GIRL WAS LOCKED IN
Afterthought of Clerk Penny
Saved Girl From Spending
Night in Court House.
WAS ON VERGE OF TEARS.

1t was only due to the afterthought
of county clerk Penny that a fourteen
year old girl was not forced to spend
last night as a prisoner in the court
house. The girl had been in atten-
dance q he Lamott-Little trial and
had lei fore court adjourned in
the evening. She did not return until
almost o'clock and just as the clerk
was leaving the building, which had
been locked previously by the jaintor,
Mr.. Penny presumed it probable that
court might be in session and knew
if such were the case others in the
building would have keys. After the
girl had entered the clerk locked the
door.
He had crossed the street and was
en- route home when he thought 1t
might be there was no one left in the
court house but the girl. He return
ed and unlocked the door. There
stood the girl on the verge of tears.
She had gone to the court room and
found it deserted. She returned to
the front door and it was locked. She
was in d quandary as to how to pro-
coed when the clerk returned and solv-
ed the problem for her.

VARIANCE OF STATE
LAWS WAS CAUSE
Affidavit As to Authenticity of
Signature Passed Upon.

An affidavit as to the authenticity OF
the signature Of Harry c. Doan as
subscribing witness to the will of the
late T'ary B. l.. Starr, was prepared in
the Wayne circuit court today. Such
an affidavit was made necessary be
cause Of the variance between the laws
of this state and those of Pennsylvania.
The executors of the will OF Mrs. Starr
had sought to file it for probate and
record in Pennsylvania and learned
that proof of the will by two subscrib-
ing witnesses was required. The
name of Edward Klute appeared as the
other witness. The Pennsylvania law
demands that in case the proof is made
by only one witness the attested sigma
ture of the other must be attached.
The proof of the will had been made by
Mr.. Klute only. Harry Doan, the 9TH
err witness, is now at Kansas City and
the affidavit required was made out
by his father, Walter Doan, who at
tested the signature.

GENERAL PROTEST

commissioners to comply with the re-
quest and proceed according to law.
This means tax payers residing in
Wayne township four or five miles
from the site of the proposed road will
have to pay their share for its con-
struction 1t is doubtless there will
be general protest among the farmers
and rural residents to paying for a
road that they will regard as almost
entirely for the benefit of the city.
The usual method of procedure will
be followed. An engineer and viewer
must be appointed and profile OF the
proposed road must be prepared. The
county auditor must advertise for
bonds and the treasurer dispose of
them. The residents of the township
will be taxed to pay for these bonds.
Another feature provided for by the
law governing such road construction,
is that after the township has been
taxed to build the road. it loses all
vestige of authority over the same.
The law says: After any street shall
have been improved hereunder, the
trustees Of such town or the common
council Of such city shall have control
of the same and shall maintain the
same in repair

TRIBE OF CRIMINALS.
The Mashaya's Greatest Pride Is Sue
esssfui Burglary.


The Maghaya is born in an arhsr
field and schocled to theft from his
infancy. He lives without shelter or
food for the morrow, perpetuslly NOV
ing from encampment to eucampment,
chased by the police and execrated by
the villagers. His greatest pride is a
successful burglary and a prolonged
drinking bout his most coveted re-
ward.
Jail offers no terrors to the dom. 1t
Is merely the result OF being a bun
gler at his trade. The first attempt to
reclaim the Maghaya doms In Cham
parun was made by Mr.. NOW Sir e.
Henry. He found the greater number
of the adult members OF the tribe were
in jail. Every police officer was held
responsible IL any doms were found in
his Jurisdiction. with the result that
as soon as a dom was released from
jail he was usually returned thither
under the bad livelihood sections.
Agricultural settlements were estab-
lished for the tribe, but they do not
seem to have been very successful as
civilizing agencies. The settlements
serve as houses for the women and
children. but the men are seldom found
in them.
The females generally hawk stolen
property In the villages and act as
spies.-Bengal Gazetteer.

The Roman Forum.

The Forum Romanum. the first that
was erected in Rome, served equally
for the purposes Of trade and all pub
lie meetings as we'll as for the admin
istration Of justice by the consuls and
other Roman magistrates. Later on,
when the fora numbered some eight
cen or twenty. they were divided into
two classes, some for public meetings
and the proceedings of the law courts
and others for the various require
ments Of trade. The Roman forum
corresponded to the agora, or market
place. of the Greeks. and no Roman
city was without this important center
of judicial, political and commercial
life.-New York American.

