Suhl Bill Important.
Probably the most important true
bill returned by the grand jury is
the charge of first degree murder
against Mrs. Suhl. Pros. Chester r.

probability the trial OF the poison
case would come up during the pres
ent term Of the circuit court.
Abbie and Joseph Sharpless are
charged with endorsing and cashinB
a check which came TO them by mis-
take. Ii is alleged that they cashed a
check for $3.50 issued TO Mrs. j.
Sharpless by John IL. Ellis during
July. 1912. The check was delivered
to the defendant by the mailman in
stead of 20 Mrs. Jennie SharpleSS as
intended. 1t is charged that Mrs.
Sharpless endorsed and cashed the
check knowing that 1t was not made
out to her.
gadislaw AIihalski is alleged 10 have
stolen nine pounds of butter from Re-
Decca and Isaac kerdelwitZky. Clar-
ence Miller, indicted for grand lar
ceny. is alleged to have stolen $50
pounds of copper wire from the Chi
cagO. South Bend and Northern In
diana Railway CO. Loren De Shong

August and refusing to provide for
them. Zigmund MendlikOwsn and
George O'COnner were arrested about
10 days ago 1Of hOlulhS up AhuISW
Glowach near Haley park and steal
ing a watch, razor and other valu-
ables from him. Richard Juckett is
the young man who was arrested a
few weeks ago for the theft of a mo-
torcycle belonging to Ralph NJ. Web
ster. Webster secured the return OF
the vehicle and the arrest Of Juckett
after a terrific fight along a country
road, where he discovered Juckett
with the machine.
Arrests in the election cases are eX-
pected within the next few days
