COURT IN SESSION At
CALHOUN THIS WEEK
Will Probably be a Short Term
Next Session Will be
at Hartford.

Judge Birkhead is now at Cal
boon, Mclean county, where he is
to hold a term of court, including,
both criminal and civil cases. The
regular term is supposed to last
through two weeks, but it is the
opinion of the court that the term
on this occasion will not last longer
than a week.
One week from Monday, Judge
Birkhead will convene a regular
term of court at Hartford, which
will be in session for probably the
full two weeks. during which time
he will hear both civil and criminal
cases.
Judge Birkhead will be in a posi-
ton to do work as special judge for
week between the Calhoon and
Hartford terms, but it is not known
whether or not the Governor is in
need of a special judge at this time.

Another Auto Horror.

Springfield, ILL.,. Oct. 1.-Larue
Verdenbergh, aged 90, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Verdenbergh, of Spring
field, was instantly killed in the TWEEN
ty-mile automobile race at the State
fair grounds track late to-day when
a standardization car he was driv-
ing plunged through a fence Yer
denbergh was almost decapitated.
Sitting in the amphitheater was
his bride of but few months. She
was watching her husbands racing
car No. 81, which was on the eighth
lap O. the twenty-mile race, with
ney Oldfield leading.
When an accident was reported
and the crowd started to rush to-
ward the west turn of the track,
Mrs. Verdenbergh noticed that her
husbands car was missing from the
string of racing automobiles, as they
flew past the grand stand. Then
came the news that her husband had
been killed. She tainted and was
taken away in an automobile ambu-
lance.

FIRST VICTIM OF ELECTRIC
CHAIR IN KENTUCKY

Stanford, KY, Oct. 1.-The first
man to be legally electrocuted in
Kentucky will in all probability be
Shay Pellman, the negro who was
to-day given a death sentence by a
jury for committing an assault upon
Nancy Rankin. a ten-year-old white
girl.
Judge Walker set December 16 for
the negro's execution, but his at
torneys have already served notice
of an appeal. so some delay may be
encountered.
Pellman was taken to Lexington
for safe keeping, and the Somerset
Company of State Guards, who have
been here during the trial, left for
home. The jury was out four hours
on the case, one man holding out
that long for a life sentence.

SERVICES CONTINUE
AT CHRISTIAN CHURCH

The revival services at the Hart
ford Christian church continue this
week with increased interest and en-
larged congregations. Bro. Clarke
is proving himself a speaker of abil-
ity and Miss Myers has captured the
hearts of all the people with her
beautiful solos. Her boys and girls
choir is also doing splendid service,
singing a special song nearly every
night.
Last Sunday night one of the larg-
est audiences ever in the church
house listened with rapt attention to
Rev. Clarke as he preached from the
subject, What will you do with
Jesus?" The message was a force
full one and the souls of all were
stirred with the appeal of the Christ.
No one should miss hearing the fol-
lowing subjects discussed;

tions with the defendants husband,
Balm Eblen. When she came and
took the stand at the examining trial
she absolutely denied any Illicit re-
lations with Balm Eblen.
Mrs. Eblen's fourteen-year-old
son, Howard Eblen, is an important
witness for the defense.
Mrs. Eblen's father, ]. II. Howard,
is a prominent farmer of this coun-
ty, and with the aid of his two sons,
MILFORD and ID. A. Howard, of this
city, is seeking to have the law vim
dictate his daughter.
1t will probably take two or three
days to secure a jury in this case, as
it has been so widely discussed and
published by the newspapers.
After the jury is empaneled it will
take at least three or four days to
hear the evidence, about a day and a
half to hear the oral argument, and
then there's no telling how long it
will take the jury to decide.

contest was one of the most exciting
and certainly the closest ever run
since men began to take their lives
in their hands at the wheels of the
speeding monsters. Only % seconds
was Harry Grants margin of victory
foi his long, black racer. Just that
little space behind him came Joe
Dawson in the bright yellow Mar
mon. Grant and his helpers at one
critical moment made tire change
more quickly than Dawson and his
men could accomplish the feat. That
won for him.
In front of both of them flashed
the big blue National, piloted by
Jack Aitken. But it had started be-
fore them and owed them time. For
minutes there was a turmoil of
shouting by the admirers of all these
cars. So close were they that no in
expert spectator could tell which had
won. The National, when it was fig
uTeu OUT, ran lulIug W bcSOhuo bO-
hind the Marmon. No big auutomo-
bile speed contest has ever had a
more thrilling finish.
But even in the minds of the ap-
parently calloused enthusiasts there
arose the question on the weary way
home; "Was it worth while?"
1--WE had enough" said many a
spectator.
An air of general depression,
in vivid contrast to the gay
ETY. and license of the night
before, seemed to pervade
the returning crowd, both the motor
parties and train loads. Unless in
two weeks they forget-which may
be possible-not great number of
New York's speed fanatics will go TO
witness the Grand Prize Race, sched-
uled to be held over the same course,
only with faster cars and even more
reckless drivers, on October Is.

