Unlike eagles of other sections OF the
country the golden eagles were much
larger. more fierce, swifter OF flight and
OF a different color. Tho feathers and

Old Sentinel had been one Of the pioneer

eggs which hatch in eight hours, the

Echo of Guinness Tragedies.

The story of the finding of the dis
membered body of Andrew Helge-
lein a rich North Dakota farmer, in
January, 1909, on the farm of Mrs.
Bella Guinness, at Laporte, was told
yesterday in the Laporte circuit
court before Judge J. C. Richter and
jury in the case of Fred NJ. Pit
ner, administrator of the Helgelein
estate, against Wesley Fogle, exc
cutor OF the last will and testament
OF Mrs. Bella Guinness.
Pitner is suing to recover $4,000
which Mrs. Guinness induced Helge-
lein to draw from bank. 1t was
shown that Mrs. Guinness, after Hell
gelein's disappearance, which was
but two days after the money had
been drawn from the bank, paid
notes and bills around town amount
ing to more than $1,000.
After the disposal of this claim
Mns Brunhilda Larson, of Chicago,
a sister OF Mrs. Guinness, will be one
OF the three persons to share in the
Guinness estate.

MADE AN OFFICIAL GRAFT.
Governor Marshall's Probing Shows
Conditions in Jeffersonville Re-
formatory.

Indianapolis, june 3O.-The inwesti-
CATION started by Governor Marshall
into rumors of irregularities in con-
nection with the management OF the
INDIANA Reformatory at Jeffersonville
has disclosed what some Hoosiers
might call 'tolerably fair" official
scandal, and the summary dismissal
of Assistant Superintendent Barnard
has confirmed the rumors and
brought out the fact that the investi-
CATION is to be carried further
Through some means, not known
to the public, the governor learned
that Barnard was receiving salary
OF 500 per month from one of the
contractors at the prison in addition
to the salary paid him by the state
and that this arrangement had been
in effect for six years.
1t also developed that the wives
OF Superintendent Whitaker and
Assistant Superintendent Barnard
had received Christmas presents Of
diamond rings from one of the con-
tractors Late in April, after Whit
taker had been urged by friends to
do so yhe returned the ring that Mrs.
Whitaker had received, but Mrs.
Barnard has hers yet
The charge of Barnard being in the
pay of the contractor was made by
Superintendent Whitaker and it has
since developed that Barnard was al
so borrower from the contractor
to rhe extent of $1,000.
Barnard had the assignment of the
convicts to contractors and could
select the best and strongest mem for
work under any contractor he pleas
ed. This would make his co-opera-
ton very valuable to a contractor
and it is assumed that it was in this
way that he earned the 500 per
month.
Dr. Sharp, who recently was ap-
pointed trustee and who has charge
of the investigation for the governor
said that it was inconceivable tina,
such things should go on for six
years and no suspicious be aroused
1t is believed there will be a clean
sweep at the institution.
