WELSHER AIDED BANDITS
Jury Assesses 4 Years imprisonment
for Harboring Robbers.

Oklahoma City-Four years. i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary was
the punishment melted out by a Jury
in the district court which found Joe
Welsher guilty of harboring the men
who held up and robbed a bank at
Harrah short time ago.
Welsher's wife and two small chill
dren, who sat by him during his trial,
broke down and wept when the YER
dict was read.
The Harrah bank robbers were
found in Welsher's house and his de-
tense was that they threatened to kill
him, his wife and children if he did
not furnish them shelter and food.
While they were in his home, it was
alleged that he came to Oklahoma
City and purchased ammunition for
them.

COMMISSIONER FAIL TO
PROVIDE FOR BRIDGE
Elkhart Avenue Traffic Placed at
Disadvantage Oh Indefinite
Duration.
- TImes speclaI servIee:

News Times Special Service:
ELKHART, March 23.-With the
Elkhart av bridge condemned and
closed indefinitely because of its un-
safe condition. it has just developed
that the board of county commits
sioners has again postponed all ac-
ton toward giving this city a bridge
TO replace IT, IL was believed a
few weeks ago when the bridge was
closed, after an investigation
that the board would take favor
able action on the cOnstructic- of
a new one 1t now is apparent lat
the wh6le proceeding has been
tabled.
only a formal petition filed with
the county commissioners by the
board of works and interested citi-
zens. Will force favorable action.
The Elkhart av. bridge was built
in 1871 and frequently during late
years ii has been closed, discom-
moding a very large amount of traf-
fc from the country northeast OF
Elkhart as well as diverting the city
traffic 20 that part of the city to
the Main ST. bridge and Beardsley
av.
1t is probable that. under the de-
lay occasioned by the inaction of
the commissioners the bridge may
be opened with the understanding
that the public use it at its own
risk.

News-Times Special Service:
GOSHEN, March 23.-TO connect
with improved highways in Elkhart
county and open routes 10 Kendall
vile, Ligonier. Topeka Wolcottville
and other points. possibly changing
the Lincoln highway or road
marked from Ligonier 10 Goshen,
road Improvements. the estimated
cost Of which is approximately
$15O.OOO. are now being projected in
Lagrange county. Much opposition
has developed and the outcome is
uncertain. Preliminary reports as
made 10 the county commissioner
are as follows:
Daniel w. Rose ct al road, which
for concrete construction 40 feet
wide and the cost as estimated by
the engineer will be $21,64S.00.
r. r. Miller ct al. road, between
Eden and Clearspring townships,
calls for a road nearly FIVE miles
long of gravel and concrete con-
struction. The engineer estimates
that the cost Of the gravel section
will be S2.75O.OO and the concrete
section S27,264.6O with other ex-
penses such as viewers, engineer
and superintendent. of S1,700, max
ing the toal estimated cost of this
road $31,71460.
r. r Johnson road calls for a
highway 40 feet wide and II miles
lone IF Gravel and concrete con-
struction, the gravel sections to cost
ST. and the concrete sections to
cost SS2,34S With other expenses of
$2.10O. making a total cost Of sS9,-
94S. This road starts at the Elk
hart county line and runs east for
y miles between Eden, Clearspring,
Clay and Newbury townships. With
the exception of q very short dis
lance through Mllersburg corpora
ton the highway from Elkhart city
10 the Elkhart- Lag grange Noble line,
distance Of approximately 20
miles. is now paved, brick having
been used for about Is miles.
Should Lagrange county order the
12-mile road, which is to cost about
$4,000, in all possibility the Lin
coin highway will be routed north
from Ligonier to connect with what
is now called Lincoln highway East
into Goshen. IL will be impossible
to pave the main Lincoln highway
(via Benton) into Ligonier for at
least two years. owing TO lack of
funds in Benton township.
