A STRANGE story is told by a
Jeffersonville correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer. According to
this story a resident of Kansas City
left that place nearly three years
ago and came in on an excursion 10
Indiana to visit relatives rear Terre
Hautc. After leaving his kins-
people he went to Richmond, Ind,
where he got drunk and became
involved in saloon fight. In the
melee one OF the parties lost a
watch and accused the Kansas City
man of taking it. lie was arrest
ed, tried convicted and sentenced
to three years imprisonment in the
Jacksonville penitentiary. While
in prison he took sick and came
near dying, but would never reveal
his true name or the whereabouts
of his people. Last week his term
ended, being shortened by good be-
havior, and to some of the prison
officials he broke down and told his
story. They telegraphed to Kansas
City, verified it, raised a purse and
sent the poor devil home to his wife
and three children who have had
mo earthly clue TO his whereabouts
for nearly three years.
