will be introduced to show that two men
witnessed the outrage and an effort will be

the story has reached here from Cass town
ship that the father of the Mcclellan chill
dren witnessed the rough treatment accord
ed the plucky teacher. and that he gave the
children the rope with which Miss Sinclair
was bound in the sheep trough.
Miss Sinclair has entirely recovered from
the effects of her terrible experience and
stated to-day that she would reconvene the
Parks school Immediately after the holidays
and that a picture of President Roosevelt

1t Is believed here that parents of children

wall was the direct cause of the outrage.

NEW County Board of Children's Guardians
took hand in a divorce case tried in Cir
cult Court to-day and as a result two chill
dren were taken away from both father
and mother. Frederick Britton sued Addie
Britton for divorce and when the case came
to trial she entered a cross complaint, al
leging several things which the court be-
lieved to be true. and was granted the de-
cree in the face of the suit brought by her
husband. The Board of Guardians entered
a plea to the effect that neither Britton nor
his wife was a fit person TO have charge of
the two children, one aged fourteen and the
other aged two. The court took both chill
dren away from the people in question and
sent the older one to the Orphans Home.
The younger child was given to its grand
parents for keeping. The Board of Guar
dians is playing a new role in interfering
where ii does not think father and mother
are suitable persons to rear their own chill
dren.

JULIUS KLOENNE, ACTIVE
POLICE JUDGE At IS
Only Survivor of the Original
1877" Club, Logansport
Organization of Seven.
HAS MADE TIME RECORD
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LOGANSPORT, Ind, Dec. 23.-The say
ing that man is never older than he feels.
perhaps has not been better demonstrated
that in the case of julius Kloenne, judge of
the Logansport Police Court, who, despite
his eighty-six years, is as active as the
average man of forty.
One of the happiest moments of Squire
Kloenne's life was on the occasion of his
birthday anniversary a few days ago when
he sat for the photograph in the above pic
ture in which four generations are repre-
sented. Those with him in the picture are
his daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Behmer, aged
fifty-two; her daughter, Mrs. Lene Rhine,
aged twenty-six. and the latter's little son,
Russell Rhine. aged three.
Justice Kloenne is native of Prussia, Ger
many. and has had an interesting career.
AT fourteen he began the study of civil en-
cheering and served in the engineer corps
of the German army from 1894 to iSi9, after
which he came direct to Logansport and en-
gagged in his profession. He is one of the
pioneer railroad civil engineers of this sec
ton. In 1861 he entered the volunteer serv-
ice as a captain in the Seventeenth Indiana
Infantry and served three years. After the
war he served county recorder, county
surveyor and city civil engineer.
AS police judge of Logansport he is max
ing a record as a collector of fines. Out of
nearly five hundred cases in which fines
have been imposed in his court. he has col
lected more than 80 per cent He is the first
local justice who has compelled bondsmen
in every case to settle fines for which they
have given security and in which the per-
son fined failed to settle.
Since the death of James Cheney, the
Indiana millionaire, at Fort Wayne, re-
Gently. Justice Kloenne is the only survivor
of the original ''1S17' club, organiza-
tion composed of seven Logansport men, all
of whom were born in 1917. The club was
simply social organization, but for many
years had its annual banquets and stated
meetings. The full roster of the club was
as follows: John Davis, Samuel Pana-
baker A. Z. Taylor, Anthony Smith, James
Cheney, Joseph Uhl and julius Kloenne.

DECATUR, Ind, Dec. 23.-Attorneys in
the Osborn murder case began arguments
this afternoon at 2:40 o'clock. Each side
has six hours, and by holding night ses-
sions Judge Irwin will be enabled to give
his instructions to the jury about Thurs
day noon. He sustained a motion of the
State to eliminate all evidence touching on
the bad character of John Busenbark, the
victim. This Is detrimental to the defense,
as 1t prevents argument that might have
been used to show that murder was just
ifiable or the result of provoked insanity.
In rebuttal, the State offered but few wit
nesses who could testify to the saneness OF
Osborn.

ordinances. the observance OF which has
been lax for years, with the beginning of

Another ordinance requires the payment
OF city liquor license fee of $50 per year.
II has been the custom of saloon pro-
prietors in selling their business to turn
the license over to their successors, who
would use IL with the claim that they were
not bona fide purchasers. but simply act
ing as agents in continuing the business
for the former proprietor. No effort was
made TO trife with the government, how

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND. Ind. Dec. 23.-Grovelle Bun
dy. the negro policeman. who has been on
trial here for the killing of Charles Moore.
was acquitted by the Jury to-day. The
court did not consider t. necessary to per-
NIT arguments in the case. and simply in
structed the jury TO return a verdict of ac-
quittal. The defense showed by expert tes-
timony that the wound was due to the bull
let having struck some hard substance and
glanced. and the testimony went to show
that Bundy only shot TO brighten Moore
and induce him to stop.
In compliance with the instructions of the
provisions of the metropolitan police law
the Police Commissioners will reinstate
Bundy on the police force.
