As the scene of the crime had been .visited by thousands before the dogs had been put on the scent, the foot steps of the man had been obliterated nd the scent confused. But the hounds followed a trail that led through the ravine for several blocks, sometimes on one side of the stream then on the other and again up the ban la. The dogs kept on the scent until It led up the bank! to a street car track where it was lost. The dogs followed this trail for some time and the police were convinced that the slayer boarded a trolley car at this point and escaped. A reward of $500 for the apprehension of the fiend was offered today and bloodhounds are on the trail of the guilty person, who is thought to be a homicidal maniac. The police, fearing other crimes may be committed by the same man, issued warnings to all parents to keep their children home after dark: and keep a close watch on them during the day.

DOMESTIC USES ARE JQ BE AIRED One-fifth of Last Ninety Cases Filed Are Divorce Petitions. ABOUT THE USUAL NUMBER FIVE CASES OP THIS NATURE ALREADY HAVE BEEN HEARD, WHILE THIRTEEN MORE ARE ON THE WAITING LIST. Approximately, one-fifth of the last ninety cases filed in the circuit court were due to unhappy marital relations. This is, in some respects, a sur prisingly large number, but attorneys say it also shows the failure of mar riage in many instances under existing laws. 'It is not an abnormal percentage for. this county, but more nearly the average. However, . in other countries and in some states, this fig ure would be pointed to as a condition for the public to become appalled at There are eleven divorce cases and two fraudulent marriage cases to be tried, either this month or during the next term of court. Five cases have already been heard. However, these thirteen remaining domestic woe cases do not include all that are on the docket of the circuit court. In fact there are twice and probably three times as many which are to come up within the next four months, even providing no new cases of this nature are filed in the meantime. Many cases are of several months' standing. Attitude of Judge Fox. The attitude of Judge Pox toward di vorce is only too weu Known, mis views in opposition, having been pub lished several times already. Today the divorce case of Mrs. Verla Staufer against Carl J. Staufer, was dismissed on motion of the plaintiff. Saturday, four cases which like the Staufer case, had been on the docket for four or five months, were dis missed. FOR PURE OYSTERS It is asserted that special attention will be paid to the character of oysters sold in the local markets this year and if any dealers are found handling oysters that contain more than the normal amount of free liquor they will be prosecuted. The pure food commission of Indiana waged a strenuous campaign last year which resulted in the exile of the well known tub and the use of a packing wherein the oyster is shipped with a direct contact with ice. Dealers over the state, it is said, have been in the habit for years of watering the oysters and adulterating them until they become bloated and lose their delicate flavor. Such practice will not be tolerated in this city, it is said, and the board of health will keep a close watch as to the methods employed by the local dealers the coming winter, and lovers of the delicacy will be i sured of Its purity, it4s declared..

Duchess of Fife OFF! MOVING CAR Walter McKinney Takes Joke Wrong Way and Gets a Knockout Blow. GENERAL MELEE AVOIDED WHEN INJURED MAN AND FATH ER AND BROTHER ATTEMPTED TO BOARD CAR AGAIN CONDUCT OR BARS THE WAY. After one man, Walter McKinney, had been knocked off a slowly moving D. & W. traction car by Reed Clark, o'. New Paris, a free-for-all fight was probably averted by the prompt action of the conductor, ordering the motorman, to increase the car's speed and by refusing to allow Mt Kinney or his father and brother, who had alighted just before the mixup, to get aboard the car again. The fight occurred about two miles east of the city, yesterday evening, on the car that leaves Richmond about 6 o'clocki. As the car was slowing down for the McKinneys to alight, and as they were standing on the rear platform, Clark jokingly remarked to Walter McKin ney, "why don't you wash your face?" Immediately McKinney bridled up and swung at Clark. As he did so his father and brother alighted. No sooner had they stepped off than they were followed by Walter McKinney, spinning bullet-like through the ozone, from a blow to the jaw, administered by Clark. Tried to Board Car. As the young man picked himself up, quite dazed, he and his relatives made a rush for the car, the elder McKinney Insisting to be allowed to get aboard so that he could perform a surgical operation on Clark's heart. , There was great confusion aboard the car and had the McKinneys succeeded in boarding it, it is quite probable that there would have been a general melee. At the next stop the car made the conductor telephoned into the local office an account of the fight. The local traction official after hearing the harrowing details, anxiously inquired as to whether the car had been dam aged. When the conductor assured him that the company had sustained no loss, the local man lost all interest in the affair and hung up his receiver.

