FORMER PLYMOUTH MAN MURDERED

Enoch Highshew Shot by An Assassin Near Present Home in Mishawaka Early Saturday Morning. EMPLOYED IN NOVELTY WORKS IN PLYMOUTH Was Born and Raised at Bremen and Worked in Novelty Works. Here Until the Failure of that Plant. Enoch Highshew, a well known resident of Mishawaka, formerly of Plymouth, aged 32 years foreman of the pattern department of the Dodge Manufacturing company, was found dead in his buggy in his barn one mile south of that city, with a bullet hole in the back of his head, about 4:30 o'clock Saturday morning by his young son, Cornelius. Highshew was the pattern maker at the odd Novelty works in Plymouth and resided in this city for a number of years, and is well known here. The lad found his father in a half sitting position in the buggy. His head hung out over the rear wheel of the buggy and there was a large pool of blood on the ground. The lad was frightened and ran to the house of Murl Alderfer, who resides just south of the Highshew home. Alderfer ran to the barn and there found the man dead. Chief of Police B. F. Jarrett was notified at once and with the coroner hurried to the home. At noon Sunday very little of importance had been learned by the police, although they have a clew. Where Murder Took Place. The murder took place about 125 feet west of the Austin corners, three quarters of a mile from the house. The assassin, it is supposed, hid behind a board fence and as Highshew drove past, he came from his hiding place and approached the rig. It is thought when about 30 feet from the buggy he fired. The bullet entered the man's head just below the left ear. It is evident at the time he was shot, Highshew was holding his whip in his left hand for it was found on the spot of the shooting with his blood stained hat. After firing the shot the murderer started to run east. When he reached the Union street road he turned north. This is shown by the footprints found early Saturday morning. The horse with its dead owner walked home and entered the barn. The police think that the man was shot without warning. Occupants of the John Chandler home near whose home the shooting took place, heard the shot. One of the women at the home thought she heard some one shout just as the shot was fired, but it is not believed it was either of the two men, as the shout was heard before the shot was fired and should some one have called at the man in the buggy, he would have probably turned about and would have received the bullet in his face. According to the coroner the injured man was instantly killed. The shot was fired at 10:30 o'clock. He fell over the left side of his carriage and was in that position when found at his home. By blood spots found along the roadway it was evident that the horse entered the yard and went into the open barn door where it was found early Saturday morning. Post Mortem Held. A post mortem examination revealed the fact that a 32 caliber bullet had been used. It entered the head below the left ear, and made nearly a complete circle through the mans brain. Cause for the Murder. The police think they have a cause for the murder. It is evident that the deed was not done with the intention of robbery. An examination of his clothing showed $15 in money, a gold watch and other valuables. The body was not touched after the bullet was fired and the deed is thought by the police to have been committed by a man who had an old grudge against him. An examination of the ground about the spot where the murder took place revealed the foot prints of a man wearing a large shoe. They were traced for several hundred yards coming to the spot where the murderer evidently hid behind the fence, waiting for his victim to come. From this spot the ground shows he tiptoed to the road, and then after taking three long step probably a short run toward the buggy, he fired. As he fired he turned and ran east to the crossing ard turned north on Union street. He rounded the corner

on a dead run, as was shown by the dirt thrown up by him in his haste.

