Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 29, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 September 1908 — TWENTY-FIVE DOLLAR REWARD [ARTICLE]

TWENTY-FIVE DOLLAR REWARD

Is Offered- By Mrs. Dilley for Any I n formation That Will Locate Eugene Dilley. Trafalgar, Ind., Sept. 10, 1908. Mr. F. E. Babcock. Sir:—Will you kindly state in your paper this week that we now offer $25.00 reward to any one locating my husband, Eugene Dilley. The money is deposited at Franklin and if anyone can find him I wish they would notify Hallie F. Musselman of Franklin, Johnson county, Indiana. We traced some man answering his description from Logansport to Wabash county but lost track of him a few days ago. Do you know if there is a man missing from Jasper Cc.? One informant said this man we are after belongs in Jasper county and is a relative of B. J. Gifford, but he answers to Mr. Dilley’s description and acts like he does when his mind is not right. Besides you know we lived in Jasper until seven years ago and Mr. Dilley always taught near Gifford’s farms, but the relationship would let my husband out of it. I should like to know if there is such a man missing from up there for if there isn’t we are undoubtedly after the right man. I wish you could find out and let me know.

Twenty-five dollars isn’t much but I thought perhaps if everyone knows it can be got by finding him some people would be more apt to try. I thank you so much for what you have done. ’ Here is an item that would be of interest to many of your readers as the man is related to Mrs. Etnmarine Israel, Mrs. F. M. Parker and I. D. Walker of Barkley tp., besides a score of others: W. T. Pritchard died at Franklin Sept. 6, 1908, of tuberculosis, aged about 60 years. He was an old resident of Jasper county and taught school up there in the seventies and early eighties. He was married in 1877 to Miss Emma Depew who with four children survive him. Yours Respectfully, MRS. BELLE DILLEY. [The Democrat has heard of no one missing from this county. If any reader knows of anyone they will confer a favor by notifying us or Mrs. Dilley at Trafalgar, Ind. Ed.J
