bitterness increases. Last Friday the prosecuting attorney filed affidavits against forty-four of the leaders of this organization, in w r hich are included some of the most prominent farmers in this part of the State. Monday morning, before the sheriff could serve the warrants, all the parties charged caime to the city and in a body proceeded to the sheriff's office and surrendered and they were taken before the court and gave bond for their appearance at the January term of court. They chopped down both of the toll-gates on the road as they came into the city to surrender to the officers. It has become the custom of all parties in this fight to carry axes in their vehicles, and when the gates are up they are chopped down and cut up. As soon as one gate is cut down another is put up by the company. The old sweep-gates have been removed and replaced on this road as many as four times In one day since this fight has begun. The men who are leading in this fight say that they will rot destroy any of the company’s property In the night time, but that they intend to make an open fight of it, and will assist in the prosecution of any one who shows the spirit of an incendiary in the destruction of property. The feelings aroused over this fight is the most intense and bitter ever known in the county, and business men are fearful lest the city and all of its business interests wall be affected.

tended with some difficulties on account of a previous unsuccessful attempt,-which was begun in 1890 and carried through the Supreme Court. The title of the case was Bleemee vs. Shattuck et al., the ph»lntll*l being Ernest Rleemee, a grocer and rich property-owner of this city. While the defendant, James W. Shattuck, and the two or three hundred "et als.” are farmers living along the line of the proposed Improvements. It Is worthy of note that In the present project the prime movers are the very people who were Its antagonists before, and that Bleemee, who prosecuted so vigorously and successfully the case of 1890, Is now keeping well to the background. Bleemee says he has found the people of the river bottoms very obstinate, and, while he la heartily in sympathy with the present movement, he Is discouraged from taking any active part, through fear that hts old adversaries may take It Into their heads to again

antagonize him.

An Eccentric Objector. One of Bleemee's chief opponents In the former fight was "Billy” Prevo, a riverbottom character, who happened to own a little higher ground than most of blsf neighbors, and who has always been opposed to dikes, railroads and Republicans. Bleemee he characterized as "a (1 a plutocrat,” and every time the case showed signs of going against him he would shoulder his trusty gun and sally forth with the declaration that he “was goir.g to defend his possessions from pirates, courts or no courts.” These assertion* wera always accompanied by a cloud-burst of picturesque profanity, which left no doubt *>f the sincerity of W’llllam’s Intentions. On these occasions, also. Prevo was wont to chew and expectorate "native twist” in such alarming quantities that many of the neighbors were Inclined to bold him personally responsible for the numerous overflows Prevo and a few more Choice croakers of his ilk succeeded in persuading the bottom people.

and holdings. Since 1890, however, there have bewi, a number of disastrous overflows, and as the law has been materially altered, the majority of the farmers now feel that It will be to their Interest to have the levee built. Prevo Is still fighting the project, tooth and toe-nail, but he Is about the only one of the old guard left, and his logic has lost Its weight. If the Prairie creek levee Is built, several thousand acres will be reclaimed In the classic retreat* known for years as Hew Harbor flats. Devil’s Goose pond and Indian Billy The Prairie creek levee would also give Vigo county an almost uninterrupted dike, extending from the mouth of Otter creek on the north to the county line on the south—a distance of between twenty-flve and thirty mlles-^as fourteen miles of levee have been built south from Teri-e Haute for many years. These Improvements mentioned above are all, of course, on the west, or Indiana bank of the Wabash river, while the Illinois side Is, in most cases, entirely unprotected, and. for the greater portion of the year, undei* water. The land In the sister State Is no lower, as a rule, than on the Indiana side and is probably equally as fertile. But the Illinois laws are not as advantageous as the Hoosier measures, and great dissatisfaction Is Being expressed across the stream. One of the chief Impediments, In fact, In the way of the proposed Prairie creek levee, .s the threat of Illinois farmers to bring action for damages, thus throwing proceedings Into the Federal Courts and probably retarding the Improvement for months. The men across the stream claim, with some show of Justice, that a levee on this side will divert mote water on their farms, and that they already have more moisture than they can con-

veniently use.

