PLYMOUTH GIRL IS ARRESTED

GOLDIE RIGGINS IS ARRESTED ON A SERIOUS CHARGE AT SOUTH BEND. Prisoner implicates Girl Friend to Whose Shoulders She Tries to Shift the Crime. A falling out between girl chums, which culminated in the throwing of carbolic acid, resulted in Goldie Riggins being arraigned in the city court yesterday at South Bend on a serious charge. Grace Gill, the complainant, alleges that on Tuesday evening she met her former chum, Goldie Riggins, on the street and that the latter threw carbolic acid upon her; that some of the acid reached and severely burned the side of her neck, leaving ugly scars. After Goldie Riggins was arraigned it developed she lacks a few months of being 16 years old and the case was turned over to Probation Officer William E. Miller. The girl stoutly denied having thrown the acid, claiming that Mary Claeys, of Mishawaka threw it, and that the latter told her and another girl, whose name Miss Riggins could not recall, that she threw the acid upon Grace Gill because she was angry with her. GoIdie Riggins, who has an abundance of golden hair and a beautiful complexion stated to the court that she and three other girls were on their way to the interurban station on Tuesday night to take a car to Mishawaka, where they intended to go to a dance, when Mary Claeys, who was one of the party, threw the acid upon Grace Gill. However, the girl professed ignorance as to just when the acid was thrown, and appeared to be unable to furnish any details. The law gives the court much latitude in fixing the penalty in case of conviction of throwing acid, corroding or irritating substance upon another with intent to injure, and a fine of from $1 to $2,000 may be imposed, a sentence of from two to 14 years imprisonment be proclaimed or both, may be imposed at the discretion of the court. The parents of Goldie Riggins formerly lived in Plymouth and recently went to South Bend. Owing to the fact that Probation Officer Miiler was out of the city the girl was placed in the custody of the matron of the county jail pending the return of Mr. Miller, when the case will be taken up in the juvenile court. Horse Thieves Again Busy. The epidemic of horse thieving which is going on in this community continues unabated, despite the best efforts of the authorities. Saturday night a horse belonging to John Weideman was stolen from the hitch racks at Flint lake. The animal had probably been taken several hours before the theft was discovered. The sheriff and his assistants immediately got busy with the telephone and began a search for the stolen outfit, but so far have been unsuccessful. The horse is described as follows: Buckskin mare, 17 years old, weighs 1,150, black mane and tail, white star in forehead, hitched to new rubber tired binggy with top and box painted black and red running gears. The harness is brass mounted. A reward of twenty five dollars is offered for the recovery of the horse and buggy. Pardon Board Appeals Increase. The list of pleas on hand for consideration by the state board of pardons in its next regular meeting, on September 7. is already greater than that considered in the July meeting, when seventy-five cases were reported. Since Governor Marshall became governor a marked increase in the number of appeals to the board for executive clemency has been noticed. The condition is said by the board to be caused by the declaration of the governor that all petitions for clemency must be considered by the board, and as a result, many petitions which were formerly received in the office of the govenor are now sent direct to the pardon board.

