Roberts Rashness.

Everybody knows Robert Ay ere, the colored wiennerwurst vender. Robert is somewhat disfigured at present, even to suchjan extent that his most intiment friends fail to recognize him. Last Sunday night a couple of drunken hoodlums attempted, by mistake, to enter Roberts spacious bouduoir over People's grocey. This midnight disturbance of his peaceful sleep so incensed Ayers that he decided to annihilate the intruder. But he didn't. At the first onslaught they gathered him and by a few well aimed and vigorous kicks on his nude body left several impressions of their cruelty, They slapped him and beat him and then walked on him and when they were through with him he was more dead than alive. He reported the case to the police Monday morning but as he didn't recognize his assailants it was of no avail and the parties of will of course escape punishment.

Then he grew contidential, and drawing a News reporter, whom he supposed to lie a disinterested stranger, aside, lie explained as follows, assisstedb\ an occasional question: "I live at Crawfordsvillo and my name is CliarlesaF.

the freak is an escaped refugee from some insane asylum, lie has taken up his abode at a straw stack where he remains snugly ensconced during the day and at night ho goes foraging. Ho is described as a man of medium height, stoutly built, with stubby beard "iaail h: shaggy hair. Last Sunday

night Charley Francis met him on the bridge which crosses Black Creek. The

sight of Francis seemed to enrage the fellow, for he gave a shrill scream and made for Charles' rapidly retreating figure. After a chase of half a mile. Francis reached home and dashed through the door,' tho door, falling in a hop on the Hour. The crazy man stopped at the gate but soon sliufiled off etc. ss the fields. People there are afraid to venture out after night and P^.iY.^s Tear to send their children to school lest they meet this wild man and co,.ie to some harm. Mr, Agnew has or ganized a band to hunt down the freak They made their first grand chase la3t right but with what success tho little band met we have not been apprised.

Struck His Mother-in-Law.

I Saturday night Frank Seaman, a local ugh, took ou board a merry

-'jag"

and

I rjunning for bear. He finally driftea to the homo of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Cooney Scott, who gambols in the uehghtful precincts of tho north end, and very naturally became involved in an unpleasant controversy with that good old woman. An argument in that portion of the town moans a largo size "scrap'' and Seaman was particular that I this one should be no exception and he I finally threw his right hand at her with an energy worthy of a better causo. It caught her alongside the face and sent her violently to grass. She revived in time to report the case to the police and her naughty son-in law was thrown ruthlessly in a barren cell at the jail. Mon. day morning ho was brought before the

Mayor and after liquidating the usual amount was released.

Represent Honest and Genuine Prices.

A Oute Little Lady.

Last Tuesday at noon a nicely dressed young lady tripped gailey into the Music Hall restaurant and ordered dinner. After finishing her repast she asked to be shown into tho toilet room which request was readily granted. After waiting for half an hour for the young lady to re-appear and settlo for her meal one of tho clerks was sent to collect. But he didn't. The bird had flown and with her had taken a new cloak and dress, belonging to the Misses Maggie Ginnan and Minnie Hastiday, waitresses, which were hanging in the room. It is supposed she took the Big Four train for Indianapolis but telegrams to tho Chief of Polico there has so far failed to locate tho pretty thief.

Trustees Meeting.

The regular December meeting of tho trustees of Wabash College occurred in this city this week. But little business of importance was transacted although many points of interest were brought up and much was expected therefrom. Tho subject of co-education received its death blow, at least for the present, on account of lack of funds. A committee was appointed to select a successor to Prof. Norris and was given until Jan. 1st to perform their duty. There aro thirty-two applicants for tho position. Tho subject of a successor to Dr. Tuttle was discussed at some length. Several names wero mentioned but no one was chosen and will not be before the meeting in June.
