Spanked Boy Runs Ava, and Gives

Hopkinton, Iowa.-Recently Gerald
O'Connell, three-year-old SON of Mr..
and Mrs. John O'Connen of Hillside, a
suburb OF Worthington, Iowa, was
spanked for perslsting In desiring tc
accompany his father to town. In
anger the little fellow muttered that
he would run away, but no heed wae
given to his complaints.
"A few hours later, however, It vas
discovered the child was missing and
diligent search failed to locate him
The alarm was given and neighbors
were called in to assist.
The search continued three days,
the little fellow being found over three
miles from home, apparently little the
worse for his stay Of three days and
two nights in the woods. The country
over which he had strayed was rough
and billy and how he lived through
these three days and two nights with
out food and shelter. and withstood e
rain that fell is the wonder of tho
neighborhood. When discovered Ger
aid still maintained his attitude of
independence and resentment.

ON ENGINE
ENGINEER WHO HAS SPENT
FlFTYsEvEE YEARS IN CAB.
Also Has the Record Of Never Injur
Ing a Human Being In That Time
Now Is Retired on a
Pension.

Moving the population of 80 towns
at a rate of speed from 80 to 60 miles.
an hour, taking people away from
their homes and bringing them back
without injury to man, woman or
child, is the kind of a job, a North
western engineer has retired from
after sticking to 1t for 81 years. He be-
gan with the first short line of the
Northwestern when 1t was known a.
the Chicago &c Galena Union, and
quits when 1t is 10000 miles long.
Dan futile Is the name of this en-
gineer who began working for the
company five years before the war,
He quit long enough to help in tn.
wal and hen went back to his job.
Most Of the service as engineer was
performed On two Illinois lines, one
of them between Chicago and Free
port and the other between Chicago
and Sterling. The trains handled by
futile were fast between Chicago and
West Chicago. He did business with
all OF the stations on both lines while
he was on one or the other, so that he
carried the people OF each town one
way or the other or both.
1t is safe to say Ian futile carried
every living soul in all the towns at
one time or another. Some OF them he
carried twice a day, for they would
come tt the city with him In the morn
Ing and go back home behind him In
the evening. He has carried at least
three generations OF the same families,
In some instances more, and In the
long run he has carried other towns
III the same way, for there was a long
time when the train would stop at
every station between its terminals.
futile ia acquainted with not only
thousands of men, women and children
who have seen his face framed in a
cab window 30 long, but he knows al.
most every inch Of the right OF way by
sound as well as by sight. Engineers

This man who has Just been retired

DRESDEN WAS sunk;
BRISTOL IS DAMAGED
COMBAT OFF A LONELY PACIFIC ISLE ENDED CAREER
OF THE BRAVE LITTLE GERMAN CRUISER

Valparaiso, Dec. 18-It was report
ed by wireless last night that the
German cruiser Dresden was sunk off
Cambridge Island, in the Pacific, by
the British cruiser Bristol. The en-
gagement lasted forty minutes. The
Bristol was badly damaged.
The Dresden is a smaller and slow
er boat than the Bristol, and the Ger
man vessel must have been badly
damaged in the fight off the Falk-
lands and her subsequent hopeless
fight. The Dresden was a ship of
5000 tons displacement and carried
ten 4-inch guns. She was launched
in 1908. The Bristol is of $500 tons
and carries two 6-inch and 10-inch
guns.
Cambridge Island is a mere rock a
few hundred miles west of the Chill
can coast. Since the battle off the
Falklands, on the eighth, the Dresden
and her pursuer had steamed almost
5000 miles.

GENERAL PRESENTMENT
OF THE GRAND JURY

To the Hon. w. S. Bullock, Judge
of the Fifth Judicial Circuit: We, the
grand jury, empanneled at the fall
term of the circuit court, A D. 1914,
in and for Marion county, having
completed our labors, beg to submit
this our final presentment
We have investigated a great many
cases and have found true bills in
those cases only in which we thought
the state would be able to secure
conviction.
We have experienced some difficulty
in not being able to secure the prompt
attendance of witnesses and in this
connection it occurs to us that some
of the committing magistrates are not
as careful as they should be in bind
ing over witnesses.
We endeavored to locate and find
out who was at fault with reference
to lost notices in connection with the
paving certificates issued by the city
of Ocala against the property of r. i.
Anderson, but have been unable to
place the blame on any particular
party. 1t occurs to us that wealthy
citizen of a progressive city like
Ocala should possess enough patriot
ism and the interest of the govern
ment under which he lives at heart
enough to pay for these improve
ments without taking the matter into
court.
We recommend that the county off,
cials take up with some charitable in
stitution the matter Of securing q
home for Willie Quick where his
moral surroundings will be better
than where he has been living.
We have examined the county iail
and find it to be in sanitary condi-
ton and that the prisoners are well
kept and provided for in every way.
We have examined the various
county offices and find that they are
all well and neatly kept.
We have Investigated several hor-
rible crimes and conditions but we
have been unable to secure sufficient
evidence that would Justify us in
making an Indictment and hence the
action we have taken.
/ In conclusion, we desire to thank
the Hon. w. S. Bullock, judge of ou1
court, for his able charge and advice

