MEREDITH DODGED JOB ACCUSING T, R

Richmond Man Was Asked to Testify for Newett in Famous Libel Case.

HAD NO TESTIMONY

Declined to Take Stand Because He Had Never Seen Colonel Take Drink.

LOCAL OWLS VICTORS Win Loosely Played Game at Fountain City.

(Palladium Special.) FOUNTAIN CITY. Ind., June 9. The Fountain City base ball team lost their first game of the season on the local grounds Sunday afternoon to the Richmond Owls. The game was close,

i the final score being 12 to 11 in favor

of the visitors, but was "loosely played. McNutt brothers were the battery tthe locals and Hawekotte and Ifavis for the Owls.

It became known for the first time today that Linus P. Meredith, former sheriff and Republican district chairman, was asked to testify in behalf of Editor Newett of the Ishperaing Iron re In the recent libel case brought against the Michigan man by Col. Theodore Roosevelt. Meredith flatly refused to take the stand against the former president for the very good reason that he could not testify that he had ever seen Col. Roosevelt intoxicated. How the Story Started. Following Col. Roosevelt's tour of Indiana with ex-aenator Albert J. Beveridge, when the latter was a candidate for re-election, a story began to circulate that both Senator Beveridge and Col. Roosevelt had been intoxicated aboard their special train, on which Meredith was a passenger from Anderson to Richmond. Knowing that Meredith was connected with the Republican organization in this state, and acting on the supposition that he might be prejudiced against the colonel, representatives of Newett interviewed him in the hope that he might make a valuable witness for the editor. "I told them that while I might have thought the colonel acted in a peculiar manner I could not testify that he was drunk because I did not see him take a drink," Meredith stated today. Col. Roosevelt was very angry when hia train arrived in Richmond, owing to delays in the schedule and because he could could not speak In Richmond, as he had planned to do, and in vent

ing his indignation expressed himself I

quite frankly. This gave rise to a report that he waff drunk.

June 16, according to Prosecutor Will Keller, whose duty it is by law to file affidavits acainst delinquents. Mr. Relkr has issued the following order to delinquent dog owners: "It is made my duty by law to prosecute any person who sha'l keep any dog upon which the dog tax has not bMn paid The statute making it an offense to harbor such a dog fixes the minimum fine thereon at $5 with costs. "I note in lists of delinquents now in the hands of the respecthe township trustees that many are persons who can not afford to pay such a fine, and to the end that these persons may have additional time in which to pay their dog tax, over the time already granted by the officials, I will not tile affidavits for the collection of such tax until Monday. June 16. 1913. "Against such persons as have not I paid their dog tax to their respective! trustee by said date, Monday. June 16. j 1913. affidavits will be iled charging! the harboring of a dog upon which the , tax has not been paid. I "Money derived from taxing dogs constitutes a fund known as the dog fund, which is used for the payment of damages sustained by the owners ' of live stock killed and maimed by j dogs. The purpose is most commendable, and no dog owner should neglect j to contribute his share to such fund. 1 Such neglect is made a criminal of

fense."
