GAME WARDEN ARRESTED

A. M.*Gallion Taken to Ohio Saturday Charged With Wife Desertion. Albert M. Gallion of Logansport, the deputy game warden who was peppered with bird shot by Jamies Haines of Milroy tp., while in company with Deputy James Donley of Kouts he was trying to apprehend Haines for alleged shooting and shipping of prairie chickens in said township, was himself arrested Friday and lodged in jail on the charge of having deserted his wife and child in Miami county, Ohio, some five years ago. A requisition from the gover-, nor was issued and a deputy sheriff from Troy, Ohio, came Saturday morning and Gallion was taken back to the Buckeye state to answer the charge, regarding which he tells an entirely different story than that of the deserted wife, saying that the Child, which was born soon after marriage, is not his own and that the woman continued untrue to him after marriage. In the meantime Haines, the “bad man” of Milroy, is at liberty and it is likely will remain so until someone else files charges against him, it being likely that the present charges of Gallion charging Haines- with assault and battery with attempt to kill will be dropped. v According to a Monticello paper, Sheriff Price, Deputy Davisson and City Marshall Dobbins Of that place went over into. Milroy Thursday to look for Haines, but “from what they could learn they feel pretty certain that their man had been there earlier in the day and that they met men who knew where he was. When they reached the house the family was found to be gone and some of the neighbors , said it had not been over a half-hour since they had been seen to go east in a wagon.” It is reported that 'Haines was in Seafield Friday wearing two huge revolvers on his person to bear out his reputation as a “bad man.”

Greer Bunnell of Wolcott, who ‘owns the farm on which Haines lives, was in town Monday and stated that Haines has left the country and his family was going to pull out yesterday, so the people of Milroy will be relieved of his unwelcome presence in any event. ~f . ' An Indianapolis paper stated yesterday that State Game Warden Miles was investigating the wife desertion charges against Gallion, and if found true he would be dismissed from the! deputy, force.
