Kew Palestine Bank Robbed Thurs­

day Night of Large Sam by a

Smooth Workman.

BIGGEST HAUL OF THE SEASON

Door to Bank and Three Doors to Big

Safe Opened by Burglar—Took

$900 in Silver—Left

on

Hand Car.

Yeggmen made the biggest haul of the season Thursday ight, when the New Palestine bank was robbed of $6,400 in cash by an unknown man or men. The burglary was discovered by Henry Fralich, cashier of the bank, at 7 o'clock Friday morning. The job seems to have been an easy *one for the workmen, as the bank •door and three doors on the large steel safe, which was supposed to be ^burglar proof, were opened without the use of explosives or drills. Although the safe had a time lock, the •combination was worked, the contents of the safe taken and the burglars made their get-away without anyone hearing or seeing anything unusual.

Of the $6,200 cash taken, $900 of it was silver, making a heavy load. Several packages of papers were also taken, but contents are not known at this time. The safety deposit box of Elmer Andrews, a school teacher, was rifled and he thinks they secured about $70 of his money. There may be other small losses.

After the robbery was discovered, an I. & C. hand car was found to be missing. An investigation proved that the burglars had made their getaway on this car, going west to Stop then transferring the car to the C. H. & D. track. It is thought that the burglars went to Indianapolis, going as far as they dared with the hand car.

The Horse Thief Detective Association is working on the case, as are also the police of Indianapolis and other cities. Except for the manner of their escape, there is absolutely no clew as to who committed the burglary, only it is known that two strangers arrived at New Palestine on a late car going west. Nothing was thought of it at the time, however, but it may have some connection with the robbery.

CARRIED $5,000 BURGLARY INSURANCE.

The bank carried $5,000 burglary insurance with the Wood Bros, agency of this city. Mr. Lawrence Wood went to New Palestine as soon as he heard of the loss, on direction of the company's State agent, and the company will render valuable assistance in tracking down ,the burglars, as it is understood they will employ a detective to assist the regular officials of the cities and State.

STARTED BUSINESS ON TIME.

Notwithstanding the heavy loss, the bank started business Friday morning as usual, as soon as money could be hurried to the bank from Indianapolis. The cashier, Mr. Fralich went to Indianapolis to confer with the authorities, while his daughter, Miss Margaret Fralich, who is his assistant, carried on the bank business.

The New Palestine bank has four stockholders, who are Ed Fink, president John H. Binford, Charles J. Richman, and Henry Fralich, cashier. All are good substantial men and the bank has been paying well and doing a good business, being located in the center of a rich farming community.

Alexander Hanley, a business man of Logansport, is in Greenfield calling on his old Civil war comrades and other friends after being absent from the city for forty-five years. He formerly lived here and since he left nearly half a century ago, many changes have taken place. In fact .^Greenfield is practically a new city to him. Only the old Gooding Corner 4 looks familiar to him. This has reilfa mained practically unchanged, except to fall into more pronounced decay with the passing years. f. Mr. Hanley was th6 same com $pany as A, J. Bridges, Edward and 4Joseph Martin and other Hancock county veterans in the Civil war and called on those living in this city, Friday.

New Indiana Author.

A splendid new story of real merit "Thro the Buhrs," by Charles Newton Wilson, of Indianapolis. It is published by The C. M. Clark Publishing Co of Boston, Mass. It is splendidly illustrated and is a romantic novel of generous proportions. That is to say that it contains something of almost every known form of fiction. It reminds one of a department store in which anything may be found if one turns to the right place. The ambitious and kindly intentioned author has so arranged the chapters of this notable book that, by referring to the voluminous and well-or-dered index, one may absorb the story in pellet form. For instance, under Chapter VIII is the followinging explanation: "It's a long lane that has no turni

The author has the distinction, according to the announcement of his publishers, of having prepared the most perfect manuscript that any author has ever sent in to a Boston publisher. This should be a "tip to the literary."

Mrs, Lydia Hutchinson, of Mechanicsburg, Ohio, arrived in Greenfield Wednesday afternoon to make an extended visit with Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Hutchinson, of South Mechanic street.

CASE AFTER GASE

Plenty More Like This in Greenfield.

Scores of Greenfield people can tell you about Doan's Kidney Pills. Many a happy citizen makes a public statement of his experience. Here is a case of it. What better proof of merit can be had than such endorsement?

John Nigh, 519 S. State street, Greenfield, Ind., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from Quigley's drug store, did me more good than any other kidney medicine I ever used. Three years ago I was in such bad Shape with lame and aching back that I was compelled to give up my work for a week. The pains across my loins were so acute that I could not stoop and every move caused sharp twinges to dart throughout my body. The kidneys secretions deposited a sediment if allowed to stand and the passages were irregular and painful. I doctored and took much medicine but I steadily grew worse." I had often read about Doan's Kidney Pills and I at last decided to try them. The third day after beginning their use, I noticed an improvement and it was not long before the pains in my back had disappeared. I am never without a supply of Doan's Kidney

Pills in the house." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo New York, sole agents for the United States.

Complain of Air Guns.

Considerable complaint is being heard about the air guns that children received for Christmas presents. Some of the children seem to be careless in handling them, endangering those about them or on the streets.

A shot from one of these gun struck a woman on East Main street Saturday morning. While she does not want the boy punished in any way, she does want him to be more careful in the future. The mayor also gives warning to the boys to be careful in handling their air guns.

SHIRLEY.