RECEIVER NAMED
FOR THE COLONIAL
Dickinson Trust Company to
Act in This Capacity
For Creditors.
THE MORTGAGE Is HEAVY.
$4,000 is THE AMOUNT AND 1T is
HELD BY PEOPLES LOAN G.
TRUST COMPANY OF WIN
CHESTER.

Application was made i'll the Wayne
circuit court this morning to fore
close a mortgage on Edwin NJ. Camp
field and Gertrude Campfield, his wife,
by James Goodrich, attorney for the
Peoples Loan and Trust company OF
Winchester. The appointment Of a
receiver was asked also, and the DICK
1nson Trust company of this city was
selected. The court has set Tuesday
April I at 10 o'clock as the time the ap-
plication of the plaintiff for the ap-
pointment Of permanent receiver will
be heard.
The loan and trust company seeks to
take charge of the property known as
the Colonial block, located at the cor
ner OF Main and Seventh streets and
including the Colonial annex, located
on South Seventh street, directly in
the rear of the Main street building
The company holds a mortgage for
$4,000 against the defendants. The
First National bank of this city is
named as a defendant, inasmuch as it
as a creditor of Campfield
The receiver is empowered to col
Iect the rents, profits and earnings
arising from the real estate and to
apply the same to the payment of tax
es and necessary improvements for
the preservation of the property and
TO the payment of the principal and
interest of the plaintiffs debt and the
costs OF this suit. The appointment

NEVER TO BE HEARD.
Suit Against Campfeld Not Dismissed
However.

Satisfactory arrangements have been
mad2 by the First National Bank with
Edwin NJ. Campfield, owner Of the Co
1onIa' block and there is no likelihood
The application made by the bank for
receiver for Campfeld ever will be
heard in court. The suit has not been
dismissed. but it will not be brought
TO trial, according to statement Of J.
J.. Rape, the banks attorney. In eX-
planning the present attitude of the
bank, Mr.. Rupe stated everything has
been accomplished outside of court
that could be brought about through
a receiver and consequently none will
be asked for nor needed. Nearly all
of the claim of the bank against Camp
field has been paid and it will not be
necessary to prosecute.
The petition for receiver was
made on the ground Campfield had
violated his contract with the bank
whereby it was provided the bank
would advance him money and he in
turn was to turn over to the bank all
moneys collected as rentals from the
Colonial block. 1t was alleged the dc
fendaut had failed to keep his con
tract.

MUNC|E TEAM SURE
The Union Traction Company
Means Business and Will
Repair Park.
PIQUA READY FOR THE FRAY

Muncie fans are greatly pleased with
the prospects Of having their team in
the 10. league managed by a. J.
Watts, the we'll known Toledo baseball
man. When Mr.. Watts comes to look
the field over he will be welcomed with
open arms.
The sporting writer on the Muncie
Press states that the Union Traction
company is sincere in its efforts to
have a club placed in the field and as
soon as the weather permits the COM
pany will repair the fences and stands
at the West Side Park and make ev-
erything ship shape for the season.
All that it will be necessary for
Watts to do, If he takes control of the
club will be to sign up team that will
keep Muncie in the running from start
to finish-the Muncie fans will then do
the rest. West Side park is quite a
little distance from the center of town
but this handicap would be offset by
good street car and traction service.
At Piqua the majority of stock in the
baseball company has been placed. This
week the promoters of the company
are at work placing the remainder of
the stock and soliciting subscriptions
for season tickets. Their efforts are
meeting with success and at the Van
Vert meeting Sunday, Manager Sank
will be able to report that everything
In his city is in readiness for the open
ing of the season.

Paved With Tombstones.

Not the least noteworthy thing
about the beautiful building" writes
Wochenschrift, referring to the cathe-
dral Of that place, "is the pavement.
This is made with stones on which
there are Hebrew letters. which aroused
our curiosity. Investigation showed
that the stones at one time marked
graves in the Jewish cemetery and had
been taken thence when there was a
scarcity of building material and used
TO pave the cathedral. They have re-
manned there ever since. and some of
the inscriptions are still in fair state
of preservation"