LADD QUITE HAPPY

Prosecuting Attorney Charles Ladd is happy that the affidavit charging Bert Oler of Economy with dynamiting fish was filed In the Randolph circuit court instead of the local courts. His happiness, is due to the fact that Oler is a relative of his and he does not particularly desire to have to prosecute his relatives. The consensus of opinion among the friends of Oler, Joseph Morrison and Ernest Replogle who were arrested on the charge is that they are not guilty. Circumstantial evidence alone Is all the affidavit is salt) to be based on.

BIG BREWERY MAI1

CALLS HEAR BEER QUITE2 FAILURE Lieber Says It Does Not Fill The Bill and That the Demand for the Drink Is Now Decreasing. SAYS DRY TERRITORT PRESENTS BIG FIELD States That There Is Heavy Demand for Bottled Beers In Places Where Saloons Are Voted Out. Indianapolis, Ind Sept 14. Albert Lieber, of this city, president of the Indianapolis Brewing Company, and one of the leading brewers of the state, made the admission, yesterday afternoon. In a speech before the con vention of the National Brewmasters association, that near beer ia a failure. They do not fill the bill and the demand for them is decreasing.1 he said in his address. Coming as It . does from a man as prominent In the brewing business as Lieber the statement Is likely to at tract considerable attenUon. for It has been the hope of the brewers that near beer would take the place of real beer in dry territory where the sale of lager beer la forbidden by law. A Big Convention. The brewmasters convention Is com posed of managers and superintendents of breweries all over the country, and nearly a thousand of them are here to attend the sessions. They are discussing the manufacture of beer as well as the conditions of the trade throughout the country. It was at the opening session yesterday afternoon that Mr. Lieber made his address, representing the American Brewers association of which he is a prominent member. His speech was significant and. important all the way through, because It forecasted an Improvement in the beer business. Mr. Lieber said, among other things: "There is no craft that has a better right to optimism than ours. The harrasslng trials and troubles which the brewers have suffered during the last two years have served to emphasise the great and Increasing importance of beer as a social factor. Every experiment with prohibition whether on state or local lines, proves that the attempts to drive beer out of the cities only increases Intemperance. Americans Like Beer. "There Is no question tbst beer Is the popular beverage of the American people. The people ' who come here from the wine drinking countries of southern Eurone learn to like lmr an weu inu iney are quite content 10 . . A . . . . . they have been accustomed. It is. indeed, a case of love at first sight, for it appeals to the eye as well as to the palate. "Moreover, the beer we drink has won its way upon Its merits from a sanitary standpoint, as well as In other ways. The new - profession ot "social engineering" and "sanitary science has made men realize that a large percentage of the death loss In our cities, which is due to such diseases as typhoid, diptheria and tuberculosis, is traceable to bad water. Impure milk, poor or Impure food. The beer maker in these days of refrigeration and pasteurization cannot make an unhealthful beverage, so lone as he uses zood materials and knows bis business. I believe our " American beers are pure and nourishing, and that there is no beverage fnr I ill t a wti1.h . r mj a.f.1v Ka recommended by the physician. "Isn't it curious, when you come to think of It, that in spite of all the sentiment that has been created against the use of alcoholic drinks and the large business that Is awaitjlng the man who can successfully eat er to the taste of the public with a substitute beverage, no one has yet succeeded In producing any non-alcoholic beverage that has really made a bitT Siruos Have a Vogue. The sweet sirups of the soda fountain have a certain vogue, but they will not go except In very hot weather, and many of these are under the ban of the health Inspector. For a while the emasculated near beers of the prohibition states seemed likely to be popular, but they do not fin the bin, and the demand for them Is decreasing. Does not the experience prove that man craves something In the way of a stimulant, and if this is a fact, as I believe it is in most cases, there Is no question that our light American beers are the only really successful and satisfying temperance drink on the market. "The s oread of dry territory Is ev ening np new markets for oar bottled beers. The family trade In bottled beers is increasing, and when once a family has tried the expettaent of V4M,ifiv innnlr nf hottled hp mm ice for any occasion, the habit soon becomes fixed.
