The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1912-09-02

An Indianapolis newspaper prints
the following story about the turtle
industry of Richmond.
Richmond has been termed by some
cne as the "original" turtle soup town
Of the country, and it might be inter
esting to know that the present season
in Richmond has seen the consump-
ton of more than ten tons of mud tur-
ties" taken from the smaller streams
of Indiana and adjoining states. Be
fore frost comes and the lovers of tur-
tie soup have their fill until next
spring, the total consumption will
have reached more than thirteen tons.
There is one Richmond man who
traffics in mud turtles, and he supplies
nine-tenths of the saloons and chop
houses with this soup material. Tom
Castle, of East Germantown, is the
prince of turtle catchers, and with his
little "crew" begins his work early in
the spring, traversing stream after
stream in eastern Indiana and making
weekly shipments to the Richmond
dealer AS the season advances Cas-
ties crew gets farther and farther
away from Richmond and just now his
catches are in Illinois. Wherever Cas-
tie may be, however his weekly ship
ments average up pretty we'll through
cut the season, and apparently there is
no such thing as a poor catch.
Unlike the sportsmen who are con-

Richmond Loves lis Turtle Soup

tent to await ideal conditions in try
ing for a catch of bass or other game
fish, the turtle hunter finds that one
season is as good as another, for the
mud turtle is seldom lured by bait and
hook, and the professional hunter re-
lies on nothing save his supreme
nerve in delving into the soft. beds OF
streams or beneath a moss covered
bank with his hands One hundred
pounds day is not out of the ordinary
for Castle and his men and frequently
the day will net double this number.
Dozens of Richmond saloons and
restaurants dispense turtle soup
throughout the spring and summer and
fall, patrons buying it by the bowl or
calling with buckets for family sup
plies Fried turtle is declared by the
turtle experts to be dish de luxe and
they say that the tenderest fried chick
en- is outclassed in comparison.
Just how Richmond became the cen
ter of the turtle belt is not explained
but it is fact that for more than thir
ty years numerous saloons and restau
rants have featured turtle soup and
the consumption has been on the in
crease year after year, until now the
professional hunter can not cOnhne
their energies to one locality, but CO
er hundreds of miles in a season tC
supply Richmond alone, for none OF
Castles catch goes to other places.

RUDE SHOCK GIVEN
CAMPERS At PARK
Boys in the white City"
Have a Wild Time Last
Night of Chautauqua.

After lying dormant for a period of
ten days and nights several groups
of boys who have been camping at
the chautauqua, came to life during
last night and made things merry
and also noisy about the west side of
the grounds. Fussy old people became
nervous at the queer sounds that is
sued from the darkness and those who
gathered sufficient nerve to leave their
couches and peep through the tent
flaps, received a shock when they saw
line of white forms parading through
the streets Clad only in pajamas and
shoes a dozen or more of the youngs.
ters visited numerous tents of friends
and acclaimed their presence in no un-
certain terms. Earlier in the night a
where three young men were slumber-
ing soundly and whose belongings
we're scattered ruthlessly about by the
visitors who had called without invi-
tation and whose welcome was not
manifested by the line of talk handed
out by the unwilling hosts. The spe-
cial policemen quieted things down,
but somebody who had grave fears,
telephoned police headquarters that
| there were big doings going on in
the Chautauqua village and Park Po-
liceman Hollard was hustled out OF
bed and ordered to make his presence
known. There was no occasion for
dealing severely with the youngsters
who were having simply a nice
time" in mussing up tents, and Hol,
larn handled the situation so well that
the boys went to the couches, only to
| break out anew later in the night
| when campers generally were not
properly clad to make their way to the
telephone booth and appeal for Is
sistance. Here and there a camper
was found this morning who had
severe complaint to make but most OF
them let their memories carry them
back to the days when they also were
youths on pleasure bent.

NEGRO AND WHITE
MAN HAVE BATTLE

John Sanders, colored, was fined 81
and costs for assault and battery on
George De Boyce. white. of Fourteenth
and North F streets, and the latter
was fined the same amount for drunk
in police court this morning. Both
were arrested Saturday evening by
Officer Bundy after a fight.
Sanders asked DeBoyce for match.
Then the argument started, which
lead to an invitation to aght it out in
an alley. Sanders said he saw the other
man whip out a knife, and that he
picked up some rocks. He threw them
at DeBoyee who was standing in
front of his house. AT this point Bun
dy arrested both men. DeBoyce said
he could not understand how he was
charged with being drunk as he had
only drank about half pint of whis.
key.

NEGRO LEAPS FROM
4TH STORY WINDOW
Breaks Both Ankles Trying
to Escape From Raid on
the Devinney Place.

Crazed with fear, Lewis Washington
colored, stranger, jumped from the
fourth floor of the Devinney pool
rooms on FIT Wayne avenue yesterday
morning breaking both ankles and Sc
vereIy wrenching his back. When the
house was raided Sunday by Officers
Vogelsong and Lawler, Washington
slipped into a closet unnoticed. then
jumped from the window, and was not
found until an hour later. He had
crawled into the basement of the bull
ding and there concealed himself. He
was finally discovered by the police
and taken to the hospital. Mental Wis
ions of prison bars, handouts and
stone piles conquered physical pain in
Washington's case and he bore his suf
ferings without groan until found by
the police.
Yesterday morning at 10:45 Officers
Vogelsong and Lawler crept up the
back steps to the pool room on the
fourth floor, and peeping through a
small hole in the door they saw eight
colored men about an ice chest. Devin
ney and Washington were taking bot
tied beer from the chest, handing il
to the men gathered about, and re
ceiving something in exchange. Their
the police went through the door and
ct,llared the entire bunch.
At first it appeared as if figh,
would result for the men refused to &C
with the officers. During the excite
ment Washington made his escape in
to a closet from which he made his
leap. The remaining men were finally
lined up and placed in Jail. They are
Bob Devinney, Ed. Anderson, Charlie
Parks, Ross Smith, James Reynolds
William Anderson and Dan Schools
They will be tried Tuesday morning il
police court. Charges against Devinney
and Washington have been placed fol

prosecuted.

Henry Rogers Finds Wife Through
PdlIddiun1--He Had so Applications

Henry Rogers, living in Happy Hol-
low, put into effect somewhat unique
method of selecting a life mate, fol-
lowing the insertion of small want
ad in the Palladium, stating that he de-
sired to obtain wife. On the follow
ing day Rogers received fifty answers
to the ad
Confused by the number of would
be brides, Rogers decided not to open
the letters until he had worked out a
method of securing a mate with the
least possible effort. To visit each
woman would require too much time.
Consequently Rogers sat down,
lighted his pipe and thought the mat
ter over He finally arrived at the
decision to close his eyes, shuttle the
letters together and to pull one from
