child will remain with its grandpar-
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Cartwright

T'uch of such interest due the county

Today former County Treasurer Til

JOHN LOCKE'S FAMILY GOT MON.
EY FROM TICKETS WHICH
HE COULD NOT USE.
ABOUT S15O WAS SECURED
In Making Sensational "Get Away"
Transportation he had Purchased.

Prosecuting Attorney Jessup, now
that is is certain that John Locke will
be returned to this city for trial. is
beginning to collect evidence which
will convict the badly wanted man on
the charge of grand larceny. 1t is al
legged that he is one of five men who
stole hogs from the farm of John Ma
cy in Perry Township.
An interesting story in connection
with Locke's efforts to escape from
this part of the country just before
the attempt was made to arrest him
last March, is being told. Locke had
his transportation purchased to the
west but so hot on his trail were the
local officers that he was unable to
use these tickets for fear of being
captured.
To make his getaway" Locke fin
ally had to invest in transportation
over other lines. About April of last
year Locke, who at that time was in
Texas, sent to Attorney John F. Rob-
bins the transportation. amounting to
about S150. which he was unable to
use and Mr. Robbins redeemed it,
This money was used to defray the
expenses of the members of Locke's
family. who were at that time con-
fined in the county Jail on charges cf
receiving stolen goods.

Miners Feel Confident.
] The miners tonight feel that they
have alread ywon the bituminous
strike which was practically called by
the adjournment sine diS of the joint
conference of miners and operators
this evening. The miners figure
that inasmuch as one-fourth of the
operators lmeaning the Pittsburg dis.
trict) have admitted publicly that the
miners demands are just, 1t will be
hard for the other operators to make
the public see that the scale is not fair
all around 1t is also admitted by
several operators in other states that
they will not attempt to work their
mines for the next sixty days and
that when they do they expect no
labor troubles. This would prove
that all they want is sixty day sus
pension to give them chance to
sell their surplus of coal which the
mild winter has left on their hands.

UNKNOWN MAN
RESIDENTS OF SOUTH 14TH
STREET TRY TO CATCH A
"JAck THE HuGGER."
TWO GIRLS
The Misses Emerald and Mildred
kemper Were Followed by stran-
eer-PoIice Investigating.

Wednesday night a crowd of ex-
cited residents on South Fourteenth
street chased man down the alley
between Fourteenth and Thirteenth
streets, armed with sticks, bricks,
stones and other hastily seized weap-
ons. Their quarry, frightened out of
his wits by cries of stop thief" and
lynch him." ran with the speed of a
rabbit and soon distanced his pursu-
ers. Had he been captured it is prob
able that he would have been roughly
handled.
The cause of all this excitement
was the effort on the part of an un-
known man to lay hands on the two
young daughters of MIR. and Mrs. Ad-
am H. Kemper, 10S South Four
teenth street, the Misses Emerald and
Mildred.
The two girls Wednesday evening
called at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.

street, to return a borrowed book
About s o'clock they started home

to Mrs. Mullen they noticed man
walk past and scrutinize them closely.
He then walked around the corner of
B street and when the two girls start
ed for home the fellow put in an ap-
pearance again, walking rapidly to
overtake them.
His action frightened the girls bad
ly and they started to run, screaming
loudly as they went. In minute
nearly every neighbor was out on the
street, and, grabbing the first thing
they could lay hands to, started out to
capture the man. He ran into the
yard between c. H. Haner's and John
H. Eggemeyer's homes, with the
crowd hot after him. He vaulted the
fence into the alley and the crowd, aft
er a short pursuit, gave up the chase,
the would-be Jack the Hugger's SUI
perior speed being too much for
them. The police are investigating
the case.
