Tuesdays Election

Tuesdays election passed quietly il
Fay ette county with Q rather lighter
vote than was expected. In veiw of the
recent enfranchisement of two or three
thousand white lady voters who were
given their first opportunity Of voting.
It has been nothing uncommon in
past years for the county to vote more
than 1000 in a presidential election
and last Tuesday but $1,000 voters in
the county exercised their rightto vote.
Had the public had genuine interest
in the election thruout the county 1t
would have been easy TO have voted
5000 instead of 1900. Lack of inter-
est characterized the campaign from
the very beginning and until the last
days of the campaign not a step taken
to arouse interest in the county. This
late action did not succeed in bringing
the voters to the polls, resulting in
the loss here of at least 1000 votes for
the Democratic ticket.
II has not been possible to get the
official vote yet and will not be until
next week, but the Democratic nom
inees carraied about 1000 votes in the
county, to 2lO for the Republican nom.

YOUNG WOMAN JUMPS
FROM MOVING AUTO
TO ELUDE KIDNAPPERS

A bold attempt to kidnap a young
woman employed at the Atlas Under
derwear factory by man and woman,
whom the police believe to be white
slavers, was made little after am.
Tuesday on South Tenth street.
The name of the young woman
whom the kidnappcrs sought to make
away with is withheld by the police
Her hands and knees were slightly cut
and bruised a the result of jumping
from the automobile which she was
induced to enter just a short distance
from her home.
Induced Into Car
According to the story told to the
police by the young woman. she was
on her way to work early Tuesday
morning when a Ford car driven by a
man who was accompanied by a wom-
an, drove past her. The woman called
to her and asked if she did not want
TO ride to work. She thought the
woman worked at the same factory,
and replied that she would like to
ride. The car stopped and she took
her place on the back seat.
When the car started she observed
that she did not know the other occu-
pants of the car. The machine turned
cast on South A street, and she told
the driver, whom she described as
middle aged, heavy set and roughly
dressed, that he was going the wrong
direction.
Il know where you want to CO." he
replied.
Girl Makes Jump.
When the car had reached Sout h
Fifteenth and A streets the girl be-
came alarmed, for the car was being
driven at fast speed and was headed
the opposite direction from the place
where she was employed. Without
hesitation the girl opened the car door
and jumped. Her fall was a hard one
and she considers herself fortunate in
not being severely injured.
She stated that after she had
jumped from the car the man drove
away at a reckless rate of speed. She
states that she had never before seen
the man and the woman who were in
the car with her. She said the woman
was young and very shabbily dressed.
She also informed the police. that in
the rear of the car was long rope.

civil and criminal litigation than any
man who has lived in Wayne county,
is named defendant, with his wife, in
a complaint for breach of warranty
filed in circuit court Tuesday by Lon
and Elizabeth Gray
1t is charged in the complaint that
on August 80, last, Underhill and his
wife in consideration of $3.50 con-
veyed in fee simple by warranty deed

Gray. 1t is alleged that after the
plaintiffs had received the deed they
made an effort to secure the prop
erty, but failed to do so because the
Underhills had previously leased it,
notwithstanding the fact, it is al
legged, that when the property was
transferred to Mr.. and Mrs. Gray the
defendants assured them that they
would have immediate possession OF
the property.
1t is alleged that on September "a

the property and demanded a return
of the money they had paid for the

"Inasmuch as the report has be-
come current that a considerable per-
centage of the amount raised in the
6uuO" llltllI Sdll III" plOSl tSS
in Earlham's behalf, is to go to the
Ward Systems company, or the agents
who are conducting the campaign, it
seems we'll to make the following
statement:
"The Ward Systems company is

at the business office at Earlham col
lege, to put on a twelve weeks cam
paign at total cost for services Of
$5,000.00, including the use Of their

This money has been paid week by

company. Messrs. Carr & Peters, the
agents of the Ward System company,
have not and are not to receive any
money from Earlham college or from
the campaign. They are employed
and paid exclusively by the Ward
