Against Mr.. 0berlin For Alleged False
Imprisonment.

Imprisonment.
The grand larceny cases pending
against George NJ. and Edith Wagner,
who were arrested upon an affidavit
signed by Charles NJ. Oberlin, charg-
ing Mr.. and Mrs Wagner with steal
| ing two diamond rings belonging to
Mrs. Oberlin, at the suggestion of
Police Prosecutor Benner, were dis
missed from Police Court MondaN
morning
After the Prosecutor had suggested
that the cases be dismissed, Attorney
Edw. Voris, who had ben retained
by the Wagoners to look after their
interests, requested the Court to hear
the evidence.
"This couple has been charged with
committing crime of which proof can
be shown that they are innocent" said
the attorney. Statements made by
by the prosecuting witness have been
published in the newspapers and cir
culated all over the country. The
rings were found on Maple street by
a young woman and returned to the
Oberlin's. The rings We're in a pocket
book which had been lost by Oberlin's
little daughter while she was on her
way to a grocery. Had the rings
been stolen by Mr.. and Mrs. Wagner
they could not have been dropped at
the spot where they were found, as
the patrol wagon. which conveyed the
prisoners to the Jail took different
route"
Mayor Young declined to hear the
testimony and dismissed the case.
Attorney Voris informed a Demo
crat reporter after Police court had
adjourned, that the matter would not
be dropped here, but that he would
institute damage proceedings in Com
mon pleas court against Mr.. Oberlin
for alleged false Imprisonment of his
clients. He had not decided at the
time the amount of damages he would
attempt to recover.
The rings were found in, a pocket
book ON Maple st., by Miss Lydia
Cline Friday afternoon. The pocket
book also contained 81 cents and a
card containing MI. oberln's name
After reading an account of thc affair
in Friday evenings paper Miss Cline
called at the Obaiin residence Satur-
day morning and returned the prop
erty to Mrs. ObeiIin.
Officer Doerler was working upon
the case Sunday. He stated to re-
porter that he learned that Oberlin's
little girl had been sent to n grocery
store and took with her the pocket
book. When she returned home she
reported that she had lost it on the
way. After the Wagoners had been
arrested and were taken to the coun-
ty Jail, the patrol, although going up
Maple ST., to Home ST.. whore Mr..
Oberln resides. did not return by the
same route. Instead 1t went along
Home ST., to Exchange St, and thence
10 the Jail. 1t is claimed that Mr.. and
! Mrs. Wagoner could not possibly have
had possession of the rings or pocket
book and the evidence according to
officers, proves conclusively that they
| are entirely innocent of the charges
made against them.
| Mrs. Wagoner's father resides at
Mt. Vernon. Mrs. Wagner before
her marriage, which occurred Feb.
| 9, 1899, was Miss Edith Finn, she is
relative of Mr.. John ". Melton, of
2l2 West Miller ave
Mr.. and Mrs. Wagner We're re-
leased from jail sunday upon the order
of Mayor Young, as soon as II was
learned that they could not possibly

MANILA, Oct. 10.-A detach-
ment Of the Twenty first Company
of Macabebs to-day encountered a
large force of insurgents near Lipa,
province of Batangas. Lieuten-
ant Beau of the Macabebs was
killed, and one Of the force wound
ed. The enemy was strongly in
trenched. After two hours fight
ing the Americans retreated to
await reinforcements. The in
surgents numbered over 300, were
armed with Remington and Mauser
rifles, and apparently had plenty
Of ammunition. Martin, a teacher
at Mauban, was captured by in
surgents while visiting a neigh
boring town under an escort of
native police. The next day his
captors, relenting, tied him in a
hammock and carried him to a
point within mile of the town
and released him, saying he was
n0n-cOmbatant.

The question has often been ask.
ed, why is Railroad Jack so pop
plar with the patrons of the thea
tire? One word will answer that
Realism" The characters are
natural, in fact studies from real
life. The story is interesting. the
scenes and incidents are realistic.
The great trouble with many OF
the plays of to-day is too much
stageism and not enough natural
ness. In Railroad Jack" Mr.. Cauf-
man has used all the elements OF
comedy, pathos, and SEN
sational effects, and he selects his
company to fit their respective
parts and rehearses them sas he
wishes the parts played. He gets
the results that the public appreci-
ate. The scenic effects are origi-
nal and the company is competent.
The patrons of Walkers Opera
house will have a chance to pass
Judgment, as the play will be Tre-
scented next Wednesday evening,
October 10.

Both leave families, who are en-
titled to the respect and esteem Of

Clerk Howard made his final set
Element with Trustee Hefley this
week. There was balance in the
treasury Of 81, 2s1.44. The current
appropriations about exhausted
this amount, but revenue from
the collection OF taxes will soon
give us large surplus, Recent
building Of levees, etc, have made
a considerable demand for funds,
and caused the balance to be little
lower than usual at this time Of the
year. But these improvements are
highly necessary iii order to keep I
the county abreast with all other
lines of development.

Almost everybody knows John Hef-
ley, that tax collector and custo-

ance with the requirements Of that
party.
