethief entered the barn of Chris Ploenge, near Cumberland, and stole his finest horse, a handsome bay. It was taken from the fourth stall in the barn and the straw bedding was scattered over the stone pavement around the barn to deaden the sound as the horse was led away. When missed the next morning Dan Riser, of Cumberland, captain of the Horsethief Detective Association, was notified. He immediately called out a number of men and in one day had over twenty-five members hunting for the horse.

The night before, May 4, when the Ploenge horse was stolen oue was taken at Westfield and on the night of May *2 one was stolen at Veedersburg. But no trace of any of the three were found.

On May 21 Thomas Coon was arrested at Thorntown, charged with stealing two horses from James Damewood and Orth Kirkpatrick. Although he denied the stealing, he was caught with the horses. It wa-s learned he was on his way to Cincinnati with the horses, where he expected to sell them. He was tried at Lebanon and sent to the penitentiary.

Capt. Dan Riser heard of this case and, along with other horsethief detective officers, he went to Lebanon to ask Coon if he stole the Ploenge horse. He confessed to stealing the "VVestfleld and Veedersburg horses, but he denied taking the Ploenge horse. When pressed by other men, he replied: "Boys, I didn't steal all of them."

When Sheriff Magnus, of Boone county, and Clerk Adams, of Lebanon, started with Coon for Michigan City, while on the car between Lebanon and Frankfort, Coon told them that if they would have Mr. Kesterton and another gentleman meet them in Frankfort and agree not to prosecute him after he had served his present sentence, he would, after leaving .Frankfort, divulge to Mangus the whereabouts of the Worses stolen from them. This was agreed to.

They had hardly left Frankfort when Coon told them to go to Cincinnati, take a car to New Town, a suburb, go to Strechler's saloon, then go about a half mile south, when they would come to a barn where the Kesterton horse would be found. Sheriff Mangus followed these directions add found the horse.

Coon denies that he was a member of an organized band, and declares that he worked alone, giving as his reason that by so doing there would be no one to blow on him. He admits that he has served terms in the penitentiaries of both Kansas and Missouri. In Kansas he was sent up for the theft of thirteen dozen pairs of shoes, and in Missouri he appropriated several sets of brass-mounted harness.

Following the clue, Captain Riser went to Cincinnati and found that Coon had sold the Ploenge and other two horses to a stable. At the stable they claimed the horses were sent to Hanover, Pa. Some men went there and the men at Hanover denied the horses were there. They returned to Cincinnati and the Westfield man brought suit for $125 against a man named Goodman. He secured a ver--dict for $85. The Cumberland men will file suit, but expect the man to settle.

In all, the Cumberland association has spent nearly $500 hunting the Ploenge horse, Captain Riser having made several trips to Cincinnati and over Ohio.

It is said" Coon had stolen over twenty-five horses. It was found that he took the first three horses to Cincinnati and sold two. He kept onj for driving around town while he was sporting and spending his money. When the money gave out he went to Boone county and stole two more, .when he was caught.

His photo was taken to Cumberland and several men identified it as a man ^they saw around Cumberland. He ^•claimed to be a horse buyer. He was I seen at Cumberland the day before

the Ploenge horse was taken.

Mrs. P. B. Nichols and son, Bob, have returned to their home in Tipton, after a few days' visit here with ^\£7Mf8. Mary Cleary.

TWO GIRL WIVES

Early Marriages That Proved Unfor­

tunate to Four Young People

That Seek Separation.

Considerable of Saturday morning in the circuit court was devoted to the hearing of two divorce cases. In both of them the complainants were girl wives, one seventeen and the otnep nineteen, and the evidence was similar in both.

Daisy Nibarger in her evidence declared her husband, Abram Nibarger, was unkind to her. They were married in January, 1908, and did ait awful lot af moving about before they separated a few weeks ago. In the two years they lived together they lived on two farms, and in Cleveland, Charlottesville, Greenfield and with the husband's father. Mrs. Nibarger is nineteen years old and her husband eighteen. Their baby died a few weeks ago and the plaintiff said her husband deserted her.

She testified that Abram objected to "Mamma being at our house so much." Mrs. Nibarger is now living with her mother at Shirley. John B. Hinchman appeared-for the plaintiff and Earl Sample for the defendant, who "Was not present. The court took the matter under advisement.

Mrs. Mabel Rix was the other young wife who has found married life devoid of its charms and loyeliness. She is Seventeen years old and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph W. Kinsey, of this city and is now living with them on Pratt street.

She testified that she was a good wife until she became discouraged and may have neglected her household duties to a degree. She also said her husband did not provide for her and she did not have sufficient clothing. Her father testified that he had purchased her two suits of underclothing last winter. Charles L. Tindall presented the plaintiff's case and Earl Sample the defendant's. The conrt said he would look into the case further.

VERDICT FOR PLAIN^F FOR SUM OF (5,000

Second Trial of Suit ^gainst Indian­

apolis Firm Doubles Amount of

Damages Awarded.

The suit for damages against Holliday & Wyon, of Indianapolis by Terry O'Donnell on account of personal injuries sustained by the plaintiff was concluded Friday in the circuit court in this city and the jury returned a verdict* for the plaintiff with damages in the sum of $5,000.

