THE AGED TASTES 18 DEAD.

Uncle Bazil Tracy, An Old Pioneer, Dies After an Eight Weeks' Fast. Uncle Bazil Tracy died at the home of his grandson-in-law, Jeff Mills, of Wayne township, this morning at an early hour at the advanced ago of 90 years. For eight weeks his death had been hourly expected and during that period he had taken no nourishment but merely managed to keep alive by reason of his wonderful vitality. The funeral will occur Sunduy morning at 10 o'clock at Waynetown under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity of which the deceased was an old and honored member. His dying request was that Rev. Thomas Quillen, of Crawfordsville, should deliver the sermon.

Mr. Tracy was born in Kentucky and although a man or small education he always displayed rare business ability and amassed a large fortune. Two years ago IIG owned 2,000 acres of land in this and Benton county but about that time he began to give it around among his five children and his grandchildren and now a great law suit is on hand to test the validity of some of these gifts and also an alleged sale of land. His grandson-in-law, Jeff Mills, purchased a large and valuable tract of land from the old gentleman giving him his notes for it. The other heirs assert that Jeff got around hira and now has even the notes, the estate having absolutely nothing to show for the transfer.

Mr. Mills entors a general denial and asserts that everything is perfectly straight. Along legal battle will result and somo of the old pioneer's possessions will slip away before the end is reached. Mr. Tracy died on the land he entered many years ago.

Joe's Fortune WaB Told.

Lizzie Finney is the charoTing and entertaining little lady who runs the fortune telling emporium over Poole's grocery store and who is a neighbor of Mrs. Bolle Uelashmit, who was the prosecuting witness against one-eyed .Toe Devane.v in the larceny case. Finney as an artiole of femininity is simply delicious and as a fortune teller she is unsurpassed. About a week before Joe skipped with the watch and boodle of the beautiful Belle, and while he was still basking in the tropbal sunshine of that fair charmer's smiles, he called upon Finney in company with said Belle to get his fortune told. Finney out her gilt edge "squeezers" and pausing frequently during the running of the cards to gaze intently at their faoes and mumble certain incantations she read Joe's fate as follows "Uing! you are going to have trouble with a dark haired woman. (Joe's single eye rolled fearfully toward Belle.) "I see trouble ahead but you are going to get somo money unexpectedly. More trouble with the dark haired woman. You nre going to leave town but are coming ba«k again with a man in blue clothes with brass buttons. He may be a gen eral but he looks like a policeman. Ah three clubs in sequential order. You are going to make a long journey to the north. You are going to visit in a large hotel by the lakeside. Ten of diamonds! you will wear loud clothes and cut your hair short. Deuce of clubs! you shall never marry the dark haired woman. Despair.

Perhaps in the light of recent events Joe sees that Finney as a fortune teller is simply superb.

Guilty of Embezzlement.

Tlie trial of Joe Devaney, charged with getting away with the^money and witch of Mrs. Belle Delashmit, occupied tho time in the circuit court yesterday afternoon and this msrning. It wus productivo of much mirth and not a little scandal. Prosecutor Moffott and W. E. Humphrey appeared for the State and Hanua Hanna for the de fen-lants. The jury after retiring at •noon made up their verdict ajd re turned it right away after dinner. They found Joseph guilty of embezzlement and 6ent him to tho pen for two years fined him one dollar and disfranchised him. Joo seems to hnye gotten it the neck to some extent.

HORRAH FOE HARRISON!''

