PORTLAND, Ind, Sept. 1.-THE char
vest services held by several of the Luz
theran churches in the northeast part of the
county to-day were something a little out
of the ordinary in church circles. The
meeting was held out of doors in a large
grove, and at the dinner hour hundreds
spread their meals on the grass. There
was a liberal display of fruit, vegetables
and farm products of all kinds. and the oc-
casion was to give thanks that the farm
ers, especially, have been favored with
abundant crops as the result of their Ia
bors. The affair was worked UP by Rev.
NJ. L. Smith, pastor of the church at Bry-
ant. Among those who preached was Rev.
College, at Springfield, o. The services
were attended by people from all parts Of
the county.

CLINTON, Ind, Sept. Thames Booth,
the young ex-convict and desperate arrested
for stabbng A. j. Bryant, made his escape
tonight. Booth had just been held to the
grand jury, and asked rhe officer to accom-
pany him in search for bondsmen. The
two were passing out the courtroom door,
when the prisoner made a dash through the
crowd. Marshal Black gave chase, but was
no match for the prisoner as a roadster.
He fired several shots, but it was dark, and
he probably missed his man. The fugitive
ran north, and was soon lost to view. The
marshal and posse are in pursuit.

swindle practiced i'll many parts of the
country, is coming to the notice of the gov
eminent. The War Department has been
receiving many complaints from business
men in large cities that regular and volun-
teer officers have become indebted to them
and then disappeared. The instrumentalities
of the department are besought to locate
the offenders. Inquiry proves that the
names of the alleged officers are not on the
army rolls, and 1t appears that there is
systematic swindle in operation under COW
er of the army by men wearing uniforms or
carrying forged Credentials and taking ad-
vantage Of popular patriotism.

WHICH CAUSED 1T?
Fire Starts Under the Model
Clothing House
Spontaneous Combu stiOn of Coal
or Possibly the Work of
a Firebug.

The Model corner had a narrow
escape from fire early Sunday morn
ing. At shortly before one o'clock,
smoke was discovered pouring from
the open front windows of the unused
part of the basement, and an alarm
was quickly turned in. The fire was
located near the center wall of the
basement, about half way back, and
had burned through doorway that
connects the two halves of the base
ment. Had the flames gotten much
greater Roadway, they could not have
been extinguished before much dam
age had been done. as the floor lead
ing to the Model Clothing Store was
nearly burned through, in the very
center of the big store. Several
streams of water were turned on, and
after a heroic fight the firemen sue
ceeded in extinguishing the flames.
The damage to the woodwork Of
the building is considerable. Fl.
E. Hance was absent at Rochester at
the time of the fire, but returned to
the city Monday, He is unable to
say how much damage was done to
the stock in his store by the smoke.
D. Bakers property was damaged
somewhat, but the loss was fully
covered by insurance. Mr.. Hance
states that his firm carries $4,000 in
surance on the building and 1924, 500
on the stock. The store will be
closed until after the loss has been
adjusted.
1t is not known how the the fire
started, but there is no doubt that it
started in Mr.. Bakers soft coal pile,
at the door connecting the two por-
tions of the basement. Mr.. Baker
did not leave his shop until after
midnight. and the last thing he did
was to 60 to the passageway where
the coal is and turn the city water
off, as he does every night, to avoid
accident in his bath room. He saw
no sign of fire or smoke, but before he
got home the alarm sounded, and he
fastened back.
A person could reach the coal pile
from the street, as the door from the
area is never locked. Mr.. Poole, one
of the BARRIERS. heard some one walk
ing back and forth on the sidewalk on

MAGAZINES TO SOLDIERS.

The directors of the public library
held a special meetingFriday night -
consider the matter of sending read
ing matter to the Mankato boys who
are in the Twelfth and Fourteenth
regiment. Gen. Pope was authorized
to prepare boxes to be forwarded to
the boys Tuesday next, as gifts. These
boxes will contain the extra maya
zines in the library, aside from the
regular files, and it is thought de-
sirable that citizens who have any
thing of the kind should supplement
the contribution. Citizens who dc.
sire to do this should bring their con-
tributions to the library not later
than Monday, and Gen. Pope will see
to it that they are forwarded.

