MYSTERIOUS ATTACK MADE BY BANDIT ON PREBLE COUNTY MAN

EATON, O., May 10. Sheriff George Jones. " Marshal Willard Armstrong and other police officials of Preble ountv have thus far been unable to

get any trace of an alleged bandit that last Saturday night about 8 o"clock j

fired a revolver upon Glenn Kiaenour, 45, farmer, in his home three miles 60uth of West Alexandria, the ball striking Ridenour a glancing blow on the back of his head and causing only a scalp wound. -Th officers say much mystery sursounds the alleged attack, as they claim their investigation of the affair has provided little in the way of clues to work upon. They say they found foot tracks leading to the house but none leading from it. . Asks Aid for Car. Thei alleged bandit, officers say, according to Ridenour and his unmarried sister, who live together, knocked at a back door and she answered the rapping. A stranger asked if he could get a lift with his automobile, as he claimed the car was ditched. The woman told him. she says, that two fellows had come to the house in the night last February on the same mission, but when they took their truck and went to look for the ditched car it could not be found, whereupon they took the fellows into West Alexandria. At this juncture the woman started

for the telephone to call a garage in J West Alexandria, when the stranger,'

standing in the doorway, ordered "hands up." Ridenour leaped from behind a stove where he was seated in a rocking chair, to a closet to get his shotgun. As he stooped to pick up the gun the bandit fired and fled. A 32-calibre ball was later found in the closet. The officers say Ridenour has a revolver the same calibre, but an old model. Miss Ridenour describes the bandit as being a man of average height and build, probably 25 years old, and wearing a dark suit and a white check cap. She says his face was unusually long and narrow and his teeth very prominent. The two men who came to the Ridenour home last February asked him to get his touring car and help them out of the ditch, according to Ridenour, but that instead he got his truck for the purpose. He says he believes now that the men wanted to get him out. in his touring car, hold him up and make away with it. Gilmore Case up Again All record in the Craig Gilmore case is completed and the case will be presented Thursday to the court of appeals in Dayton, according to Gilmore's counsel. Gilmore was convicted in common pleas court of criminal assault upon Miss Amy Von Kanel, of Hamilton, a teacher in the schools here, followed by the refusal of a new trial, at which time he was sentenced to from five to 30 years imprisonment. Locke Files Answer Grover C. Locke has filed an answer and cross-petition to a divorce and alimony suit brought in common pleas court by his wife, Marie Locke, in which he denies her charges that he lias been guilty of cruelty and neglect. He avers he always treated her with respect, furnished her a good home, dressed her as well as he could afford and supplied her with plenty of money. In his cross-petition Locke avers that at different times, after their marriage in May, 1913, his wife went to live with other people and at one

time he sued for divorce in Parke i county but was persuaded by his wife lo take her back. In April, 1921, he avers she left their home, taking with her her clothing and personal effects and has remained away, during which time, he avers, she associated with a man in and about Verona. Lock avers he can furnish the man's name if required to do so by the court. He asks that she be compelled to take her maiden name of Floyd. Charge Theft of Horse Upon request of Hamilton police. Marshal Willard Armstrong arrested Harry Booker, 19. of Hamilton, Sunday, at the home of a relative of Booker, three miles south of West Alexandria and held him for the Hamilton authorities, who claimed Booker was wanted for selling a horse belonging to Shirley Cobin, of Butler county, on which Cobin held a mortgage. Booker was born and reared in Eaton, but has been living in Hamilton the last several years. Farmers Capture Boys Marshal Willard Armstrong recovered Monday at West Alexandria a bicycle -that v. as stolen Saturday night from Willard Overholts, in front of the Star picture theater, where he is employed. Marsha! John Kelly, of West Alexandria, arrested two boys who were chased and captured by farmers, who claimed the boys were stealing eggs. It developed they had in their possession three bicycles, it is said. They are said to have confessed to stealing the wheels, one of which was that of Overholser. One boy gave his name as Joe ShippIctt. 14, and the other gave his name as Wilcox, aged 14, and Richmond, Ind., as their homo. Marshal Kelly returned the two lads to Richmond Sunday night, along with the two bicycles found in their possession.

Left to right, above:. D. R. Williams, James A. FarrelL Below: Fred L Kent and A. E. Ashbarner. , Foreign trade development and the establishment of cordial commercial relationships is the safeguard against future wars is one of the strongest ideas brought forth at the foreign trade convention held in Cleveland. Four of the men who figure as the "big guns" in the annual convention of the National Foreign Trade Council are James A. Farrell, chairman of the council, who is president of the United States Steel Corporation; Fred I. Kent, of the Bankers' Trust Company, New York; D. R. Williams, of the American Chamber of Commerce at Manila, and A. E. Ashburner, foreign 6ales manager of the American Multigraph Company. Representatives of foreign nations, as such, could not be delegates to this "all American" convention, but the gathering has attracted trade emissaries from all parts of the world.

(By Associated Press) TIEN-TSIN, May 10. Rumors of another attempt to restore the Man-

.chu monarchy by placing the captive

boy Emperor Hsuan Tung on the throne are circulating in the inner circles of this center of Oriental statecraft. Hints come from unknown sources that such a move is to be made within the next two months. Speculation on this possibility provides one of the most fascinating subjects of conversation among the Chinese as well as among the foreigners. Here is the stage and the throneless boy emperor a star character for the development of a plot that may yet focus the world's attention. Anything is possible in Chinese politics for upon Peking centers not only the jarring ambitions of Chinese militarists and politicians but a large proportion of all the diplomacy of the Orient. Has Thrilling History The story of Hsuan Tung is like a tale of the Arabian Nights. Though he is still a boy of 15 years he has twice been proclaimed emDeror and

twice has abdicated. When he was!

less than two years old he was made emperor by edict of the dying Empress Dowager in 1908. With his father, Prince Ching as Regent, the infant was nominal ruler over 400,000,000 people for a little more than three iears. Then came the republic with a president, Yuan Shih-kai, aud the boy still an emperor, retired to captivity within the walls of the Forbidden City. There he remained for five years until in 1917, when he was yet only 11 years old, he was forcibly restored

to his throne by a coup d'etat of Gen-! eral Chang Hsun who. it has been charged, was the agent of a German plot to prevent the Chinese republic

was brief.

and again he went back to the palace of his forebears a prisoner, and there he has remained surrounded by 3,000 or 4,000 of the Manchu adherents, princes, enuchs and whispering old women who long and probably plot for the time when the little "Son of

I Heaven" shall again ascend the drag

on throne. Hsuan Tung is described by those who come in contact with him as a bright youth of affable manners, studious and interested in the outside world and its political movements. Naturally the Chinese classics are his brief study but he also has learned English and derives delight from his skill in penmanship. He is deferential to his tutors and strictly observes the rules ot" imperial conduct they have taught him. Hsuan Tung is carried in his yellow

to gratify his wish within the limits' of the palace grounds. If he goes to ! ride he must straddle a pony led at a slow pace about the courtyard, j Though he longs to see the distantj parts of the world he is not even al- j lowed to " rowing on the lake about i the sumii-.T palace. To the youth of America accustomed to its freedom'

his position would be intolerable. Yet his disposition remains unspoiled.