Trying To Meet Objections. The solution of this perplexity is a poser, to which a number of Terre Haute's leading lawyers are now devoting iheir attention. On the Otter creek improvement. which Is also on the east side of the stream, ft similar complaint arose from the farmers on the west. The Wabash at that point lies, however, wholly within the State, and the residents along Us western bank were advised that the best wav out of their dilemma was to go and do likewise. They are accordingly preparing to construct a dyke of their own, which will literally raise the banks of the river a hlght of several feet through that section. The fanners Jestingly term it, “Putting on the sideboards.” The provisions of the law have given rise to many amusing incidents in the only exemplification it has yet had. One proviso, for Instance, stipulates that every property-owner Interested shall be notified of the time and place of mesttng of the appraisers, whom the commissioners name, anti shall be at liberty to accompany them about on their mission. This is Intended, no doubt, to aid the apprsisers In their work by means of suggestions and advice, but In the Otter creek instance a small crotyd of remonstrants tagged about the appra’sers’ heels the entire time of their work, and by constant objections and remonstrances made the appointees’ l.fe a burden. The gentlemen who get the Job of appraising In Billy Prevo’s territory are, therefore, not greatly to be envied. Another interesting provision of the law 18 that all the surplus left from the sale of bonds, after the dike has been completed, shall be applied on the assessments. pro rata. As every property-own-er Is assessed a different amount, it will be seen that a dike, or ditch of any considerable length, would give the treasurer use for a lightning calculator for some time, should such a surplus exiaf. There la little probability, however, that, in these times, when contractors, and others for that matter, are addicted to overrunning estimates, rather than falling short of them, such emergencies will be at all frequent. The numerous letters of inquiry, of which the local officials are In receipt, are being answered favorable to the law, with the reservation that It might be improved upon In two or three non-essential features. These Inquiries come largely from the remote northern and northwestern porHon of the State, where several large drains are In contemplation. No Ire Palace Thla Year. St. Paul, Minn., December 29.-V.

DETERMINED TO DIE. Peradatent Effort* of Robert 91**011 To Kill Hlmaelf.

The

Wheeling, W. Va.. December 29.—One of the most remarkable and persistent attempts at suicide ever known In this State occurred in the neighborhood of Winfield, Putnam county, Sunday afternoon. The man who was so anxious to leave this world was Robert Sisson, a prominent and fairly prosperous farmer, and his special discouragement was a Judgment against him by a justice of the peace for a note for $100. Mental eccentricity developed itself several days ago, but excited no attention on the part of his family or friends. Saturday Sisson went to a neighbor and borrowed a double-barreled shotgun, saying he thought he would go after some rabbits Sunday. He went to church Sunday morning, and generally conducted himself pretty muoh as usual, but a,ter 3 o’clock In the afternoon he took the gun and went out to the barn, leaving his w-lfe In the bouse. He loaded both barrels with rabbit *hot, and then, placing the muzzle against the right side, he discharged it by pressing the trigger with the great toe of one foot, front which he had removed the shoe. The charge took effect In a glancing direction and tore an awful wound in the side. The shot did not penetrate any vital spot, however, and after writhing about on the floor for a time, Sisson got on his feet, and, with the blood driplng from his wound, set about trying It again. He placed the muzzle of the gun against his left side this time and fired it as before, but with no other result than a flesh wound and to tear his clothing and set them on fire. The reports of the gun alarmed his wife, and she ran to a neighbor’s, calling for help. W'hile she was absent Sisson attempted to hang himself to a timber In the hay loft, but the rope broke. He then took a clothes line, attached one end to his neck and climbed Into a hay mow, and was in the aot of making the rope fast to a timber when several of the neighbors arrived on the scene. Despite commands to desist, Sisson proceeded with tying the knot and then Jumped, but the thin line broke again, and a bad fall was the only result. His friends started to seize him. but Sisson broke out of doors and had strength to run more than a mile before being overhauled and captured. He will probably recover from his wounds, but will be sent to an asylum. REAL12ED ON HIS INSURANCE.

