Miss Lillie MORRIS brought a bean to this office Thursday that is 34 inches long. It is
known as the Three Foot bean, and judging from its size, it is of the kind that one end
can be in a pot and a mess cooked while the other end remains growing on the parent
stem

STOPPED AUTOIST
Monday afternoon Mant. CHAMBERS, town marshal of Jamestown, was notified by telephone
from Brownsburg to stop and arrest three men in an automobile who, it was charged, had
caused a runaway at that place and killed a man. The autoists were described as wearing
white caps and linen dusters and that the machine carried no number. Acting upon the
information the marshal appointed two or three deputies and formed a blockade across
East Main st by having a half a dozen wagons and buggies to pull up across it, making
it impossible for any vehicle to get by. At the approach of the touring car they were
commanded to halt. The occupants were placed under arrest very much to their surprise.
The three men were told the charges and they looked much surprised and said they knew
nothing of any runaway. They said there was another party back a mile or so that
stopped to fix their machine. The men in the second also wore white caps and linen
dusters. Mr. CHAMBERS and deputies and one of the men rode out to where the other party
was and arrested them and brought them to town.
The men all looked innocent and steadfastly claimed they had caused no horse to scare
anywhere between here and Indianapolis. Other messages from Brownsburg stated that the
man was not killed but that he was badly injured. The marshal notified the Brownsburg
authorities that he had the parties and to come and get them. He was told the sheriff
of Hendricks county was on his way after them with a warrant and to turn them over to
him. The automobiles were put at the livery stable and the men went to the hotel and
took things as easily as possible for about two hours waiting for the sheriff. He did
not come and then was communicated with by phone and after he said he had no warrant
for anyone here, knew nothing of the accident at Brownsburg the marshal allowed them to
go on their way.
The men are all prominent citizens of Champaign and gave their names as follows: A.U.
KELLER, chief of police, A.L. PERCIVAL, Charles LYMAN,
Andrew MONROE, Charles PICKNELL and Dr. David BAUMGARDNER. No explanation can be given
for causing the arrest unless it was the work of a practical joker.

ANNUAL REUNION of HENRY FAMILY
The annual reunion of the HENRY family was held at the home of Thompson HENRY, east of
Jamestown, Tuesday. Quite early relatives and friends began driving in and in a short
time the crowd had attained the number of seventy, sixty-seven of whom were immediate
relatives of the HENRY family. After mingling with each other in social chat and
general enjoyment until noon, they all repaired to a sumptuous feast, which has always
been a feature of this reunion. After appeasing their appetites in a most hearty manner
the evening was spent indulging in reminiscences of the past, some speeches being made
quite an interesting address. Miss Cora JACKSON rendered a few selections. Relatives
were there from Ladoga, Lebanon and Crawfordsville. Late in the evening, after singing
two appropriate songs, the people began to leave for their homes feeling that they had
been royally entertained, and expressing hopes that nothing might present itself in the
future to mar the repetition of this meeting in another year.

TUBERCULAR TEACHERS
Dr. J. N. HURTY, secretary of the State Board of Health, says that he has received many
complaints from patrons of schools when teachers having tuberculosis are employed. He
received several yesterday.
At one of the institutions that I attended recently, there were five teachers who
had tuberculosis, said the secretary. They must be kept out of schools. Tuberculosis
is communicable, and children should be protected. The doctor has received a request
to examine the school house in Advance, some of the patrons contending that the
building is unsafe.
