BURGLARS MAKE HAUL
OF COATS AND DRESSES
Property Valued at $500 Is
Stolen From Dupre's Ladies'

Thieves Knew Values And Only Took
The Beat

Burglars broke into Dupre's Ladies'

best coats and dresses in the store.
They left all of the hangers from

Arraigned In Justice Court
Saturday.-Furnishes Bond
of $1,000
Actual Shortage Now Said TO Be
S6,741.3o

Dyer S. Elliott Of North Grosvenor-
dale, former town clerk Of the town of
Thompson, an Office he held for more
than twenty years. was arrested Fri
day night on complaint charging him
with the embezzlement Of $4,000. The
money, il is alleged. was taken by Mr..
Elliott from the town. A temporary
bond was furnished by the accused
and he was allowed to go to his home
for the night.
Saturday afternoon Mr.. Elliott APP
peared before Justice Of the Peace
Percy p. Tourtellotte and was put to
plea. The former town clerk was
without counsel, as he has been ever
since his trouble first became public,
and when asked TO plead entered de-
murrer to the complaint This was
overruled by Judge Tourtellotte and a
bond of $4,000 was fixed and furn-
ished. three citizens coming forward

Arrest A Surprise
To at least part of the citizens the
arrest Of Mr.. Elliott came as great
surprise. As the former town official
had paid several large sums to the
town in making good the shortage
found by the expert accountant, it was
Thought in some circles that there
would be no criminal action. Many Of
his fellow townsmen have remained
friendly 70 Mr.. Elliott even since it
has become publicly known that he had
used the towns money for his private
ends. These friends feel that lax
methods rather than out and out dis
honesty were the cause, az least IN
part. for the officers downfall.

Constable Alexander Maitland, Friday
evening. The constable took Mr.. FL
lott from friend 20 friend until a
bondsman was found so that the &C

that Mr.. Elliott was not altogether un-
prepared for arrest, il is thought that
he did not anticipate that such action
would be taken SO soon. Either he
was familiar with criminal court pro-
cedure or had asked legal advice IN an

evidenced by the fact that he entered

Thursday, just as a raiding party

get from the whole United States
They all say it is the most effective
compound they have ever tried.
Of the many Indianapolis citizens
who have Endorsed Konjola, there
is probably no one better known
throughout this whole section than
Mr.. H. H. Thompson, a popular
vaudeville comedian generally
known as the Komedy King
comedian. Mr.. Thompson is a |
resident of Indianapolis and his
home is at 100 Lincoln ST, this city.
His statements telling of the bene-
fits he derived from this celebrated
compound reads as follows:
"A medicine that will do what
Konjola did for me surely deserves
public praise and am glad to tell
of my experience with this remark
able medicine" reads Mr.. Thomp-
sons statement.
During the 1929 season I
suffered a nervous collapse, which
the doctor told me was caused from
an liberated stomach and gastritis.
At first I thought I would be
compelled to cancel all my engage
ments for the season, but thanks to
Konjola, I was only away from the
stage for three weeks. My stomach
was in such a disordered condition
that my breakfast would never
digest and as a result I would have
to vomit nearly every morning be-
fore I could get from the restaurant
to the hotel. This would always
happen on an empty stomach. My
other meals would remain in my
stomach, but cause me lot of
misery from indigestion and gas
bloating. I was feeling half-sick
most of the time and could not put
the right kind of pep and en-
thusiasm in my work.
IT had been doctoring for several
months and finally got to feeling SO
bad that I was forced to stay in
bed and I thought I would have to
give up my work for the balance of
the season. Then I started to take
Koniola and the relief this medicine
gave me was really surprising. Be
fore the first bottle was gone, was
able to eat any time I wanted and
everything stayed on my stomach.
And I could eat a full meal without
fear of suffering from indigestion
pain and gas bloating afterward.
Within three weeks time 7 was
strong enough to return to my work
and all signs of nervousness had
disappeared. My health in general
is now better than it has been for
several years. I have new life
energy and plenty of pep, which
makes my work all the more pleas
ant.
"Koniola certainly ended my
stomach trouble and built me up
better than any medicine 1 had
tried before. I strongly indorse it
to anyone suffering the miseries of
an upset stomach"
The Konjola Man is at Hook S
drug store, Illinois and Washington
SITS. Indianapolis, where he is daily
meeting the public and introducing
and explaining the merits of this
remedy. Konjola is Sold by every
Hook drug store in this city and by
all druggists throughout this Sec