Although the police have made no arrests, they are working upon a clew which will in all probability lead to the arrest of the supposed murderer of Enoch Highshew within the next twenty four hours. The clew was furnished by Henry Pelton, a farmer living near the scene of the tragedy. Mr. Pelton came forward with the statement that on several occasions upon his way home, about 10 o'clock at night he had observed a tall stranger standing behind a tree near the spot where the murder took place. Three evenings before the murder occurred, when he was returning home he stated, the unknown man behind the tree shouted to him to halt, calling him Highshew. He whipped up the horse and quickly left him behind. The farmer gave a comlete description of the man to the police, who expect to locate him shortly. Trace Victim's Movements. It has also developed that the murder took place nearer the hour of 12:30 than 10:30, as was at first supposed.. The where abouts of the murdered man have been traced up to 10:45 o'clock on the night of the murder. At that time he entered a grocery store and purchased some provisions. Fron this time until 11:45 his whereabouts are unknown, and if the authorities can find where he spent that hour they claim the solution will be easy. Before the fatal shot was fired, it is evident that the murderer and his victim had a quarrel. People living near the spot where Highshew was shot say that after midnight they heard loud talking. Someone exclaimed, "Now you ----, you shall answer to me for this," and a shot followed. In accouuting for the bullet striking Highshew in the back of the head, the officers think he saw his assailant draw the revolver. As he did so, Highshew slid down in the seat of his vehicle to evade the bullet and received it in the head. Did Not Die at Once. The theory has been advanced that Highshew lived several minutes after the shooting occurred. The fact that so large a pool of blood was found in the barn where the dead body was discovered and this distance from where the shooting took place, leads the officers to think that, after being shot Highshew retained consciousness for several minutes and drove his horse at top speed toward his home. As he reached there he became unconscious and died in the barn. The undertakers stated that the body was still warm when they were given charge of it at 6 o'clock on the. morning of the murder. Unwritten Law is Seen. The body of the murdered man will be buried today. The widow has collapsed and her condition is considered dangerous. The police believe she knows something which she is trying to hide from them but her condition is now such that it is impossible to see her. The unwritten law theory is still being followed by the detectives and police. Mr. Highshew was 32 years of age, He was born near Bremen, Nov. 30, 1877, and has lived near the city nearly all his life. He was married to Maude Ellinger several years ago, surviving him with his mother is a son, Cornelius, who found his father's dead body. He leaves three sisters, Mrs. E. Rottmiller, of Bremen, Mrs. Nelson Haines of Bremen, Mrs. C. Slowson also of Bremen and one brother, Philip Highshew of Texas. He had been employed as foreman of the metal pattern department of the Dodge company for several years and was very popular with his employes, and was an expert workman. Crescent Concert Company. A fair sized audience enjoyed the entertainment given Thursday evening by ithe Crescent Concert Cb. at the Reformed church The company -was composed of four young ladies, a soloist, violinist, pianist and reader. Each lady was an artist in her line, and they entertainekl their au'dience for two hours with selections of the highest class. Licenses Are Denied. Without comment, the Deleware county commissioners have turned down the applications of eleven saloon keepers for licenses to continue their business, the county having been voted "dry." On the sixteenth day of the present month Muncie will be without a licensed saloon. Assembly Hotel Traded. An exchange of properties has been made by which fc. H. Kalston of Culver turns in his hotel to S. E. Reeves of Plymouth, on a piece of farm lan'J on the Tip pecanoe river in Fulton county. The deeds have not yet passed, but the contract has been signed.

GOOSE-NECK LIGHT MERITS APPROVAL

Light is Turned On Sample of New Lamp Erected on Corner of Michigan and LaPorte Streets. INSTALLATION OF SYSTEM POSSIBLE Would Mean Erection of One Light Every , Sixty Feet on Both Sides for Four Blocks Council Would Maintain. The sample of the new "Goose Xeck" light, .which was installed on ithe corner of Michigan and LaPorte streets by Messrs Chas. Reynolds and C. A. Reeve, was lighted Thursday evening, and excited favorable comment on the part of business men, and citizens. Many of- the merchants have expressed their willngness to contribute, to the installation of a complete system in the city. The new system as planned by a committee of Plymouth business men, who visited Mishawaka a couple of months ago to see the working of the new lights, would be to run -the lights from a point sixtv feet north of Marks, Grube nd Harle v's hardware store, on north Michigan street, south to the Michigan street bridge, and on LaPorte street from Michigan street to the Pennsylvania sta tion. The lights are to be install ed on hck sides of the street, at a distance of sixty feet apart. The hghts on.the corners consist of five lights ,and those through the remainder of the block to consist of four lamps. On each corner, four lamps are to be installed, on each of.the four corners. A total of about forty-two lamp posts 'would be requireM to light the business district of Plymouth in this manner, of these, sixteen would be the corner, on five-light posts. Cost of Lights. "The cost of installation of the now lights, is estimated at $1.23 per running foot. The plan is to install the lamps, by subscriptions from the business and professional men, and then turn the system over to the city, which will maintain the lighting and renewals of the system. The total amount of current burned by the new system would amount to about $50 per month, from which a small amount would be deducted by arc lamps, not burned. The cost of each lamp post, would be abotilt 3 1-2 cents per night, burning four hours, frbim 7 :00 to 11 :00 p. m. and an hour earlier in the winter time. The corner lamps would cbst about $18, and the other lamps $12 per year. It is said that the councilmen-elect have stated that they will vote to maintain the new system, shoufld it be installed. Is Business Getter. It is said, that besides being a business getter, the new system of lighting, livens up the city, brings the people to town etc.. and once installed is lik a pavement it would not be given up. Witfli the tungsten, or "GooseXeck" system, the . streets are turned from night to day, newspa'pcTS can bejea'd in the mitiMle of the street at any place and the city where so lighted is transformed into a different night appearance.

IRK OF EXCAVATION ON INTERURH LINE

Gang of Men and Teams Begin Work North of City at Noon Monday Surveying Completed to South Bend.

