PROMINENT LADIES BEHIND THE BARS
Women and Some of the Men Who Attended Collyer's Dinner, Landin Jail and Sheriff Turned the
Key on Well Known Citizens
The report current Tuesday evening that several prominent and well known ladies and men of this city and Hancock county had landed behind the bars, following the big dinner given by the outgoing treasurer, Philander Collyer, has been verified and, notwithstanding their former good record and high standing in the community, we believe it is due the readers of this paper to publish/the facts' in the case, although the exposure affects our own friends and patrons for many years. One of the sad features of the story is that the host, Mr. Collyer's wife, was one of the prisoners, and she declares this is the first time that the jailer's key was ever used to separate her from her family and friends. This is a fact that will probably not be overlooked in her behalf when further investigation of the cases -is given.
Not only private citizens, but the county officials, sworn to uphold and enforce the laws, were caught in the general round-up, and the new sheriff, Mack Warrum, found that one of the unpleasant? duties of his office was sometimes to lock up liis own friends and fellow officials. The sheriff seemed to bear up well under the unusual strain, however, notwithstanding the fact that among those who were his enforced guests were the county comI missioncrs. Horace Wickard, Wm.
Albea and James II. Iiussell, and their wives II. Iv. Boyd and wife, Lou Williams and wife, Mrs. J. E. Sample, Mrs. Philander Collyer, Mr. and Mrs. Allen Cooper and even the sheriff's own wife, who learned at the beginning of her husband's official life that he was not only lord and master of the household, but was her jailer as well as the jailer of all Hancock county. It was a sad scene for the friends of the prisoners to stand in the jail hall and see hitherto peaceful and law abiding citizens congregated behind steel bars, while probably some members of the families of the prisoners were enjoying the beautiful out-of-doors, unaware of the sad plight of their relatives.
It all happened in this wise: When the big dinner, given by Mr. Collyer was over, the new sheriff invited as many of the guests as would go, over with him and his wife to inspect their new home, Ihe jail. All unsuspecting that any plot had been formulated against them, the above named accepted the invitation and when they had passed through the heavy steel doors to the jail proper, Mr. Warrum quietly closed the door and turned the key. He then suddenly remembered that he was needed elsewhere, so the prisoners were informed, and although Mr. Warrum was sitting in a nearby room, holding his sides and stuffing a handkerchief into hi3 mouth, the female voices in the prison could be heard imploring the congregated curious to send out a searfching party to find their jailer.
It is said that the wives in the group of prisoners promised their husbands with tears in their eyes and with trembling lips to obey them implicitly and willingly in the future and would even bake biscuits every morning for breakfast and turn over all the butter and egg money if they succeeded in getting them out of the scrape and kept it out of the papers. Horace Wickard said he was glad things occurred as they did, as it was the first time he had been able to convince his wife that she promised to obey him on their wedding day.
Card of Thanks.

After each one had eaten to their heart's content and dinner was over several more families gathered in. The parlor door was then opened, and there, to the children's delight, stood a Christmas tree loaded with presents from top to bottom. A program had been arranged, and nearly every child present spoke a little Christmas piece. Songs were, sung and Lessie Bell played several pieces on the violin. After the program was ended, John Wallace was called on to give out the presents from the tree. Every child received a present from Mrs. Stoner and Mrs. Wallace, which they appreciated very much.

All departed for home about 4 o'clock, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Stoner many more happy Christmas. "May Christmas blessings shine and joy and peace be always thine."

Two Iiogs Which Disappeared Many Weeks Ago, Found Wedged Under Corn Pen on Farm in Bush County.
Reporter Free Dictionary Coupon
Living six weeks without food or drink is a record that has never been established in hog circles before, says the Rushville Republican. Two beautiful specimens of porkers belonging to Charles Carney disappeared last fall, and one day recently they were found. They were qbnsiderably reduced in flesh but still were able to grunt. When* the hogs were lost, forty-two days ago, they weighed a hundred and fifty pounds each -JIOW they are nothing but skin and bones, butU$r. Carney believes they will pull through. When the two hogs disappeared Mr. Carney searched in every direction and in every conceivable place where he thought they might be, to no avail. He finally gave them up for lost, believing that they had wandered away. He could get no trace of stray hogs, either. A few days ago he was looking around the corn pens in the field where the hogs were last seen when he heard a faint grunt. To his astonishment he found the animals wedged under the pen. He managed t) dig them out and took them to the barn. He has been feeding them milk and nursing' them tenderly ever since, and thBy are thriving on the restorative treatment.
