The New Carlisle $up relate* in last issue of an unusual drenm- stanee several day# ago. I t .see ms th*£ WHHam Stover wadt Mrs- Myrtle paid, heth of Clinton, Ind., eloped- to New York City. Stover and Mrs. DeaFa husband operate a garage and when they eloped they took the Deal automobile. Their arrest followed and a dectective brought the couple and machine hack, breaking down near New Carlisle. It became neces­ sary to put up a t the local hotel and tha detective handcuffed the. woman to the bed and slept with Stover who was also handcuffed to the bed. The next day the machine was repaired and the little party proceeded on their way to Clinton, We understand tha t action o f‘pro­ test w is taken by the S . P . congrega­ tion and the U. P. congregation to­ wards the prize fight that is schedul­ ed to take place a t Toledo on duly 4th. The protest la to be sent to Gov. Cox and no doubt similar protests are going in from.all sections of the state. The public seems to have the wrong impression of the boxing match or prize -fight situation. The prize fight is;hot legalized in any state in the country but the boxing match is. Pro­ moters of such affairs saw that the public was agfinst the prize fight:so a iiawwas passed in this state several years ago legalizing boxing matches. . In-ollof the'half dozen larger cities • boxing commission is appointed by the mayor in accordance with the law A license is issued for such events jsnd there is Uo court, governor or sheriff that can stop it as long as’i t is termed a boxing match. However wide the difference of opinion between people a t to what constitutes a prize fight and a boxing match, there is lit­ tle or no difference, but the cdming fight is termed a boxing match sndno doubt will comply.with the law. “Fights have been stopped in several afites beieause tbe taw did not permit ’ j ftn p g ll tptopoood f i f l t in Cindnnsti la f e w lN ^ .* f t « # i ^ ^ t h a boxing •***«ta»&tafttaw*w^ h*s baen I$-foiet'«rer since.

ARRESTED FOR SPEEDING. The South Charleston Sentinel re­ views tho arrest of former postmaster FVank Sullivan with the Houston fam­ ily for violating the,speed law when passing through Xenia several days ago, The charge waa 21. miles ah hour and the fine waa placed qt $ 10 . The Sentinel comments as follows: “Now if Xenia or anyother town ex­ pects to hold autos .{down to eight, miles the sooner they have' a few fun­ erals the betjker it will bp for the town, for half a dozen home autoS passed'tiie Houston machine and were not molested/’ I t would indicate that Xeniaiis had better be usurious of infractions of 'the auto ,> laws in South Charleston. ‘‘ *' -■ According to dispatches Ohio may be called upon at the election next November to approve or reject six prohibition bill*,. One will be a con­ stitutional amendment providing for the repeal of State-wide prohibition which wet leaders intimate they will' initiate. The other five are, prohibi­ tion enforcement bills passed by. the Legislature. These bills are of all de­ grees of severity. They were meas­ ures backed by the Anti-Saloon forces but they failed to carry the emer­ gency clauses which make's them sub­ ject to referendum, Many dry mem­ bers of the legislature refused to sup­ port the bills in that most of them only provided extra offices -a t high salries and could be of no use under nationwide prohibition.

TRUCES HURT RAILROADS. The high freight rates fcre causing an increased amount of. all kinds of material to be hwded.overtand by mo­ tor trucks. Within, the past few days scores of trucks have gone through this place in each direction loaded with all kinds o f freight. ‘ The great­ est problem we have nowwillbe a form of taxation for trucks that *rq causing wear on our improved high­ ways. I t is unfair to the auto owners of this state to pay*, a five dollar li- lenae fee and heavy trucks the same, when the truck is used for commercial purposes only at the expense of the taxpayers.
