BEEMAN
Taken Into Custody Shortly
After Release From Pen
Claimed That He Was Terror.
iziHg Residents OF
Miller Township

Just one week after he had been re-
leased from the Ohio penitentiary,
Samuel Beeman was taken into Gus
tody by Sheriff p. J. Parker and Depu-
ty Sheriff Patrick Purcell Friday
morning and locked up in the Knox
county Jail and slated held for war

Prosecuting Attorney Cromley has
not determined what charge will be
preferred against Beeman. 1t is pos
sible he may be held on a peace war.
rant, but it is more than likely that
an affidavit in lunacy will be filed
against him in the probate court.
During the past two or three days,
and in fact nights, Beeman has been
terrorizing the residents of Miller
township and his actions became such
on Friday morning that the sheriff was
notified and Beeman was promptly
picked up and placed in Jail.
Beeman was sent to the Ohio peni-
tentiary about year ago for burglar
izing wagon shed on the Bucking-
ham farm in Miller township. While
I in the act of making an escape he was
shot by Tom Forsythe, who resides
on the Buckingham farm Beeman
was quite badly injured at the time,
but soon recovered and was sent to
the penitentiary for burglary for a per-
iod of fifteen months. On account of
good behavior 'Beeman was released
in less than year, reaching Mt. Yer
non last Friday morning.
Since his release Beeman has again
appeared at the Buckingham farm and
according to the statement of neigh
bors he has been looking for For
sythe and ii is claimed that Beeman
was trying to "even up" and that he
followed around behind Forsythe and
that he was likely to do him bodily
harm.
Forsythe appeared at the Office OF
Prosecuting Attorney Cromley Friday
morning and asked that Beeman be
taken into custody.
1t is also claimed that Beeman has
been writing love letters to Miss Han
ma, who lives on the Buckingham
farm and has been annoying her In a
great many ways.
1t is the belief that Beeman's mind
is unbalanced and it is likely that an
affidavit in lunacy will be filed against

To Give Away Millions To
Help The Farmers

Chicago. Ill.,, May 3-American ten
ant farmers with families are being
sought by Canada.
The Canadian Pacific arilway is so
eager for them that it announces it
will sell each a farm on the easiest
kind of terms and then loan him 81 900
cash with which to get a proper start
in his new home. The company has
appropriated $500 900 to be spent that
way this year $l,O00,000 next year
and $5,000000 annually there after un-
til the available lands are gone.
None but married men who have
been successful as tenants in this
country will be accorded this privil-
ege, but all such may have it until the
appropriation has been exhausted
j. s. Dennis, assistant to the presi-
dent of the railway company, yester-
day made public the terms of the pro.
posal In outlining the scope of the
project, he said;
Loans of $1,000 will be made to
these renters who have demonstrated
their ability to make good on pro-
ductive farm and who have the ma.
chinery and some money, but who lack
enough money to attempt to buy and
stock farm and put on 1t the neces-
| sary buildings.
Good farmers, who can make pay
ment of one tenth of the purchase
price of a farm and have in reserve
enough to maintain their families for
year, will be backed for $4,000 in
of them will be required personally to
inspect and select the land that they
buy and all must be married, This op.
portunity at the outset will be open to
250 men now farming rented land and
their families.
"These successful applicants for
farms and cash capital will become
their own employers when they are
able to assist in the building of the
house, barn and fences which they will
need and for which the $4,000 loans
must be dlsbursed.
"The $4,000 loans will be used to
pay for the buildings, fencing the
farm, putting down a well and cult
waiting and cropping at least so acres
1.-The amount will be added to the
cost price of the land and be payable
during the period of 10 years with
per cent interest which is payable an
nually."
