A Candidate For Jeffersonville.

Sundaj- Marshal Brown, of Wheatfield, brought from Valparaiso and turned over to Sheriff Reed, a young fellow named Claude Gray. He had been working for Rowley Morehouse, up in the northeast corner of Wheatfield Tp. It is charged that last Tuesday he stole $45 from a fellow workman named Julius Jenson. He went to Valparaiso next day and invested largely in clothing; and being there again Friday Jenson found him there and had him arrested. He had left the clothing at Kouts, but the Valparaiso merchants agreed to take it back, so that Jenson got back part of his money, at least. Gray is a mere boy, being only 18 years of age.
