A HORRIBLE DEATH.

W. W

Wilson, of Shawnee Mound, Meets An Untimely DeathLast Saturday afternoon W. W. Wilson was killed at hm home, one mile south of Shawnee Mound. At the time »f the accident Mr. Wilson and auother gentleman were runuing a foed-grainer under a shed. The machine was running at a very high rate of speed, when through some unaccountable reason, the machine gave way aud the pieces were hurled in every direction, one of them striking Mr. Wilson on the head, reudering him unconscious. His companion escaped by running from the building. The engine, on being relieved of its load threw the governor belt eff and began running at a furious gate. The shaking of the boiler soon broke the steam pipes and the room was quickly filled with boiling water and steam. Every effort was made to reecue the unfortunate man and only through a heroic effort on the part of his wife was he finally dragged from the scalding room. He was hardly conscious and lived but a few honrs.

Mr. Wilson was a Methodist minister and quite well know over this county. He wa9 sixty-one year old and the father of many children, all grown, among them beiug the wife of Frank Goddard.

NOTILLBGAL.

Law

An Interpretation of the Prize Fighting by Judge SnyderLast Saturday. Ed Corey, Chucky Fell and Professor Friday Clark were liberated from the county jail by orders from the court. It appears that in looking over the law in the case Judge Snyder found that the definition to prize fighting was not given either in the common laws nor the statutes. Although a heavy penalty ts prescribed for the offense the crime is not defined and consequently not pnuishable by law. The charge of assult and battery can not even be prefered because according to the case of the State of Mississippi vs. Jake liilraiu the element of anger essential to the offieuse is absent, 'ibis decision practically legalizes prize fighting in Indiana and makes her a wide open state and will remain so until tiie next legislature convenes and defines euifh offense, as it is hardly probable that tiov.

Hovey would call an extra sessson or the legislature just adjourned to act in the matter. As slugging matches are quite a drawing card the R. M. A. of this city might establish a degree or enterprizo by arranging for several "mills" tkis spring and ran excursion trains from various points iu the Stale to our town. As we understand it this]*, the object of the association and we dcciu this sugges ion as very timely.

Another Damage Suit.

Now comes Dr. T. J. Griffith, through bin attc.rm.Tjb, Wbittiugtou it Vaucleave, and files a suit in the circuit court against William Steele for $1,000 damages for injuries sustained from the result of an assault made upon him by said Steele. He alleges in his complaint, that, iu consequence of said assault, his right side has become paralyzed, the sight of his right eye impaired, seriously crippled iu one leg, that be is now totally disabled from practicing his profession aud that his bill for medicinal treatment will reach $100 and deems $1,000 but a very reasonable compensation. The defense is represented by Hanna !t Hanna. The origin of the trouble dates back during a meeting of the Good Templar's lodge in this city, of which both are quito prorni nent members, some four weeks ago, at which time Steele accused the doctor of purloining a pair of mittens rroin the hall. The lie soon passed and Steele proceeded lo do up bis antagonist. Steele was arrested and heavily fined in Justice Chumasere's court. Steele then had Griffith arrested for provoke, and after several postpouments the case came to trial last Monday morning. The case was stubbornly fought but the judge fined Griffith one dollar and costs. Griffith then appealed the case to the circuit COUJU The trouble is to be deplored as it will, no doubt, have a tendency to cause a disruption among the Good Templars of the city.

Seriously Injured.

At :i o'clock Tuesday morning as a freight train on the Vandalia waB entering the city, the fireman John Elliott, by some means fell from the engine into the ditch. Tho engineer did uot miss him uutil reaching the depot when the traiu was backed to where Elliott bad falleu where he still lay uuconscious. Drs. Rankin and Jones were summoned and administered to bis wounds. His principal injury lay iu a wound on the hack ot the head, although he sustained some internal injuries. A comfortable bed was made for liiin in tho caboose and lie was taken ou to his home in Terre Haute. It was his first trip over Ihe road.

Were After Mason.

Several members of the horse tliier detective company from Hillsboro were in the city Tuesday looking for one, John Mason, who, on Saturday last, simdenly disappeared from the town, taking with him $ 1(10 belonging to P. E, Myers, ex-trustee Cain township. Mason is a brother-in-law of Myers. The detectives learned that Masou had been in this city ou .Monday but had left r«r Lafayette on the evening train, for which place the gentlemen immediately departed.

Brant-York.

W, Scott, in the presence of a tew friends aud relative-), The union of these two hearts is what can truthfully be termed a splendid match aud the HKVIKW joins in extending congrati'iations.
