of the Bloomington young man have been
told. c. II. Lockwood. a patent attorney
with an Office in the Lemcke building. told
the Journal a story yesterday CO how
young Henley had secured money from him
on a bogus check.
Henley came into my Office last Decem-
Der and requested me to secure patent
rights in Canada for a gas engine" said
Mr.. lockwood. He and his grandfather,
IL seems, are joint inventors of an acety-
lene gas engine, and he displayed the
patent rights in the United States for the
engine / told him / would take the mat
ter up. and he asked me what my fee
$50 he drew a check book from his pocket
and cautiously went over a number of
stubs and made a calculation on a piece
of paper. He then remarked that he had
balance of about $500 in the bank.
After Henley handed me a check for $780,
which was on Chicago bank, he asked
If would cash a check for $40. as he
for him and he left. / have never seen
him since. l banked the checks here and
they were sent to Chicago They were re-
turned with notation that Henley had no
account in the bank. i had to pay $o.l2
protest charges on the two checks and

that he went to Chicago and purchased a
large amount of machinery for which he
gave bogus checks, but the manufacturer

There never was a man who was better
beloved by those who knew him than Ma
than Norris said Joe Cunningham, of
Peru, at the Grand last night. II have
known him intimately for over twenty
years, and / counted him one of my best
friends. 1 never was more shocked in my
life than when 1 received a telegram Sun
day forenoon telling of his DEATH
Mr.. Cunningham is also close friend of
DR.. Joseph Haas and family, and he spent
last evening with the doctor at the home
OF j. b. Kaufman, East st. Clair street.
"Dr Haas spent an agonizing Sunday"
said Mr.. Cunningham. He. was tied up
In the little town of Lima, where he could
not get a train out for twelve hours after
he received the message telling him of the
terrible death of his son and brother-in-
law, and of the injuries of the other MEM
bers of the family. He made every effort
TO get a special train, or even an engine,
10 take him in to Fort Wayne, where he
could get a train for Indianapolis, but the
officials of the little railroad that
runs through Lima paid no attention
to his request although he offered to pay
them any sum that they would ask. He
finally got to this city about o'clock this
morning. His state of mind during the
twenty-four hours that elapsed between the
time he received word of the fire and his
arrival here may be better imagined than
described"
Mr.. Cunningham will remain in the city
for the funeral of Mr.. Morris and Frank
Haas to-day.

PHILHARMONIC CONCERT.
The Singing of Mr.. David Baxter
Arouses Much Enthusiasm.

The Philharmonic Club was fortunate In
securing Mr.. David Baxter. the Scotch
basso, as soloist at its third concert at the
German House last night, and it was equal
ly fortunate in combining its programme to
Scotch lyrics. Sixteen Of the seventeen
songs on the programme were in Scotch
dialect, but they were mostly familiar bal
lads, and as each was set out in full the
audience was never lost. The attendance
was the largest at any of the Philharmonic
concerts despite the miserable evening.
Mr.. Baxter is a singer worth hearing.
His voice is full and flexible, with quail
ity well suited to lyric work and an intelli-
gent comprehension of the artistic in the
homely Scotch airs. The usefulness of Hrs
voice I'm such repertoire was best shown
when, by request he sang MoEart's drink
ing song. This gave him opportunity to
display his compass and thorough quality,
but also furnished a contrast. Mr.. Bakers
voice lacks weight for the Mozart song,
though in singing it he never lacked true
Mr.. Bakers programme included five
double numbers and because of the enthu-
siastic applause, he added two encores.
His first number-"The Sands o. Dee
revealed his power OF pathOs, and he re-
sponded to the demand for small humor in
the next-"The De'ils Ava wi tn Ex-
ciseman." These two songs made friend
was required to answer an encore. His rem
dition of Turn Ye to Me" and 1.-THE Mack
intosh's Lament" disclosed his best efforts,
though in Sound the Pibroch'' he dis
played the true spirit Of the Highland clan
songs, and for it was required to answer
a most spontaneous and enthusiastic en-
core. The other songs he sang were Jess
McFarlane' Loeb Lomond," Jennie Net
Ties THE Cooper o. Fife" and THE Land
o. the Leal." There was a large attend
ance of Scotchmen, who were thrilled by
Mr.. Bakers work because of its native
character as much as its artistic worth
The only other soloist was Mrs. Josephine
Bremmerman Edmunds, who sang with
delicacy and expression within a Mile o.
Edinboro Town." with the assistance of the
Philharmonic Club.
The work of the Philharmonic Club un-
der the direction of Mr.. Nell, was inspirit-
ing and successful. 1t was necessary for
a well-balanced programme and revealed
the versatility of the organization. In
robin Adair'' and annie Laurie 1t was
at it's best. Its ether numbers-"Bonnie
Ann I've Banks and Braes," "Alastair
MacAlastair" and THE Piper of Dundee
were all pleasing and displayed the YER
satality of the chorus.

during their trial. and that he had been
very kind to them. especially after their
conviction and during their short confine-
ment in the jail. Mr.. Morris took deep
interest in their case and visited them fire.
quently at the jail, besides sending them
books, magazines, cigars and fruit and
doing everything in his power to relieve
their Imprisonment of unpleasant features
The Louisville attorneys deeply appreciate
Mr.. Morris's kindness, and they held him
in very high regard. When they heard of
his untimely and terrible death Sunday
they were greatly shocked. and immedi-
ately arranged to come here for the flu
neral. They were averse to attracting any
further newspaper publicity, and for that
reason endeavored TO keep their visit here
a secret.
The case OF Messrs Watts and Sachs
will come up for argument before the
United States Supreme Court at Washing
ton next Monday.

FIRST CIRCUS OF SEASON.
Ringling Brothers Big Show Will Be
Here on May II.

The surest sign of the near approach of
spring and summer comes in the announce
ment that Ringing Brothers Worlds
Greatest Shows are to give two perform
ances in Indianapolis on Mondoy, May IL.
The announcement is sufficient to bring
delight to both old and young in the city,
for Ringing Brothers this year promise
the largest and best aggregation of circus
talent ever brought tc Indianapolis, and it
is a well-known fact that the Ringlings
have always kept their promises to the let

gladly welcomed is the presentation of the
massive spectacle of chivalric days en-
titled Jerusalem and the Crusades," which
requires LOO persons to properly produce.

infantile rival in little Miss Sahara, baby
camel, also born in the winter quarters.
The circus performance has been REIN
forced by the most famous acrobats of
Europe and America, and is devoted to ex-
clusively high-class circus features. Forty
clowns are to furnish the amusement with
new quips and sallies, and original nven-
tions in the laughter-provoking art.
Ringing Brothers this year require
eighty-five double-length cars to transport