Charles P. Pfeiffer. Who Carried $11100,000. Aeidentnllj Killed.

Pittsburg, Pa., December 29.—Charles Pfeiffer, a wealthy la undry man, with interests In Allegany City and Chicago, accidentally shot himself in the stomach while out hunting In the mountains near Ligonier. and died before his hunting companions could reach him. Mr. Pfeiffer owned the Allegany steam laundry In Allegany, and was a member of the firm of Weber & Pfeiffer, who run a large steam laundry In State street, Chicago. Mr. Pfeiffer was quite wealthy and carried l.fe insurance aggregat ng $200,000.

AN ALLEGED CONFIDENCE GAME. Alleged Union Pacific Solicitor* Swindle Farmer* In Vermillion. Special to The Indianapolis News. Clinton, Ind., December 29.—The foolkiller has evidently been too busy during the past year to visit the jungles of Vermillion county, and do some much needed work. A few weeks ago a couple of well-dressed, ministerial-looking gentlemen appeared in Hall township, three miles north of this city. They had plenty of funds, and as they were wont to discuss religious matters and lead In family prayer wherever they went, it went without saying that they were two young preachers w T ho had come to feast on tne pure ozone of Vermillion county, and enjoy a few w’eeks free from the stifling smoke and sewer gas of the larger cities. They were here but a short time before they corrected the erroneous impression relative to their calling, but although not p-eachers, they, said they were Christians, and had come to do the common people great good. They claimed to be solicitors for the Union Pacific Railroad Company, and their mission, although a peculiar one, gave those whom they saw fit to favor a chance to get rich on a comparatively small investment. They explained that at the time of the building of the Union Pacific railroad the Government Issued bonds payable to the company for many millions of dollars, but had never redeemed the same; the interest on which had reached an enormous sum. This accumulated Interest, they cla-med, was due to the stockholders, who had some years ago begun suit for collection. After the suit had hung tire for several years it was dropped because the stockholders could not raise sufficient money with which to prosecute the claim. They also asserted that for some reason the Union Pacific officials declined to take an active part, in the prosecution of the claims, and the stockholders, wffio were principally private citizens, were alone in the fight, and for ten years they had been practically without money with which to push their suit. For this reason they had been sent out as commissioners to sell shares in the prospective judgment against the Government, and they proposed to the unsuspecting farmers that if they w r ould invest $50 in the solicitors’ fund, they would receive in exchange a gilt-edged certificate, making them plaintiffs in the pend.ng proceedings and heirs-at-law to a dividend of perhaps $10,000 on the $50 invested. Aided By Clipping;*. The men were armed with newspaper clippings purporting to have been taken from Chicago, New York and Washington papers, which said that the claims would be paid as soon as the Union Pacific stockholders had their case in proper shape, this to be done as soon as a certain amount of money was raised to meet the'enormous expenses incidental to renewing the action abandoned some years ago, for want of funds. They even showed a clipping alleged to have been taken from the Chicago Record, in which President Cleveland had urged the payment of the claim without further litigation, and at as early a date as possible. By use of these clippings, and their persuasive way of talking, they averted all suspicion, and it is believed that they caught a fine string of gray-whiskered suckers. The young men even showed letters from a banker at Danville, 111., in which the banker urged them to hurry to that city, as he wanted $20,000 worth of stock in the pending litigation. The young men professed to treat his offer with indifference. claiming to have a sure thing, and wanting the honest old farmer to have a chance of profiting thereby; for they, as well as the banker, were entitled to some of the soft snaps of life. It is now' certain that this letter was a forgery, written to lull suspicion. It chanced that one of the men was a distant relative of the wife of one of the Hall township farmers, and this was also used as a leverage in winning confidence. It is said that several farmers nibbled at the bait, and are now wanting an interview' with the smooth-talking “Union Pacific solicitors.” They are all closemouthed, however. It is known that the young men lived off the fat of the township, and left several hundred dollars ahead. The names of a number of farmers are reported who are now holders of “gilt-edged certificates,” showing that they hold $50 worth of very gloomy pros- | pects, and more developments are looked i

for.

