the Pacific coast and had hired
Roam and Bakken to take his
effects to town. After they had
unloaded the goods the pair
drank quite freely in the saloons
at Solway and both We're in a
beastly state of intoxication when
they left that village. They took
with them a q uantity of liquor in
a bottle and were drinking along
the road on their way home.
Bakken S team was first and Roam

would kill Roam. F[e began the

MEMORIAL
HONORS FOR THE NATIONS
DEAD.
But Three Members OF G. A. r.
Participate in Services.

Memorial Day at Laporte was OBJ
served with II devotion and fervOr
befitting the occasion. Eloquent
tributes in patriotic speeches, inn
pressive music and beautiful gar
lands of flowers banked around the
graves Of the departed soldiers dem
onstrated the love and respect held
for the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie which is fast losing in numbers
as the years go by.
The program as prepared by the
three surviving members at this
place, was carried out with success,
and large gathering at the Court
House participated in the services.
Rev. f.. A. Helm made an eloquent
address, which was followed by
Ellery p. Ingham who paid glow
ing tribute to the patriotic bravery
and self-sacritice of the men who
had volunteered to uphold the sane
tity of the Union. One of the inn
pressive features of the services was
the stirring address of Abraham
Lincoln delivered at Gettysburg,
read by Miss Mable Pennington.
The music by the choir and quar-
tettes was much appreciated, and all
who had the privilege of attending
the services had nothing but words
of praise for those who SO ably as
sisted in the observance of the day.
The rain in the afternoon made
marching and the services at the
graves disagreeable, but notwith-
standing this the program was car
ried out in its entirety.

EXEMPLARY
OBSERVANCE OF MEMORIAL
DAY in DUSHORE.
Young Blood is Injected Into
the Worthy Occasion.

Much honor is due the Maccabees
of Dushore for their splendid service
rendered to the Grand Army of the
Republic by taking the cares of the
arrangements for Decoration Day off
their hands, and making such
grand success of the day, and giving
the old soldiers a rOusing welcome
and good time while showing deep
love and gratitude to those departed.
Old residents of the town say that
Dushore was never visited by a larg-
or crowd at one time than was seen
their on Monday. Age and youth
joined hands and hearts; the ageing
boys in blue We're provided with
carriages for their line in march
while their broken ranks was filled
with the flush of manhood who
gladly marched through the mud
and rain as their fathers did in the
dark days of the Rebellion. The
Grafton was delivered by Atty. f. J.
Mullin of Laporte, and every vete-
rams graves in the several cemeteries
about Dushore was strewn with

LEAVING TOWN
WITHOUT PAYING BILLS FOR BOARD
AND OTHER DEBTS.
Captured and Brought Back to Bid Dis
appointed Friends Good-Ry.

Much interest was centered on II
case brought before Squire Keeler
Tuesday in which Mel Roach and
Henry Cashat were arranged for
showing Il disposition in making
an attempt to escape paying board
bill at the Laporte Hotel and other
debts contracted at the stores of A .
III. Buschausen and Jacob Herr,
along with large sums of money bor-
rOWed from new acquaintance at
this place. The two men have been
employed at the Laporte stave mill
for the past two months. Mr.. Roach
was a stave cutter who drew large
wages and boarded at the Laporte
Hotel with his wife. They were a
very genial and pleasant young cou-
pie who won the confidence and es-
TEEN of all who met them, and so
kindly aud considerably were they
naturally received here that it be-
came an easy matter for them to get
all the credit they could wish for.
Last week Mrs. Roach left for Wis
it with friends at Cross Fork, taking
all her personal effects with her.
The stave mill not being in opera
ton on Memorial Day, the Messrs.
Roach and Cashat grew restless, it is
supposed, and started to walk to
Dushore, F. w. Gallagher growing
suspicious of their sudden departure
from the place sent notices through
out the county for their arrest.
Frank Buck of DuShOre took them
into custody before they had time
to leave that place after they arrived
there. Constable James Gansel,
armed with warrants went to bring
them back to say goodbye to their
friends before leaving. At the hear
ing tho men pleaded to be released
until the return of Mr.. Marcus, fore
man of the staVe mill, who was out
of town in search of experienced
men to take their places, believing
that he would re-hire them, thus
giving them an opportunity to earn
sufficient means to liqudate their
several outstanding accounts. Each
was placed under $500 bail for their
appearance before Squire Keeler the
following evening. Mr.. Roach :
friendly appeal to Mr.. Gallagher
aroused the sympathies of that gen
tleman sufficiently to secure him for
bail, saving Mr.. Roach the humilia-
ton of going to Jail. Mr.. Cashat
was given to Sheriff Cott for safe
keeping until Wednesday evening.
ALL \ FARCE.
Before the time for hearing had
come, the boys got sobered up and
convinced their excited creditors
that they were just out of town for a
good time and was ready to start back
when sent for. Mr.. Marcus had their
places open to them,and they went to
work Thursday morning.
