Mrs. Gertrude Henderson, divorced wife of William S. Henderson, re?l estate dealer of Rochester, Ind., and Bert Van Dien, a Rochester barber, arrested at South Bend on a warrant sworn to by Henderson, were in police court at that city Friday. Waiving arraignment," they pleaded not guilty through- their attorney, former Prosecutor Joseph E. Talbot. William S. Henderson, a real estate man, was the . containing witness. On last Friday Mrs. Henderson, who is a fine looking woman, secured a divorce from .him in the Rochester courts, en fie charge of cruel and inhuman trearment. Since that time the husband has- been anxious for Mrs. Henderson to return to him. She has absolutely ignored him, and as a result he has been seeking vengeance .Monday, in company with Bert "Van Dein, whom she chanced to meet in Plymouth, she -went to South Bend, intending to go to Toledo, O., to live with her parents. She remained over night in South Bend and finding the couple together, the jealous former husband, who charges Van Dein with breaking up his home, thought his time had come. He rushed into the police station and swore out a warrant for the couple's arrest charing associating. When it came time for him to furnish evidence in court, however, he was considerably shy, and the couple were found not guilty. Henderson is a man of large stature bnt despite his immense stature, his entire frame shook as he sobbed following the result of trial: '1 love that woman," he wailed. "I don't want to ee her throw her life away." The court informed him that there was no evidence of any wrong doing on her part. Henderson was also instructed to leave her alone and quit pursuing her and causing her trouble, as their divorce ended her matrimonial affairs. She made senational charges in her divorce against her husband, which he failed to deny, and the sympathy is all with her. Mrs. Henderson left at 10:56 for Toledo. VanDein accompanied her for -protection. Henderson wtis at the station, but the presence of Detectives Keller and Butler prevented him from starting anything. He watched the train a long time as it gradually distanced itself and retraced his steps toward the city with large tears in his eyes. Gave Bad Check. A chck for $15, cashed a week ago Saturday by Charles Nye of Warsaw, has been found a forgery and the officers are looking for a young man who went under the name of D. E. Collins. Collins represented himself to be employed at the Harry A. Butterfield construction camp on the Winona traction line west of Warsaw. He made a $2 purchase and presented his check. The check looked good and as the store had cashed others for members of the construction amp, it was not questioned. The check passed at the bank, and it was not until it was returned to Mr. Butterfield that the forgery was discovered. The check was on the First National bank of Goshen. A Call of the Stork. Friends of Mrs. Mary Patterson Coff3. formerly of Plymouth, at present a resident of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, received word that a daughter had been born to the couple Sunday.

be called in special 'session, to make

.the appropriation. The council is said to be somewhat adverse to making an appropriation for an election uns '1 it is determined what the legislature will do towards repealing the County Option Law. T-e local option workers say that if the commissioners refuse to order an election, a mandamus- proceeding will be brought against that body, to force the calling of an election. Title of the Petition. The title of the petition which was circulated is as follows: PETITION FOR. LOCAL OPTION ELECTION. To ihe Board of Commissioners of the County of Marshall. We the undersigned voters of Marshall county, state of Indiana, would respectfully petition that an Election be held to determine whether the sale of Intoxicating liquors as a beverage, shall be prohibited Signed. Address, and signed by a witness to each signature. The form is legal, and has stood the test of a legal contest. When Saloons Go Out. The law is that the saloons which have received their licenses after the passage of the county option law go out ninety days after an election declares the majority of the voters of the county in favor of prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquor in the county. The saloons which received their licenses before the passage of the law will continue until the xpiration of time of their licenses. The election must be called by the commissioners, for not less than twenty, nor more than thirty days, after the petition has been pas-sed upon 'by the commissioners. The fact that no appropriation was made by the county council to defray the expenses of the election, does not interfere with the holding of the election whatsoever. Thais if the commissioners act upon the petition at their next meeting, which is on February 1st, then the election will be called for some time between the 21st ot February ami the 3rd of March. What the Law Says. ' The law on the Option Election is as follows: Section 1. -Be it enaicted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, That whenever a petition has been signed and filed with the county auditor as hereinbefore provided, praying the board of commissioners of any county for the privilege of determining :by ballot whether the sa.W t intoxicating liquors as a beverage shall be prohibited within the Limits of said county, said 'board of commissioners at its next regular session hall order a -special election to be he'd not less than twenty nor more than thirty days. Such election shall be held at the usual places for holding general elections, and ten days' notice thereof shall be given in the same manner now provided by law for notice of general elections. Section 9. If a majority of the legal votes cast at said election shaAl be in favor of prohibiting 'the sale of intoxicating liquors as a beveridge in said county, then after ninety days from the date of holding -said election, all licenses fox the sale of intoxicating liuuors granted in said county after the passage of this act shall be null and void, and the holder thereof shaJl be liable for any sale of liquors made by him thereafter the same as if a license had never been issued to him; if the holder of such void license shall surrender the same within ninety days from the date of holding said election, .the county, town or city issuing said license shall refund to the holder an amount proportionate with the unexpired time for which the license fee shall have been paid; provided however, That no license issued prior to the passage of this act s.a.U be terminated by virtue of this art or any vote thereunder. County Surveyors of the State. . At a meeting in Indianapolis of a number of county surveyors of the state, an organization was formed with B. F. Gilstrap, surveyor of Washington county, as president, and J. B. Duckworth, of Johnson county as secretary-treasuer.