Shirley has celebrated its holidays in fine shape. The visitors from other sections find Shirley a lively little burg.

Harry Collier, teacher at Hartford City, spent the holidays with his parents and other relatives.

Jack Young, of Anderson, is visiting his aunt, Clyde Judd. While Jack was once a Shirley boy, he certainly does enjoy coming back to visit his many little friends and school mates.

Tee Shirley Creosoting Company will receive the dry ties preparatory for the next seasons treating which will resume in the spring.

Dalas Muse, of Toledo, Ohio, is home spending his holiday vacation with his parents and other friends. He is employed at Toledo in the Creosoting business. That plant has closed down until spring.

Vern Dovey, of Kennard, was in Shirley Saturday on business, and looking after the farmers, institute, which is to be held here in Shirley this week. The attendance is expected to be very large with a splendid program of entertainment.

Harry Spangler, of the Spangler Dry Goods Co., spent Sunday at Anderson with his friends.

Wiley George, one of Kennard's oldest residents, was in Shirley Saturday.

Ruby Carroll has resigned her position in the Shirley News and will leave for Illinois to attend school.

Mrs. Ray Pearson is visiting relatives in Danville, 111. Charley Hasting who recently moved to the country on a farm near Knightstown seems to enjoy farmer's life, as reports come in that he is hustling things some.

While the Standard Oil Company's wagon was standing on Railroad street last Friday with the team to it, the Honey Bee gravel train was pulling up to take siding for the passenger trains, ran into the team and backed the wagon into the window of P. K. May's hardware store breaking the large glass and one of the horses front legs was skinned up some.

Mr. Randall and wife spent Sunday with their relatives at Indianapolis Sunday, as there were to be several relatives present from different parts of the country, which seems more like a family reunion, Mr. Randall is connected with the Shirley News as the leading manager of the printing department.

Oscar Smith, who has been for some little time located'in Kokomo, Ind., has been retained by the Shirley Radiator and Foundry Company as one of their chief moulders. Mr. Smith formerly was connected with this company and was one of their dependable men, but by some misunderstanding between him and their manager interest was severed. Mr. Smith left for Kentucky Saturday night to transact some business for his company.

Ask Fred Masterson about those trick cigars, and how much fun he has had is excruciating awful.

The recent thaws seem to make people think that Shirley ought to have those paved streets that have been long talked of, but not yetmade.

Society Events.

The Ladies Home Reading club members entertained their husbands at their annual Christmas party Thursday evening at the elegant new home of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Orr, on Lincoln street. The decorations were in keeping with season. While the husbands attended in the expectation of being entertained, and were not disappointed, it seems that they furnished a greater part of the entertainment, as at the beginning of the evening, songs were pinned on the shoulder of each man and he was required to guess its title from hearing the tune hummed by a lady. That was not all. Each man was required to sing the song pinned to his shoulder, as a solo and then in concert. It was great, the ladies say.

After this demonstration of the vocal- powers of the gentlemen, each was furnished with a generous slip of paper and a well sharpened lead pencil, and required to write a full and complete description of his bride. Well, this wasn't quite fair, for while the minds of some were required to travel backwards only a few months or years at most, others had to see with the vision of a quarter of a century or more ago. When these literary efforts had all been collected for future use, the ladies were ready with something new and still more interesting. The poor deluded men were each supplied with a package, containing the "makings" for a hat, and were set to work. Well, it need not be told that some of the millinery efforts were works of art. Some were otherwise, of course. Each man was given free sway, to perform his task according to his own idea of beauty, fitness and style. Each hat was then numbered to correspond with numbers carried by the ladies, who were required to wear the hat corresponding with her number to the dining room, which was lighted with red and green candles. To say that the ladies were proud of their headgear, would be unnecessary. They were simply "delighted," as was evidenced by proud and pleased expressions, which rested on their countenances. In fact, language is inadequate to describe the exquisite plan and artistic construction of some of these delightful creations.

There were no dull moments, for as soon as the company was seated at the tables to partake of the two-course luncheon of sandwiches, baked beans, pickles, coffee, and ice cream and cake, the discription of bride's written by the men, were produced and while one read them, the others guessed who was referred to in each discription. While some were not at all definite, referring to fairies, visions, etc., it was surprising how many ladies were really able to indentify themselves and of course claimed the proper qualities, features and general appearance discribed in the different pen pictures. Intersperced with the other delightful features of the evening was a musical and literary program given by the children which is worthy of special mention if space permitted. Suffice it to sayjthat the songs and declamations were all thoroughly enjoyed. Altogether it was a delightful occasion in which each one present rendered his or her full share to the entertainment. Especially do the men feel that they were caused to render their full share to the enjoyment of others although they are unanimous in saying they wouldn't have missed it for anything.

Among the happy family gatherings was the one at the home of Almond Wickard. James H.Winn, who was 88 years of age the first of December, was present and enjoyed the dinner and the social features as well as the other guests who were Mr. and Mrs. Atrell Wickard, Mr. and Mrs. David Wickard. Horace Wickard and family.

The1 favors were bon bon boxes in the form of English walnuts. After dinner the evening was spent with music, and a mock trial. This trial was the means of much amusement. Later in the evening they toasted marshmellow's over the Yule log. Among the guests were Morton Binford, Ralph Bruner, Carl Stoner, Sheldon Cooper, Bruce Goble, Helen Hough, Laura Reed, Mary Henley, Eloise and Virginia Cooper.
