On Charges of Abandonment
-- One Pleads Guilty to
Charge in Court
----------
(From Saturday's Daily.)
Two women were lodged in Shelby county jail this morning to await hearings in the Juvenile court on charges of abandonment. Blanche Steinhilber was arrested this morning at Fairland by Deputy Sheriff James Whisman, and brought before the court here where she entered a plea of guilty to the charge, and Judge Wray ordered her remanded to the jail to await the action of the court. The case will not come up for hearing until Judge Alonzo Blair has returned to his duties here after finishing the Bunch trial at Muncie. It was stated at the court house today that Mr. Blair would probably return here sometime next week to resume court.Thursday, July 27, 1916

TWO WOMEN HELD
IN COUNTY JAIL
----------
On Charges of Abandonment
-- One Pleads Guilty to
Charge in Court
----------
(From Saturday's Daily.)
It is said that Mrs. Steinhilder and Charles Rapier came to Fairland last night for the express purpose of kidnapping her child, 21 mongs old, from the home of it's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Palmer, but they were frustrated in this by Mr. Palmer who drove the couple from his home. It will be remembered by readers of this paper that Mrs. Steinhilber and Rapier eloped from this city about four months ago and it is said that they have been living in Kentucky since that time.
The other woman to be brought to the jail was Ida Tindall, wife of Frank Tindall. She is charged with neglecting her children and was arrested last night near St. Paul by Sheriff Terry. The court fixed her bond at $100 in default of which she was taken to the jail to await action of the court. One week ago today, the court ordered four of her children taken to the Gordon Orphan's home.

DYNAMITE BLOWS
OFF MAN'S HAND
----------
Marshall Palmer of Fairland
Terribly Injured by Premature
Explosion -- Arm Was
Amputated Last Night.
--------------
Palmer had been engaged by Frank Timney to blow a number of stumps and rocks off his land near Fairland. He had completed the work and had one stick of dynamite left. He asked Timney if he could have it, and Timney replied in the affirmative. He then went down to Swamp creek, a short distance from Fairland and standing on the bank of the creek, he lighted the fuse.
He raised his right hand, which held the stick of dynamite for the purpose of throwing it out into the water, when it suddenly exploded, resulting in Palmer's injuries.
Screams from the man brought two or three people to his side and he was carried to the railroad, where there was a handcar. He was placed on this and taken to Fairland and then to his house.
Dr. M. M. Wells was called and he found it necessary to amputate the right arm near the elbow, which was done last night.
Palmer is an unmarried man and resides with his mother. He is about thirty five years of age. For several years he resided in this city, but moved to Fairland fifteen years ago.
A telephone message from Fairland this afternoon at three o'clock is to the effect that Palmer will not die as a result of the accident.