FOUR CASES BEFORE
COURT OF APPEALS
From Judge Birkhead's Court in
Daviess and Ohio COun-
ties Affirmed.

A special from Frankfort says
that the Court of Appeals has affirm
ed Judge Birkhead in four cases.
The first case was Moses Bellamy
against the F. A. Ames company.
This was a suit brought to recover
$1,000 damages for injuries sus-
tanned in January, 1910. Bellamy
was employed to carry brick in the
erection of building near the Car
riage Woodstock company, and while
at work, one of the walls fell, and
the plaintiff received a number of
injuries, including a broken leg.
On the trial of the case, Judge Birk-
head gave peremptory instructions
to the jury, on the idea that no neg
ligence had been shown on the part
of the defendant. Another case for
the same amount Of damages,
brought by John Norris, is still on
the docket in the Circuit Court, and
the same questions being involved,
this case will now be dismissed.
The case of V. B. Berry against
Sam Pate and others, was also af-
frmed. Berry brought suit to re-
cover about two-thirds of an acre of
ground lying near greensboro, and
also sued out an injunction against
Pate from occupying same. Berry
won before Judge Birkhead, and
Pate appealed, with the same decis-
ion in the appellate court.
The case of Luther Willis against
E. B. Mason, involving the title to
some land, was also affirmed. Ma
son won in the lower court as we'll
as in the Court of Appeals.
Judge Birkhead was also affirmed
in the case of Tichenor against Rock,
appealed from Ohio county.

Indiana Man Pursued and
Shot Her.
POURED OIL UPON DEAD BODY
Applied a Match, and With a
Gun Held Her Uncle
At Bay.
FLED FOR REGIONS UNKNOWN

Brooksville, Ind, Oct. 3.-Charles
Biddle, aged % years, formerly of
Shadeland and Chalmers, Ind, shot
his young wife to death at 4 o'clock
this morning at the home of her un-
Gle, Louis Koehler, of Peppertown,
six miles from Brooksville.
Biddle then poured kerosene upon
the body and applied a match.
Koehler, who was asleep in a
building adjoining the house, was
awakened by the shot and rushed to
doorway, but was met by Biddle,
who declared that he would kill him
if he interfered. Bddle carried a
shotgun.
Biddle then fled, going to Meta
mora, where he forced barber 10
rise and shave off his mustache and
a short beard.
He then bought a ticket for Gin
cinnati and departed on the first
train.
Koehler, a bachelor, lives alone at
Peppertown. Two weeks ago Mrs.
Biddle came to the home of her un-
Gle, saying that her husbands treat
ment of her had been such that she
was compelled to leave him.
At o'clock last night Biddle un-
eXpectedly arrived at Koehler's home
and demanded to see his wife.
Their meeting, Koehler says, APP
parently was friendly.
Biddle pleaded dramatically with
his wife to return to him, promising
that he would treat her properly, but
she hesitated.
What further conversation took
place between Biddle and his wife is
not known to Koehler, as he left the
couple alone, hoping that they would
become reconciled.
When Biddle escaped, following
the murder, Koehler ran to the
home of a neighbor, William Alley,
a school teacher, and together they
broke in door of the Koehler home.
They found the body of Mrs. Bid
die in flames. 1t was on the floor.
The skull had been shattered.
1t was with great difficulty that
they saved the house from destruc-
ton.
For some reason not explained the
authorities were not notified until
several hours after the crime. This
gave Biddle a big start.
Biddle wore a brown suit with
gray stripes and a soft black hat.
His hair was light. He weighed
about 100 pounds.
Mrs. Biddle formerly was Annie
Wideman, of Connersville, Ind,
where her mother still resides. She
had been married twice. She was
married to Biddle at Lafayette, Ind.
Her age was 29 years.
By telephone the murdered wo-
mans mother informed Sheriff Ba-
ker that she never had seen Biddle
until yesterday, when he arrived at
her home, seeking the whereabouts
of his wife.

His Usefulness mt End
Eighteenth. We regret the condi-
lions which make this action on our
part necessary: 1t has been painful
duty. We recognize the fact that tha
man who Is at the head of a great
educational institution cannot be
oninopresent or omnisctent, but he
must be held responsible for the or
Eanization and coordination of his
departments. for the policies that
that he employs, for the atmosphere
which pervades his institution, for the
general morale of his college. for the
discipline that Is enforced. and for
the results which he accompanies:
the efficiency and the prosperity and
the power for good of this great In
stitution must not yield TO the for
tunes OF any one man. The plumbers
Of DIR. Rerringer have been so serious
and SO numerous, and the results Of
his administration have been in so
many directions disastrous that we
feel that his opportunity for useful
ness in his present position has ceas-
ed. The situation has become acute.
1t is now a question OF the future pro-
sress and development of this great
educational institution, and we feel
that this progress and deVelopme en-
can be best promoted by the resigna-
ton of DIR. Barringer.