W. D. THOMPSON

ANSWERS CALL HAS RESIDED IN MARSHALL COUNTY FOR SEVENTYTHREE YEARS. Was One of Oldest and Most Respected Citizens---Died Early Friday Morning. One of the oldest and most respected of Marshall County's citizens was called in the death of William Dickson Thompson, who passed away early Friday morning, after an illness extending over a period of two years. Mr. Thompson was one of the pioneers of the county, having located near Lake Maxinkuckee with others, very few of whom remain. He was one of the first school teachers in the county, and was one of the patriarchs of the present system. William Dickson Thompson was born in Fayette county, Ind., March 4, 1827, and died at his home, Plymouth, Ind., August 27, 1909, having reached the age of eighty two years, five months and twenty three days. He traced his ancestry back through several generations to his great grandfather, James Thompson, who came to this country from Scotland and settled in that part of the District of Columbia taken off the state of Maryland. Here William Thompson, his grandfather was born in 1776, and in 1798 was married to Miss Nancy Lewis. About 1800 James Thompson and his family moved to Bracken Co., Ky. He and his son, William, were both Baptist ministers, and while on his way to attend a Conference of his church, was drowned in the Ohio River. William, with other members of his family, moved to Fayette county, Ind., where in 1816, he severed his connection with the Baptist church and became identified with the Disciples, of which denomination he was a minister until his death in 1838. He is buried in Union Township, Marshall County. His son, Lewis Thompson, the father of William Dickson, was born December 20, 1804, in Bracken county, Ky., and was also a member of the Christian Disciple church. He was married to Phoebe Lewis Dickson February 27, 1825. Of their children the following grew to maturity: William D., Alexander C, Nancy J., and Julia A., two of whom, Alexander C. of Cleveland, Ohio and Mrs. Julia A. Harsch of South Bend, Ind., are still living. When William D. was nines years old he, with his father and grandfather and their families came to Marshall county, where he has resided continuously ever since. Febnrary 14, 1850, he was married to Miss Amanda Logan daughter of Thomas and Mary Logan of the same county. Seven children were born to them, of whom Francis Meade, Mary Alice aud Lewis Edwin are dead. Mrs. Pheobe C. Willey, Mrs. Eva L. Underwood, Albertus C. Thompson and Olive M. Thompson survive him. Like his ancestors he was in poli tics, a Democrat, and during his life held several offices under that party. In early life he was converted through the preaching of Evangelists Miller and Hoyt, to the doctrines as held by the Church of God. He has been a faithful and constant member of this church ever since and was an Elder in the church at Plymouth, at the time of his death. He died in full faith of the second coming of Christ and the hope of Immortality through a Resurrection of the dead. ACCIDENTALLY SHOT. Double Barrelled Shot Gun Discharged Into Arm and Shoulder of Rutland Youth. A terrible Shooting accident occurred Monday evening, about dusk to Clifford Woldridge, fourteen years old son of Ed Woldridge, who resides 1 1-2 miles $outh of Rutland, when a double barrelled shot gun was attemping to pass over a pair of bars. The entire discharge from the gun passed up the lads arm on the under side striking full in the arm pit passing through the shoulder and came so near the head that it tore off the rim of his hat. Although the boy suffered terribly it is believed it will not prove fatal ard the arm may be saved to him. SPECIAL TRAIN ASSURED.

SAYS ROAD WILL

NOT BE BUILT BREMEN PAPER MAINTAINS THAT PROPOSED ROUTE IS CRAZY. Announcement Has Road Located Regardless of Population or Prospective Patronage. (Bremen Enquirer.) While at Plymouth a few days ago S. S. Perley of South Bend, who has had a very great deal to say at sundry and diverse times regarding an electric line north and south through this part of the country, South Bend and Logansport being generally accepted terminal points, took the public into his confidence once more, and copiously. According to Mr. Penley the line is all arranged for and will be built immediately if not sooner. He says that south of Plymouth it will lead off to Wolf Creek, keeping east of Yellow river, through Rutland instead of Argos, on past the east side of Lake Maxnkuckee, then-away back east again to Rochester, then with another big swing west to Logansport. North of Plymouth the road is not to follow the Michigan road, as first intended, but to Lakeville and Lapaz Junction, keeping east of the Vandalia railroad to avoid the expense of crossings two of which would be required if the Michigan road were followed. Farther north the line is to return to the Mtiichigan road, how ever, and follow it into South Bend, where arrangements are made to enter the city. on line already built. Without intending to say anything to offend Mr. Perley, that story sounds more like a pipe dream than the conservative utterances of a practical railroad builder, or even the talk of a professional promoter; for they usually put some logic or reason into their tales. The road as described by Mr. Perley would be as crooked as a ram's horn, skip good towns and thickly populated country districts to run through others comparatively sparsely settled, and otherwise disregard the things that induce capitalists to loosen their purse strings. It is a good bet that the line will never be built as Mr. Perley is quoted as laying it out unless some millionaire goes crazy and is induced to build it before he is placed in confinement. Veterans to Reune. ;On Wrtine3aj' und Thursday Sep "fernher 13 and 1C, in Chesterton there will be a reunion of members otf the 73rd Indiana regiment, which saw service in the 'war.
