FORGED 4 NAME.
SUCH IS THE ACCUSATION
AGAINST WILDER s. HILL.
The Man Who "A short Time ago tontem-
plated starting AN Organ Factory
In Plymouth.

For several days past rumors have
been floating around that Mr.. W WIlber :.
Hid, who has been conducting al organ
factory in Warsaw, had forged the
name of a former employe. The facts.
as near as we can learn, were about as
follows:
\ man 10y the name OF Davis was
in this man Hills employ at Warsaw.
lie was indebted to DAVIS and could
not produce the amount, SO sold HIM
material to construct piano with.
When Hill came to Plymouth for the
purpose OF starting an organ factory,
he wrote TO Davis to come here TO work
for him. Davis shipped his tools and
the material pertaining TO the instri-
ment he was building To Plymouth.
When it had arrived here, Hill went TO
the Pennsylvania depot and, signing
Davis name, secured not only the in
strument, but the private tools OF this
man Davis. 1t is said that ne now has
the stuff hid away some where on the
other side of the river, and Davis is
linus his tools, etc.
1t will be remeni55eered that some
weeks ago Hill was talking VI
establishing an organ factory here, and
several Of our business men became in
terested in the matter. Recent develop
ment 90 to prove that he is not wholly
responsible fol his assertions, as his con-
versation at times indicates With
out doubt that he is "a little tightly.
Ii is but a few days since he
brought suit against lady III Plymouth
claiming that she had promised u bny
an organ OF him, and then refused to
abide by the contract. When the ease
came up for trial, he dismissed it pay
ing the costs. But short time after
ward he was arrested for assault by the
same lady, pleading guilty and paying
the fine imposed upon him.
Like all other affairs, there is two
sides to every question, and of course
this one is not an exception. Hill says.
This man Davis was arrested in War
saw, and not being able TO pay his fine,
he (llilD stood good for the amount
and eventually paid IT, Also while he
does not deny owing Davis, he says
the latter has a watch belonging to bim
which he is holding DIS security, thus
the reason for gaining possession of
Davis tools.

to be that he is an unsafe person to

NOT THE MAN.
The Report That y. w. RowclI Was Inn
plicated in the Shooting of Miller,

Untrue.
The INDEPENDENT is always ready
to remove suspicion from any individ-
ual who is accused of crime. be he
ever SO deserving OF punishment for
other deviment.
1t has been currently reported that a
well founded suspicion was being run
to the earth, which would in all proba-
bility be fastened upon J. ". Rowell,
at this time incarcerated in the county
Jail for being implicated in the terrible
beating of an old man at Donaldson
some weeks ago. These clues, if sus-
tainded, owing to the undesirable record
established by Rowell, of late, would
have no doubt though purely circum-
stantial, have convicted him before any
jury.
n brother of the prisoner has pro-
duced the following sent by the accused,
which if verified, will remove from j.
w. aOwell any suspicion that has been
left against him as being one of the
dastardly towards that attempted to
murder John Miller. In substance it is
as follows: He stayed Monday night,
Jan.13th, at the home of Arthur Kilgore,
near Tyner City. On Tuesday night
the 14th, at Chas. Forsythe's, at Inwood.
On Wednesday night the 18th, he STOP
ped at the the South Bend house with
VIM. Beech, and Thursday night he
says, he, IN company with another fellow
named Leonard Beech, took special
room in the barn of Jimmie Oliver. He
further states that the truth of these
assertions may be verified by apply
ing to the above named parties. Thus,
If these statements can be proven
true, one of the dangers hanging over
Rowell's head is removed.

has been followed closely. which, IN
all probabilities. duplicates him IN the
shooting of Miller. For some days past
extra efforts have been made TO locate
Rowell, and it was learned few days
ago that he was in South Bend.
Investigation OF the report proved
that Rowell was in south Bend. and
upon watching at the postoilice, he was
discovered getting his mail under the
name of Howard. Officer Klinger left
for South Bend Saturday and returned
that afternoon with Rowell, who
will be placed on trial here.
While reports fly thick and fast re.
garding his being implicated in the
shooting affair at the depot, sufficient
evidence has been secured that proves
he was in that locality that evening
and went to bed at the Franklin House.
At the preliminary trial in Justice

examination, being bound over to court

through some unexplalnable freak of
fortune, came into possession of enough
money to buy more than one suit of

former editor of the Wabash Times, is
said to have become heir to half mil

through the death of Mrs. ii. G. Noble,
OF Columbus, Ohio. Our informant
does not state whether the lady was
relative or not, but there is not much
doubt that such is the case, for there Is
to our knowledge but one newspaper
man on earth who ever received an al
