IS GENEROUS SOUL
Cambridge City Man Presses
His Wealth on County
Clerk Penny.
NEAR ARREST BY SHERIFF

County Clerk Harry E. Penny came
into possession of a valuable watch
this afternoon in a peculiar way
Ward Parsons of Cambridge City
who, it was evident. was under the
influence of liquor called upon the
county clerk and asked for him tC
pass judgment on an article which he
claimed represented the views of the
Spiritualists and the Christian Sci
ence. He also gave Mr.. Penny ten
cents.
About ten minutes later, he return
ed and asked for the loan of % cents
and put his watch on the counter
The loan was refused, Mr.. Penny de
claring that Parsons had money, as
the latter had showed him thirty-five
cents on his first visit. Parsons ex
planned that he gave man twenty
five cents to get out of the court
house. 1t was finally necessary fol
the county clerk to call upon the sher

PREPARE FOR OLYMPICS.
Athletes on Other Side Ready to Senc
Teams to Athenian Games.

Athletes on Other Side Ready to Send
Teams to Athenian Games.
The Olympic games are to be held
at Athens this spring despite the re-
ports to the contrary. and not a few of
the athletes on the other side of the
water are making preparations to be
there. Last fall the English Amateur
Athletic association decided not to
send a team. and now it is said it has
not changed it's policy. but has an
nounced that If the athletes care to
go they are at liberty to do so at their
own expense.
The first country to make definite
move for the Athenian games is Aus
tralia, and the antipodes will send
Wood and Slime for the Marathon race.
Except President Taft might order a
team to be mustered here, there is
hardly any possibility that America
will be represented. Professor Sloane
of Columbia university is the Ameri-
can representative Of the international
Olympic committee, and it is not
known what his views are about send
ing an American team to Athens. The
Amateur Athletic union could muster
a team, and so could the intercollegiate
association, but any foreign mixtures
around April or May would interfere
with the dual college meets and the
championship, SO that the college man
would be out of it for Athens. In
1906, when America sent a team, the
men were not the best in the land, but
nevertheless they won the point of
honors, and no doubt as good a team
if not better could be mustered now.
Only recently President Taft recon-
mended congress to make grant Of
$4,000 to send the athletes to the vi.
emma exposition games next summer
The trip to Vienna for about forty men
would not use up half Of the sum, and
there would be plenty of money to
send the boys down to Athens. They
could go to the Grecian capital first
and take in Vienna and all other games
worth attending On their way home.

he SOLD TO MINORS
Bartender William Eisenhower
Enters Plea of Guilty to
Charge.

William Eisenhower, the bar keeper
in William Green's saloon on North
Eighth street, entered a plea of guilty
in the city court this morning to the
charge of selling liquor to minors.
Two separate cases were filed against
him, and he pleaded gritty to both. In
the case of Paul Selby, a minor to
whom liquor was sold, Isenhower
drew the minimum fine of $40 and
costs His fine was stayed by Ben
Bowling, the Main street saloon keep
er.
The other case against Isenhower is
that of Guy Northern. Although the
bar tender pleaded guilty to selling to
Northern, the decision was withheld
until it is proved that Northern is a
minor. 1t is said that the parents of
the two boys registered the complaint
with the police, which resulted in Isen-
hower's arrest.
