Judge Afford Sends One of Them t
the Reform School

Judge Afford Sends One of Them to
the Reform School.
Judge Afford, of the Criminal Court, yes
terday dealt with trio of youthful Grim
inals. They were charged with holding up
two lads of about their own age on the
Sunday following Thanksgiving. The men,
bers of this youthful band of highwaymen
were James Williams, Earnest Lynch and
Pear Stratton. The latter is fifteen years
old, Lynch is thirteen and Williams is four
teen.
Frank Ffnkebinder, thirteen years old, was
the first victim. The trio came upon him
in the afternoon in the neighborhood of the
canal and Michigan street. According to
the testimony, one of the band ran up be-
hind him, held him tightly and placed a
hand over his mouth while the others went
through the helpless lads pockets. He was
unable to make an outcry and the young
robbers escaped The testimony confiicted
as to the character Of the valuables taken
from Finkebinder. He claimed his assail-
ants took his watch, pocketbook and pocket
knife. Later in the evening the youths at
tackled a boy named Lovelette, who was
walking on Massachusetts avenue near
Pennsylvania street. LOVeiette is fifteen
years of age. He had been down town on
an errand and was on his way home. His
story was that his asSailantS surprised him
by knocking him down. Then they robbed
his pockets of IL cents, all the money he
had. The accused youths related different
story. They admitted that they followed
Lovelette, but said they meant him no HARM
He turned on them suddenly and exclaimed
Il know what you are following me for"
The boys testified that he then placed his
hand in his hip-pocket and stood in an at
titude of defense. The eldest one of the
prisoners testified that he thought Lovelette
WAS about to draw pistol He said he did
not like to strike Loveiette because the
latter was a very small boy. He turned to
the youngest one Of his pals and said You
hit him." The youth obeyed and struck
Lovelette in the face, knocking him down.
The police heard the cries of the boy and
arrested the three lads who had attacked
him before they had gone more than a
square Judge Afford sent the Stratton boy
to the Reform School at Planfield. 1t was
shown that the Williams boy had borne a
good reputation and up to the time of his
arrest had been a regular attendant at Sun
day school. The pastor of the church he
had attended urged the court to deal lenient-
ly with him. Judge Afford consented to
release the boy on a suspended sentence. AS
to the Lynch boy the court took his case
under adViSement.

NEWS CASE TO BE TRIED
THIS WILL CAUSE FURTHER DELAY
IN SALE OF THE PAPER.
Three Young Highwaymen Appear in
Criminal COurt-0ne Sent
to PIainfieId.

In the Indianapolis News litigation action
was yesterday taken which will more than
likely delay the sale of the newspaper in
definitely. The attorneys met in Room
yesterday morning to argue the motion filed
by the plaintiff some time ago requesting
an order of sale. Mr., Winter, who repre-
sents Charles r. Williams and Delavan
Smith, called attention to the fact that the
court had not yet passed on certain affi-
davits made some time ago by the plaintiff $
attorneys. Mr. Winter insisted that some
disposition should be made of these affi-
for an order of sale.
This attitude on the part of Mr.. Winter
was interpreted by the plaintiffs attorneys
to mean further delay They discussed the
question for a short time and then agreed,
rather than have further delay, to dismiss
the motion for order Of sale and allow the
case to go to trial on it's merits. Judge
McMaster set down the case for the first
Monday in January. Although it is pre-
sumed that the trial of the case will last
but few hours it is the belief that what
ever the decision of the court may be an
appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court.
On the trial of the case the chief point in
volved will be whether or not Major w. j.
Richards, the business manager of the
News, had a right to bring a suit for an
accounting and dissolution of partnership
under the partnership agreement he entered
into wit6 Charles r. Williams and Delavan
Smith. 1t is contended by the plaintiff that
the agreement gave either of the parties the
privilege of demanding a dissolution of part

IRvINGToN's BIG FIRE.
Public school building Burned-Loss
RaO.OOO.

The largest fire that Irvington ever had
was that which destroyed the public school
building between and o'clock yesterday
morning. The loss is $4,000 and the insur-
ance is $40. 400. The building originally cost
S25 .OOO and two years ago an addition,
which cost $1,000 was erected. The fire
started from an overheated furnace and the
people of the town think that if a single
stream of water could have been turned on
the first blaze the building might have been
saved. But Irvington has no fire apparatus.
The Town Board advocated that apparatus
be bought but majority of the citizens
opposed the purchase. Tonight a meeting
of the board will be held and the sentiment
of the town yesterday was that fire APP
paratus should be purchased. The Waterman
on the courthouse tower sent in an alarm
for the Irvington fire, but the department
went as far east as the box that the watch
man had rung and then, finding no fire, re-
turned.
The people of Irvington stood about their
school building. helpless. and saw it de-
stroyed. The flames worked their will in a
leisurely fashion. taking time TO make a

Lora Holloway secured a divorce from her
husband, Chester G. Holloway, in the Cir
cult Court. A division of the household eff
fects was made, and the former wife bought
the former husbands share of the furniture,
and gave him note for $50 due in ninety
days Holloway Endorsed the note to Attor-
Eey Charles e. AveGill, in payment of at
torney's fees incurred during the divorce
suit. Averill, in turn, gave the note as col
lateral to Edward Gausepohl. Gausepohl
attempted to collect on the note, but the for
mer Mrs. Holloway could not meet it, and
he brought suit for the amount in Squire
Smock's court. Evidence was heard in the
case yesterday and will be continued to-
day. The defendant pleaded that when her
divorce was granted it was stipulated that
Holloway should pay her $40 month for the
care of their child Averill understood, she
said, that she would have to pay the note in
monthly installments of $40 each, and had no
right to indorse the note to the plaintiff as
collateral. A variety of technical points as
to the ownership of the note arose.

LICENSES ON DRAYS.
Councilman Higgins Wants Them Re-
duceu.

The sewers, streets and alleys committee
of the Council met last night and wrote a
favorable report on Mr.. Higgins's amend
ments to the vehicle license ordinance. The
amendments provide that two-horse drays
shall be licensed at So, instead of IS, and
one-horse drays at So, instead of S.. Mr..
Higgins, although drayman himself said
he owned drays, but he knew many men
who did. He and the rest of the committee
felt it was an injustice to tax dray owners
more than wagon owners, especially when
dray owners must pay city license be-
sides vehicle license. 1t was claimed that
drays do no more harm to the streets than
wagons.
The finance committee also met. IT signed
n favorable report on the ordinance author
iZing the Board of Public Works to pay off
the membranes on the Miller park,
amounting to $2035.62, incurred in street i'm
provements and the laying of sewers. When
the land was purchased by the city 1t was
agreed that the price paid should be $23, 800
and, besides, the city should assume the in
cumbrance on the property.
