LAKE ERIE BILL
BELIEVED INSANE
Man Who Turned Tramp when
Crossed in Love Held at
Cambridge City.
HE BROKE INTO A STORE
AND WAS PROMPTLY ARRESTED,
AND AN EFFORT WILL be MADE
TO SEND HIM TO THE EAsTHAv-
EN- HOSPITAL.

Turning tramp twenty years ago
when his betrothed married another,
Thomas McMahan. better known in
the central west as Lake Erie Bill"
was arrested at Cambridge City on
Wednesday evening and he will be
held in custody in an effort to place
him at Eastern Indiana hospital for
the insane.
"Bilfs" story is unusually pathetic.
When about thirty years old he
was employed In Cambridge City as
a machinist and he was very skillful
at his trade. One day he threw down
his tools and shortly afterwards 1t
was learned that the girl to whom he
was engaged and who lived in Co
lumbus. Ohio. had bee married. He
brooded over the affair and finally
became q common hobo.
Although his mentality has never
been strong since then, he was not
considered dangerous. He endeavored
to drown his troubles by whisky and
has drawn but few sober breaths in
many years. He sleeps in the open,
even in the coolest weather and APP
parently is healthy physically. He
visits Cambridge City two or three
times every year. spending a day or
two in the community.
On Wednesday evening he broke
into Boards cigar store, but was ar
rested before he had secured anything
Of value. This fs the frst time he
ever entered on crime. Marshal
Drischel placed him in the county Jail
on Thursday morning. It IL doubt
full II the charge against him will be
prosecuted.

Hooven In turn sold the local lines
of the company to the Richmond Light
Heat and Power company which COM

ONLY SMALL FUND
FOR THE BRIDGES
County Not to Spend Much
Money on Them During
the Coming Year.
SEVERAL NEED REPAIRING
AND A FEW NEED TO De RE-
PLACED BUT COMMISSIONERS
WILL MAKE THEM 90 FOR At
LEAST ANOTHER YEAR.

Less than $4,000 will be spent on
bridges in Wayne county in 1911 &C
cording to the present outlook. The
county commissioners with Bridge En-
gineer Miller have inspected all
bridges In the county and while they
found many which needed repairs and
others which should be- replaced. an
eff will be made to get along an
other year on q comparatively small
appropriation.
In Dalton township and on the New
Paris pike there are bridges which
will DO replaced in al probability. The
roads are blocked now because Of
holes In the floors. There are two
fords In Jefferson and Harrison town
ships which farmers demand be bridg-
ed. Attention will be given these
cases.
Old steel bridges which are in good
condition and sufficiently heavy in de.
sign will be repaired by wooden floor
ings being taken up and replaced with
concrete floors. The reason why
more moneycan not be spent on
bridges next year 10 that all available
funds will be used in other equally
II not more important ways. As a
whole the bridges are not In such q
condition but that they can 60 anoth-
or year without repairs.
Bridges are Of great importance to
farmers. Several in Harrison town
ship estimated that 1t cost them a
cent more . bushel on wheat to haul
It q roundabout way to the mill In or.
der to avoid using the ford.

Gov. E. D. Morgan Of New York, his
predecessor in the national chairman

dred thousand dollars to conduct Lin
coins first campaign, but 1t was es-
timated by the party leaders that con-
siderably more than double that sum
