Can Be Found.

According to H. R. Elliott, of Salt

in Nevada City charged with muir
der. Elliott was here yesterday look
ing up the past record of the sus-
pected man but was unable to find
any clue as to what he was while in
Richmond.
Elliott solicited the help of the
Richmond police in his attempt to
find some evidence and together with
Chief Jesse Bailey, searched the rec
ords at the City Building and Court
House. 1t is thought that Lane
owned property, had been married
and had been sent to prison from
here, but nothing was found to show
that this was true. He is alleged to
have left Richmond fifteen years ago.
Lane is now over seventy years of

ANNUAL EVENT AT THE FIN
LEY SCHOOL WILL TAKE
PLACE TODAY.
PUPILS MAKE PREPARATIONS
In Order to Take Part in Fight the
Pupils Have to Observe Snow
Balling Rules.

Today will be the greatest day of
the winter for the boys Of the Fin
ley school, corner South Fourth and
B streets. This afternoon their an
nual snow ball battle will be fought
in the school yard and the lads have
made great preparations for the
event. Anyone having business that
will take them near the school build
ing between the hours of $50 and
4 80 p. m. are advised to wear suits
of armor as the snow missiles in that
neighborhood will be as thick as
blossoms on cherry tree in June.
Concerning this annual battle of
snow there is an interesting story.
A few years ago the principal of the
school, Miss Catherine V. Reese, had
considerable trouble, when snow was
on the ground, preventing the boys
from snowballing near the school
building. Many of the little girls
were injured by this practice and Of
ten times the windows were broken
in the school.
Miss Reese tried various methods
to stop this snowballing but her eff
forts proved fruitless. One day about
three years ago she summoned the
boys before her and told them that
if they would promise not to snow
ball within two squares of the school
building, she would permit them to
have one snow battle royal each win
ter. The lads promised and since
that time the rule has been almost
universally observed.
Once in a while, however, few
lads would find it impossible to. re-
sist the temptation to "soak' some
|oEe with snow missile, while within
the ssneutral zone. There are a
Few violators Of the. rule this year
and this afternoon they will be
sskept in after school, to witness
the great battle from behind the win

The Richmond Man Declines TO
Dispose of the Lease.

According to news from the Indi-

of Richmond. In it's daily oil re-

On the Renner stock farm in
Blackford county, near the Grant
county line, where two years age
there was derrick marking the dis
covery of oil, arrangements are be-
ing made for the drilling Of another
well.
The contract has been let to G. R

be the tenth we'll on the farm, which
is one of the largest single tracts in
Blackford county. The lease is
owned and operated by B. johnson,
of Richmond, who a few years ago
refused several offers of large bonus
es for the lease of the property. The
fact that the farm was surrounded
on all four sides by oil mde the prop
erty desirable to a number Of oil
companies which were operating in
/ this field.
johnson refused all offers made
, him because he did not care to have
| his farm obstructed with the der
ricks, pumping rods, power houses
and tanks necessary for the produc-
tion of oil, but after time decided
that if his territory was considered
so valuable by the oil companies he
might as well drill a we'll in it him
self, and if it developed anything he
would be owner of it, not having to
accept one-eighth royalty as would
be the case if it was leased to com
, pany.
There are now nine wells on the
farm and all of them are producing.
Although none of them are classed
as gushes. they are pumped at pro-
| fit and their production is sufficient

PENALTY FOR EX AUDITORS

HE GOES TO JAIL At ONCE
Efforts of His Attorneys to Have
Him Released on His Old
Bond Failed.

Indianapolis, Ind, March IA. (SpD
= eve, the jury, find the defen-
dant guilty of embezzlement, as
charged in the Indictment. -
The Criminal Court room was
crowded to suffocation at 9:20
clock this morning when the ver-
diet, which blasted the last hope of
David E. Sherrick, former Auditor of
State, and practically means that he
will serve a sentence Of from two to
twenty-one years in the State prison
at Michigan City, was read.
The instructions of the judge had
been so clear and so damaging to the
defense that it appeared that no 9th
er decision could be reached by the
twelve men, still, there was faint
hope of acquittal.
Clerk Norwood parted the crowd
and walked over to the jury box,
where he accepted the verdict from
foreman Eppler. Returning to the
judges bench he slowly unfolded the
papers and scanned them carefully.A
| few moments elapsed before he be-
gan to read. To the. people in the
courtroom it seemed. like five min
utes. a
1--WE, the jury, find the defendant
guilty. he read:
Something like a sigh escaped
from the people, and all eyes were
turned on the condemned man. His
face blanched, and he hung his head.
Miss Manlove placed her hand on his
shoulder and he turned toward her,
every vestige of color having been
driven from his face.
Slowly Clerk Norwood continued
reading the finding Of the jury count
by count. The first four counts
charged embezzlement: The fifth was
grand larceny. On this count a find
ing Of not guilty was returned. The
other six counts charged embezzle-
ment and the verdict regarding all
was against him.
Attorney Harris, when quiet had
been restored in the room, stated that
the defense would ask for new
trial. After discussion, it was de-
cided that arguments on the motion
would be heard Monday.
Then another blow for Sherrick
fell. Up to this time he had been
under the impression that his bond
for. $4,000 was still in force, and
that he would not have to go to Jail.
In this he was disappointed.
Following the arguments for a new
trial on Monday, in case it is denied,
Mr.. Sherrick will be called before
the Judge and sentenced. A fine prob
ably will be imposed and the judge
will then read the statute covering
the indeterminate law. It has been
decided to carry the case to the Su-
preme court Immediately, if the rul-
ing of the judge for new trial is
unfavorable. The law provides that
in criminal cases the defendant must
serve time in prison pending the de-
cision of the highest tribunal. This
means that Sherrick must go to
Michigan City, unless his attorneys
should be able to convince Judge Nc
Cnllough that he has ruled incorrect
ly in the case just closed.
