WALKED 1000 MILES,.
How an IL Year Old Boy Sought a Re-
ward.

Blank and ragged from 900 miles OF
"hobo" travel, Ben Oliver, an eleven
year-old Indianapolis boy, who disap-
peared from his home two months ago,
walked into the police headquarters at
Birmingham, Ala, says the ~Indianap-
oils News. He had just come into the
city on the front end of a blind bag
gage car on the G. 81 N. railroad from
New Orleans. He told the police he
had run away from his home in Indian
apolis and was making his way back.
Since he left Indianapolis, he said,
he had traversed many of the roads in
Texas and a portion Of Mexico in his
search for Corpus Christi, Tex. Oliver
told the Birmingham police that he
worked about the wreck of the Purdue
special train, at Eighteenth street, in
this city and that he assisted in the
work of rescue.
He said he helped rescue the body of
a young man from Corpus Christi, and
he thought he would make his way to
that city and claim a reward. The Bir.
m%ingham authorities wired they would
make an effort to have the boy sent
home on a ticket.

THE CHAMPION CORN HUsKER.
Ora Hopkins of Prairie Township,
Fremont County, Raises The
Husking Record, And Is
Champion of The
World.

We can remember when it was con-
sidered a big days work, and remark
able feat, to hush 100 bushels of corn in
a day. But now that is only an ordi-
nary occurrence. The record for the
biggest days husking was held until
this time by our fellow citizen Charles
Rennack, one Of our city mail carriers,
which was 201 bushels and 16 pounds in
ten hours. But last Tuesday Ora Hop
kins Of Prairie township, Fremont
County, young man raised on farm
in that township. undertook to break the
record and succeeded. The husking
was done on the farm of ]. B. Farwell
in Walnut township. The judges were
j. B. Farwell, H. J. Ross, and G. c. Ross.
Ora took an early start and in ten hours
| he husked 217 bushels and 20 pounds.
The corn was weighed over the scales
by the judges. And now Ora Hopkins
+, is the champion corn husker of the
world, and if there was belt, he would
be entitled to wear it. We suggest
that the State Agricultural Society
present him with gold medal Shen-
andoah Post.

Mr.. Martin Sheets, of Yale, Iowa, who
was here last week looking after his
fathers interest in the defunct bank of
Lineville, informed us that the old
gentleman was badly worried over his
loss and was failing rapidly in conse-
quence. He is about 81 years Of age
and his loss by the failure of the bank
is nearly $4,000 and constituted practi-
cally all the means he possessed. He
had drawn little or none of the reputed
earnings of his stock taking certificates
Of deposit for the same and the sum Of
$500 which he had on deposit at the
time of the failure will presumably be
wiped out by the assessments on his
stock, thus making clean sweep of his
entire investment. Lineyille Tribune