A TRUST UNDER A NVILL.

Wabash, Ind.. December 29.—One of the meet imponant will contest cases ever i tried in tills part of Indiana has just been heard by Judge Shively, of the Wabash) Circuit Court, who has taken the matter 1 urder advisement, and will render his de- | cision early in January. The argument conducted by the leading attorneys at the ; Wabash Bar consumed four days, and j every inch of ground was stubbornly fought by both sides. The legal battle j crow's out of the question whether the testator may legally make a will creating a trust for all his property, Instead of j providing for Its descent to his heirs. There are some subtle points of law in- . volved in the controversy, the plaintiff.In the case contending that under the Indiana statute* no man is competent to create a trust and deprive his heirs, per- j petually, of the enjoyment of the property. ,

ers—Clinton, George, William and John | the suit to set aside the will would not ; have been brought, but Clinton, thinking } that he had not been equitably dealt with, ; was advised to contest, and he filed the j suit. Mrs. Whisler, who received but 10 | per cent., If the wlH is annulled will come j in for over $30,000. By this she will be the gainer, although she has not joined in the

suit to brfak the will.

! The whole question at stake Is whether ! the shares of the four heirs may be forever withheld from them, and Clinton j Whisler, the plaintiff, prefers that his ' mother’s share should be increased rather than that he should be denied possession

j of his part of the property.

NYhlchever way the case Is decided, It Is | certain that an appeal will be taken, i Great Interest Is felt In the outcome of | the suit, owing to the prominence of the ; family and the large amount involved, i There are over one hundred court decisions cited by the attorneys, which

, Judge Shively must examine. SANDBAGGED OR DRUGGED.

John Kelley, n Young Farmer, Mur-

derously TrVated at Liberty. Special to The Indianapolis News.

Liberty, Ind., December 29.—John Kel- ! ley. a young farmer, with $20 in cash i and other valuable*, came to town last j Saturday night, and about midnight he ! found in the gutter Insensible in j front of what is known as the “Dive” in j West Union street. His money and valu- ; able* w’ere gone, and when taken home it w 7 as thought that he had been struck j with a slung-shot. He remained unconscious until yesterday when a physician was summoned, who found that hi* entire ! right side was paralyzed. All efforts to restore consciousness have failed. The opinion is expressed that Kelley had been given "knock-out” drops In his whisky for purposes of robbery, and there is little hope of recovery because of delay in summoning medical aid. Nothing can be learned from Kelley, as he is unable to recognize any one, or to speak. This episode, coupled with the shooting affray of last Saturday, has aroused a fever of excitement. Mr. Young, who was accidentally shot in that melee, is slowly eonvalesoing. James Henry, the Kentuckian, who defied the marahal and did the shooting, is still at large, and no very decided steps have been taken to arrest him.

the relatives of the dead man can not prove that he is dead, because not enough of his remains were recovered to serve for identification. There is no doubt In the minds of Montpelier people that Htckok Is dead, but the insurance companies may not be so easily satisfied. Involving; Crown Point Property. Special to The Indianapolis News. Crown Point. Ind.. December 29.—A suit Involving $40,000 worth of Crown Point real estate was filed in the Lake Circuit Court this mcrnlng. by John Farson and Arthur B. Leach. The defendants are the city of Crown Point. Lamb DeWolf. Florence A. Crawley, Milton Hart and Malcolm R. Hart. Bonds were issued by this city some four years ago to cover the cost of certain street improvements adjoining the defendants' property. The plaintiffs sue to recover the amount of bonds.

Black Diphtheria Reported. Special to The Inliauapolls News. Crown Point. Ind., December 29.—Black diphtheria has made its appearance in the Deer creek neighborhood In the eastern part of this county. Nearly twenty cases are reported, and one death has occurred, the victim being the nineteen-year-oki daughter of August Lessens. The health board has instituted rigid quarantine measures, but the disease has gained such a foothold that it will be suppressed with difficulty.

