Roachdale. Noah Evans, the slayer, is a brother of Harper Evans, who killed Tighlman Hanna and wife, at Cloverdale, Putnam county iu the spring of 18(50. He was tried at Greencastl and sentenced to the state's prison for life, from which tdace he ade his escape and has not been heard from since.
Evans and his wife drove into Roachdale early Tuesday irorning and Adams was occupying a chair in front of Rice's drug store. Evans made inquiry for him and he win pointed out. Evans and his wife then descended from tbe carriage and walked over to Ike drug store. When within a few feet of Adams, Evans turned to his wife and said: "Is that the man who drugged you with morpjine aud then violator your person?"
She answered, "Yes, that is tho man Evans then drew his revolver and poured seven bullets into Adams. The latter fell dead instantly. No attempt was made to stop Evaria aud he and his wife got quickly into their vehicle and drove out of towu. The sheriff gathered a posse soon atterward and followed them.
Two years ago Mr. Adams went away to be treated, and, if possible, cured of the opium habit, which he was successful in and returned home a happy mail. Not long after his return ho learned that Mrs. Evans was addicted to the same habit and thinking to play the pari of the good Samaritan he undertook the case with a hope, if possible, to cure her, not thinking that any thing of an evil uature would grow out ot it, but Mrs. Evans being a sociable person and of more than ordiuary beauty, one who would be in her society much would naturally admire her. Adams was struck with her beauty and made advancements which were, as we learn, not rejected. This, it appears, had been going ou for quite a while before Mr. Evans learned or jtand being an unprincipled person and a temper that ho had no coutrol of or tried to subdue, led him to make his threat. He accosted Mr. Adams ami demanded satisfaction in the sum of two hundred dollars for destroying the peace and harmony of bis household, whereupon Adams used some very bad and forcible lauguage, when Mr. Evans declared that he would a*ke his life soouer or later.
LATKK.—Evans and wife drove into Greencastle Wednesday and gave themselves up.
Death ol'Mrs. Charles Jtl. Gilbert. The community was shocked last Monday evening by the announcement of the death of Mrs. Charles E. Gilbert at her home ou west Main street in this city. Mrs. Josephine Gilbert, was born in Waveland 21 years ago, but for the past ten years has been a resident of this city. Two years ago siie was united in marriage to Charles E. Gilbort, who, together with a two weeks old baby daughter, survive her. Mrs. Gilbert graduated from the city high schools with lli» class of 'Sit, was a prominent member of society, a lady loved best by those who knew her best, and an earnest member of the M. E. church. Surrounded by every luxury aud still in the lender years of maidenhood, her deatli is leudered all the more sad. The funeial occured from the resilience Wednesday morning at Hi o'clock, Rev. G. W. Switzer ofilciating, and was largely attended. The llorai decorations were profuse and very beautiful, futermont at Oak Hill.
Fowler Won't Pay.
About a year ago, Crawfordsville sold to ihe town of Fowler, the Rescue fire engine and a lot of hose, in consideration of $850, on twelve months time. When the account became due, Clerk Scott drew upon the town for the amount. Last week the clerk at Fowler responded by saying the purchase had been repudiated by a now board of trustees which had just been elected and that tho property was now subject to our orders. This is very dirty work and requires an enormous gall to execute it. At a meeting of tbe city council Monday night it was decided to take action against said town to recover tbe amount, and a law suit is now inevitable.

SEVEN BULLETS IN HIS BOUT-
E. R. Adams Shot and Killed by Noah Evan* at Roachdale. Noah Evans shot and killed E. Adams, better known as "Dick Adams," at Roachdale Tuesday morning. About four weeks ago, at midnight, Adams, who then resided near Roachdale, was shot at several times while in bed. Two shots took effect, one iu the lung and the arm. Other shots lodged iu the bedding. Search for the guilty party proved fruitless, but a number of circumstances pointed toward Evans, and there was some talk of his arrest at the time. As soon as Adams recovered from the effect of those two shots he removed to

ENDORSED ZUCK'S ADMINISTRATION.
He Is Re-Elected County School Superintendent by a Vote of 0 to 2. Last Monday tho Township Trustees oi Montgomery county assembled at the court house for the purpose to electing a couuty school superintendent. Just previous to the convention being called to order a type written note from Mr. Frank Cornell, was ham led to each of the trustees which stated that ir he, Cornell, was elected to the oflice lie would agree to do the work for $200 less than Zuck if a majority of the teachers aud trustees did not think his administration superior to that of hispredeceB-
BOi. I his little missive soeuied to carry with it uo weight iu the judgement of the trustees, as the first ballot resulted Zuck St, and D. H. Gilkey 2, Hie republican trustees having cast a complimentary vote for the latter gentleman Mr. /uck was duly notified, and uot to bo outdone in the good work invited the trustees to the Sherman House where a sumptuous feast had been spread Tor them. Mr. Zuck is a democrat of tbe old school, a thorough scholar aud gentleman and that his highly successful management of the public schools of the county is appreciated is readily shown iu his almost unanimous re-appointment. As an organizer and disciplinarian Mr. Zuck stands without a peer as the present status of our schools will testify. Here's to you, Stout.
Assessor Maxwell's Statement. Iu reply to the REVIEW'S assertion last week iu regard to Mr. Maxwell's method of hiring assistant assessors that geutleuiau says that he has not deviated in tho least from a custom established aud clot-fly adhered to by his predecessors for mail. years past. Mr. Maxwell further slates the present was made at a smaller cost than the .1 estate assessment made five years ago, alth ugh employing a larger force at the presen time, Accepting the first statement as facts does uot make Mr. Maxwell's actions right. It is just as ea\\ to establish a had custom as a good one, lm because his predecessors did wrong is no l.-as iu ho should follow in their footsteps. The practice is wrong, perniciously so, and it is time to call a halt. Be it as it may, the REVIEW'S article evidently bore fruit, as it is positively known that two of the Assistants did receivo their $2 per day and are happy in thanking the REVIEW for it. Just how many more were successful through its efforts is not positively known.
