Firebugs are believed to he at work in tJhe Monon shops, where four mysterious lires have caused much damage In the last four weeks. The authorities are anxious to discover the offenders, and will engage special detectives for the purpose. About a month ago the pattern shop was found ablaze. There was no way o account forJiie lire except that it was of incendiary origin. The damage amounted to $2,000. Then there was a fire in the machine shop which damaged that building. There ! was evidence of incendiarism found that time. Then a string of 100 freight ears caught fire, and more than half of the cars were totally destroyed, but the others were old ones. A fire Tuesday night caused $2,000 damage in the dry kiln. The Monon company lias a fire department of its own, but the fires have all gained headway so rapidly and the city department is so far away it has been almost impossible to extinguish them. A discontented employe is thought to be setting the fires, and the investigation now In progress may bring results.

The Plainfield Friday Caller has the following on the Indianapolis At Western railroad: Judge Thomas J. Cofer, of the Hendricks Circuit Court handed down a decision Saturday afternoon which may he of vital importance to the trolley line situation in Hendricks county. The suit was that of the Indianapolis & Western Railway Company against William Denny and a number of other land owners between Avon and Plainfield. It is the desire | of the company to build a transmission line for power from Avon to Plainfield and erect a line of poles for ! the* purpose of supporting the wires. | A portion of the necessary land has I been secured, but in a number of inj stances the settlement has not been i made, and the company instituted I condemnation proceedings. The land owners held that the corporation had no right to condemn the land for the reason that it was not set out in their charter that a line was to be built from Plainfield to Amo. and this being tlte ease the company had no eminent domain rights for condemnation. Judge Cofer's opinion In full is as folj lows: “It is the law in this state that j statutes on the subject of eminent | domain shall he construed liberally in favor of the land owner and strictly against the corporation, it is also 1 the law that corporations have no powers except those given by Its charter. It is also the la/w that a corporation. before it can exercise this right, must show a necessity for it. Do the facts before the court show such a necessity? If they do, the petition ought to be granted, if they do not it ought to be denied. “The amended articles of incorporation of the Indianapolis & Western Railway Company provide for the building of their road from Indianapolis do Danville through Balnbrldge and on to Rockville, and from Danville by way of Greencastle and Brazil on to Terre Haute. The road lias been laid out and constructed to Danville and laid out and partly con structed to Greencastle. Does their charter authorize them to build a rond from Amo to Plainfield? Would their charter authorize them to exercise the right of eminent domain to acquire the rigitt of way on the line front Amo to Plainfield? The statute authorizing the building of interurban roads reads as follows: “To build maintain, own. control and operate intertirban street railroads and property appertaining thereto and to be used in connection therewith 'n. through, between and connecting towns and cities or any of them named in its articles of association.” Plainfield is not named in Its articles of association nor is it on its line of road, but is entirely off its line as contemplated in i:s articles of association and as it is laid out. I do not think they could acquire by right of eminent domain rho right to build a road on that line and if they can not, can 'they acquire by right of eminent domain the right of way of a transmission line to Plainfield? If they have such a rigitt it is they have acquired it by virtue of their char-

ter.”

This same point was rtised In tills county as an objection to the rigitt of tlie company to exercise the right of eminent domain and Judge Colliver hold It was a good objection. On a trial of the case the railroad company satisfied the court by proof that they were going to build the line from Danville to Greencastle and the court held that the objection was not sufficiently proven to prevent the company from exercising Its right given by statute.

[HE ENURE COUNIRY SCOURED

Sheri If and Police Join With Horse Thief Detectives in Looking f or Tlie Murderer.