Postmaster Yockey Instructed to Hold Them if not Bearing TwoCent Stamp on Sealed' Envelop Postmaster Yockey of the Plymouth office, has just received instructions from the postoffice department at Washington in regard to tinseled post cards. The instructions say that tinseled cards must be enclosed in envelopes, tightly sealed and bearing two cent stamp. The instructions say: "All cards bearing particles of glass, metal, mica sand, tinsel, or other similar substances, are unmailable, except -when encloed in envelopes ti'ghtfy scaled to prevent the escape- of such particles, or when treated in such manner as will prevent the objectionable substances from being rubbed off or injuring persons handling the mails. Don't forget fo put on two cents worth of stamps or it will be held for postage." Unmailable Matter. Very frequently the rural carriers pick up pieces of unmai.alble matter and occasionally one is dropp d in at the postoffice and the fact that it is held "for the proper mailing creates much annoyance and many disappointments in its delay. The bulk of the trouble comes from post cards that are covered with tinsel and other cards enclosed in transparent envelopes, whrch the uninformed public buy from unscrupulotii dealers. Tii is can all be avoided if the buyer of pot cards will bear in mind that a card covered with tinsel is unmailable unless enclosed in an envelop, and in which case if the card is written upon will take a two cent stamp, transparent envelopes when used must have the stamp on the outside. Do not cut a hole in the corner f the envelop to expose the stamp as h is also unmailable. Death of Infant Corberley.

SAMUEL KYLE ACQUITTED ON CHARGE OF KIDNAPPING. Judge VanFleet at South Bend Ordered Jury to Bring Verdict of Not Guilty. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Kyle of Dourbon, who were charged tvith kidnapping their granddaughter, by their daughter iMrs. John Phillips slid her husband, were acquitted ol the charge at South "Bend Thursday. After a jury had been obtained and the " evidence heard in the case of Catherine Kyle, charged by her daughter Mrs. Anna Phillips with child stealing, Judge Van-Fleet took the case from the jury and ordered them to bring in a verdict of not guilty, which was done. " Judge Van' Fleet said the "proper method of procedure in the case at hand judging from the evidence introduced would be for the plaintiff to bring haJbeas corpus proceedings in the court at Plymouth, in Marshall county. The charge of concealing a child against 'Mrs. Kyle's husband, Vernon Kyle, was nolle prossed on motion of the prosecutor. The arrest df Kyle and his wife was accomplished by John Phillips of Misha'waka, who claims that the Kyles, who are the grandparents of the child, alleged to have been stolen, came to the Phillips home in Mishawaka 'last September and took the child back to their home in Bourbon, where it now is and that the grandparents are detaining the child against its wi'shes and against the wishes of its mother, his wife. Attorney Parser represented the defendants. PROHIBIT USE OF TROT LINE. Fishermen Complain of Operations With Trammel and Gill Nets Along with Trot Lines. Senator Crumpacker will within the next few days introduce a bill which would prohibit the use of the trotline in the lakes of the state, and the support of State Game and Fish Commissioner Sweeney has been promised it. Friend of the plan to restock the streams and lakes of Indiana with fish will also stand back of the measure. A bill similar to that being preparde by Senator Crumpacker was introduced in the legislature- several years ago, but was defeated by the legislators of central and southern Indiana. Fishermen on the lakes of northern Indiana are taking advantage of the law that permits the setting of trot lines and are using gill and trammel nets, -with the result that thousands of fish are being removed from the lakes eachi week. By sinking a gill net beneath the surface of the water near trotlines, it is easy for the fisherman to run both the net and. line at the same time without fear of detection. Car Being Disinfected. Practically every freight train passing through.

GOVERNOR WILL CALL A SPECIAL ELECTION IN MARSHALL COUNTY

To Fill the U nexpired Term of Representative, Made Vacant by Death of Hon. W. L. Saiber.

