There was long way to go, and
Mahomed was too wise and cautious
to congratulate himself at this early
stage. George was thereupon trussed
up like a Christmas fowl ready for
the oven. They wrapped him up in
the burnouse and carried him out to
the closed carriage in waiting. No
one in the street seemed curious. No
one in the English-Rar deemed it nee
essary to be. Whatever happened in
this resort had long been written in
the book Of fate. Had white man
approached to inquire what was going
on, Mahomed would have gravely
whispered that 1t was case of
plague they were hurrying away to
prevent interference by the English
authorities.
Once George was snug inside the
carriage, it was driven off at run
toward the tombs of the caliphs. AS
the roads were not the levelest, the

victim, watchful and attentive. His
intention was to take him no far

that the young man would find some

had recovered and was grimly fighting
the imprisoning ropes.

VIII Take Bank Position.

On the first of April J. C. White
sell will sever his connection with
the County Clerks office, where he
has been helping Clerk Kitch since
the first of the year, and will enter
the First National Bank Of Marshall
county.
Plymouth people will be glad that
Mr.. Whitesell will continue to be a
resident of the city. He has pur-
chased the new house built by Floyd
Miller on north Michigan street, and
will move into the property the last
Of the week.
This addition to the force of this
bank will enable Mr.. James A. Gil,
more to take little more leisure.
His health is not so good as when he
entered the service of this institu-
tion thirty-eight years ago the 10th
day of September, 1911, anil he de-
serves a little rest time. With the
addition OF Mr.. Whitesen no one
need be overtaxed, as he is work
er, and well qualified to perform
the duties required.
Mr.. Gilmore has served the Gus
toners of this bank for all these
years pleasantly and satisfactorily,
and he is among the older business
men of the city, respected and
honored by all. He was for many
years City Treasurer, and has serv-
ed on the School Board, and in var
ious positions that prove him a pub
lie spirited gentleman. and now If
he shall be given an easier task for
time, his friends will be glad, for
he deserves it if any man does.

He SEEMED HAPPY ENOUGH
Accident Occurs In the Kitchen Of
His Home, While His Wife
Was In. Another
Room.

The city was shocked at eleven
'clock today by the report that
Worley Seybold had accidentally or
otherwise shot himself through the
head, and that he probably could
not live
At about twenty minutes before
eleven, as he stood alone in the
kitchen, his wife being in another
part of the house, Mr.. Seybold,
probably from intention in a fit Of
dependency, sent a 32-calibre ball
through his head, the bullet going
from temple to temple. This after
noon he was still alive and partly
conscious.
Mrs. Seybold rushed to the kitchen
on hearing the report and beheld
the awful scene. She called her
relatives and neighbOrs and three
doctors all of whom we're soon there
to do whatever they possibly could
to save his life. Mrs. Seybold with
stood the shock bravely, and was
soon taken to the home Of her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. James Thayer in
order that she could be kept as
quiet as possible with her baby.
Mr.. Seybold seemed to be as
happy as usual this morning and al
so last night. On Saturday his
mother was here on a visit to him
and went home on the Vandalia
This morning Mr.. Seybold came
down town and telephoned to his
mother about some money matters
and it seems received an unfavorable
reply. From the telephone booth he
went to Wenzler's store and bought
some gum, and then went home.
Tho revolver with which the deed
was done has been in the home fol
about year. Mrs. Seybold was al
ways nervous about staying alone
and wanted the weapon handy in
case of eed. Mr.. and Mrs. Seybold
were married in May, 1909.

Worley Seybold the young man
who shot himself Monday morning,
died at 2:30 Tuesday morning. He
was removed from his home to the

Silas and Hubert Seybold.
Mrs. Seybold and her son Hubert
arrived in Plymouth Monday eve
ming at about HOO o'clock, having
come from Darlington, on hearing
the news. The impression that got
out, as many other stories did,
that he had phoned to his mother
early in the. morning for money,
became dishearted on getting an ad-
verse reply, is wholly without found
alton, as no message was passed be-
tween them at all.
The body was taken from the
hospital where he died to the home
of James W. Thayer early Tuesday
morning. The funeral will be held
on Thursday, and will be strictly

PROF. A. |. LEWARK IS
IN DOMESTIC TROUBLES
FILES SUIT IN N0BLESvnLE
FOR DIVORCE, CHARGING
WIFE WITH INSANE JEAI.-
OUSY-HAVE NOT LIVED TO-
GETHER FOR SOME TIME.
(Noblesyille Ledger)

Prof. Artlie L. Lewark, principal
of the Third Ward school, through
his attorneys, Gentry & Cloe, filed
suit in court Saturday for di-
vorce from Ollie Lewark. The al
legations are out of the ordinary as
the plaintiff attempts to show that
his wife has manifested such a
jealous disposition as to make their
entire married life unhappy. They
were married in 1906 and separated
last October. In his complaint Prof.
Lewark says that his wife has son
by a former marriage who has
been making his home with them.
The plaintiff claims this young man
has frequently jeered at him, has an
uncomfortable temper and in many
other ways made their home un-
happy. Prof. Lewark recalls in his
complaint that before coming to
Noblesville two years ago he taught
in Marshall county AID as super
intendent he was compelled to ad-
wise with the lady teachers under
him as to their work. The wife,
he alleges, objected to his conduct
in this respect and without any just
cause whatever circulated bad re-
ports concerning the teachers and
one young lady teacher in particular
who called at their home once or
twice to consult with him about
school matters. She became angry.
he says, pouted, fretted, fused and
cried. He further alleges that his
wife became so jealous of him,
that she would not permit him to at
tend any social functions held in
connection with the schools. Such
coditions, for which his wife was
responsible, Prof. Lewark says, fin
ally forced him to resign.
The domestic atmosphere in this
household then began to clear some
what, the plaintiff says, because his
wife promised to be good and make
no further trouble if he would locate
elsewhere. He came to Noblesville
and Prof. Lewark says it was not
very long until his wife began to
show signs of dissatisfaction along
the same line. He asserts that she
has used vile names in speaking of
certain lady teachers in the Mobiles
vile schools and circulated other
derogatory to his character. He
claims he has contributed $55
month toward her support since their
separation. At the time of their
marriage he held 5000 mortgage on
Indianapolis real estate which he
placed in a safety deposit vault in
this city for safe keeping. In some
manner, unknown to him and with
out his knowledge or consent, Prof.
Lewark says, this paper got into the
possession of his wife or her at
torneys and is still in their custody.
Some time ago Mrs. Lewark fled q
suit In court against her husband for
support.
Prof. Lewark was formerly super
intendent at Lapaz.

Circuit Court News.

The case Of Buck VS.. Koontz has
occupied the attention of the judge
and jury since Monday. The case
is one that was sent here from
Starke county, and has taken turn
so that the defendant really be-
comes the plaintiff. Some shares in
a Morgan County, Missouri. Coal
Company were sold to Samuel
Koontz, who used to live near
Koontz' Lake in this county, but
moved to Starke county some years
ago. A note was given for payment
of the stock, but before the money
was paid the note was transferred to
Ira d. Buck. Later it was learned
that the stock was of no value, or
it was claimed to be of no value,
and it was rendered back, and pos
session of the note asked for, on the
ground that the whole thing was a
fraud Of course the note was in
the hands of an innocent purchaser,
and payment was demanded, and on
refusal suit was brought. Later
when an effort was made to post
pone the case, the defendant de-
manded that the legal steps be TAX
en- to declare the note settled by
surrender of the stock, which
amounts to $1,000. In this way the
defendant becomes the plaintiff,
and presents his case first. II Is IN

the decision is awaited anxiously.