Planned Murder.

Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Nichols
and her children were left alone at
thehouse, her mother having gone to
Vernon and her brother to a neigh
boris. The brother had previously
purchased a pound of Paris green to
kill the Obugs on the potato vines, and
about quarter Of a pound was still
unused. During the afternoon, Mrs.
Nichols appears to have mixed this
with some water. She then called
her little boys to her side and told
them that she wanted to give them
some medicine. They were feeling
we'll and did not want to take the
stuff. She told them that she wanted
them to go to heaven with her, and
forced them to drink some of the
Paris green mixture, and to make
sure of her work, made them drink
several times. 1t is probably due to
this fact that they are alive today as
the overdose acted as emetic, and
they were able to be easily brought
about after their condition was dis
covered.

ENJOYABLE MASONIC PICNIC.

picnic at the home of Lysander Cook
Friday. There were 100 members
and friends present, and the picnic
was greatly enjoyed. The Good
Thunder band favored the people
with some fine selections. Mrs. Flora
Adams Pattee, Most Worthy Grand
Matron of the Eastern Star, was pre-
sent and gave an able address. Mr..
Gaylor, of Vernon Center, spoke very
eloquently on the good things OF
masonry. Musical selections were
rendered by many Of those present,
and a recitation by Andrew jamie
son was loudly applauded. The older
men present entered into game of
"plug," the old game of base ball as it
was played fifty years ago, with L. s..
Terry and Chas. Clark as captains.
Old men of seventy ran the bases
with the agility of boys. The result
of the game was 81 to in favor of
Capt. Clark's side. A bountiful pic
mic dinner was served.

A suicide and attempted double
murder occurred in the township OF
Vernon Saturday afternoon, the par
ticulars concerning which are OF
most shocking nature. Mrs. Viola
Nichols took her own life, and at
TEMPTED to end the lives of her two
little boys at the same time that she
destroyed herself. Coroner Paddock
and Sheriff Bowen were summoned
there early Sunday morning and
returned home late in the afternoon,
the facts being so plain that no In
quest was deemed necessary. From
Mr.. Paddock we learn the following
details of the terrible affair:
Mrs. Nichols, who was a woman
twenty-four years of age, was divorced
from her husband three or four years
ago and was living on farm between
Vernon Center, Garden City and Good
Thunder, and five miles from each
place. She was living with her
mother, Mrs. Geo. Ward, and brother,
and had with her her two children,
boys aged four and eight years. Her
former husband, Geo. Nichols, resides
in Wells,

Committed Suicide.

Having satisfied herself that she
had taken the lives of her children
Mrs. Nichols took a swallow of the
poison, and then wandered down tC
the Blue Earth river, which runs
through the farm.
When Mrs. Ward returned at about
six o'clock in the afternoon, she found
the youngest boy near the house, and
asked him where his mother was.
The little fellow replied that his
mother was at the river in the water
The grandmother then asked where
his brother was, and the lad answered
that he, too, was at the river. Mrs
Ward then went to the bank Of the
river and found the daughter in the
water, standing breast deep and lean
ing against a willow tree. Mrs
Nichols did not answer to her mothers
question as to what she was doing
there, but stood with vacant ex'
preston on her contenance. Mrs,
Ward then waded into the stream,
and attempted to draw her daughter
ashore. Mrs. Nichols cried, "Oh
don't!" but her mother persisted ano
finally got her to the bank.
Mrs. Ward then got her son and re-
moved Mrs. Nichols and the boys tC
the house, and summoned DR.. Thos
T. Wareham, of Vernon Center, but
before the latter could arrive, Mrs
Nichols had died. The younger boy
was doing nicely yesterday afternoon
and the older boy was recovering
although not as rapidly.
