Hubert Lindsey, wanted here for
larceny, was arrested in Lancaster
Thursday afternoon, according to
message received by Chief Parker
from the chief of police of Lancaster,
on a charge of grand larceny, but
later broke Jail and is aaein at lib
erty.
Lindsey is supposed to have been
implicated in the theft OF goods sew
eral weeks ago from freight cars in
the local Pennsylvania yards. He has
not been seen here to the knowledge
of the police department since then
After Lindsey broke out of the Jail
at Lancaster, the chief of police there
informed Chief Parker of his escape
and requested that any man answer
ing the description be arrested and
detained pending the arrival of a
representative of the Lancaster po-
lice department
The message did not give the de-
tails of Lindsey's acts which caused
his arrest and consequently Chief
Parker is in ignorance of the facts.
1t will be remembered that when
Lindsey is alleged to have broken
into the freight cars, he is said to
have taken the wagon of a young
man living in Warsaw to cart. his
booty away and the wagon and
horses were found by the local police.
The robbery was laid to the young
man, but he was released after prov
ing his innocence. The local police
are almost sure that Lindsey was
the one who committed the act, not
necessarily on account of his past
experiences, but because of evidence
which tended to incriminate him.

NEAR TOP IN STATE

The far-famed Knight rank team of
Fidelity Lodge, No. 135, Knights of
Pythias, of Coshocton plans to come
to Mt. Vernon May 81 and exemplify
the degree upon two local candi-
dates.
1t was this team, representing the
district in which Mt Veronn is To-
Gated, that won second honors in the
state competitive Knight rank con-
test which was held in Columbus last
week.
Clerk of Courts o. Guy Taylor, who
was Judge in the state contest, sug-
gested to Common Pleas Judge Ash
man, a leading worker in the Coshoc-
ton team, that the Coshocton men ex-
emplify the degree in Mt. Vernon.
Judge Ashman was enthusiastic and
promised to bring it before his lodge
It was formally voted Wednesday
evening by the Coshocton lodge to
send its team here and Mr.. Taylor re-
ceived a special delivery letter to
this effect Thursday evening.
In the letter, Judge Ashman stated
that barring the unforeseen, the Co.
shocton team may be expected here
May 81. 1t will be composed of the
same men who competed in the state
contest.
Mr.. Taylor states that there is no
more dramatic team in the state than
Coshocton's and says that it will be
a rare treat for the Pythians of Knox
county to witness it in action.
