Hughes, the distinguished British Columbia citizen, who robbed the Fox River Grove bank last spring changed his residence Friday from the county jail in Woodstock to the state penitentiary at Joliet. Hughes was sentenced last wok to serve from one to ten yean for the plea of guilty on the indictment charging him with robbing the bank. Numerous reports have been going about of late that Hughes is going to try and "beat the rap." In other words they say he is going to seek his release on certain rights that he claims he has under a certain treaty between the United States and British Columbia. State's Attorney V. S. Lumley Is sure he has the local records in such shape that Hughes will not be able to get out until he has done a long "stretch" at Joliet. , Fear that Hughes would try and make his escape while being taken to Joliet did not seem to bother Sheriff Edinger. The transportation of the prisoner from the Woodstock jail to Joliet was not advertised, but careful plans were made and Hughes was transferred without any mishap. It was rumored that . gangsters would make an attempt to abduct Hughes on theday he was to be taken to Joliet. ^Sheriff Edinger only laughed when such a rumor reached his office. Local officials \are glad Hughes is behind the bars. Iphe tries any funny stuff or gets his 'release on the present charge, State's Attorney Lumley has the Richmond bank robbery indictment against him which he can press at any time.

Seeln Companiouhip for Few Y«ar» L«ft to^Him. Great Bend, Kan.---Well, well. So Uncle Charley's married? Humph! Never expected him to hook up with Virginia Pritchard. Why, he ha* known her ever since shct had to howl for food--he's. old enough to be her grandfather.** But Uncle Charley's married, anyway, despite what the folks think about it. Uncle Charley Is Charles Andress. He. Is seventy-eight years: old. It surprised many here when he married Virginia Pritchard, twenty-f' six, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ike Pritchard, for fifty yeanp owners of Great Bend's circus lots. Florida Honeymoon. Uncle Charley and his bride art now te Florida on their honeymoon. "Yes," said the young-old bridegroom, "there is considerable difference In our ages. But we have found a happy companionship. 1 have been lonely and I have but a few years to live. I want them to be happy years with Virgi»la.H And so It was that the December^ May honeymooners left for the sunshine and warm breezes, while the gossipers still puzzled over the marriage to Virginia Pritchard. Uncle Charley's friendship tor the Pritchards developed through their mutual contacts with circus life. For years Andress was a member of the executive stait ef the 'Rlngllng Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circnsea. Met Her In Infancy. Through these connections he met Mr. and Mrs. Pritchard and incidentally their daughter, Virginia, when she .was an infant. He saw her grow from infancy to womanhood and finally asked her to marry him. The bride's parents first met Andreas when he was operating his own .show--a trained bird and magic show. Andress acted as the magician. Yoiics passed and Andress ended his own show and became attached to the "i ig top." His connections with the. circuses brought him to Great Bend annually and a close friendship arose between him and the Pritchards. In later years when tlncle Charley severed his connection with circus life, he returned to Great Bend to make his home and to look after his extensive farming interests. Being a widower, Andress made frequent trips to the Pritchard home and it was on the visits that his friendship with the oldest daughter of the family developed. Having no family of his own, Anddress was looked, upon by the Pritch» ards as a member of their family. He dined with them frequently, and when the manriage took place on November 9 it united two families whose chief thought was circus happenings. • British Columbia Hen Lays 357 Eggs in Year' Agassiz, B. C.--Failing to produce only eight days out of 365, a white Leghorn pullet owned by Mr. and Mrs. W. Whiting of Port Kells, B. C., has just established what is claimed as a new world record by laying 357 eggs in a year. The previous record holder was a white Leghorn of the same stock, owned by the University of British Columbia. She laid 351 eggs in 364 days--but her eggs averaged only 22 ounces to the dozen, as compared with a 26-ounce. average for the Whitings' pullet. The latter pullet's production for the year weighed a total of 52 pounds-- just exactly ten times the weight of tl:o hen at the conclusion of the test. W. • IT. Hicks, superintendent of the Dominion experimental farm here where the test was held, attributed the bird's remarkable record to the fact that she received an abundance of skimmed milk and grain feed, in addition to the usual scratch grain and mash. It Was Only a Dream, But He Took No Chances Flint, Mich.--When Alex Schoeffer dreams he does it sincerely and yon can't take a chance on one of Uiem coming true. For instance: The other evening he retired for a much needed rest. He dreamed the house was afire and that flames were licking up the side of his bed. He awoke, saw no fire, but called the fire department just the same. Then he went back to bed. As he explained to the firemen after they had broken down the door to get Into the house: 'I can't tell a thing about my dreams. I might have been awake when I was' asleep or I might have been asleep when I was awake. You can't always tell. . So I took BO chances and called you up." • It you have a word of ehtfor That mny light tho pathway trttf W a brother pilgrim ktr*, -Let him know.