GILLOOLY’S PECULIAR CASE. He Killed a Rival Who Took An Unfair Advantage of Him. Special to The Indianapolis News. Laporte, Ind., December 29.—A petition praying for the parole of Michael Gillooly, who is serving a life sentence In the Michigan City prison for killing policeman Thomas Lannan, of Kokomo, in 1877, Is being circulated and numerously signed. On trial Glllooly was sentenced to be hanged, but through the intervention of a number of women of Kokomo, among whom Mrs. William Wickersham and the Miss Truebloods were most active, Governor Williams commuted the sentence the day before the date fixed for the execution. The chief circumstance in extenuation is the claim advanced by Glllooly that Lannan hud arrested him in a house of 111-repute for the single purpose of causing his humiliation in the eyes of a young woman, for whose hand both were suitors. She is row the wife of a Kokomo business man and the mother of an interesting family. Judge Pollard, who was then on the bench and presided at the trial, has signed the petition. It also contains the names of the present and two of the late wardens of the prison, w'ho say that Glllooly has been a model prisoner.

Pan-Handle Method* at Remington. Special to The Indianapolis News. I>aporte, Ind., December 29.—Great excitement has been caused at Remington by the action of the Pan-Handle Railroad Company in attempting to fence up Railroad street, the principal thoroughfare in the town. The local authorities held a meeting and the marshal, acting under instructions, removed the obstruction, giving notice to the company that the citizens would resist any attempt to despoil the street by erecting a high fence. The railroad company state that their proceeding was lawful, and a test case will lie made. The town is thoroughly aroused and force is threatened if the railroad officials attempt to carry out their threat, which now seems probable. A Protest Against Lawlessness.

MR. BRYAN’S LECTURE TOOK

LITTLE PROBABILITY THAT WILL BE CONTINUED.

HU Flr*t Lecture at Atlanta Was a “Frost”—What One of the Manager* Say* of It — How the Scheme Originated.

New York, December 29.—J. J. Roche, the jeweler salesman, who was the originator of the scheme to take William J. Bryan on a lecturing tour over the United State, has just returned from Atlanta, where Mr. Bryan delivered his first lecture last Wednesday night. While Mr. Roche is not very communicative upon the subject, he says enough to confirm the news that Mr. Bryan’s first lecture was a "frost.” and such a frost that the former candidate for President of the United States will be permitted to cancel his lecture contract. According to Mr. Roche, he was instrumental in securing D. E. McBee, of Georgia, superintendent of the Seaboard Railroad Company, as financial backer of the Bryan lecture tour. Alexander Comstock was let into the scheme, and was to help manage the tour and the star. Mr. McBee was to receive 50 per cent, of the profits, and the other 50 per cent, was to be divided between Roche and Comstock. Under the provisions of the contract, Mr. Bryan was to receive $50,000 for fifty lectures. He was to receive a certified check for $10,000 as soon as he had delivered his first lecture. After the Atlanta lecture. Mr. McBee offered Mr. Bryan a certified check for $10,000. Mr. Bryan refused to accept It. He told Mr. McBee that he did not think he would continue the lectures. It was evident that neither Mr. Bryan nor Mr. McBee was satisfied with the result of the first lecture, and that neither desired to force the other to keep the contract If he desired to break It. When Bryan and McBee parted, It was the understanding that the lectures might be abandoned, but nothing definite was declared. There doe* not appear to be any truth In the story that Roche and Comstock had a fistic encounter In Atlanta. Roche is an athlete and a former amateur boxer of some renown. He is six feet two inches tall, while Comstock is but five feet five inches. Those who know Roche say he would never be guilty of such cruelty as aiming a blow at Comstock. Mr. Roche’s friends say he I* patiently waiting the return of Alexander Comstock to New York. They have an idea that Comstock has all along pushed himself to the front, and acted as if there was a "freeze out” game to be played in which Comstock would not be left. It was while watching the return* on election night that Roche thought of securing Mr. Bryan as a lecturer. Mr. McBee told him he had lost money on Bryan. “I can tell you how to make 1$ up and quit a big winner,” and Roche. “How?” said McBee. “Grab Bryan for lectures.” At 2 p. m. the day after election McBee and Roche had wired an offer to Bryan. Roche permitted Comstock to give to the public the news of the signing of the contract, and thereby earned the great displeasure of Roche by completely forgetting to announce to the American people that Roche was in the Bryan lecture pu’sh.