FORCING GERMANS BACK ALL ALONG THE
\ FRONTIER
REOODY ENCOUNTERS ACCOMPANY STEADY ADVANCE OF The
FRENCH AND BRITISH

Paris, Dec. 1s.-The offensive by
the allies in northern France is gath
ering momentum. The attacks of the
French, British and Indian troops all
the way from the Belgian border to
the river Disc are growing more vio-
lent.
In West Flanders the desperate
German attacks to recover lost
ground along the east bank of the
User canal, between Dixmude and
Nieuport, are being thrown back with
fearful slaughter.
The allies have made slight gains
south of the Forest D'Houthulst and
south of Ypres, on the Memim road.
The allies artillery forces the Ger
mans to evacuate a number of their
trenches near Zilibeke and Klein. The
Zillebeke and Van Voorde struggle is
appallingly bloody.

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT
Defense Introduces Testimony
Prove Hough irresponsible

DetGHSG 1AtAUuuCGS ATSLAAuUhy w
Prove Hough irresponsible
The only witness placed on the
stand by the prosecution yesterday
afternoon in the Hough case was Mrs.
Crenshaw, mother Of Mrs. Rosa
Hough, who was shot by Albert v.
Hough.
Mrs. Crenshaw's testimony was
short. She testified that Albert
Hough and wife lived at her home,
and that about o'clock on the day
of the tragedy Albert had quarreled
with her upstairs. Immediately af-
terward he went down stairs; she
heard report of a gun being dis
charged; she went down stairs and
found her daughter dying from q
wound made by pistol; saw Hough
with a pistol in his hand. He threat
ened to also kill himself. When ask
ed what she said when he made this
statement Mrs. Crenshaw says she
said nothing. She testified to HOugh's
threats toward the deputy sheriff
who came shortly afterward to ar
rest him. This was about the sub
stance of Mrs. Crenshaw's testimony,
and after short cross examination,
the court adjourned until eight o'clock
this morning.
Immediately upon the court being
called to order this morning, Mr.. r.
j. Bishop, Of Volusia county, was call
ed to the stand by the defense. he
said he had known Hough's father
in Georgia many years ago and that
he was simple: would ordinarily be
called an idiot; was unable to at
tend to his own business affairs; and,
the witness said, needed guardian.
Several questions on line Of his di-
rect testimony were propounded by
the state attorney, and the next wit
ness was called.
Mr.. w. A. Stead, of DeLand, was
then placed on the stand. His testi-

mony was on the line Of the former
witness and brought out facts re-
lating to the mental condition OF the
defendant some time prior to the kiIl-
ing at Clermont IN 1912. Mr.. Stead
was at that time engaged Is clerk
in retail store and related several
instances Of peculiar actions of the
defendant during his acquaintance
with him; said HOueh was peculiar
man and very difficult to wait upon
while transacting business. Among
his pecuIiarities, Mr.. Stead said, was
an apparent disregard for his own
as well as for his child's safety at
times; he left his child in positions
that would be considered dangerous;
was very reckless driver and dis
played his recklessness on occasions
while in DeLand; witness considered
his actions dangerous to traffic on the
streets Of DeLand. Attorney Davis
cross examined the witness regarding
his testimony as to what was meant
BY being dangerous to traffic.
Mr.. S. W Hough, brother Of the
defendant, was then sworn and the
balance Of the forenoon was devoted
to his direct testimony. Mr HougIl
began with the childhood Of Albert,
going into details of bis peculiari-
ties, his nervousness and exceptional
irritable nature; he had been looked
upon by the family as ain incompe-
tent al his life; was inclined to the
excessive use of intoxicants during
his young manhood; did not long re-
tain any position on account Of his
irritable and ungovernabIe nature
Mr.. Hough's testimony reached from
the early childhood Of his brother up
TO the time he came To Florida some
years ago, relating incidents through
out of incompetency. He told OF his
personal business experience with his
brother on the turpentine farm, and
'said that on account Of incompetency
and threats he dissolved his copart-
nership which had existed. The in
frmities of sister and brother Of
the defendant were also brought out
in Mr. Hough's testimony.
| The attorneys for the prosecution
cross-examined the witness for about
half an hour, when the attorneys for
the offense again opened redirect ex-
amination which had not concluded
when fhe col1r4 adiot,v-nnd ~ r1ror
When court reconvened after noon,
two witnesses, Messrs. P. Hagin and
e. FL. Mcneil Of DeLand, were called.
The former testified to having seen
the defendant several days before the
tragedy on the streets of DeIand and
that he appeared IN an unnatural
frame Of mind. An endeavor was
made to introduce through Mcneil q
