nection with the Staying of Rem
Hance and his wife, near Muncie,

thought to be Anderson told him
that he was walking from Bloom
ington to Solsberry, Ind, and was
in a great hurry. The man told
Dunbar he wanted a taxi to take
him to his destination as he was
lame.

pear to be lame and seemed nervous
when strangers approached. He said
the man caught a train late Monday

been there after the murder.
Watch Florida Roads
\ Operatives of private detective
are keeping a close watch
over raods leading to the Everglades
in Florida with the hope that An
derson might be taken while at
tempting to reach there. The opera
tives are inclined to believe that
Anderson was working with Al
House, pay roll bandit. who was
captured recently in Ohio. That
House and other crooks used the
Everglades as a rendezvous has been
discovered by detectives. and it is
their belief that Anderson might be
vending his way southwark.

The Ten Commandments

While many fine films have been
run here by the local theatre man
agement, we believe that none have
quite SO impressed those who at
tended, as did "The Ten Command
ments," which was recently shown
here for four nights. A large num-
ber of persons saw this wonderful
film. Since the majority of the
lines flashed in connection with tie
picture are Bible quotations, we
venture that more Scripture has
been read in this community within
the past week, than had been for a
long time, if ever. The keen inter
est shown in the film and the salts
faction it gave in general, shows
that religion has not lost it's hold on
our people.
