Machine, Dashing Backwards
Almost Strikes Two Wom-

A machine driven by an employe
of the Auto Inn backed over the curb

ing, bursting the two rear tires,
springing the axle, and nearly hitting
two women and a small child. The
car is owned by Frank 1 Braffett.
The driver of the car was in the
middle of Main street and had his
car in reverse. When he attempted to
change his shifting gear his clutch
would not yield and the car backed
over the curbing at a fast clip and
continued to run over the sidewalk

garage. Two women and a child were
standing on the sidewalk and did not
know which way to turn as the car
was making zigzag course. They
were directly in the path of the car
when it swerved from its course
backing up the incline in front of the
garage.

That Melli Bought.

Tuesday Peter Smith, a wealthy
farmer, living two and a half miles
north of Hagerstown, received a no
tice from the Dickinson Trust COM
pany that his note for $500, endorsed
by his brother, John s. Smith, was
due. Much surprised, Smith came to
Richmond Wednesday and notified the
Trust company that he had no note
out. An investigation disclosed the
fact that ]. Ed Moore had fraudulent
ly signed Smiths name to the note
and sold it to Julius Melli, who had
given it to the Trust company for col
lection.
Smith Was Indignant.
Mr.. Smith was indignant when he
received the notice and stated while
here that he had never seen Moore
and did not know such a man was
in existence.
Thousands of dollars worth of notes

SAY rain

Some Wheat Has Now Start

to Commissioner.

More rains may result In a loss OF
many thousands of dollars TO the farm
ers who have wheat in the fields un-
threshed. Only a small per cent Of
the wheat crop in Wayne county has
been threshed-
The wheat has been seriously i'm
paired because of the scattering Of the
wheat shocks in order TO dry them.
They no sooner are in condition TO
thresh when rains make it necessary
to again dry them out
Farmers east of Richmond reported
that a few more rains will necessitate
the selling of the wheat at a much
lower figure from what IL is worth az

County Commissioner Anderson has
visited farms In the northern part Of
the county and says the danger of the

was great Clarke Brothers, millers,
of Fountain City, reported that IL one
grain of wheat was found in a carload,
by grain scorers which had sprouted,
the entire shipment would be rated
third class. This rating would be
made though the rest OF the shipment
might be first class. Crops. in gener-
al, in Wayne county never looked more

PLAN TO WORK ALL
PRISONERS At FARM
Some County Officials In
dorse the Propo-
SitiOn.
INMATES CAN'T WORK

The inmates of the county Jail may
be put to work at the Wayne County
Infirmary if the plan submitted to the
commissioners and Sheriff Bayer is
put into effect. 1t is proposed to force
the inmates of the Jail to work at the
farm and do the work of the men now
hired by the county.
Men sentenced to the Jail are not ad-
verse to cutting grass at the court
house or mopping the floors of the
county building. Whenever repair or
cleaning work is needed at any of the
county buildings the men are always
willing to work and apparently enjoy
the diversion.
According to Supt. Brumfield, of the
infirmary, there is not a man confined
at the institution who is capable of
doing a days work. All of the inmates
he says are shiftless and lazy or in
capable of working
Sheriff Bayer said the plan would
not work as the prisoners would refuse
to work. Other county officials believe
if the men can be sentenced to a
workhouse they can be sentenced to
labor at the farm.
Commissioner Anderson said the in
mates of the infirmary are unable to
work and the plan of working out the
Jail prisoners would be looked into
The men can be hired out to the city
to work on the city streets but the sum

man used. They are permitted to do
the county work in many instances.

Departs With Rentals.
1t has been learned that Moore is
alleged to have obtained much money
through the collection of rents. The
Saturday night prior to his departure
he went to several properties and
collected rents for a prominent busi-

Monday morning he was at work

LIVERY MEN WERE
VICTIMS OF THIEF
James Dolan, of Cambridge
City, and E. A. Girton,
of Eaton, Suffer.
SHIPPED FROM CITY

A clever horse thief, who made ar
rangements for shipping horses before
he stole them, operated in this vicin-
ity last week and secured a horse
from James Dolan of Cambridge City
and another from E. A Girton of Eat
on. The thief shipped them TO the
Union Stock Yards at Cincinnati.
Chief of Police Gormon was notified
of the theft of Girton's horse Tuesday
morning while Dolan did not come TO
him until this morning. Both men
stated that the man who secured the
horses is not more than 90 years old,
a smooth talker and a fashionably
dressed and we'll educated person. He
informed them that he was a book
agent, giving his name as c. ]. Mat
thews.
Brought Horses Here.
Matthews hired a horse from Dolan
on Saturday and drove it to this city.
The police do not know where he
left il then but on Monday he brought
Dolan's horse and Girton's horse TO
Taylor's livery barn on North Eighth
street and told the men there that the
buggies would be called for but that
he would take the horses with him
that night.
The thief had secured a car for the
horses on Saturday before he hired
either horse Monday night he billed
the two horses to the Union Stock
Yards at Cincinnati and left here at
the same time.
Said He Was Agent.
Chief Gormon believes that Mat.
thews is an experienced horse thief
and that he has been stealing stock
for some time. Gordon sent Girton
to Cincinnati and Dolan went there
this morning where il is believed Mat
thews can be caught unless he has
succeeded in disposing of the animals
The victims were told the same
stories by Matthews. He carried a
valise to substantiate his story that
he was a book agent He paid both
men for the hire of the horse for
three days in order TO ward off sus-
picion when he did not return al
once with the animals.
