BANK SHORTAGE IS GROWING

Shookman Indicted by Grand Jury and Arrested Monday. Delphi. October 9.—The grand jury jn its session today returned an indictment against Ellis E. Shookman, the cashier of the Farmers' State bank of Burrows, which closed itg doors last week owing to a shortage in the cashier’s accounts. The indictment charges Shookman with stealing three gravel road bonds valued at $3,090 belonging to William Guicken. William Guicken and William DeHority were the witnesses for the state. It is likely that other indictments will be returned as the grand jury continues in session. Upon the return of the indictment Judge James P. Wasgon issued a bench warrant for Shookman and when the young man was brought before the court in the custody of Sheriff Popejoy he was offered his release on bail to the amount of $5,000. Shookman was unable to ?ive bail at this time but is expected to furnish the required amount soon.

Many people from Burrows interested in the Shookman case were in the city Monday and all expressed great concern over the fate of the young man and the unfortunate failure of the bank. The people of Burrows find it difficult to believe that a man whom they had trusted and respected as they had Shookman would be capable of such acts. Shookman spent the day in the county jail Sunday and saw no one but his wife and his attorney, C. Robert Pollard. It was reported late this afternoon that the officers of the bank had discovered that the shortage would amount to almost $30,000 instead of $20,000 as was previously supposed. It was also rumored that this was not the first time Shookman had been in trouble in regard to bad notes he had taken but that the matter was hushed up by the directors at that time.

HERE THERE and EVERYWHERE

Henry Baker Brown, president of Valparaiso university, celebrated his sixty-ninth birthday anniversary last Saturday. Students and friends filled his office with flowers and ■ gifts. Mr. Brown founded the university in 1878, going to Valparaiso from Mt. Vernon, Ohio. Falling earth killed two people Saturday. Orville Barts, aged 19, was killed at Plymouth in a cavein at a gravel pit, and Harrison , Baker, aged 27, was killed at Culver when falling earth crushed him, against a steam shovel. Baker is i survived by a widow and three children. The first snow storm of the season visited Lafayette Monday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock, and Receded a shower. Large flakes fell for a few minutes, but melted as soon as they struck the ground. The spidden change in the temperature from Sunday to Monday, was welcomed by many, but to many others the change was quite severe. The Pine Village football team defeated the Elwood eleven at Pine Village Sunday afternoon by a score of 67 to 0. The game was fast and interesting despite the high score, and there were many pretty plays. Pete Morgan, the only man of highclass calibe” on the Elwood team, was injured early in the game and was forced to retire. A dispatch from Valparaiso to the Indianapolis papers states that J. Wesley Johnson, who escaped from the state penal farm a few w’eeks ago, is firmly entrenched on a little island in the Kankakee river and defies capture. A reward of S2OO is offered for Johnson. He is heavily armed and by the aid of his hounds he has driven off several posses which have attempted landing after nightfall.

The Boston Red Sox won the first two games of the world’s series now being played. Both teams are quite evenly matched and many feel that Brooklyn was entitled to the second game. In the first inning Myers for Brooklyn knocked a clean home run with the bases empty. Boston -scored one in’the third inning and another in the fourteenth, five extra innings being necessary to dissolve the tied score.

The well-known Bodleian library at Oxford was augmented by Sir Thomas Bodley. While there had been a university library, it was meager until 1598, when Sir Thomas started to interest many in hie project and by 1602 it contained about 2,000 volumes, and on his death he bequeathed most of his fortune to maintain it. Among others who contributed was Lord Fairfax. Bodley was knighted by James I. Its oriental manuscripts are unsurpassed in the world.

Soldiers at the front in France now enjoy performances of a traveling theater company, financed by a group of philanthropic French people. The entire paraphernalia necessary for these performances is packed in three big wagons which travel from point to point along the lines in France. The plays are given under a modest canvas roof and across the front of the stage are the words, “Theater of the Front.” The scenery is limited to two sets, one an interior, the other a rural scene.

Carl Dallinger, who resides north of Wolcott, had a thrilling experience Thursday afternoon while on his way home. He was going toward Wolcott from the south in a Ford and when near the Monon creek was taken with a dizzy spell. ; He became unconscious and the machine ran wild. If went over the embankments and turned over twice, landing in the creek bed fifteen feet below. Tourists who witnessed the accident hurried to Mr. Dallinger’s assistance, and rescued him from beneath the car. Luckily, he was not seriously injured. The machine was badly damaged.
