0TT0 MILES IS

LANDED IN JAIL

WHEAT THIEF WANTED

FOR GRAND LARCENY IS TRAPPED BY INGENIOUS METHOD AT CHICAGO.

Otto Miles, a young farmer, 30 years of age, who is charged with

stealing a quantity of wheat

from Mrs. Amanda Semler

of Twin Lakes, a couple of

months ago, and being later indicted by the grainl jury and having lied from the state, was captured by a mere accident and brought to this city and lodged in jail Tuesday.

Officials in this citv had beeii.

looking for Miles ever since his indictment three weeks ago. Monday Andy Morsches happened to pass the Adams Express Office and he noticed a familiar looking hound crated for expressage. Upon examining the tag, Mr. Morsches found that the dog was being shipped to Mrs. Otto Miles, at Chicago, by herself. Prosecutor Molter was notified, who telephoned to the Chicago police, telling them to hold the dog from Mrs. Miles when she called for it. until she was identical by her husband, Otto Miles. This was clone and the trap worked admirably. When Miles came to identify his wife he was arrested. Sheriff Voreis went to Chi A go'.' and brought Miles to this city' Tuesday morning. Miles is now lodged in jail, to await his trial. When the alledged theft was made Miles was employed on the Dan Miles farm teaming. While working on Mrs. Sender's farm, he noticed the wheat in an out

building, and later is said to have

stolen it.

MORTUARY

Miss Emma Hillsman. Miss Emma Martha Hillsman died at the home of her mother

on West South street Wednes-

day morning at 11:20 o'clock,

aged 22 years 3 months and 24 days. She had been suffering

from tuberculosis for over two years, and has been failing quite rapidly since her return from Los Vegas, N. Mexico, two months ago. Emma Hillsman was next to

the youngest of a family of seven children, all the rest of whom survive her. They are William J. of Plymouth, Edward of Kokomo, Mrs. Fred Schoner, residing

near Plymouth, Mrs. Harry Langfeldt and Minnie of Plymouth, and Susan, who is at Las Vegas, New Mexico. Deceased was born and raised in this city, attended St. Michaels Academy, was well known, and numbered all of the young folks of the city as her friends. She has been a faithful member of the Catholic church all of her short life. Her summons to the spirit world, although expected, has cast a gloom over her large circle of friends, which will not be easily shaken off. On June 11th of last year with the expectation of bettering her health by a change of climate, she with her sister Minnie, left for New Mexico. The change proved of no benefit, however, aud her health gradually failed. Upon advice of her physician, she returned to her home in this city. She proved a patient and cheerful sufferer throughout her long illness. The funeral will be held at St. Michael's church. Saturday morning at 9:00 o'clock. Interment at St. Michael's cemetery.

To Attend State Convention. Messrs. J. -V. Astley. Emanuel Price. J. W. Parks, J. A. Yockey, and Ed Garn have gone to Indianapolis to attend the Republican state convention.

EXPRESS CO'S MUST CUT RATES

ORDER AFFECTING E NTIRE STATE HANDED DOWN BY RAILROAD COMMISSION GIVEN 30 DAYS TO COMPLY.

By a decision of the Indiana Railroad Commission, which was handed down Monday morning, the receipts of the express companies doing an interstate business in Indiana will, in the reduction of express rates and charges, be reduced by from 10 to 12 per cent, aggregating a total of $100000 in the annual income of all the companies in the state. The express companies are given thirty days in which to put the order of the commission into effect, and litigation in the courts may follow in the event they see a loophole through which they can escape the reduction. The ruling of the commission is one of the most important, the members say, that has ever been handed down, involving, as it docs, every company doing business in Indiana. What action will be taken as to putting the rule into effect was not learned in Indianapolis, as none of the companies has a department in that city that would have jurisdiction in settling such matters. Thq question will have to be takon up in the regal department, and there arc no legal representatives of iny company in that city. The ruling of the commission is the result of an investigation that was started early last fall, when an inquisition into the affairs and the rates exacted by the express companies in Indiana was begun. The question of unfair and exzessive rates arose when complaints reached the railroad commission that there was a considerable excess charged by the express companies as compared with the straight freight rates of the railroad companies, and that there was a discrimination against iomc cities as compared with others. Hearing evidence of various officials followed, and this consumed ovef thirteen hundred ages of typewritten matter. It was upon this testimony and investigation that was made by commissioner William J. Wood into the affairs of the companies that the decision was based upon. Mr. Wood does not mince words in submitting his decision p.nd in writing the opinion of the commission he refers several times to the unfairness of rates that the companies exact. A table which Mr. Wood has compiled shows that the express rate from Indianapolis to Greenfield per 100 pounds is -40 cents, while a first class freight rate, figures compiled from the Big Four rates is but 7..") cents. The rates to other points in Indiana are proportionately large by the express

route, as compared with that of

the railroad companies, according to the commission. The rate to Lebanon, per 100 pounds by the express companies' route, is 40 cents, while the railroad rate is but 12 cents for the same size package. Mr. Wood sets forth that as the volume of business done by the railroad companies throughout the country has increased the rate has always been reduced, whereas there has been no reduction in the rates charged by the express companies for a period of thirty years. The opinion embraces fifty-two typewritten pages, ail of which was compiled by Commissioner Wood. The other members, Chas. V. McAdams and Union B. Hunt, approved of the opinion in its en tirety. In Justice Court. A search warrant was issued for a horse collar claimed to be owned by, Wm. Ormond, and found on the premises of Chas. LaRue. LaRue maintains that he purchased the collar from Iim fath er, who !ought it at a horse sale. A lawsuit will likely result.

CELEBRATE 59TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Coleman Have Been Married 59 Years.

Among the guests present were Mr. ami Mrs. M. M. Lowry, of Hibbard, Mrs. Chas VanCamp and daughter Alpha of Sligo, and Mrs. E. Henney, who resides near Plymouth.

Mr. and Mrs. Coleman, although advanced in years arc in the best of health and expect to hold another reunion on their fiOth anniversary. If the parents of Mrs. J. J. Cole man were alive, they would celebrate their wt'dding anniversary on the same lay. It is doubtful if there are' over a half dozen couples in the county, who have lived to celebrate a 59 th anniversary, and more especially preserved such good health.

Mrs., Roxana Wince and nephew, Omer Clover, of Picrceton, were the guests of Mrs. Chapman Wickizer Wednesday.

Dr. Fred Cramer, veterinary surgeon, was brought into Justice Young's court Tuesday, charged with assault and battery upon the person of Henry Stein. He was found guilty, and not being able to pay his fine, was'committed to jail for eleven days. It seems that the Equestrian M. D. got into a political debate with Stein, which grew quite heatedr The doctor somewhat lost his temper and planted his right fist on Henry's jaw. Stein seized a beer bottle and retaliated on the top of Cramer's cranium.

Mrs. Tabitha Denman. One of Marshall county's old settlers, Mrs. Tabitha Denrnan, died at her home, just east of this city, Wednesday evening at 6 :00 p. m. aged 82 years, 6 months, and 28 days.
