The Panhandle Preparing to

Points of Interest.

The sale of the Richmond traction

revived the tall, which had died out,
II what this will mean to Richmond
pushed through. There are lines
from Greenfs Id to Indi; napolis, which
IS the create st railroad center in the
,ountry, and the center of all the
steam and traction lines of the
state. DAYTON on the east has six
cen traction lines running into the

With the link completed through here
rom Greenfield to Eaton we shall be
~ the greatest through traction line
in America. As soon as the lines
are completed the company intends
to add system of through sleeping
cars from Indianapolis to Columbus,
there being but short distance to
be built between Columbus and Day
ton. They will begin running sleep
ing cars through Dayton from Cleve
land to Cincinnati in a very few
weeks. the papers state.
The G. r. x Nj. are going to put on
system of motor cars between Nun
Gle and Cottage Grove as soon as
,ossible after the line is completed.
These motor trains will run every
aour or half hour. we are told, and
have sidings for stopping where
there are not stations aad will be
meant for suburban travel.
An employe of the Panhandle. who
generally knows what he is talking
about, says the Panhandle is already
preparing to put on motor cars BE-
tweea here and indianapolis, and he
said they would have them running
oy the time the traction line was
completed or before. There viii be
trains of this character each way
every half hour between here and In
dianapolis, similar to th ones they
are running at Atlantic City.
1t has been definitely determined
that the c r. & NJ. will not run a
switch line on north f street. II

DIR. LEACH
Is Acquitted of the Murder
OF Mary FarWig.

The jury in the case of DIR. Leach
OF Muncie have acquitted him.
This was the second trial of the
case. Leach was alleged to have
committed the crime at the instiga-
tion of John Diehl of Anderson, who
is now in state S prison. The jury
deliberated all night. The first bal
lot was six for acquittal and four for
conviction. This vote stood until af-
ter the jury had slept few hours.
When voting was resumed the first
vote showed the result of former bal
loting, but soon changed and the YER
dict was reached of not guilty. 1t came
as q surprise in most quarters, for
at the former trial the jury disa-
greed, with nine for conviction. The
change in the verdict is attributed to
the fact that the defense introduced
twenty character witnesses who rep
resented Muncle business and pro-
fessional men. After the verdict the
defendant, with eyes filed with tears,
thanked each juror personally. DIR.
Leach is nearly sixty years old and
was special health officer in charge
Of Muncie' S smallpox epidemic few
years ago when the city was cut off
from the out side world.
