MORTGAGES PROPERTY
OF HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW
----------
Harry Monroe, Who Came Here From Wabash County
About a Year Ago, Is Missing--Had Secured
Loan of Sixty-five Dollars--Wife Is Also Gone.
----------
Monroe was formerly employed at the Conrey-Birely factory, but has not been working there lately; in fact, has been without employment of any kind for several weeks. Early during this month he secured a loan of about sixty-five dollars from parties in this city, executing a chattel mortgage on household furniture which at the time of the mortgage he asserted belongs to him. His wife also joined in the mortgage.
The loan or any part of it has not been repaid. Monroe is gone, so is the sixty-five dollars. And now it has developed that the household goods which Monroe mortgaged were not his property, but that in reality they belonged to his month-in-law, Mrs. Holmes, who resides on west Hendricks street. It is also said that Monroe had made an effort to sell some of these household goods, but had been unsuccessful.
The young man is well known in police circles, as he has had some trouble with the authorities here a few months ago. When he first came here, and prior to his marriage, he was known by two different names, one name havin been given at the s hop where he was employed and another at the house where he was boarding.

BARN BURNED.

Small Building Consumed by Fire Near Geneva on Tuesday.

The barn contained only a small amount of grain and hay and the live stock was all rescued from the burning building. The farming implements and harness were also mostly all taken out. The loss will not exceed $400. Mr. Monroe carried no insurance.
The fire is supposed to have been caused by children who were playing with matches in the barn.

Sunday, April 10th, was a happy occasion for the children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and relations of Joseph Monroe, when about one hundred met to celebrate his eighty-second birthday. The father of these children was born in the year 1805 in Highland county, Virginia. When he was but a few years of age his parents moved to Claremont county, Ohio, where he resided until 1829, when he moved to this county and settled in the northwestern part of Noble township where he has resided ever since. It has been the custom of the children for a number of years to meet at the old homestead and recall the happy hours that have been spent there, and to show their love and gratitude to their father who watched over and protected them during their infancy. Although he has long since passed the allotted time of life, it is hoped that he may live to enjoy many more happy birthdays.Tuesday, April 12, 1887