Governor Marshall within three days, will call a special election "fn Marshall County, to elect a Representative, to fill thie unexpired term of W. L. Sarber, deceased. After the writs of election have been received by the sheriff, he shall pot notices of the same, and an election must be held after len days of such notice. In this regard the Statutes of Indiana say "A special election shaU be held, Whenever a vacancy shall occur in the office of Senator or Representative during a session or when the legislature will be in session after the occurrenic df a vacancy, and before a general erection. When ever a vacancy happens in the General Assembly except by resignation in the office of a member of the General Assembly while in session, the presiding officer of the proper Hous , shall notify the governor thereof. The sheriffs who receive such writs ordering a special election shall irive the same notice thereof, as is required of general elections: Provided, such notice ma be set up and published All special elections shaJl be conducted, returned, certified, and canvassed, and certificates and commissions shall issue, and shall in all respects 'be governed by the provisions of this law regulaiting general elections, so far as applicable." Situation is Queer. Tne sudden death of Representative William L. Sarber at his home in Arges Saturday afternoon, has developed a queer situation in iMarshall county. Mr. Sarber was pledged to vote for a repeal of the County Lo cal Option law, in the Jegislature, and he was' elected representative, by . bare majority over the Republican candidate, Dr. Charles Brown of Ply mouth. A petition, containing th names of almost half the voters of Marshall county, for a local optiois election, will be filed with the County Auditor tomorrow afternoon. At their meetings th local option sup porters have repeal edV' declared for county local option, and deplored the idea of the law being repealed. Thüs included a large number of influential Democrats, -The -Countv-Chairman, Christian Fisher, is a strong Demo crat, but he has declared against the repeal of the new law. Candidates Must be For Option. Thus it would seem that the candi dates for the office of Representative, o fill the unexpired term of iMr. Sar ber, must be against the repeal of the County Option law. It would seem strangely inconsistent if a Demcrat were elected, who favored the rej eal of the law, and then in a few days, that the county would vote dry, under tie law which they had indicated, they wished repealed. The Probable Candidates. The probable candidates mentioned on the streets '.Monday morning were Dr. Chas. Brown for the republicans and Delbert McKesson, on th demo cratic ticket. Leaders of the two parties have decided on no pran for holding the conventions, to nominate candidates, so far, but it is probable that the nominations will be made m mass conventions. Attend Sarber Funeral. Among those who leüt here Tues day morning to attend the funeral of the late Representative W. L. Sarber, which occurred at Argos this afternoon were, J. C. Whitsell, Ed. R. Monroe. Fred H. "Myers, S. N. Ste-. venst P. J. Kruyer, Percy J. J roycr, Harry L. Unger, Raymond Mefcsker. BAN ON RUNAWAY BOYS Representative Cox and Dixon of In diana Procure Clause That Will Curb Desertions. Representatives Cox and Dixon of Indiana brought about an amendment to the naval bill which will be ap plauded by parents who have run away boys in the navy. It provides that be'fore a boy can be enlisted in the navy he must furnish a sworn affidavit from parent or guardian to the effect that he is 18 years old. In speaing on this amendment, which he offered, Representative Cox said there is not a-n employer in tht United States except the government itself that would employ a boy under 18 without tbe consent of his parent or guardian. He quoted figures to show the large number of boys who get into the navy surreptitiously are responsible for the astonishing num ber of desertions. He thought his amendments woulld result in a more stable class of recruits, which would mean fewer desertions. Representative Dixon of Indiana spoke in favor of the amendment, wfliich was adopt ed. Succeeds Mrs. Ed Keller. Miss Hosteller, a Plymouth young lady, has been selected by the school board to fill tihe place made vacant by the resignation and marriage of Miss Elsie Rizer. She began her duties last Friday. Suit on Note. Charles Zimmerman has brought suit against Edward Kring, on note. demanding $60.

He served only 16 days before stricken by death. He took sick with a severe coJd at Indianapolis, one week ago Friday.

C, and one daughter, Mrs. Roy; Kanoust all of whom reside in Argos. A large number of relatives live irr Marshall county.

MUST HAVE A HUNTING iLICENSE GAME WARDENS TO WAGE WAR ON HUNTERS WITHOUT LICENSES. Rabbit Hunters Without Dollar's Worth of Papr Should Take Due Precaution, Deputy fish and game commissioners operating over northern Indiana are providing themselves with lists ol names of persons who nave taken oa: permits to hunt and a campaign is to be waged against persons caught ' in the act of shooting game contrary to the provision of the game 4aws which specifies that the hunter must nave a permit or license on his person. Deputy game and fish oommissionert John E. Rigney, of Goshen, has obtained a List of the licensed hunters of Marshall county. It is said that there has been quail hunting in this countvj by persons Who have'not taken the trouble to provide themselves 'with the necessary; license but they should be very careful to knqw just -where the boundary line ends. A large number of farmers of' Marshall and adjoining counties have this year posted "no hunting' notices on their places in view of the fact thatcatile have been shot and other damages wrought by reckless shooters. There are certain hunters who stem to be impressed with the idea that once in the possession of a license they ar entitled to hunt anywhere. This is a mistaken idea and hunters should take the precaution to ask the permission of farmers to hunt on their places. EUOENE DILLEY RETURNS, v Had Wandered Aimlessly About for Many Months, Not Knowing His Own Name. Eugene DiHey, of Trafalgar, Ind, who disappeared several months ago and who has been traced from one place to another by Mrs. Dilley, has been found at Jast. He walked into his own home and told his wife that a wonderful change had come over him and that he is all right now. At one time Dilley -was traced to Wabash and was suppoBcd to have gone from that place to Warsaw. Mrs. Dil ley wrote the local newspapers letters in -which she described her husband and in -which she requested that a description of the missing man be published. VALUE OF HORSE $95.