This case was tried here two years ago and the plaintiff awarded $2,500 damages. On appeal the appellate court remanded the case for another trial because of errors in plaintiff's pleadings. It will be observed that the second trial was fortunate for the plaintiff.

George W. Galvin and Jackson & Sample were the plaintiff's attorneys.

MAY KIOW THE HUN FOUND DEAD

The identification of the body of the young man found several weeks ago in a barn near Cambridge City will probably be known in a day or two. Coroner Rramkamp has received a letter from Indianapolis people making inquiry about the body. The description of the body and clothes is exactly the same and fits the description minutely.

The letter also states that this man had often wandered away from home, having a weak mind.

David Ellis, of this city, was in Cambridge City when the body was found.

Hicks on the Weather,

Prof. Hicks says a regular storm period covers the 10th to 15th. Auroral light, phenomenal electrical currents through the earth and on the telegraph lines, with great electrical storms, and natural at this time. Look for sharp change to cooler, when wind shifts to northwesterly with rising barometer at end of the period.

On the 17th 18th and 19th another storm period will quicken the prolonged tendency to daily thunder storms and showers, which condition may be expected through most of this month, almost insuring a prolonged spell of stormy, rainy weather.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY

NEWCASTLE LINE' TO OPEN JUNE 2S

With Hourly Service But No Limited

Cars To Be Put on for a

Month or Two.

"The New Castle Line" is now a live proposition, having an active head, and a real schedule of trains being made up. On Thursday, M. E. Graston accepted the position of general manager of the new line, and his appointment becomes effective June 15th.

Mr. Graston is already figuring on a schedule for both passenger and freight service, and has a time card practically made up. Unless unexpected delays occur iir-iaying and ballasting the new track within the city limits of Indianapolis,regular service will be started Saturday, June 25th.

Rumor has it that Mr. Graston figures on a car leaving Indianapolis at 5 o'clock a.m., running to Maxwell, where it will turn and return to the city, to get working people from the west end of the road to Indianapolis in time to begin their day's labor.

In addition to hourly passenger service, freight cars will go on at the same time, and the road will require eleven crews to operate the cars. No difficulty will be found, however, as there are on file with the receiver a total of more than one thousand applications for positions in various capacities. Many of these are men of experience, some of them now in active service with, other roads, and others who are "new,"but who want to "grow up" with the line, as they expect to expand and become a great system.

UNIQUE ECLIPSE OF SUN TO RE SEEN

Will be Visible to All Observers in

United States Friday, June 17,

Lasting All Day.

On Friday, June 17, there will be an eclipse of the sun unlike any other eclipse within the knowledge of man. The eclipse will be of a very interesting character, from the fact that for a few seconds it will be an annular eclipse then changing to a total eclipse, then back to an annular for the second time. There is no record of any such occurrence in any history of astronomy, although record of annular eclipses for 400 years have been found and of total eclipses for thousands of years.

The eclipse as a partial phase of greater or less magnitude will be visible over the North American continent from the north, decreasing in size as it passes through Canada and the States. It will begin shortly after seven o'clock in the morning and last all day.

Wants To Help Some One. For thirty years J. F. Boyer, of Fertile Mo., needed help and couldn't find it. That's why he wants to help some one now. Suffering so long himself he feels for all distress from Backacke, Nervousness, Loss of Appetite, Lassitude and Kidney disorders. He shows that Electric Bitters wonders for such troubles. "Five bottles," he writes, "wholly cured me and now I am well and hearty." It's also positively guaranteed for Liver Trouble, Dyspepsia, Blood Disorders, Female Complaints and Malaria.

AUTO MADE A TOTAL WRECK

Traction Car Crashes Into a Machine

Near Cumberland Sunday With

Disastrous Results.

Dayton Limited No. 21, in charge of Motorman Frank Furry and Conductor H. E. Jolles, of this city, crashed into and wrecked an automobile belonging to H. P. Henderson on a crossing east of Cumberland late Sunday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Henderson and other occupants of the car escaped injury in the accident by jumping from the automobile when they realized their danger.

Mr. Henderson was returning with the party from Richmond where he had gone to bring a new Wescott automobile to Indianapolis. A contractor who is building abridge east of Cumberland had left the road in a condition that required vehicles to pass over the interurban tracks to get by the excavation. Mr. Henderson drove his car on the tracks, where the engine stopped. He was cranking the motor when the car appeared.

In the rear of the automobile were other machines bearing parties of men and women. They saw the danger and shouted to the occupants of the Henderson automobile, who sprang out to a place of safety. Members of the other parties, witnesses say, waved a danger signal to the motorman, but he did not bring his car to a stop until he had crashed violently into the automobile. A witness said the car was going at a high rate of speed, and that there was a distance of nearly 500 feet at which the motorman could have seen the danger.

Passengers in the interurban ?ar were thrown into confusion by the shock. Some of the women screamed and men arose quickly to leave the car, believing there might have been a serious accident.

The speed with which occupants of the Henderson car hurried to a place of safety is believed to have been aU that prevented a disastrous accident. One of the children is only 5 months old, and the eldest of the other three is 9 years old. Other cars had close escapes at the same point.—Indinapolis Star.
