State win Prosecute Oakley

Governor O'Neal said this afternoon
that although Oakley had confessed
Judgment for the amount of the convict
departments Indebtedness, the state
would hold Oakley criminally responsible
for the Lacy defaleation. lie stated that
the state would prosecute Oakley for
embezzlement in connection with the con-
vict department discrepancy
The impression has obtained at the cap
itol for several months that Lacy would
return the money he has stolen if Mr..
Oakley were held responsible. Whether
or not this is true, remains to be seen.
Oakley has given up all his property to
pay for the Lacy defalcaton, and al
though his estate. will not liquidatei the
Indebtedness, his action will at least
show to. the friends of the defaulting
clerk that he is willing to bear his
part.

Oakley Stripped of All Property

Oakley's action in confessins to the
large judgment will strip him of all he
possesses. His estate is said to be valued
at approximately $4,000, all of which will
be taken over by the state. His property
was at one time estimated at nearly $780,
co., but it is declared that this estimate
was far from correct.
In addition to the suit against Oakley,
the state has also instituted criminal
proceedings charging the deposed official
with embezzlement. The criminal case
will be set for some time in November.
The states cases against the banks of
Montgomery will be tried October %. The
suits against these institutions aggregate
more than 100000, and We're instituted
on the ground that they paid funds over
to Theodore Lacy unlawfully. These suits
have been pending since the convict in
Nestigation at the capitol.

CENTERVILLE'S MARSHAL
A TERROR TO SPEEDERS

on the incidents of the career OF mis-

and wonderful ending.
The former marshal was a great
chicken thief catcher. He stalked into
the Richmond police department office
one time, leading stumbling figure OF
a man who was downcast OF counter
ance and shifty of eye.
Here's one OF two chicken thieves. -
he proudly announced to Sergeant Nc
Nally.
Well" asked the genial dispenser
of police department "favors, where's
the other one:"
Il dunno" replied that marshal.
but got my superstitions as to where
he is"
And then the wonderful climax 10
that marshal's career should carry en-
enlargement to anyone succeeding tC
his office. One day. after long and
honorable service. he was approached
by man and offered a position in pri
vate life at a salary of two dollars a
day
When he recovered from his over
whelming surprise at learning that
anyone ever made as much as that fol
days work, he accepted. And the
way was then cleared for obtaining the
services of the present marshal who
has rightly gained the title of old
Sleuth, the Terror of Speedsters With

SERUM IS RECEIVED
Will Be Used to Prevent Hog
Cholera.

Hog cholera, according to L. c. Hoo
yer, veterinary surgeon, is raging
worse in Indiana at the present time
than ever before, and in the northern
part of the state practically every
farmer is losing a number of hogs.
DR.. Hoover received over a hundred
dollars worth of serum from the state
this morning, which he will use to pro-
tect the hogs of this community which
have not become infected. There
need be no danger if all precautions
are taken, and the serum is used to
protect the stock" he says.
County Agricultural Agent Cobb
said this afternoon that so far, he had
not found a case of hog cholera in the
county, although throughout the state
the epidemic is the worst in years.
He state that the cholera caused the
most loss here during the winter and
early spring.
Are Vaccinatng.
Veterinarians report that they have
been vaccinating herds in the north
ern part of the county where the dan
ger seems to be the greatest.
Cobb says that the only way to pre-
vent an epidemic when cholera ap-
pears in a neighborhood is to vaccin-
ate the herds before they become in
fected. When this is done, statistics
for the state during the last year
show that only about two per cent die.
Wishing to make a careful study OF
the local conditions. Cobb has request
ed the farmers to report all cases to
him before vaccination. Many times,
he says. hogs have ben lost in different
counties because the serum was in
jected with instruments that were not
properly sterihzed.
