PECULIAR LARCENY CASE.

Frances HeoDy arrested Charged With Steal
ing 1925 from j. II. Dean.
Yesterday afternoon Frances Heogy was
arrested aud arraigned before Judge Cool
ey in the municipal court charged with the
larceny of 1926 from James II. Dean. She
waived examination and was bound over to
await the action of the grand jury. In de.
fault of the required bail
she was incarcerated in the county jail.
The circumstances attending the case
are somewhat peculiar. Some time since
Mr.. Dean was divorced from his wife
During the past six months he has been
living in the relations of man and wife
with the defendant, who alleges that she
lived with him upon the promise of mar
rage.
On divers occasions her iege lord (by
stipulation) would become financially ire
sponsible from toe liberal draughts from
the flowing bowl. At such times. to pro-
tect mutually his and her interests, she
was in the habit, like true wife. taking
personal charge of such loose money he
might have about him. 1t invariably
vexed him sorely and he usually threatened
to turn her away, but would always relent
just SO soon as he came to himself again.
That is the manner in which the alleged
$225 was taken. The money was turned
over to lady friend for safe keeping,
the 'ssharer of the bed and board" of the
complaining witness. When legal meas
ures were Instituted none of the money
was found, but the defendant freely con-
fessed that she had given it to the woman
referred to. Capt. Berry called upon the
latter and was told that she knew nothing
about it, but upon second visit he re-
covered $3.50 and was informed that that
was all the money there was. The defend
ant also claims that the amount
taken was only $3.50. A writ OF
habeas corpus will probably be sworn out
in the case.

Bridgeport man had worn them day

About year ago Benjamin Hedrick,
Of Newark, o., decided nearly 100 acres
of land to his son Charles on condition
that Charles should provide for his faith
er, who is 20 years old. Instead of
keeping his share of the agreement
Charles has endeavored to have his
father sent to the poor-house, and on
last Sunday he turned him out of his
house. The old man walked half q
mile in his bare feet to neighbor's,
through the snow. His feet are so
frozen and swollen that he can not get
bis shoes on. The citizens expressed SO
much indignation over the matter that
the son took the old man home, but it is
not probable the matter will rest here,
as it is said an effort will be made by
citizens to set aside the deed.

Keppler, the cartoon artist in Puck,
was born of Hungarian parents, in
Vienna, and was apprenticed to bak-
er. His early artistic designs were
made in dough. After coming to this
country he started little paper in St.
Louis, which attracted attention by the
boldness of its designs, but was not
profitable. Mr.. Keppler was stanch
Roman Catholic, but when his wife died
the Church refused permission to the
singing society of which he was men,
Der to perform memorial exercises over
her remains, and he thereupon discon-
nected himself from its fold, and has
dealt it some hard blows in his paper.

THE PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD.


Third Days observation-disclosures
tine Business.
The morning session of the synod open
est was manifested in the work and bust
ness throughout the session.
After devotional exercises, Revs. D. E.
Wells, Abbott and Wykoff and Prof Keihle
discussed the 'Hindrances to the Spirit"
Upon the conclusion of the discussion, it
was agreed that it should be taken up
again on Monday.
Rev D. R. Breed submitted his report
upon the synodical missionary commits
sion.
The repor. was followed by DR.. Woods,
in short address upon brotherly saluta-
ton.
Home missionary work was discussed at
length by Rev. Leo. Baier. late of Missouri.
In the report of the Rev. DIR. Breed, it
was suggested that D. G. Lyon be contin-
ued in the Office of missionary, and Rev.
R. F. Sample at this iuncture introduced a
resolution continuing Mr.. Lyon nominally
and creating the Office of associate mis-
sionary, who should be required to do the
labor of the department.
Rev. Peterson could not endorse the re-
solution. He favored either continuing
Mr.. Lyon in full charge or else the ap-
pointment of a new man into whose charge
all the affairs should fall.
DR.. Campbell also disapproved of the
| resolution.
It was then suggested that Rev. A. X.
Baird, of Iowa, be elected missionary of
he synod of Minnesota and Dakota.
| After some further discussion the whole
matter was referred to the following spe-
cial committee:
Revs. McClaren, Whitney and Kiehle.
This committee was instructed to act
Immediately.
