NO. 35 GREAT VICTORY CQURT NWS MOTHER GETS CHILDREN OLD OFFENDER LOSES HAND IN SHREDDER BANK'S AUTO STOLFN Jim Johnson, Again In Toils Of Law For Stealing Two Hogs Of Ed. Dines. Taken From Shed Friday Night And Is Found On S. High Street Next Alorning. Judge Cyrus Newby Carries Every County In The District IS ALL HERE In Chaney Habeas Corpus Proceed ingHe Must Contribute To Their Support. Except Pickaway. J ' b - Jim Johnsoncolored, who has a bad reputation, was arrested Saturday charged with stealing two hogs from Ed. Dines on Thursday night. The preliminary hearing was held Tuesday evening before Mayor Wllklns and Johnson was bound over to the grand Jury, charged with grand larceny. Ills bond was fixed at 8500, which lie was unable to give and he was committed to jail. Mr. Dines lives about two miles north-east of Hlllsboro on the Ceme tery plko on the J. W. Evans farm. Friday morning when he went to feed his hogs he found two hogs missing. He and one of his men went on the hunt of them and traced them to the pen of Dick Golns on N. West street. The hogs however were not there. On his way to town Mr. Dines met two men who had been camping along the road. He asked them, if they had been anything of two hogs and they said a colored man in a long coat had passed them about 1 o'clock the night before driving two hogs. After tracing the" hogs to the Golns' place, Mr. Dines notified the ofllcers, who at once went to work on the case. Johnson asked Robert Sch welnsberger, who was acting as policeman Friday night, what they had found out about the hogs. Schweinsberger told him that they knew who stole them and the arrest would be made the next day. This is thought to have frightened Johnson, anyway Saturday he told Mr. Dines that lip had heard that the hogs had been seen going towards home Dines then called up his home and found that the hogs were there. When Dines went to the Goins home he found two other hogs in the pen one of which he positively identified as a hog stolen from him last August. Goins was arrested charged with re ceiving stolen property and turned over both the hogs to Dines. The trial of Goins has. been indefinitely postponed. Jim Joftnson has served one year in the penitentiary, having been con victed several years ago of stealing hogs from P.. S. Evans. Thanksgiving. Today has been set aside in the United States as a day of Thanksgiv ing and will be universally observed. Special services will be held in the churches throughout the country and attention called to the many reasons why we, as a people, have reasons for giving thanks. ' Peace reigns throughout our coun try, tne people nave Deen uiesu uy most bountiful crops ana prosperity is general. It Is only rignt that a nation that has been so greatly blessed, should set aside one day in each year to return thanks for the blessings vouchsafed it. It shows gratitude to do so and grati tude should always be expressed. It it proper for a nation to express its gratitude as for an individual. In every home throughout the land, where at all possible, an especially good dinner will be prepared today. Those, who have gone from the old home, will return to spend the day with loved ones and when the families are seated around the tables it should not be forgotten to give thanks to the Great Giver pf all good ihlngs. If not audibly at leastia silent blessing should be said and a prayer offered that we shall continue to receive mercy at His hands and that we may make ourselves worthy of his continued favors. Let us not take all the credit for our prosperity and happiness to our selves, but let us be a God fearing and a God loving nation and thus a right eous nation. Probate Court Proceedings. T. F.

H., Friday, i The olllclal returns from this Judi cial district, Including the counties of Ross, Pickaway, Highland, Madison and Fayette, certainly testify to the high popularity and sterling worth of Judge Gyrus Newby, of Hlllsboro. who was a candidate on the judicial ticket for judge of the court of common pleas, says the Scioto Gazette. "Notwithstanding the fact that, there was such a terrific landslide for Democracy, Judge Newby was elected over his opponent, Morrow, by the handsome ra.jority of 3752. To under stand just what this means In the face of the fact that on the regular ticket nearly all these counties went over whelmingly Democratic, passes ordi nary understanding and can only be explained by the fact that Judge New by, whose career on the common pleas bench In this sub-district has been such as to carry him into all the coun ties comprising It, and In each of thes3 counties his rectitude, his high Integ rity, his eminent fairness and his wide knowledge of the law has become so stamped on the minds of the attorneys and the people that it has swept aside all partisan feeling, and even with the mixed ballot on and new-fangled judl clal trial for the first time, lie lit a succeeded In gaining what might be called the' unanimous approval of the various counties. "The following majorities from over the district, which are ah official, show the esteem In which Judge Newby Is held as a jurist and man : MAJORITIES. Newby Fayette 1097 Highland 1632 Ross 141 Madison . 930 Pickaway Morrow 54 Total 3390 54 Net majority 3752 "The result in Ross county was brought about largely by a setting aside of politics and a vote for the man for nearly every attorney at the Ross county bar, irrespective of poli tics, voted for Judge Newby and put in agojd word for him."
