Dead-Beat Purtelle Again Heard From.

Eugene Purtelle, the notorious dead-beat railroad* promotor, was in Logansport Sunday, trying to interest the Commercial Club of that city in his pipe dreams. In the meantime people here who cashed several of Purtelle’s worthless checks and furnished him material pn the bluff he put up south o.f town, are still holding the sack. In at least one case . in tin's county he can be brought to time in a way he would not soon forget, and we believe the party owes it to the community at large to push the matter and thus save others from being swindled.
