MYSTERIOUS md
lana MURDER
(By Associated Press. }

Vincennes, Ind, March 25.-Mrs.
Jesse Overton Culbertson was found
dying last night as a result OF the
use of carbolic acid and she passed
away today. She was found in a
shed in the home of her husband s
father, Joshua Brazeltin and wife
She was bound and gagged and her
arms and head were bruised as If
she had struggled. After being car
ried into the house she said: "a
man and woman dragged me out to
the closet and into the shed and
forced me to swallow something"
She then lapsed into Inconsistencies
and remained so until death. The
woman's husband, Russell gilbert
son, bookkeeper at Lawrenceville, de-
clares he is confident his wife was
murdered by persons whose identity
he knows but would give no further
information except to the police. The
wife had received letters threatening
if she did not give up her husband
she would be killed. A letter was
found in the handwriting of a wo-
man who was a friend Of Culbertson
before the husband married. The
Culbertsons married last January.
Mrs. Culbertson had been followed
and the house had been watched so
that the police consider the case
mysterious.

Many famous men have their names

Some think that the famous outlaw
of the ballads was myth. mere pc.
etlc conception and creature Of the
popular mind, but Mr.. Hunter in his
research into the person and period Of
Robin Hood holds that he was born
between 1885 and 1895, living through
the reign of the second Edward and
into the early years Of the third. He
was Of a family Of some station seat
cd near Wakefield and supported the
Earl of Lancaster In his rebellion
against the government. When the
earl fell and his followers were pro.
scribed Robin Hood took to the woods
and supported himself by Staying the
wild animals found in the forest and
by lcvying species Of blackmail on
passengers along the great road which
united London and Berwick. This
continued for about twenty months,
from April. 1922, to December, 1928.

name of Robyn Hode was a "varlet"
Of the king in 1924.
DR.. Spencer 4. Hall says that Robyn
was created Earl Of Huntington by a
London ballad writer hard up for a
word to rhyme to Little John. Be
this as 1t may, Robin Hood will always
be the hero of romance. and those who
love romance will refuse to believe
that he never existed.-London Globe.

So the chalk mark IN the form Of q

forth upon the street.
Strangers and acquaintnnces hailed
him to tell him Of the mark on his

The Union Farmers Club met

cordially invited to meet with
them and Of course we gladly
accepted as we are never known

always sure of a treat not only
in the fine dinner but in the
kindly welcome always given
by the Union Club people and
Mr.. and Mrs. Doty and all the
family certainly do succeed in
making every one feel at home
by their cordial hand shake
that speaks from the heart.
This club is doing much good
not only among its members
but it is extending an influence
that will be known in after
years. Influence is to man
what fragrance is to the flower
it does not develope strength
or determine character but is
the measure of his interior
worth, and as the blossom can
not tell what becomes of the
odor which is waited away
from it by every wind, so no
man knows the limit of influence
which constantly and impercept-
ably escapes from his daily life.
We neither see nor hear it yet
unconsclously we exert it. |

very good speeches made and
young people should have good

will save many an heartache. l
can conceive of no spectacle
better calculated to lead the
young to serious reflection than
that of an aged person who has
misspent a long life and who
where standing near the end of
life's journey looks down the
long vista of years only to re-
call opportunities unimproved.
Regrets are useless save when
they awaken in the young a
wish to avoid error and a de-
sire to gather only the true

at Ames College have been over
much of the state in what is
termed Corn and Dat Special
and they are now contemplat-
