NEW CASTLE, Ind., Jan. 10 (UP) Rep. Herbert H. Evans, majority leader in the Indiana House 0‘ Representatives, today announced that he will Seek renomination to the House rather than nomination for Lieutenant Governor on th“ Republican ticket. The fact that the tenth district has thr"e cand'dates for the D. O. I J -nomination for Governor prompted his withdrawal from the race for the :;tate office, he said. He added that "A lot of politicai hoot owls of both parties” might suggest that he was merely promoting his candidcay if he pressed the leg'slative investigation of the state administration while in the Lieutenant Governor race. He said he intends to prosecute the investigation “one of these days.”

The same action was taken in regard to the final reports of Josephine Burk ns administratrix of the estate of Otford Burk, also that of Frank Stoessel, administrator of the estate of Guy K. Martin, and that of Guy M. Hoover, administrator of the estate of Laura B. Carrington.

Some of the habitues of the Court House pretended, this morning, much perturbed because a black cat crossed their path, as they went to and fro about their dally duties in the Putnam county temple of justice. But the sheriff said the black cat wasn’t black because it had some white on it. The white was limited to a small bow-tie affair under its chin, which, the high sheriff said, was enough to spoil the jinx effect of a really black feline. The habitues breathed with more freedom when they learned that fact. However, they were not so sure about the cat itself escaping bad luck, when they

A death note, written in Mrs. Reames’ handwriting ami signed “Laura,” was found by investigators. “I hope you are all satisfied,” it read. “Bury us side by side at Galveston. I don’t want the snakes peeking in at us.”
