APTUREO AFTER
EXCITING CHASE
Earl Monroe, Board Bill Beat
er, FIees From Officer
Of Law.
WORKS A CLEVER RUSE.
DISAPPEARS AND OFFICER RE-
TURNS TO CITY-FARMER RE-
SPONSiBLE FOR cAPTURE-IS
NOW IN JAIL.

After an exciting chase beginning at
Fourth and Main street, this city and
ending near CenterviIle, Earl Monroe,
fugitive board bill beater, was ar
rested last evening and is now being
held pending an investigation of the
charges preferred against him.
Yesterday Monroe gave Mrs. Mary
Lewis, South Third and A streets, a
worthless order on a local factory for
his room rent, then threw his clothes
out of the window and proceeded to
make his getaway. Monroe had also
carelessly neglected to pay his board
bill. When the boarding house keeper
and Mrs. Lewis complained to police
headquarters, it was learned that Mon
roe had been waiting for west bound
car at Fourth and Main street.
When Officer Gully arrived there he
found that Monroe had disappeared
Gully then went to the car barns where
he was informed that Monroe had left
there on foot just a few minutes be.
fore. Gully soon caught sight of his
quarry and laid chase. Pursued and
pursuer sped across Earlham campus
and thence into the rural districts
Monroe finally succeeded in outdis,
tancing Gully and the latter returned
to town.
Last evening a farmer on the ma
tional road near Centerville tele-
phoned to the police, stating that a
suspicious character had just passed
his farm. Officers Vogelsong and Lit
tie went to make an investigation
and much to their pleasure, succeeded
in apprehending Monroe.
The young man says he escaped
from Gully by ruse. He said that
south of Earlham he jumped over &
fence and snuggled up closely to it
When Gully reached the fence, Monroe
states, he looked over it across the
fields, but not seeing the fugitive gave
up the chase and returned to town
Gully states this story is an exaggera.

James Martin Determined to
Find One Whose Auto
Scared His Horse.
FIRST COMPLAINT AMENDED
SMITH ADDED TO SUIT FILED
SOME TIME AGO FOR $1,000
DAMAGES.

James Martin a farmer living in the
northern part of the county. is appar-
emily determined to find out and seek
to exact justice from the Smith that
dashed down the Webster road in his
automobile, thereby causing it is al
legged, Mr.. Martins horse to wreck
not only itself. but the rig and its
driver, If he has to bring suit for dam
ages against every Smith in the coun-
ty who happens to own an automobile.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Martin
filed suit for $1,000 damages against
Isaac E. Smith, the we'll known local
bridge contractor. When Isaac
Smith of the untold woes he was al
legged to have brough down upon the
head of Mr.. Martin, he was vastly sur
prised, because Mr.. Smith, by most
vigorously searching his memory
could not recollect the time when he
had caused a horse to jump into a
ditch. Martin must be mistaken in
Iht oulIlu. he IuuSeQ, out 10 De on
the safe side Mr.. Smith employed a
lawyer to represent him in the case
Today in the circuit court Mr.. Mar
tins attorneys amended his suit for
damages by adding two more Smiths
to the defendants side of the case
These two were Peter w. Smith, a
prominent resident of this city, and
his son Erman Smith, one of the pro-
prietors of the Arcade theater. Isaac
Smith will probably be dismissed as a
defendant to the suit.
Apparently Mr.. Martin is not Ger.
tain what kind of car it was that
threw panic into old Dobbin and
caused that ordinarily sedate and well
behaved animal to do a Brodie into a
ditch. The car operated by Mr.. Isaac
Smith is a one seated Ford runabout
The car owned by P. w. Smith and
Erman Smith is two seated Buick
touring car. 1t is reported that other
Smiths in the county who own and
operate automobiles are on the anx.
ious seat and that spirit voices con.
stantly whisper in their ears, Better
be careful or Mr.. Martin will get you
if you don't watch out" apologies tc

MISS DONEY WITH MILDRED
LOCKE WALK IN FRONT OF A
PENNSYLVANIA TRAIN.

