ACQUISITION OF ROAD
TAKES ON A NEW PHASE.
Through Trains to Chicago
Would Be Run Over New
Route, Thus Shortening the
Distance to Marked Degree.
Hagerstown. Ind.. May 4. It has
been learned that the party of surve,
ors which stopped here in the latter
part of March while engaged in local-
ins: a route for a railroad north of
town, was not employed by the propos
ed electric line between here and New
Castle, but was one of the Pennsylva
uia surveying gangs, and was locating
a route for the I. & E. extension from
Muncie. For years this extension has
been periodically talked about and
many have been the parties of survey
ors which have arrived here doing
much and talking not at all.
Since the I. & E. has actually been
taken over by the Pennsylvania, the
last survey from Muncie to this place
appears significant that the extension
will be built and that the junction of
the new road with the Richmond di
vision will be made at Hagerstown.
Will Change the Route.
When the new extension is com
pleted, through passenger trains from
Cincinnati to Chicago, will be sent
over that route, thereby shortening the
distance between the two big cities al
most twenty miles, and competing
with the C"., C. & u.. at this time by far
the shortest route from the Ohio river
to Lake Michigan.
Talk about the proposed iuterurban
road has been revived by the discovery t
mat luc out vcjui a n ci c wua niii& j- '
the Pennsylvania and not for the elec
tric. Promoters of the road in New
Castle declare that the road will b
extended to Richmond the present sea
son, but as there is nothing doing in
the way of work on, the right of way,
little stock is taken in the assurance.
Hagerstown' expects to get an electric
eouth to Cambridge City, six miles, to
connect with the Indianapolis and
Eastern, but when, that will be cannot
exen be predicted.
DUMM NOT GUILTY
THE COURT RULES
Was Tried in the City Court on

DUMM WISHES TO RID HIMSELF
OF HIS WIFE SO THAT HE CAN
MARRY HIS FIRST WIFE.
Noah. Dumm was found not, guilty In
the city court of assaulting his wife.
Mrs. Dumm on the witness stand, told
a. most pitiful story, her voice choked
with, sobs as she related it. Her lit
tle daughter played at her side while
the woman, was on the stand. Dumm
denied that he had struck his wife ajd
stated that during their married life
She- had left him five or six times.
Mrs. Dumm stated that the middle
Ot April she left the home of her hus
band on the John Lancaster farm, wo
Giles north of the city, and had gone
to her father's home so that the two
tnonths old baby could be given med
ical attention. She stated that last
Thursday she returned to her hus
band, he having made no effort to have
Jicr come home, and that while she was
going through a drawer searching for
a belt she threw out a small bank.
This angered him and he struck her in
the face while she was holding her
babe in her arms.
Mrs. Dumm stated that the assault
Thursday had been preceeded by a
quarrel. She admitted that she did
her part in the quarreling. "Do you
Suppose I would let anything like that
o on and not have nothing to say Y'
che demanded of Mr. Freeman. She
Stated that Dumm had cursed her. She
also stated that they had separated
twice on account of his mistreatment.

Dumm insinuated over the objections
of Mr. Freeman, that Dumm wished to
rid himself of his vfe by mistreating
her, with the end In view of securing a
divorce so. that he could remarry hi
first wife from "whom he J divorced.

ed men. In 1W1 there were 5,881
white voters and 301 colored voters. On
the common basis of four people to
each voter, the population of Wayne
township at the present time would be
28,890. This would give Richmond a.
population of between 21.000 and 20,-
00O. The enumeration of school chil
dren in this city announced Wednes
day, gave the estimated population of
the city at 21,577.

