1t is, perhaps. difficult for many of
the present generation to appreciate
the nations obligations TO the boys in
blue. But for them we should have
no union, and slavery would stain our
civilization. The nation can never re-
pay the debt it owes to these brave
men. but it must never let the story
of their heroic deeds perish from the
annals of mankind or the memory of
the generations yet to come.

Forced Into Confederate Army.

James Clarke, better known as Dad
Clarke, who died at the county in
Urinary near LOgansport, Ind, in
April, had served four years in the
Civil war, but was unable to get into
the soldiers homes in the north or
those maintained in the south for vet
Grams of the Confederate army. His
history is one of the most unusual in
the annals of the war. His ambition
was to get into the soldiers home at
Marion, but his repeated efforts were
futile, and finally in despair he turned
to the county poor farm, and there he
had been for three years, bemoaning
his fate that made him a man without
a home.
Clarke at the outbreak of the Civil
war was travelling through the south
with a number of Irish peddlers. The
majority of these peddlers lived in
Logansport, Marion, Anderson and
other nearby Indiana cities. With
wagons and packs they Travelled
throughout the south selling merchan-
disc of all kinds.
The day war was declared Is of the
Irish peddlers were in Jackson, Miss.
Excitement was high there, and
Clarke and his companions were as
enthusiastic as the natives, only for a
different cause. They hastily planned
to return to Indiana TO enlist and go
to the front. But before they could
leave they were taken into custody.
were pressed into the Confederate
ranks and were compelled to fight
against brothers and friends in the
northern army.
For two years they marched, fought
and lived with the Confederates, ever
,watchful for a chance to escape. So
far all had escaped death and injury.
But during one battle when the two
lines were only few hundred feet
apart, the little band of northerners
planned a dash for liberty. At given
signal they broke for the Yankee lines.
But they had not gone very far before
a hundred Confederate guns We're
turned on them. Twelve fell dead to
the ground, and Clarke, the only sur
vivor, fell to escape the rain of lead
A burly sergeant was about to i'm
pale him with bayonet when a col
onel thrust the sergeant aside, ordered
Clarke back to the line and made him
again take up the fight against the
Yankees.
Soon after this G arke was trans
ferred to Andersonville prison, where
he did guard duty for three months
under Captain Wirz. Compelled 10
shoot at any prisoner who stepped
across the dead line, Clarke always
shot wide of the mark. Later, when
he was sent to the front again, the
company to which he was assigned
was captured in battle by the Union
forces and the prisoners were sent TO
the northern prison near Detroit
Clarke protested that he was a Kan
kee and had been pressed into service.
but none would believe his story.
However, on the third day Of his i'm
prisonment, he met and was recog-
nized by his half-brother, Joe Murphy.

heard of the fate of Clarke and the
other Irish peddlers, and when he ex-
planned the circumstances, Clarke was
paroled and sent back to Logansport

MILLER

F. c. Miller is still looking for his
commission from the governor which
will make him the game warden of
the Tenth Congressional district, al
thought he has been assured of his ap-
pointment ever since Edward Simons
returned from the state capital with
the assurance that Miller would be
recommended.
Mr. Miller refused to talk about the
matter today. He said that he wanted
to walt until he got his commission be-
fore he had anything to say about the
appointment.
The appointment to the office of game
warden of the Tenth Congressional
district will give Mr. Miller jurisdic-
fion over Lake. Porter. LaPorte. War
rem. Tippecanoe. Benton. White, New
ton and Jasper counties.
Miller will have jurisdiction over the
Kankakee marsh region and conse-
qCently over the best hunting and fish,
ing territory in the state of Indiana.

HILL MAKES
WHIRLW|ND
CAMPAIGN

Considerable interest is being shown
in the race for the county treasurer
ship of Lake county. The only candi-
dates in the field SO far are w. A Hill
of Hammond and Gully Swanson of Ho-
bart.
Swanson is making a good campaign,
as was expected. but w. A Hill is
making a great deal better campaign
than was expected. It was not thought
that Hill would make very much of a
campaigner. but he is surprising some
of the old time politicians by his ae-
tivity.
He bobs up in the most unexpected
places and seems to be working all of
the time. Those who thought that
Swanson had the nomination cinched
at first are now saying that he had
better get a move on or he might be
surprised at the result.
There is the best feeling prevailing e
all around and 1t is probable that who
ever is nominated will have the loyal
support of the defeated candidate.

Mr.. Herman relied entirely on his ar

his argument on two contentious; to-
wit: that the word erect" in the affida-
Wit and in the ordinance does not mean
hang and furthermore that the per-
nit license of SO for each sign is pro
nlDitive. He brought with him leaves
torn from a Webster's dictionary and
cited the definition of the word erect
He based his principal argument on
this, and, of course. was not in position
to cite any cases on the permit license
being prohibitive.

bROKAW
JUMPS
BOND
Man Arrested in Hammond
Last Fall for Attempting
to Rob Express Co. Fails
to Appear in Chicago
Court.

Eugene Brokaw who was recently
tried in Hammond and acquitted by a
local jury of attempting to defraud c.
E. Tunison, the agent of the American
Express company, by means of forged
travellers checkes, was to have ap-
peared in the criminal court in Chi
cago last Tuesday to answer to a SINH
lar charge, but jumped his bail and did
not put in an appearance
Brokaw evidently feared that the
Chicago jury would not be as ienient
with him as the Hammond one was
and so he left his bondsman, who had
signed a $500 bond. and skipped out
of the country.
The expressscofnpany had Drouzht !
number OF witnesses ar or the az
from Canada. and there were mum
sber of other witnesses present, inelud-
ing C. z. Tunison of Hammond
Finally the attorney for the fugitive
appeared in court and said that he
would have to be excused, as his client
was nowhere to be found. Mr.. Tunisor
is of the opinion that this establishes
the guilt of Brokaw beyond the ques-
tion of a doubt
Brokaw masqueraded here under the
name of A. A. Long. Every one who
had anything to do with the case was
of the opinion that he was guilty OF
the charge but Attorney Conroy, who
defended the prisoner, was able te
raise the technicality that the state hat
charged Brokaw with defrauding c. E
Tunison when he should have beer
charged with defrauding the American
Express company, and so the prisoner
was released.
