J. FRED CATRON FOR
COMMONwEALTH'S ATTORNEY

To the Voters of the 84th Judicial
District
] am a candidate for the Republi-
Ian nomination for Commonwealth
Attorney Of this District.
I graduated from the Valparaiso,
Indiana, Law School in 1906 and
have been practicing law ever since.
! believe it to be the duty of the
Commonwealth Attorney fearlessly
to enforce the law against crime in
stead of compromising or trading
with criminals. In that way, and in
that way only, the Commonwealth
Attorney can make the law a pro-
lection to peaceable citizens and a
terror to evil doers
If you nominate and elect me |
pledge myself to enforce the law
against all violators to the full ex-
tent of my ability and without fear
or favor.

4 LONESOME PINT

On Saturday night Deputy Sheriff
Nat Helton went down to the L. &
n. depot to see if it was still there
and for other reasons When he ar
rived he saw a pint of whiskey sit
ting confdingly between two gentle
men. Nat squinted at the little cuss
for a while to see if it really was a
bottle or an optical delusion. De-
Gliding it was the real thing, he asked
the two gentlemen if it was a friend
of theirs, but they said it was a
stranger to them. They were sur
prised how it got where it did and
the only explanation is that it was
the spirits in the bottle that did the
trick.

In addition to the many pleasing
features of st. Johns there were
added, beginning the first of the
year, two literary societies, one COM
posed of the boys and one of the
girls, who vie with each other every
Friday to see which can render the
more enjoyment to waiting and ex
pectant audience.
The attraction has indeed proved
successful ana many worth while

The school paper, "St. Johns Mes

carry a word of good cheer and help

Charley jumped over the wooden

He went on to the depot and, secur-

Charley states that he has no
enemies and cannot account for the
attempt to kill him.
Up to a. M. Friday the incident

shots were heard by hundreds Of
citizens but that is the only notice
that was taken Of the affair.