She and Her Son Inherit Considerable Fortune.

Chicago, December 29.—The Record’s Washington special says: Mrs. Mary Logan Tucker, daughter of the late Gen. John A. Logan, and wife of Maj. W. F. Tucker, paymaster United States army, and her son, George Edwin Tucker, havp inherited a considerable fortune from "apt. George E. Lemon, the leading claim and pension agent of Washington, who died in California a few day* ago. Capt Lemon was a Close friend of General Logan, and continued his Intimacy with the family after the latter’s death. Hi* body has been laid in the Logan tomb at the National cemetery, and the Logan family were among the mourners at his funeral. Captain Lemon lived at the Shoreham Hotel, where he had a beautiful suite of rooms, but he spent a great deal of his time at Mrs. Logan’s residence, where a room was fitted up for him, and he made himself perfectly at home. George Edwin Tucker, the youngest son of Major and Mrs. Tucker, who is now about five years old, was Captain Lemon’s namesake and godchild, and it has always been understood that the had would be well provided for, but It was not supposed that he or his mother would receive so large a portion of the estate. By the will, which was opened to-day. Captain Lemon makes several generous bequests to his friends and employes, and then provides that the residue of his property shall be divided Into five parts— one part to his brother, one part to hts sister, one part to Mis* Nannie Colwell, of LaCrosse, Wis., and the remaining two parts to Mrs. Tucker and her son. In addition to this, he gives each of them the sum of $25,000 cash. The will provides that the National Tribune, which is recognized as the organ of the Grand Army of the Republic, of which Capt. Lemon was the sole owner, and his patent and pension business shall be sold, and the proceeds divided among his heirs.

“Nearly Choked To Death "—A Peculiar Case. Mr. Fowler, No. 40 Springfield street, lately moved to 17 Douglas* street, says; "Have been sick for three years. Was In buelneas. Had to give it up. I spent $2,000 in money doctoring In three year*. Spent about all I had. Business gone, money gone, health gone. I was in despair. Thought I would lose my mind. My nerves, stomach and lungs were in an awful condition. Have tried ten of the best doctors I could select. They all said my case was a peculiar one and they could do me no good. They told me that one of my lungs was gone. I nearly choked to death with coughing spells. The neighbors came in several different Umea. thinking I was dying. No one expected me to live. 1 wo* confined to bed mo«t of the time since last July. "I called ifl one of the Munyon doctors, after everybody, doctors and all. had given me up. He told me what to do, and said I would be up in less than a month. I began to get better, and am now up and able to go out of doors. Have been to Munyon's office several times. My cough la entirely gone. Am now enjoying life again; am gaining in flesh, and I feel again like life Is worth living. My friends say that they can hardly realise that I am np and out. Indeed, I can hardly realize myself the wonderful change in my condition that has taken place in the four weeks that the Munyon doctor has treated me, but God knows I am thankful.” Severe Cough Cared — “The First Dose Helped Me.** Mrs. Rupe, 787 North Delaware street, says: *T was seized with a severe cough and pain In my left lung about six weeks ago. I sent for one of the best physicians in the city, who prescribed for me, but his medicine did not eeem to do me any good. I wa* very uneasy aboui myself and feared I was going to have an attack of pneumonia. At the suggestion of a neighbor I sent for one of the Munyon doctors, and he prescribed for me. The effect of the medicine was Just wonderrul. I could feel that the first dose helped me, and by the time 1 had finished taking the first prescription I was entirely cured. “I now advise all my friends to use Dr. Munyon’s remedies, for their effect on me was like magic.” Neuralgia Cared. Rev. S. W. Troyer, No. 477 Lincoln avenue, says: "I had been suffering from neuralgia. I consulted Dr. Munyon and he prescribed for me. I too* the medicines.
