The suit was over possession of a cow. | The constable, on our demand for. a jury, had gone down to the saloon below and returned in a jiffy ■with six worthy jurors.

During play, which included the game of Indian, Spindler and Hubbard, were tied to a tree by the older boys, police say. Excelsior -was piled around the youngsters. A match was applied to the pile. But instead of the excelsior burning itself out quickly, oil-soaked ground around the tree sprang into the flame. Unable to break through the wall of fire, the older boys ran for help while the two victims shrieked In agony. Spindler and Hubbard were charred and unconscious when dragged from the burning ground, where they had fallen when the ropes that held them to the tree gave way. At a Spring Lake hospital they regained consciousness for a few moments. “They set firt to us,” was all they told police, just before they died. MRS. E.

spread it on thick. Petty soon we noticed ttyat one of the jurors was weeping. "Heavens, I’m lost, if Billy can make them cry,” I thought. Billy bent his sole attention to the juror, and hammered home his most telling arguments, causing the tears to fall faster. In those days I prided myself quite a bit on my ability as a budding orator, but on this occasion merely started a closing argument as a matter of form, as I thought the case was lost. Singling out Billy’s .Juror, as I got warmed up, I drew dreadful pictures of how that cow’s oWner would feel if he lost the animal he had cherished from calf-hood. Pretty soon, the tears started again. Spec-, tators gasped at my ability, while I am frank to say I was astonished quite a bit myself. The jury retired. In a few moments three big policemen walked In and said,’“We have come after John Jones, who Just escaped from the insane asylum. He’s on the jkry, we found out. You can tell him because he cries easily."

UTILITY RATE WAR SCOREDBY OENRY State Business May Suffer as Result, Warning, That business progress depends in large measure on prosperity* of public utilities, and that clamor against public utilities may influence the public service commission and other judicial bodies and thus handicap industrial development in the State, is the warning issued by Charles L. Henry for the executive committee of the Indiana Public Utility Association. "Indiana public utilities have no quarrel with anybody who wants the cost of living reduced,” Henry's statement declares. "Utility executives are just as anxious as anybody else to cut down expenses all along the line. But we are paying about three times as much for ooaj as we paid before the war, and much more for labor. "If political agitators who fine' it convenient to attack the public utilities could stir up some means of reducing the prices of the things we have to pay for in order to produce utility service, and if they could bring about lower taxes, it would be time to talk of reducing utility rates.” Robbery Suspect Named R. K. Stafford, manager of the Norman Furniture Company, 237 E. Washington St., told police today that $25.50 was stolen from the store Sunday night. He gave a suspect’s name. Forged Checks for $34 (ashed A man presented a bank book and two checks bearing the same forged signature to the City Trust Company. C. B. Murphy, who reported to the police today the man obtained $34.

“First-Hand” Information About Second-Hand Things Some folks shy away from real bargains because they don’t like the word “second-band.” Fiddlesticks! This is a second-hand country, isn’t it? The Indians owned it first. The Leviathan is a second-hand boat. The Germans owmed it once. When you go to the public library you get sec-ond-hand books. They’ve been used before. Shakespeare used second-hand plots. Many a young man is proud to wear his grandfather’s watch —yep, a “second-hand” watch. Violinists prefer to play second-hand violins—the older the better. Many a king wears a “sec-ond-hand” crown. Used cars, used pianos, used refrigerators, used stoves, used furniture are often highly desirable bargains. The Indianapolis Times want ads present choice listings of both new and “second-hand” things. In any case, if the articles suit your needs and your purse, grab ’em. The Indianapolis Times MA in 3500.
