A Shameful Case.

a One or the worst pieces of Grimm al
work ever brought to light in Crown
Point was barred to the public gaze last
evening when Delbert Gibbs, man
of some forty years OF age, was ar
rested charged with mistreating Myrtle
McColley. the nine-year-oId daughter
OF Orrin McColiey. Sheriff Grant and
his deputies are responsible for dis
covering the nefarious work of Gibbs,
and have enough evidence on the man
TO make his chances of freedom for
many years to come very slim and un-
certain. According to what has been
disclosed Gibbs and McColley, the faith
er of the little girl, have been living
in the Oser house on South East street
for some time. The place has long
been under the suspicion OF Sheriff
Grant. but not until Sunday, when the
girls grandparents went to see her to
get her to leave the place, was there
anything to substantiate that any
thing was really wrong in the mans
actions Upon being requested 10 turn
the girl over to his keeping by the
girls grandparent Gibbs positively re-
fused to do so, and although there is
absolutely no relationship between
Gibbs and the girl she seemed willing
and anxious to stay with him. Sheriff
Grant was called over from the county
jail near by and quickly settled the
matter as far as Gibbs keeping the
child at the East street place was con-
cerned Gibbs, however. persisted In
his attentions to the girl, and 1t was
this fact that made the subsequent in
vestigations by the sheriffs force and
resulted in Gibbs being arrested on
the serious charge 1t as said the lit
tie girl has revealed a shocking tale
of perfldy to women engaged to hear
her evidence. and a doctors examina-
ton strongly bore out the story re-
lated by the unwilling lips of the
young child. The preliminary hearing
will take place before Judge McMahan
this morning and no doubt Gibbs will
be bound over to the circuit court
under heavy bond. With McCol1ey in
jail for chicken stealing and the grave

Chicken Thieves Tried.

Inc TWO chicken thieves, Orrfn Nc
Colley and Oates. were let off in rather
easy manner yesterday by jury hear
ing their cases in the circuit court. and
but for the fact that the prosecutor
failed to make mention of McColle's
previous criminal record in the afA-
davft. he escaped a possible peniten-
tiary sentence. McColley was fined
$50 and costs and sixty days in the
county jail, with two years disenfran-
chisement Oates was fned by his jury
the sum of one dollar, sixty days in the
county jail and two years disfran-
chisement. Edwin Knight, the county
poor lawyer. defended the two chicken
thieves, while Deputy Prosecutor
Smith had charge of the states case.
The men were only charged with petit
larceny and but for that fact their
sentences were not near as severe as
several on both juries would have ex-
acted If It could have been possible.
Both men on being sentenced by Judge
McMahan were severely reprimanded
and in the event of any future trouble
from they they will be severely dealt
with. 1t is hoped this will put an end
to the nefarious work of chicken thiev-
cry in Crown Point, and If it is not
successful woe .betide the next fellow
caught for the same offense.

"For years Rev. George Stuart was
with Rev. Sam 2. Jones in the evan

for that marvellous reformer and
preacher. Mr.. Stuart is a remarkable
man. His wealth of thought and ex-
preston is surprising. His words
burst from his soul like great tor
rent from its mountain source and
sweep over his crowds, stirring them,
moving them, uprooting them. He is
wise In the choice of illustrations and
master in their use. Sam Jones'
genius was never better displayed than
