Ore Eldridge Returns. The sensation of the hour in Monticello today has been the return of Ore Eldridge and his appearance in court when it convened this morning. The Journal was given the tip a few weeks ago that such would be the case. Mr. Eldridge," who went from here when his defalcations came to light, worked east into Arkansas in and came to this state in the early part of June, landing in between Frankfort and Indianapolis. Worry over the possible condition of his family is what brought him back to the state. He was almost crazed and it was feared that he would have to go to a sanitarium for treatment, but after he found that conditions were such as they are with his wife and children, he became relieved in mind and began to improve in health and his friends helped him to a job on a farm. Dr. Gochenour was called to a brother-in-law’s home in Clinton county and consulted by Mr. Eldridgt as to business relations here and Mrs. Eldridge met her husband to lodk after the settlement of the business. Mr. Gochenour then approached the authorities and arranged for the steps taken this forenoon. Ore came to his father's home at Francesville a few days ago and Sheriff Price went up there this morning and brought him back here in time for the opening of court. Attorney George Marvin was on the bench as special judge when the prisoner was arraigned on a grand jury indictment charging the forgery of the names of Messrs. Reiff and

Neal to a note of $6lO which he sold to the Farmers’ State Bank. Mr. Eldridge plead guilty and was sentenced to the State Prison at Michigan City for a term of from two to fourteen years. But few people knew of his presence in town until after he had gone north on the first train to enter at once upon his term. From the way he looks and from what he says about his feelings the man has undergone more punishment now than any ordinary man would care to undergo. He realizes the position he has placed his family in by his misdeeds and is now grieving for them. He says it will not be so hard upon him as he is not here to undergo the trouble. He states tihat Mrs. Eldridge had no knowledge of his misdeeds until his creditors began to push him and that she is entirely innocent. The family has the entire sympathy of the community and with but few exceptions so has Mr. Eldridge. His friends feel that when he is once through with his sentence he will get back into life again and grow to be a power in farming again just as he has been in the past.—Thursday’s Monticello Journal.
