BAD BOY AND THE PREACHER
Have Struggle in Church and the Result
10 That the Boy May Be Good
Hereafter.

Frankfort, Ind, Dec. 31-There was
an exciting service in the Methodist
church Sunday night. Leaving his
pulpit in the midst of the evening serv-
ice, Rev. Horace g. Ogden did battle
with a crowd of disturbers. The ex-
citing fight. which followed and in
which blood 1owed, took place be-
tween the minister and Harry Slough.
12-year-old boy, in the presence of
the audience. 1t is said that the Slough
boy, in company with three other lads
of about the same age, named Roger,
King and Palmer, on repeated oc-
casions has disturbed the church sery-
ices by talking out loud, laughing and
shutting feet.
Rev. Ogden on Sunday night, being
annoyed in the same way. went down
to the rear OF the church and request
ed the boys to 60 forward to the front
seats. Two went, one ran out and
young Slough defied the minister. who
then collared him and dragged him UP
to the front where tue boy showed
fight and in the course of the strug-
gle was thrown, cutting his forehead
on the corner of the pulpit. Then the
boy gave up and took seat. and Rev
Ogden took out his own handkerchief
and bandaged the wound. Ogden re-
turned to the pulpit and delivered his
sermon. With the white badge Of de-
feat around his head Slough sat
through the remainder of the service,
quiet and attentive. At the close Of
the service he confessed his wrong to
the minister and made an apology.

WAS GOLD AND HUNGRY"

Instead of Applying to Those Who Relieve
Such He Preferred to Do Burglary
s on q Jewelry show window.
New York, Dec. 30.-In full view of
the passing crowds a window in the
pawnshop Of r. Simpson & Co., on
West Forty-second street, was smashed
with a Belgian paving block last night
and $1,000 worth of diamonds were
stolen. Only three Of the gems were
recovered after the capture Of the rob-
Der. 1t Is believed by the police that
several men were in the job and that
the man who broke the window passed
the Jewels to confederates.
After an exciting chase, which was
entered into by hundreds Of men, the
robber, who drew q pistol and fought
desperately for his liberty, was cap
tured. He was more dead than alive
when the polire rescued him from the
crowd Of pursuers. He is 70 years
old and calls himself William Madi-
son, of Boston Madison said he came
here a week ago, and was prompted
to commit the deed BY cold and
hunger.