Cambridge City, Ind, Sept IL
Miss Mildred Doney yesterday even
ing proved herself to be a heroine OF
the noblest type. At the risk of her
own life this young woman seized her
little niece, Mildred Locke. as a rail
road engine bore down upon them
and by herculanian effort, hurled
the child out of the path of danger.
After accomplishing this courageous
act Miss Dnoey did not have time to
save herself and the pilot of the en-
gine struck her a glancing blow,
knocking her down with her left foot
on the rail. One of the front wheels
of the engine passed over her foot,
crushing it to a pulp.
Miss Doney is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George A. Doney and is
eighteen years of age. She has been
for some time in poor health and of
late has been taking treatments in
Connersville for spinal trouble.
Yesterday Miss Doney took her lit.

evening about $50 o'clock. AS they
alighted from the L. E. & w. train
Miss Doney seized her little compan
ion by the hand and started across
the tracks. Neither saw Pennsylvania
train No. s approaching and Miss
Doney was not aware of her danger
until the steel monster was almost
upon her and little Miss Locke. II
was than that determined to sacrifice
her own life if necessary to save the
life of the child.
The Pennsylvania train was not
running fast and after the accident
the engineer stopped the engine be
fore it had gone its own length
When the unfortunate young woman
was pulled from under the wheels
she was conscious and family smiled
at those who were assisting her
While she was waiting to be removed
to the office of physician, the heroic
little woman talked of the accident
and said that no one was to blame
for it. A short time after the accident
Miss Doney's mutliated foot was am
putated. She is expected to recover
although the shock of the operation
and the numerous bruises she sustain
ed are of serious nature.

WRIGHT BROTHERS
ALWAYS YS|NTERESTED
IN AERONAUT|CS
The Rev. Milton Wright, Their
Father, Tells of Boyhood
Inventions of Great In
ventorS.
INSPIRATION CAME
FROM FLYING TOY.
Experiments Following Led to
Invention of Present Aero
plane Have Always Been
Good Mechanics.

Greensboro, Ind, Sept. 17.-One of
the most interesting men attending
the meeting of Whitewater conference
now in session at Sugar Grove, three
miles north of here, is the Rev. Mil
ton Wright, of Dayton, o., formerly a
bishop of the U. B. church. The Rev.
Wright is the father Of the famous
Wright Brothers, Wilbur and Orville,
the inventors of the most successful
aeroplane in the world.
Bishop Wright is we'll advanced in
years, but he is hale and hearty. He
is very proud of the achievements of
his boys, and talks most interesting
ly of their successful efforts to IN
ravel the knotty problem of aerial
navigation without the aid of gas
bags.
He states that the two boys at an
early age showed remarkable mechan-
ical ability, and that they were never
so happy as when working upon some
kind of a mechanical device. About
the first successful machine the lads
perfected was lathe. A grindstone
was used for fly wheel. Orville man.
aged the lathe, while Wilbur furnished
the power with his sturdy arms. This
machine was made while the Wright
family resided in Richmond. 1t was
in that city also, that the two broth
ers first became interested in aerial
navigation and where they made their
first efforts at flight.
Toy an Inspiration.
Bishop Wright states that one day
he returned home with a toy which
was a crude imitation of an aeroplane.
He showed it to the boys and with
wondering eyes they watched the toy
float about the room until it finally
struck the ceiling and remained there
until removed. This toy absorbed the
entire attention of the two brothers
and caused them to begin a series of
experiments which eventually culmin-
ated in the wonderful flights made by
Crville at Washington and Wilbur in
France.
Bishop Wright states that after the
boys had their flying toy, they carefully
constructed very crude airship which
they succeeded in making fly a dis
tance Of about three hundred feet. 1t
IS an odd fact, this first aeroplane
made by the Wright brothers was
started from the ground by the same
system the Wrights now employ-a
small track. The track for their first
airship was made of pine boarding
turned on edge. On these edges hoop
iron was nailed making the track dur
able.
Bishop Wright states that Wilbur
was born near Millville, Henry coun-
ty, forty years ago. Orville was born
in Dayton thirty-six years ago. He
says they have received patents on
their aeroplane from the following
countries: United States. Russia, Ger.
many, France, Belgium, Holland and
England.

DROPS DEAD IN
SUPERIOR COURT
William Irwin Was Questioning
Witness.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 17.-William
Irwin, aged 6S, an attorney well known
throughout the state and judge of the
criminal court from 1882 to 1886, fell
dead while questioning a witness in
the Superior court this morning. His
death was probably due to apoplexy,
but an autopsy will be necessary to
determine the exact cause.
