Jasper County Democrat, Volume 5, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 January 1903 — THEY CAUGHT THE KID. [ARTICLE]

THEY CAUGHT THE KID.

Monticello Journal: vfiheriff George Stephehs and Officer Rothrock returned last evening from Laporte, having in custody Kid Hennessy, of Frankfort, one of the principals in a mill pulled off by Wolcott and Rensselaer sports at Wolcott last November. Kid Landis, the Rensselaer fighter, is said to be in Illinois and the officers think they can locate him when they want him. Hennessy and Landis were indicted by the last grand jury. Last week Messrs. Stephens and Rothrock received a quiet tip that Hennessy was in Kokomo. They made a trip to that city only to learn that the Kid had moved to Laporte. Hennessy will likely remain in jail until court convenes. At Frankfort he has the reputation of being handy with his hands in ways aside from his fistic accomplishments, being light fingered also when opportunity offers. The Wolcott sports were placed on the qui vive by the news of Hennessy’s arrest as it may involve their appearance in court as witnesses against a prizefighter.

'*'Jt is said that some one acted on The Democrat’s advice of a year or two ago and applied to Carnegie for a library for Rensselaer. Andy has at last replied, through his secretary, and offers to erect a $1 WOO library here providing the city will furnish the ■ite and raise SI,OOO per year to maintain it. The proposition will be presented to the city council next Monday evening. X Unless a good, centaal site should be donated, Rensselaer is hardly in financial condition to accept Andy’s offer. Another car load of Occident flour just received, bought before the advance, and we are selling it for a few days yet al 93c. Just as good as others sell for sl.lO to $1.20.
