- Donovan Pulls a Bonner. Under the above caption the Albion Democrat telts the following story:: Last Friday, while State Highway Policeman Wm. .Donovan, together with Deputy Sheriff E, J. Parker «and the Old Mar: Hereof, were enroute to Oak Park, 111, for the purpose of taking into custody a trio of young auto bandits, Officer Danovan pulled a good one. In fact, it was so good we're going to tell it on _him, L { Just north of Ligonier, we allowed arx Essex coach to pass. At Goshen we took the lead. While Parker was taking on a lot of coffee andalittle gas, the Essex papssed us again. Paei twen Mishawaka and South Bend we caught up with thie Essex. We had al! previously noticed thé car's numiber plates and recognized it as a Noble county car, because of the plates, but we didn't seem to recoggize the driver, who, by the way was most careful and considerate. In fact he was an exceptionally good . driver. iNot fast, or anything like that, but just on the job all the time, ~ Donovan is a pretty good scout, when you get to know him, and he’s always on his toes in readiness to do his duty—and _he doesn’t care a cuss who the “bird” is, either. We noticed, when we caught up with that Essex the time just mentioned, that Bill had 'a hunch he should perform. Of course, there had been considerable speculation in our car as to just what hat particular car was doing, heading so carefully away from Noble county, which speculation may have had something to do with Bill'y determination tp perform. “Just drive up around that bird,” growls Bill to Parker, who was at the wheel, “and we’ll look him over. Parker did. “Pull ’er up” commandd Bill, who, by this time had the door open and was _g;qzﬁig viciously back at the ather car, as he authoritatively waved it in to the curh. ,

“Held ’er and stand ready,” barks 1:ill, ags he swung from the runniig hoard and started toward the now peacefully parked Essex, ' Majestically RBil] storde on and on, swung oper; the coach doar and gazed ferociously at the driver. - Then we noticed Bill stammer and stutter and turny as near pink as hs ruddy complexion would permit. Hurriedly he returned to the car in which we waited. He climbed in, He sat down. He looked like a feljow out with his best girl aryl whose hose supporfer has suddenly decided to let go. “Well?” questioned Parker, , “Huh?” grunts Bill. “Oh, hell; it's Judge Schutt of Ligonier. Shut up, and get going!”’ Unable to Secure Jury. With but six membars remaining of the fifteen drawn in the second venire for jury service in the trial of Verne Martin for the murder last January of Frank Tucker, Warsaw cigar store clerk, prospects of a third venire lpomed. The case is being tried in Whitley circuit court on a venue from Kosciusko county. Oppositoin to capital punishment resulted in removal Pf several prospective jurors, Tucker was believed fo have been robbedand murdered after his disappearance frem Warsaw last January 28. His body never has been found and charges against two other defendants have been dismissed. Martin was implicated in the alleged murder by a signed confession of Martin Ross. *° . ~ Tarkey Prices High, : Thanksgiving turkeys are rare birds this year. The turkey crop is about five per cent smaller than in 1926, the Urited States division of crops and livestock estimates, reported to the Assogiated Press. ' : _ * All states east of the Rocky mountains, except Texas, show a smaller production than last year, with the largest decrease in thestates east of the Mississippi river.- A cold late spring with excessive rains was blamed. , . : : Well Satisfied, Mrs. B, F.