If there Is any portion of North Putnam that was not thoroughly searched Wednesday night it Is the hare open fields where the eye can plainly see anything that might be on it. When the marshal ot Ladoga sent word to the police department at Indianapolis that he had an encounter with a negro that filled the description oif Coe. rhe negro murderer wianted for his part in killing the two police officers, the whole force of the city was set in motion. Chief of Police Metzger and Captain of Detectives Bray with some men left Indianapolis immediately in an automobile and made a record breaking run across fhe country for Ladogia. When they arrived there they showed the marshal the picture of Coe and the officer was certain that the man he had tried to arrest in the forenoon was the same as the picture. Immediately there was a search instituted for him in the country south of Ladoga and the Putnam county line was crossed. Sheriff Maze was notified of the search and he and his deputies joined. Marshal Reeves went along with the officers and the horse thief detective association of the north pant of the county was notified and 'they, about one hundred stiamg, joined in the man hunt. Every place that a man could lie in hiding was gone over thoroughly. Chief Metzger advised his men and assistants that if they saw Coe they had better fire at first sight as the negro was a desperate one and if he had a ohiane^ he would kill as many of them as he could before he would be captured. The large automobile used by ahe Indianapolis officers was well filled with rifles, revolvers and some shot, guns loaded ‘With heavy buck shot and if sight had been caught of the negro, it is pretty certain that he would have received a very warm reception. All night long the officers looked, but no trace of the man could be found. Finally at four o’clock the chief of police and Mr. Bray with Marshal Reeves came to town. They only stayed a few minutes, however, until the detective with Marshal Reeves went out again. This time they went to Limedale and from there they went to the different railroad camps where they hope to find the negro in hiding among the many colored people at work there. Chief of Police Metzger is about exhausted in his search for the culprit and when talked to this morning by a representative of the Herald he could hardly hold his head up. He had missed five days and nights of sleep and it was telling on him. He left Instructions with the men here and had tlie automobile take him home. The reward offered for tlie negro is growing all the time and many searching parties are on tlie lookout for him. He is a desperate fellow and the searchers are prepared for the worst. He Is well armed and is a pi’et.ty good artist with his revolver and it is pretty certain that if he sees the officers first and knows they are after him that some one will lose his life. Tlie detectives from Indianapolis say they will not waste words on Coe if they lay eyes on him. Thev will no ask him to surrender but will Introduce themselves to him by a load of buck shat from their gun. The search is an interesting one ;ind many people are taking considerable interest in the affair. It Is not offten that, the peaceful farms of Putnun county are Invaded by officers on i man hunt armed and determined to lay their victim cold in death on sight. Many rumors were afloat last night over the north part of the county as to the whereabouts of Coe and several times the officers surrounded corn fields and houses thinking he was in them but their searches proved of no avail. At eleven o’clock the officers who went to search the camps finished their task and came back to the city. They found no trace of tlie missing man and detective Sldener of he Indianapolis force went north on the Monon at noon to join the other detectives at Roaebdale. A posse was organized there this morning to look that country over but the officers are of the opinion that coe slipped into Roachdale some time last night and caught a freight Taut out of there and is now many miles from here. Had the marshal of Ladoga exercised some precaution he could have haJ Coe in custody as he had him where he could have arrested him and no! allowed him to pull his revolvers on him. The local officers will keep a sharp eye for the man however, and If he comes this way again It is likely that lie will be rounded up by some of them.

MANY SHARPERS ARE HERE

I tanks Have All They Can do Without Answering Telephone Calls as to Deposits.

It is asionishing how many bad ohecks are going the rounds in Greencastle these days. Along with the railroad construction companies has come a class of fellows who are around to look after a few loose dollars they can get hold of and the ways and means they use are wonderful. Hardly a day passes without some merchant cashing a check for a stranger and when he takes It to the bank he is told that there are no funds on hands with which to pay it. These cases are never told and the newspapers do not get next to them buf they exist. One local banker talking with a Herald reporter this morning remarked at the amount of crookedness there was in the world and how narrow are the risks run by business men in cashing checks for strangers. The banks, too, have to look sharp or they will get caught. Every trick and scheme is used by the fellows in order to get money and forged checks on railroad contractors and on the tin mill are presented to them or the merchants. Cheeks come in on already over-drawn accounts in many instances and the thousand and one ways are pursued by the gang that follows tlie works to get money without w'ork. The laborers are honest. The foreigners do not know' enough about dishonesty and generally go to the banks and have their cheeks cashed and then go to the merchants with tlie money to make their purchases. Greencastle merchants should he very careful in cashing cheeks. Tlie stranger should he given the go-by on all of them for there are so many that are bad that it is not known when a good one is presented. Tlie banks are constantly besieged by the telephone of parties who want to know if this or that check is good and the matter has to be looked up. It would lie better to allow the owner of the check to come to tlie bank and get his cash and then make his purchases. If it Is after banking hours the sale he proposes to negotiate had better be missed than to run tlie risk of taking in a bad piece of paper.