A gang of seven teams, and twelve men, began work excavating for the right of way of the South Bend and Logansport Traction Co., on the Michigan road north of the city limits Monday. 'Hie work started on the refmoval of an embankment just north of the fair grounds. The ,ang of men are all from Goshen, and arrived Sunday evening with their teams, 'driving overland. The contractor is George Butterfield of Goshen, who 'has charge of the work of excavation from Plymouth, north. This gang will Ikj met by the gang starting south from Lapaz along the east side of the Vandaha right of way. The road will follow the Michigan road north to the VandJalia Ry.. where it will take its own right of way north to Lapaz. It was purposed to hiave work begun at Lfcrpaz Monday, but this was found impossible because the work of this division has been let to a contractor from Detroit, Mich., who 'had not arrived. Gang Arrived Sunday. The gang which started work today, arrived yesterday after noon from Goshen, and have tak en quarters in a house in the rear of the residence of 3. B. Scheetz on north -Michigan street and will boarVIl with Mr. Scheetz. The gang will doubtlessly mike this city their headquarters until they are too faT from the city to make return practicable. ' Surveyors Are 'Busy. Meanwhile a half mile farther up the road, the surveyors are busy, measuring the cuts and fillins which must be made? in the roadbed. The actual line of sur BAND CONCERT VAS TREAT VENETIAN BAND PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCE AT ORPHEUM Second Concert in Plymouth Established Reputation of Italian Band Here. "Listen to the big brass band, Alice Where Art Thou Going." Three hundred people attended the musical treait of the season at the Orpheum theatre last evening, when Victor's Venetian Band numbering twenty-eight pieces, delivered its second concert in Plymouth. Miss Caroline Lewis, contralto, sung four of the evernew, old time airs. The range of Miss Lewis' voice is remarkable, her timbre good, and pronounciatiun perfect. The concert 'was superb. 'The rendition of "William Tell" was spiendid, and seemeid an almost perfect translation of that great overture. From pinaissaime, up a balanced cressendo to a crashing fortissamo. the leader led the band as one great organ, and the "house was captured." A novelty feature, was a comic rendition, "Way Doiwn in Kansas," in which various performers arose, and delivered obligato variations on "Arkansas Traveler", etc. This number was encored for repetition. The saxasphone quartet, and brass sextet, were well received, arij musical treats in themselves. The program as rendered was as .follows : Program Marah American Spirit ..Victor Overture William Tell. .Rossini Comet Solo Schubert's Serenade Signor Pontrelli Vocal Solo (a) Last Rose of Summer (b) Swanee River Miss Lewis Grand Selection II Travatore... Verdi Selection Patrol of the Hussars Intermission Scene Picturesque (a) Angelus, (b) "Way Down in Kansas" Saxophone quartet -(a) Old Kentucky Home (lb) Love's Old Sweet Song Signori, Danese, Tiommaso, Scopa and Meie.)

vey has been completed to South Bend, and the double row of stakes can be followed from Plymouth to South Bend. From La-, paz to Plymouth, the right-of-way is along the extreme east side of the rotaUl At the point where the excavators are now working, the right-of-way lies between the line o telephone poles,1 and the fence on the east side oft the road. For about a halt mile, the telephone poles stand directly, in the path of the road bed, and: will have to be moved. The con-' tractcr stateSd that the telephone company of this city, will not be ready to move the poles for some time, and that the work of exca-, vation will proce-. d around these poles nevertheless. Looks Like Interurban. An)J now it begins to look like an interurban for Plymouth. The eagerness with which the, work is being attacked, and the dispatch with which everything is being executed, indicates that the work will be pusheJJ to a rapid conclusion. The gan4g employed fn excavating will push their work to completion, and will be immediately followed by the construction gang, who wilUlay the ties, rails, erect poles etc. After two years of dallying during which time most Plymouth people lost faith in the proposal road, the work has at last actually begun, and must be pursued diligently until completion, or the franchise for the road in Marshall county is lost to the promoters. It is the expectation of the promoters to have the line completed, and cars running by June 1st, next year. DR. F. A. COOK WAS IN TOWN HE PASSED THROUGH HERE ON A PENNSY TRAIN TUESDAY. No One Knew He Was in the City Was Enroute From Chicago. Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the world's greatest explorer, and the first man to discover the north pole, wtas in Plymouth for five minutes Tuesday afternoon, although there were not a dozen people who knew it. The distinguisihed man was a passenger on Pennsylvania train No. 22, which is due to arrive here at 1:17 p. m., anVP had it not been for the colored porter on the train no one -would Ijlave known that he had ever seen Plymouth. The only thing that he is quoted as having said, was: "Where are we and how far are we from Chi cago?" Dr. Cook was enroute from ChScago, where hej dejivered a lecture Monday night, to Buffalo, where he is scheduled to give an address before a bi,g meeting some time this week. Worn out by his long journey through a number of the western states, he was not feeling well, according to trainmen, and he expressed a desire', to rench his 'destination quickly. LIGHTS FOR CHRISTMAS The citizens of Elkhart have raised sufficient funds to install the Goose-Neck system of lighting for their streets. The city however, is to stand part of the expense. The cities of Gary and Ligonier have their systerns almost completed. At the latter place the entire expense of installation and maintainance is borne by the city. Why not get busy, and install the system in Plymouth. It can be done by a little work from a few, who will take the matter in hand, and push it to the finish. The system could be completed before the Holidays, and would be an excellent drawing card for Christmas trade. Makes Overland Trip. F. M. McCrory and wife left Thursday for an overland trip expecting to be gone a couple of weeks. They will visit with friends at Goshen, and with his brother J. W. McCrory at Ligonkr, making the trip in a single !ggy.

