CLOSE OF THE CHESS TOURNAMENT.
II. c. Brown, of Anderson, Wins the State
Championship-An Indignant Player.

The State chess tournament closed last even
ng. Something of sensation was created
among the players during the afternoon by the
withdrawal from the contest of N. Willett,
who had been a formidable contestants up to
yesterday. Pending the play Willett made an
illegal move. under the chess code, which he
admitted, but maintained it was customary not
to enforce 1t. The matter was referred to the
State association, which decided that customs
in any locality could not control the law of the
tournament. Whereupon Mr.. Willett resigned
from the contest and from the State association
forfeiting all his unplayed games. Prior to this
the State association had decided that he had
won and was entitled to the State cham mpionship

She Comes Here in Search of Dr. Hartford,
Whom She Charges with WrOnging Her.

Six weeks ago Superintendent Travis received
letter from William Wasson, detective at
Toronto, Canada, asking him to locate Dr. j. H.
Hartford, of this city, representing the Caroohc
Smoke ball Company. who. he said, was
wanted in that city, for fraudulently
obtaining money from Miss Mary Burk, a
tailoress under promise of marriage Detective
Haley soon located DIR. Hartford East Wash
ington street and the detective was notified Of
the fact. Miss Burk wrote that she would
come here to see DR.. Hartford. and she reached
here on Thursday evening. Dr. Hartford
was not at home then, but detective Haley met
him on the street yesterday afternoon. He was
taken to the police station. but before ne was
allowed to Miss Burke, John Duncan was
sent for to act as attorney for her Dr. Hartford
was taken to Superintendent Travls's office. and
was much surprised to see Miss Burke there.
She related to Superindent Travis and Mr.. Dun
can her story, which is to the effect that about
tho first of last November she met DIR. Hartford
in Toronto, and soon became very we'll
acquainted with him. He showed her much
attention, and after he had been there
Catholic, he proposed to make the match
agreeable By being baptised into the church.
which was done. The marriage was also an
nounced in the church for two successive Sun
days. After everything had been arranged for
the marriage. he aold her $500 worth of shares
in the Smoke-ball company for $780, and she
paid the money cash. She says that few
days after he secured the money he left the city
without giving her notice that he was going,
and she heard no more from him until Superin-
tendent Travis notified her that he was here.
The Smoke-b ball stock, she claims, is entirely
worthless in Canada, the corporation is one
doing business in Indiana alone.
Miss Burk asked that DR.. Hartford be arrested,
but. he could not be taken back to Canada
under the extradtion laws. Attorney Duncan
gave Hartford the choice OF repaying Miss Burk
the money he had obtained from her or being
EXPOSED. DIR. Hartford asked until o'clock last
evening to consider what he would do. and gave
his consent to have the story made public if he
did not meet Superintendent Travis and Miss
Burk at that hour. He failed to keep the ap-
pointmeut.
The young woman has letters from prominent
people of Toronto testifying to her good charac-
ter and vouchng for the truthfulness OF her
story. Her only recourse would be civil suit,
brought here, but she says she not bring it
on account of poverty. She will return to her
home to-day
DR.. Hartford claims that his acquaintance
with the girl began through a street Irritation,
and that she volunteered to give him the money
for investment in the stock of the company
after hs had explained to her that she would
probably receive dividends amounting to $40
month

NEW ORGANIZATION FORMED BY THOSE FOND OF
WALKING.

A NEW ORGANIZATION FORMED BY THOSE FOND OF
WALKING.
About two years ago there was organized at the
Washington High School what was known as the
II. s. Pedestrian Club. Being something entirely
new at the school 1t grew rapidly In numbers and
In population. The membership was composed Of
both boys and girls, and the latter were by no
means the least active, as they rvaed the boys In
walking power. The first years enjoyment ended
with an excursion to Marshal Hall. Many of the
members OF the club were scattered among the
various colleges OF the country and some OF them
left al the High school to reorganize during The
last school year. The old enthusiasm, however
seemed 10 be gone, and the club was not much OF
success, and at last by common consent the club
was abandoned.
But now, new era has begun for the pedes-
TRANS A club has been formed, but having no
connection On with the High School OF course as
that Institution, any new members from the school