Dolectable Mr. Spingler Assists Eis Wife To Elope With Grandpa Dixon. Mail carrier Arthur Dixon, sweet girlish young man of 75 summers, opperates between New Ross and the village of Beckville, several miles east of this oity, has eloped. Thereby hangs as racy a sensation as has been given wind here for some time, and is rendered all the more ridioulous from the faot that the "injured husband" assisted his "undutiful wife" to desert him. Mr. Spingler is a blacksmith by trade and until recently worked in a shop at Smartsburg. He left Bmartsburg, so it is claimed, under considerable pressure, ne hauled up at Beckville and making that metropolis his headquarters, there deposited his beautiful and voluptuous wife, aged about 40 years. He would trot out about the country and be gone week or ter. days at a time. Now it came to pass that during these absences old grandpa Dixon would drop in on the charming Mrs. Spingler to mnke neighborly call, and with the soft love light beaming through his watery old eyos he would sit and silently ogle the delicious morsel by the hour, occasionally licking his withered chops most suggestively. Well, this sort of thing went on for some time and finally the heart of the coy Mrs. Spingler softened toward the ridiculous old vampire and it is whispered that on sundry and divers occasions, she allowed hie palsied arm to slip around her wasplike waist and listened as he told in trembling accents that old, old story, which is always new to loving hearts. When bread-be-stower Spingler came home day before yesterday his loving wife told him the condition of affairs and teased him like everything to let her run off with grandpa Dixon. That is, it is supposed she did, for it is mighty certain, gentle reader, that Mr. Spingler, -was cognizant of the proposed elopement, and, liko the indulgent husband that ho is, gave it his full sanction and consent. Not only that but he assisted. In was arranged that Mrs. Spingler should meet her youthful lover at the crossroads, where he should await her with a buggy in which he was wont to carry Uncle Sam's mail. At the appointed hour Mrs. Spingler came trudging down the road und at her side was her obliging husband gallantly carrying the satchel which contained her elaborate trousseau. She was gently assisted into the lofty vehicle by grandpa Dixon pulling in front while Mr. Spingler pushed behind.

Then the whip was cracked, the old horse gave a start, a mighty groan, and was off with the cooing elopers, jtfr. Spingler stood in the middle of the road looking after the departing couple with

teBrs

in his eyes wlroh was very

natural under the circumstances, but with a heroio effort he choked down his grief and waiving his hat over his head he shouted enthusiastically: "Hurrah for Harrison!"

That was all. The elopers wont to Bainbridge where they intend to reside for the present. They say that as soon as a divorce can be secured they will marry. May they live happily all the rest of their lives.

After His First Love.

Thore is to be quite a romantic marriage to occur Bouthwest of the city Sunday night on the Paschal Wilhite farm. .Somo twenty years ago or more A. B. Rush, now a wealthy citizen of Missouri, was assiduous in his attentions to Miss Eunice Branch. Both were extremely devoted but a lovorB' quarrel caused an estrangement and a short time afterward Mr. Rush married the daugher of John Ware, of Alamo. He removed to Missouri where ho now has a married daughter living. Last June his wife died and some days ago Mr. Rush returned to this neighborhood and renewed his attentions to Miss Branch who has lived nil these lonely yoars in single blessedness and is now a comely spinster of forty odd summers. Mr. Rush's suit was rushed with a zeal in keeping with the suitor's name and Miss Branch has quite graciously relented and consented to the marriago. Rev. Thomas M. Hamilton will perform tho ceremony.

Galbreath Refuses to Allow Amputation. Yosterdsy afternoon Dr. Geo. F. Beasley was called to Linden to amputate the leg of James Galbreath, who was crushed between the cars of a freight train, enroute from Linden to Crawfordsville a few days ago. When Dr. Beaslev arrived Galbreath refused to permit an ampntation to bo made, remarking that he would die anyway, and that he might as well die with his leg on as off. An" examination of the leg revealed that mortification had set in, that there was signs of gangrene and that there was chance of saving Galbreath's life by amputating the limb. Dr. Beasloy held a consultation with several Linden phy sicians and informed them that death would certainly ensno unless the leg was taken off. Galbreath, however, insisted that the member remain as it was, and as a result the leg was left whole- and undisturbed.—Lafayette Courier.

Dr. Ensminger thinks Galbreath will recover, anyhow.