EXTRA PRECAUTION
FOR HAYWOOD JURY
Will Not Be Allowed to Stay at
Hotel, But Will Be Kept
Housed. ,
2 GUARDS, DAY AND NIGHT.
ENTRY TO LAWN OF HOUSE WILL
BE PROHIBITED A CONSTANT
OUTSIDE WATCH WILL BE MAIN
TAINED. Boise, Idaho, May 4. The jury which
will try William Haywood, the first of
the accused in the Steunenberg mur
der case, will be kept housed during
the trial. The law of Idaho provider
that such juries be kept in seclusion,
and the higher courts have always in
sisted on a strict compliance with this
provision. Therefore, rather than
take any chances with the publicity cf
a hotel in the case, Sheriff Shad Hod
gin has hired a house for them. Th?
house standing on a neat lawn and
garden, is just across the street at the
rear of the Ada county court house,
and within 300 feet of the court room.
To make the daily journeys of the
jury as direct as possible, the sheriff
has constructed a temporary stairway
from the rear of the second story of
the court house. Its upper landing is
the platform of a fire escape, and it is
reached through the ante-room of
Judge Wood's chambers. The jury
can therefore be taken directly to the
stairway without leaving the railed en
closure of the court room. An offi
cial cook has been retained and ar
rangements have been made with local
stores for a good and varied supply cf
food. Four bailiffs two for day duty
and two for night service will guard
the jury. The house will be constant
ly watched.Entry to the open lawn will
be prohibited and one of the day bail
iffs will remain at home while the jury
is in court.
Witness Chair in Center. j
The court room is being partly re
constructed to increase its seating ca
pacitj. An unusual feature of the
court room is that the witness chair is
in the middle of the chamber, directly
in front of the middle gate of the rail.
The jury faces the room, but its chairs
are on swivels that may be swuns
around to face the judge. The witness
chair is on a platform and is visible
from all points in the room.
Many extra chairs and tables are be
ing placed within the enclosure for tha
use of press representatives and a long
desk .has been built along the outer
side of the rail for the special writers
and artists. Special seats are being
placed for members of the Boise bar
and the seating capacity of the public
part of the room increased to about
three hundred.

DETECTIVES AT WORK
ON WRECKING CASE
I. C. & E. Outrage Is Being
Investigated.
THEY HAVE A GOOD CLUE.
During the past week, Indiana, Co
lumbus and Eastern detectives have
been working on a clue in an effort to
apprehend the perpetrators of the das
tardly attempt to wreck three inter
urban cars last Monday night at the
driving park. It is understood that
they have a good idea who the perpe
trator of the deed is, but are not yet
ready tor close in on him, owing to lack
of proof.
Spending Sunday at Home.
Secretary Charles Brown has ,gone
to his home in Piqua, O., where he will
spend Sunday. The Y. M. C. A. work
during the past week has been very
wearing upon him, and he will endeav
or to get a rest.
HEAVY VOTE IS
Saturday's vote was by far the heav
iest that has been cast this week and
as a result new leaders will be iounu
in several of the different classes. Miss
Sands has again taken the lead in. the
woman teachers' race and Mr. Steven
son has regained first place among the
men teachers. Joseph Burgess of
Whitewater, is a new entry in the man
teacher class and from the number of
votes he cast, bids fair to be an im
portant factor Jn that particular
branch of the contest.
It is only a matter of a short time
now until the contest turns into thj
home stretch, and it is up to the con
testants to do some tall hustling. One
contestant In a nearby town, realizing
that the finish of the contest is draw
ing near, has placed ballot boxes in
several convenient places in which her
friends may deposit their votes. This
oung lady has plenty of enterprise,
and it is enterprise that is going to
win this contest.

for Freeman and entered a plea of
guilty. There were extenuating cir
cumstances In the case and on the
recommendation of the prosecutor,
who stated that Freeman's jail exper
iences had liad the desired effect as
for the past year and a half the man
had been in no trouble, had cared for
his family, purchased a little home
and had been steadily employed. The
prosecutor also stated that Freeman
bad been goaded to provoke Jacone.
Judge Converse, after hearing the
statements of the attorneys, allowed
Freeman to go on his own recogniz
ance. Story of the Case .
After the hearing of the case Attor
ney Freeman stated that Nathan
Freeman, while employed on the
j building of the new Hoosier Drill fac
itcry, had been tormented by his fel
J low workers because of some trouble
i he had a good many years ago. Free
I man heard that Jacone had been circu
j lating stories and he hunted him up
I to get an explanation. Attorney
Freeman stated that recently Jacone
engaged in a fight with a workman
and that Jacone bit quite a chunk out
of his opponents face. Fearing that
Jacone might use similar tactics on
him, Freeman appeared before him for
the explanation armed with a rock
and a knife. Jacone was awed by this
impressive display of armament and
went to police headquarters where he
swore out a warrant against Freeman
for provoke.
Chief Bailey states that the report
ed fight between Jacone and a fellow
workman, in which the latter lost a
portion of his face for allowing it to
come in contact with Jacone's teeth,
is 'being investigated. If definite in-
; formation can be secured Jacoae will
be arrested. " '
