two ago, seem* only to have turned down and kept right on doing business. But the town mar shall and county official? raided if Monday night and capturded two dray loads of booze, poker tables, cards, chips aud a roulette gambling device. The Roses will be less rosey when the law gets thru with them.

Deputy Sheriff Frank Cowen, ol Monticello, came over here today, bringing with him young Homer Heath, the Remington lad who got into the bad company of John Tagne. a circus roustabout a few weeks ago and stole a horse and baggy. They were apprehended at Chalmers and have since been in jail at Monticello, and Monday Tagne was sentenced to from 1 to 14 years irr the reformatory. Heath was evidently a feeble-minded yourh, aod it was decided to hold a sanity inquest for him and he was brought here for th t purpose. He is only 15 years of age. A report was circulated here Tuesday that Tom McCoy had been paroled and was released from the Michigan City penitentiary last Saturday. This is evidently not true, as the board was reported to have adjourned without taking any action on his- motion for parole. Neither Michigan City, Indianapolis or Lafayette papers have recorded his release, and these papers have generally been relied upon to familiarize the public concerning the McCoy matters. It is thonght quite improbable that the board will favorably pass upon his parole, at least until he has served two years of the sentence, and if Mr. Koffel, es KnoxJ is correctly quoted, he will not be released until bit Rensselaer victims quite, generally approve it. This would unquestionably demand that he complete the maximum sentence.
