Benton Review: Jack Donohue, who bas a red hot reputation in Benton county, Clarence Walker, a mere boy Who has been living with his brother on the Mauzy place in Pine, and Albert Baumas have been arrested iu West Point and lodged in the Tippecanoe county jail, with 'every chance ot going to state’s prison for their escapades. It seems that after leaving Pine last fall, Jack went to Remington and wore out his welcome, and this spring Clarence Walker, only 19 now, and married two years, joined him at Lafayette. His first exhibition of nerve was to take possession of a vacant house without the owner’s knowledge, and having it furnished by the installment furniture men. After three weeks ot quiet the owner got onto this, and Mrs. Walker came to Otterbein, while Clarence raised some money on bogus checks. One for $7 was cashed by a saloon keeper. one tor *25 by a groewryman, and one for $25 was tendered to K a livery man to pay for a rig they were going to drive to Chaliners. but which was afterward found abandoned at Attica. The boys were enjoying themselves at a dance in West Point when taken into custody. Jack was dancing, Albert Baumas, wanted for tearing down a mail box, was helping furnish the music, and Walker sitting beside him when the officers arrived to put an end to their good time. Walker claims that Jack assisted in the check deal, although he passed them, and it is on this ground that the latter is held.

Your team and band are too good for a donation—get the cash.
