Motorcycle Was Stolen from Tribune Office Saturday Night -Ignorance of Machine Led to Its Abandonment.

Pennsylvania Station Agent, James E. Hanes, received a telegram at 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon announcing that Haroldi Jevne, who is alleged to have stolen a motorcycle in this city Saturday evening, and to have entered the Pennsylvania and L. E. & W. stations, had been arrested by a railroad detective at the home of his mother in Chicago. He will be brought to this city to answer the charge of grand larceny, and housebreaking. When George Hendricks, an emiioe vi the Triotin? went into the rear of the printing office at about 11 o'clock Sunday morning, to -secure, his new Thor Motorcycle, to take a ride, and found the machine had been gone i.'cm the offiice since 8 o'clock Saturday night, and when it was- learned that both the Pennsylvania and L. E. & W. stations had been entered at about the same time, it was. thought at a gang of iprofessonal thieves had visited Fiymoubh. It was known that on- who was no fa miliar with ;ie operation of a motorcycle, could no't have taken the machine which had the park plug removed, and the gasoline siiut off, and get out of town with it. The fact that the discovery fhe theft was not made until late the next morning, gave the thief am ple opportunity to p?it a goodly distance between hrrrfseiif, and the owner al the stolen machine. 'As soon as the t helft was discovered teileiphone and telegraph messages were sent to the surrounding towns, arrd larger cities, with the hope of interceptng the thief.

The floor was. very suitable for dancing, and tiie program which consisted of round and square dances, etc., continued until -well past the mid-nigbt hour. Tne feature of the dance was the grand march. For this the dancer's were asked to join hands and were lead through the basement of the barn. Through narrow passageways, around the Mails, tip and down the stairs the line winded to the horror of the girls and the joy of the boys. At the art of square dancing the city chaps displayed their utm st ignorance, but had a good time nevertheless. Refreshments were erved and cvryone enjoyed; the novel occasion.

that the stolen motorcycle would be taken to Indanapolis, or Chicago, and sold. Tne .first due carne at five o'clock Sunday afternoon, when it wau learned by elephone that a young man or boy, on a gray motorcycle had stopped at the residence -of David Fetters, feven miles north of Plymouth on the Michigan road, and one mile south of Lalpaz. He arrived at the farmhouse Sunday with a bleedingface, haggard anid begrimmed with mud from head to foot. He asked for a glass of milk at th?s farmhouse. Here he related a tale which led to the recovery of the machine. The young man told the farmer that he was running a new machine, one that he had had only, about a week, and that he did not quite understand the operation of it. It had taken him an hour and a 'half to come from Plymouth, he said, and that he was in a hurry to get to Chicago, where he was to iter a snotrcycle race, which it he won was to give him $100. He was said to have gone north from the Fetter' farm. When the above news bva-. .eceived, a posse of five motorcyclists set out in pursuit of the thief. They stepped at the Fetter's farm, and were gven a description of :he theif, which confirmed the suspicions of the pursuers, that the

guilty party was Harold Jevne, aged 16 years, whose home is in Chicago. bait who visits- with relatives in this city frequenulji The toy had arrived in Plymouth Saturday afternoon, and being an acquaintance of the owner of the motorcycle, had asked all manner of ouestions as to it's- operation, how to. start it etc, which were answered unlknow-irtgly by the owner of the cycle. The searchers- continued north toward Lapaz, and a half mile farther stopped and enquired of three ooy-s if a gray motorcycle had passed that morning. The ted who resided in the jJiousc .answered that the mo toTcycle had been stuck there, and had been left jn the bar'n by the rider, who -stated that it -would be called for later, either by horn serf, or by an automobile. The -bam- in which the cycle was found; belongs to Joseph Muff ley, and os about a half mile sxxth of Lapaz. Mr. Muffley was found at Lapaz junction and the barn was opened and the cycle identified. The thief had neglected to supply the motor with lubricating oil and 'the motor had became stuck. -A pint cf kerosene poured into the engine loosened it up, and the machine was as good as ever. The enamel was scratched from the cycle in a few places, the mud guands were slightly bent, and thv connection for the cut out plug, had been removed, and carried away. The machine was ridden back to Plymouth Monday morning. Loafed in Lapaz. Mr. Muffley described the boy perfectly, and a strong conviction is a name written on the tank of the rr.rtrcyde, with a Jead pencil. The name printed thereon ns "H. Jevne." After placing the cycle in fhe barn the young man walked to Lapaz, where he purchased a pair elf trousers, Cranges etc, and enquired at the station concerning trains to South Bend Chicago and Plymouth. No tickets were sold to him ether at Lapaz or at the Junction, "but he disappeared at ten o'clock, presumably on a freight. Depot Robberies. The ticket office at the Pennsylvania station was entered through the ladies waiting axiom at about 7 o'clock Saturday evening but nothing was stolen. The entrance was made by prying out the bnasis grating over the ticket vm'nidow, and escaped by opening the spring lock, on the door into the men's waiting room. Nothing was obtained ether in this office or at the L. E. & W. where an entrance was also forced. The force haing left the station for the nighf. Suspect Jevne.