MATTHEW SURPRISED.

Anti-Saloon League Leader Visits Gary and Sees Violations of Law Existing. Attorney W. II. Matthew of the Indiana Anti-Saloon league, was in Gary the other night,' having come here from Valparaiso-, wiiere he has been attending the trial of the remonstrance cases against the Burns ditch proposition in the superior court at Valparaiso, says the Lake County Times. In regard to the local situation Attorney Matthew expressed surprise when told that in spite of the indictments returned against them, there iwere still a number of the blind tigers in operation throughout the city. Later the Anti-Saloon Header strolled across the Wabash, and it is possible that ' some excitement can be expected on the illicit saloon question in the near future In regard to the local situation, Matthew said that he knv that the local situation hald been. bad in that many violations of the law had (been permitted. "I believe, however," he said, "that -the citizens themselves could have done much to eliminate these places, if they had been willing to take the law into their own hands." Concerning the remonstrance cases, lie said that there was not a question in the world about the saloon Jdague -winning tne cases against them, as he stated that he could prevent the defendants getting licenses in any event. He refused to say why, hbwever, that he had been so anxious to get continuances in the .jses whenever they came to trial. P. H. S. CORNER The annual meetings of the classes . were held for the election of officers, the election standing as follows: Senior President, Thompson Myers, Vice-President, Emmons McCrory, Secretary, Esther O'Keefe, Treasurer, Lelea Ilesjs. Junior President, Ralph Mc ConV.;ck, Vice "President, Hazel Tfcaux, Secretary, Helen Tom'.'.ijion, Treasurer, Eu'alia PHhel. Svphomore5 President Ilerelas 1:, Vice P. esi'ent Erma C.'.ie", Secret iy, 0act Strcn:i. Treasurer, Ruth Vinai!. The . Freshmien have, not yet organized. 1 ' f 'Hie usual trouble (one might almost say unusuaL trouble) is the result of Seniors choosimr their class pin. The boys' faction entertain hopes of wearing a minature coat of armor, while the girls wish something dainty. 'It is not known yet who will win out Myer's faction or girls' clique. Mr. Schelle instructor of the Commercial Department has revicwexl the athletic spirit. He has iiftroducekl a new game lor the girls called "New Comb." The girls are progressing fine along this line and sem to be taking a great interest in it. Mr. Schelle is also dointg some very fine work in the! way of boy3 basket ball. No date has as yet been set for the first game but when it is set let everybody come ami help the boys along, for your presence helps more than vou think. The students held high carnival Hallow eve night. Ask Mr. Schelle who the five ghosts -were that called on him. Miss Morrisey decided to move Mae to 'the front scat. They haul n debate on the matter but the affirmative finally won out and if you should happen in History V you will see Emmons occupying the "whole front row." . A committee of Seniors and the Faculty are considering having "Class Day" "this year. This would--certainly prove a novelty and the Seniors of '10 would feel right proud of having instituted "Class Day" in the P. H. S. There has been s me changing of seats n the assembly. If by chance you calle'd' in th II. S. Assembly the first of the year, you will not find the same students occupying the same seats. I wonder why? The faculty has been asked to give a "Faculty Play" with Miss Morrisey filling the capacity of heroine. Then who wouM' be the hero? Fell From Barn. city went to In wood Tuesday to care for her brother J. T. Filson who was injure'l by falling fron a barn north of In wood on last Thursday. The barn was being erected on the farm of his father Taylor Filson, one mile north of In wood. The injured man was on the top of the structure when he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Severe injuries were sustained on the hip. 'ssrs. George Long and John " of Inwood, were here on busi ess.
