Released Because of insufficient
Evidence.

Jacob Keefer, of near Harrington,
this county, who was arrested on Fri
day by Thomas Seymour, constable,
on a charge of incest, was released
after a hearing before Justice W. A.
Gender yesterday afternoon because
of insufficient evidence to hold the
prisoner.
The case was transferred at the
last minute from Justice A. S. Teat's
court to that of Justice Gender. The
mans 24-year old daughter Blanche
was the complaining witness and had
preferred the charge against her par
ent, and who was alleged to have told
Constable Seymour the particulars of
the matter, would say nothing at the
hearing to implicate her father.

RED HOUSE, ON TURNPIKE,
HAS VERY UNIQUE HISTORY
Has Been a Red House at Road
Crossing Since before Civil War


Among the many interesting places
along the newly-opened Northwestern
Turnpike is Red House, eight miles
south of Oakland at the intersection
of the Oakland-Thomas highway with
the historic old route. Red House has
had a rather unique history in that
there has been a red house at the
crossing since before the Civil War,
and the footsteps of thousands of SOL
diers marching on the turnpike have
echoed against the boards of the Red
House of that period, which is the
same red house that stands there to-
day.
Long before the blaze of Civil War
first began to lick the very founda-
tons of our country, some one built
tavern on the present site of Red
House. 1t was large for a structure
of that day, and it covered at least
four times as much ground as the
present Red House and probably had
the measurements of 100 by 200 feet,
with two stories. There were two
hundred acres of ground in the farm
which went with the tavern. The first
owner painted the house a glowing
red and called his tavern Red House.
Just before the Civil War a German
,+,,,,l h.
place. After the war broke out he
couldn't have sold it if he had want
ed to, and he had to keep the tavern
operating all during the period of the
war. This man was Amish and he
wore a beard to his waist, holding
religious belief that one could not
marry unless he had a luxurious
adornment Of this character.
Swartzentruber had a hard life dur
ing the war, for every army which
CHANGED to come his way overran the
tavern and camped in it. He proba-
bly, lost a small fortune because Of
this and because also that no one
wanted to stay. in the vicinity under
such conditions. He sold the building
and land as soon as war ended to
Christopher Martin and Martin tore
down the tavern and built the present
dwelling out of the same boards. Some
thirty-fve years ago Martin sold the
house to William H. Knepp, who has
lived in the structure ever since that
time.
BENZ. F. Knepp, son of William,
now operates a modern and excellently
equipped service station and store just
across the roadway from the Red
House.
About fifteen years ago man
named Henry Male, who was quite
well known around Oakland, and who
knew the historic Importance of Red
House, was passing through the coun-
try and he saw with alarm that the
paint of the house had become so
badly dulled as to show no evidence
of ever having been red. He stopped
at the house and made generous
offer to send Mr.. Knepp enough red
paint to repaint the house in its orig
inal color. He kept his promise, and
when the paint came the house soon
appeared in a coat of brilliant red, i'm
pressing the mind of the traveller with
it's warmness as the red of the old
tavern had carried message of hos
pitality to the weary hearts of those
who travelled the ancient highway of
highways in search of adventure or
who travelled it in the rough-riding
stage coach on matters of business.

ANNULMENT OF MARRIAGE
Is ASKED BY CHILD WIFE
Says She Wed Cripple Without
Due Reflection and That Her
Age Was Misrepresented.

Several new angles to the marital
difficulties of John Albert Hostutler
and his child wife were revealed last
Friday at Morgantown, West Va,
when Judge l. Grant Lazzelle was
called upon to act on the writ of ha-
beas corpus he had issued earlier in
the week directing John Robey to pro-
duce the body of his daughter, Mrs.
John Hostutler, in court and explain
why he is restraining her from re-
turning to her husband.
Mr.. Robey is said to have detained
his daughter at his home after the
couple had come to Oakland on Au-
gust 20 where they secured mar
riage license and were lawfully wed
by Rev. William Anderson, of Noun
tain Lake Park, at the residence of
Rev. Baggett in Oakland during the
latter's absence from town.
Primarily, it was revealed that i'm
mediately after the writ was granted
to Hostutler and against his wife's
father on petition presented by his at
torney, Robey had released his daugh-
ter and she had gone to local hotel
where she remained until the habeas
corpus hearing was called by the
court on Friday. Thus there was no
real necessity for the hearing since
the father had already permitted his
daughter to leave home.
But in the meantime, Mrs. Hostutler
had entered new proceeding before
Judge Lazelle. 1t is a cause in chan
Gerry in which the petitioner, Mrs.
Hostutler, sues to have her marriage
with Hostutler set aside and annulled.
Hostutler Is Cripple.
1t was revealed in the bill filed By
Mrs. Hostutler and also by Hostutler
when he came before the court on Fri
day to press the suit against Robey
that he (Hostutler) is a hopeless Grip
Pile, brought about by an attack of in
fantile paralysis which he suffered in
his youth and that he is able to walk
only on his hands and has no use of
his legs or of his feet as a means Of
walking or of moving from place to
place.
1t is also set out in the bill filed
by Mrs. Hostutler that her husband
is totally dependent on public charity
for support and that he is unable to
care properly for wife. The bill also
recites that Mrs. Hostutler is not yet
18' years old; that she was led into
marriage without due thought and re-
Election; that fraud was committed
when her age was given as being over
18 at the time the marriage license
was procured in Oakland, and that
this deception in itself is sufficient
grounds for an annulment of the mar
riage.
At the hearing on Friday before
Judge Lazelle it was agreed that Mrs.
Hostutler should return to her fathers
home and that no effort would be
made to establish that she is being re-
strained from returning to her hus-
band but is acting on her own Volt
ton and choice.