Mis Efhe Truex, daughlter of Mr. artd Mrs. Ziba Truex, who reside :; 1-2 miles south of this city, writes a very interesting letter describing her expediences in- the recent Missouri flood. Miss Truex has been teaching school in Barlvftfe, III., and had gene to Pattons'burg, Missouri ci a visit, when the smtill tawn. was visited by the flood. When the water had reached a height of 18 feet in the main street, the people were even forced from the second stories of I.-ntses wherein they had taken shel.cr, un-jil there were over three hundred living in a mill. The young lady is a niece of "Mrs. Clarence Slayter ;:" this -city. The letter to this paper f Mows: l'attons.burg Mo., Sunday July 11. Editor Plymouth Tribune, Plymouth, Ind. Supipo.se you have heard about the terrible flood we are having, and t'le hnrdrhips experienced by the sitnicken people, and I can. say that I am j.:st thanklful to be alive for no words can tell what we halve been through.

It is a j.vo story house, there are only a jw in this town, and 1 there were even families ini .the four rooms of Uncle John's upstairs. We ere ivp .-.ere for twemty-four hours without 1 .od or water. 'We got a few things ;'psita'i.rs but the people in rhe one?xory houses lost: everything they had. On Wednesday afternoon the water w-as still rising -four inches an hcoir. The people from the small- cnc story houses were crowded in the mill, school house and hVils up town. We were in hopes we could stay here at nhe house, but Uncle John was afraid it would reach the 'second lory and so he hailed a boat that parsed an'd they took us to the nxill. 1 did not iwant to go to the mill for 1 knew how it would be, but they cidn'it asik me cf I w-anted to go, but just put me in the boat. There were :co people i.i the mill. We stayed there two Jay and two nights -with very little to eat and only a little water to drink, what we had they brought from other towns, part way by rail, then by boat. We h'ad bread a.-.d fat pork and that is what we are s:'in eaiting.and glad to get it. lhere were many narrow escapes, but only one life lost, a man was drowned in Main Street. They got him some way and shut him in a house to keep him from floating a way. When they went ito get him r ext day he was floating in the water Aith some dishes. I saw them take .i im out cf the house. One cti the lumber yards caught lire from the Kme, the drcft floated to a dwelling and set it on fire.

Ia the morning their hands were so cold and cramped that they had to pry them loose frnm the tree. Nut far from here we could hear a won an crying and creaiming all night; tfheürs was onlty a one story house, and the currents were so strong: there they could not get them in th'e boats, so they stood on their tables in the water to their necks, all night.

'Miss Tireux says that she -wiU not forget those experiences all of her life. The cries of people caught in single &ory houses, the enfes of the drowning animals, the roaring of the flood and the burning of a large mill, at midnight imparted a weird and creepy combination of sounds to the imprisoned people. Miss Treux says that never in her ltfe before, had she ever dreamed of joining the bread line, but .Was forced to di so in flood time. People had been without food for thirty; hours, when men in a boat located a potatoe "patch under water and succeeded cn digging up a quality of potatoes from the flooded land. Wen these 'weTe cooked, they were parceled out, and each person received one roastd potato. Cows were swam on higher land and furnished milk for children?. One man, belonging to a rescue party, being thrown in the water from a boat, seized the limb of a tree, and hung cn all night, until rescued by others. He said that in the pale moon light he could see snakes, Tats and other animals perched higher, in the tree. They were frightened 'however, and uneffensive.

"Well Stated. Editor Tribune: Tii your weekly rstsue of July 15," referring to the outlook's characterization of the strife over Prof. Foster's second book you say "Well stated." The outlook says itiu battle of jargons on .both sides. That '.Mr. Foster's arguments (if they may be called arguments, are in a measure hard to be understood there can oe no question, and some thtngs said by his reviewers aTe equally so: but the professor's, denial of the supernatural beg'ttal and birth of Jesus, and his rejection of the -fact oif his resurrection are plainly enough stated for any ordinary mind to grasp his meaning. He simply rejects every thing supernatural found in bible history, thus placing hdmsef in the ranks of infidels of the Voltare, Tom Pain aod Hobbs type. The poor man is without hope and without God in the world. His bible so mutilated is but a human production destitute of divine authority touching the question, of man's salvation. He can not 6et up lor what remains of the old book, the claim of divirte inspiration making it an un fall ible guide to a future life. Such a revelation as the result of a miracle of wisdom confronting Mr. Foster. Its pages of prophecy fortels GckTä consutrated purpose, the redemption of his cMurch. If Foster entertains- a hope of berrug among the redeemed ones cn the final outcome he must rest his hope on a supernatural revelation of God'9 purpose; otherwise it must retsi on the vageries of his own brain. The fact is-, he has utterly shut out a'U. eight touching the future. Expunging from the Bible everything, miraculous leaves it a kind of crazy quilt with nothing coherent, a senseless jargon of words that would defy Mr. Foster's skin to make of it any tilling more than a literary curiosity, fit only for a museum of ancient wonders.
