Georgetown, Ohio, Sept. 2. - Only
by mere accident was little Carl Thai
man, aged s, discovered to be in the
barn of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Thalman, few miles east Of
town, Tuesday afternoon about 2
o'clock. The little fellow had been
missing since about 9 o'clock and
members of the family and neighbors
had searched the premises twice and
were in despair. Sheriff Neu was sum-
moned and her and Henry Biehen and
little son, Harold, went to the scene.
After the distracted parents had told
them all they knew, they went to the
barn, which had been searched twice.
As Sheriff Neu was preparing to go
to the top of a pile of hay, Harold Neu
looked into hole in the hay, which ap-
peared not large enough to have ad-
mitted the boys body. Harold caught

amy Argue Local Courts Have No
Jurisdiction But Lose.

Mrs. Cora Collier Fultz, arrested In
Cincinnati two weeks ago and return
ed here by Chief of Police Harry A.
Ort to face a charge of bigamy, was
before Judge John L. Whitaker In
Police Court Friday afternoon.
Upon the calling of the case attor-
neys for Mrs. Fultz offered a motion
to dismiss for lack Of jurisdiction,
arguing that the offense, if any was
committed in Fleming county, the
woman having been married to her
last husband at Flemingsburg. Judge
Whitaker overruled this motion, how
ever, and the defendant then waived
examination and the case was passed
to the grand jury, the bail of $50, be-
ing continued.
1t is charged that the young woman,
who was Miss Cora vermillion, of this
city, first married man by the name
of Collier and that without being d-
vorced from him and while he was still
living, she was married to Mr.. Fultz
at Flemingsburg a few weeks ago.
Mrs. Ida Harrington and Mrs. Maude
Cooper, charged with disorder on a
street car last Sunday, were fined 81
