The venerable minister Is charged by Mrs. C. C. Hain, who until a few days ago rented apartments at the Hover residence, 606 East Pierce street, with obtaining goodsunder false pretenses.

Miller, overseer of the poor, that Mrs. Hain was In desti tute circumstances and in need of fuel and In this way secured a load of wood from the county. According to the fact as alleged by Mrs. Hain in her complaint before Justice Bry ant, she had for some time rented apart ments at the Hover home, for which she paid weekly until the end of the month. Her supply of fuel was running short, but had not been exhausted, when a load of wood .was brought to the yard, and she asked Its price, telling the driver of the wagon that she would need some in a few days. To her astonishment, she says, she was Informed that the wood was not for sale and that it had been supplied by the county for her benefit. Mrs. Hain, who insists she has always been self-supporting, was Indignant at be ing classed as a county charge and at once demanded an explanation from Rev. Hover. She alleges that he told her he ordered it and that sho should keep quiet, as "it would be all right." Not satisfied with the explanation, Mrs. Hain went to Overseer Miller and from him learned that other supplies had been furnished her at the re quest of Rev. Hover, so Mrs. Hain alleged, and which she denies ever receiving. Mrs. Hain immediately after the interview with Overseer Miller left the' Hover residence and secured rooms elsewhere. ' To Justice Bryant Mrs. Hain said she filed the in formation at the Instance of the county authorities. Rev. Hover at once gave bond for his appearance and will have a preliminary hearing this afternoon.
