A Bunch of Editors Run In.

Miss Bessie Cronin, lately a graduat) of the Valparaiso law sohool and admitted to the Porter oounty bar. went to Peru Friday, where she made affidavit before Orson Carand. a justioe of the peaoe, against the publishers of 4 Logansport newspapers charging criminal libel.

Papers were issued for the arrest of Louthian & Barnes publishers of the Pharos, Mrs. Inez Sutton, of the Reporter, H. J McSheey, of the Chroniole, and Keesling & Metzger Bro. of the Journal and placed in the hands cf Constable Oscar Pelton to serve.

The suits grow out of articles pub'ished in these papers al!e ing that Miss Cronin masqueraded in man’s attire and robbing pupils of the normal school.

The Indianapolis Star, which also published this dispatch from Valparaiso, has reoently made a full investigation and states there was no truth in the charges against Miss Cronin. She was raised in Carroll oounty, and as we understand has relatives living in Reneseelaer.
