in the Bank of Ladoga to A. F. Ramsey, one of the wealthiest men in the county. Mr. Ramsey will probably be elected a director of the bank at the next meeting. Mr. Durham had frequently kept funds to
credit here, but had never

The speedy trial, conviction and condemnation of .James E. Stone in the Daviess circuit court, Saturday morning for the Wratten murders was a genuine record-breaker, and it is questionable whether it ever had an equal BO far as speed goes. In fact, the case from beginning to end, has been remarkable for its unusualnesB in many particulars. First, the crime was the most spvage on record, and while theae are cases where as many persons have been slain, there is perhaps not another instance where an entire family of this size has fallen by the same murderous hand. And the apparent want of a motive also attracts no little comment. The murderer says he loved the family—that they were good neighbors, and he claims he did not secure any booty. He also displays a general composition of mind and body the like of which is seldom if ever met with. He apparently has as tender love for his own offspring as any father could have, and, in full knowledge of the fact that the testimony of his wife and daughter before the grand jury led hiiu to the terrible trouble he is in, he daes not chide them for exposing his guilt, but rather he praises them for telling the truth about it.—Washington Gazette.

A Wrong Bighteu.
The impression may have become prevalent in some places that Walter IJulett, in endeavoring to get his just dues, was doing so at tho risk of stirring up strife and discord. No such a condition of affairs exists and public sentiment bears testimony to this fact. Something over one year ago, merely as an accommodation, he came into possession of a note of J. M. Kecney's foi' 8430. The failure to meet repeated promises to pay were treated with clemency by Mr. Hulett until it was clearly apparent that the favor was not appreciated. Instead of receiving the gratitude thai courtesy would prompt under such circumstances, Keenoy rather chose to malign him in a shameful manner, and that, too, without the least provocation. Seeing, then, that his kindness was neither returned nor appreciated, and desiring to make himself safe if possible, he instituted suit against Keeney for the amount of tho note, with costs and attorney's fees, and received judgment on the same last week. This is a succinct statement of facts, and wo give them for tho benefit of those who may have been misled by seeing statements from tho other side.
Walter Hulett is too well known and his loyalty to the party too well established to be charged with anything low or contemptible in a matter lik6 this, He is not built that wav.
A $10,000 Damage Suit Affainst Th® County. On the 12th of last June Win. Hutchings was driving home over the freo gravel road running south from Darlington. While passing along Capt. E. P. McClaskey's farm his team ran tho wagon off a bridge and Mr. Hutchinga was thrown out, and smothered to death in the mud. CircumBtances went to show that the poor unfortunato man waa in a drunken stupor at tho time. Tho bridge spans a creek that contains water only through the rainy season.
And now comes ThomaB Sutton, administrator of the estate of the deceased, through his attorneys, Wright & Sellar, and files a suit against the county for $10,000 damages. The caeo will not come up before the next term of court. A. bill for damage was presented to the board of commissioners some time ago, but it
was not allowed.
