ROBBED HIS -BENEFACTOR.
Unappreciative Youth. Decamps with
400 in Cash.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ELKHART, Ind, Aug. 2.-Harry Waters,
aged seventeen. decamped from the home
of his benefactor, Howard Hopkins, of near
Goshen, Sunday night, with $500 of Mrs.
Hopkins's savings. Waters came to Elk
hart and took a train FOR the East, his sup
posed destination being either Toledo or
Detroit, as he has an aunt living in the
latter place. He took the money from its
hiding place while Mr.. and Mrs. Hopkins
were making a call, and when they re-
turned he told them he was going to town
(Goshen) for a little while. His determine
ton to go despite their efforts to dissuade
him caused them some apprehension, and
after he left they examined their valuables
to see if he had not committed some petty
depreciation, as he had been accused of
similar offenses before. They found jewelry
and other valuableS undisturbed, and as
the box, in which the money had been
placed, was apparently all right, they did
not look into 1t, and went to bed treasured.
In the middle of the nig-t 1T occurred to
Mrs. Hopkins to open the money box and
she discovered the loss.

committee appointed to solicit subscriptions
for the new bottle works have raised over
$1,000, and have options on three different

comes from the gas belt. Rockville, within
a radius of three miles, is surrounded by
fine coal fields which are easily reached and
are not yet fully developed. Parke county
is the second county In the State in its
coal production, and this item of cheap fuel
will bring many important manufacturing
plants to Rockville. Already the committee
has received several letters of inquiries
from manufacturers in the gas belt con-
corning Rockville and its inducements.
Rockville has a bright future for a manu-
featuring town, besides a prospect for an
