CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, SATURDAY. SEPT. 11,1895.

ISSUED EVKKY SATURDAY.

KI F. M:SK,

The fair ground looks deserted and dirty.

Dave Trout and Bob Clino were down from Chicago this week attending the fair.

'Squire btilwell is getting a monopoly of the marrying lately. This week ho united live couples.

\Vm. Morgan, sick for 10 days past with typhoid fever, is reported no better this morning.

Rev. Fuson has returned from his trip to Colorado improved in health, and will assume his pastoral duties to-morrow.

Nearly 200 tickets were sold at the Monon station to Louisville anil return on account of the national encampment.

John Bonnell will retire from the county treasurer's office soon to take charge of the building of the ice plant.

The teachers of this township, some forty in number, meet in the small court room to-day to arrange for institute work.

George W. Andeimn, of Ladoga, will remove from that place to Crawfordsville. and will erect a residence on east Wabash aver.ue.

Two lectures, free, on "Theoaophy'' are announced for next week to be given at tne Court House on Monday and Tuesday evenings.

A bicyclist named Tucker bad his arm broken during the races yesterday by a dog running in front of his machine. He resides at Champaign. III., and will abandon the bicycle for some time to come.

The racing between the horses, Que Allen and Rensselaer Wilkes, at the fair ground, w&e not at all satisfactory to the crowd, judging from expressions heard soon afterwards. The time made waB 2-16—2-1S, and 2-20 was not what had been expected, and the crowd generally for some reason was disgusted with it.

Some complaint is being made against the curbing of Main street, that the work is not done according to specifications, that the proper amount of sand is not put below and to the sideB of the stone. To avoid much of this, propertyholders will do well to watch the work, see that it is done right, and if not, refuse to pay for it until it is.

The Parke county grand jury has returned indictments against Mr. and Mrs. OaDiel Kellar, and Margaret Kellar, sister, charging them with the murder of Clara Shanks, at Wolf Creek Falls, in July. The defendants were arraigned and entered pleas of not guilty, and a motion to quash the several indictments will be argued to-morrow. The prisoners show the effect of confinement but the sheriff reports that there has not been the slightest admiEBioD of guilt. The prosecutor will be assisted in the trial by Messrs. Sims and Nebeker. of Covington, and Puett .t McFadden. of Rockville. The defense has retained Charles McCabe, of Covington,and Rice A- Johnston, of Rockville.

LINDEN SALOON MEN.

The Speedy Work of the Remonstra-

tors.

There is an element decidedly antagonistic to saloons in Madison township, and just at this time they are making a determined fight against them. At the session in March lest there was decided opposition to granting license to John Lmporly and John Vyse, who made application and were refused. Emperly 'eft the county. Vyse appoaled to the circuit court, but in the meaatime sold on a government license. He was an applicant at tho present term of commissioners' court for retail license. The remonstrators have been as active as ever, more s', perhaps. lhe Good Citizens' League people, finding that they bad but two days left in which to tile their petition of a majority of ail the voters in their township, set about Friday with live separate petitions. and with a man and fast team to each petition, made a complete canvass of the township in twelve hours, from 3 p. m. Friday to early Saturday morning, not misssing a man, ami securing the signatures of 223 persons, an excess ot twenty over half the voters in the township. Their petitions were placed on tile in good time. The present proprietors of saloons there. John Lyons and John Vyse. have employed the best legal talent available, and, contending that the present Nicholson law i? illegal and poorly drawn, they will make a tost case out of it, should the matter ever get into tho high courts. David Thewlies, John P. Kelsev. Andrew D. Archey, Abner Newkirk ana Dr. W. A. Lofland are prominent members of the league. The present movement is the opening wodge of the contest SCOD tc bp waged in this county.

Vyse seem6 to have as much light in him and as determined as the remonjtratorB. anU before it is finally settled, the lawyers if no one else, will be greatly benefitted pecuniarly.

Ho Cleaned Ills Man* Last Saturday three crooks landed in town and were promptly notified that their presence was not desired, by Marshal Grimes, and were told to leave own, which they promised they would out did not. Monday evening as Marshal Grimes was going home to supper, he met them and they at once started to run. He succeeded in catching one of them who showed tight and was at once properly cleaned and landed in jail.

Mr, Grimes is well acquainted with all crooks and has succeeded in landing a great many of them in the penitentiary. He is an efficient officer and certainly deserves great credit.

Who will J'ny .he COMM. Costs to the amount of 830 were created in a suit brought by the Citizens League, some time since, in a case before the Mayor. Several of the league assume to be in dense ignorance now when a settlement of these costs is talked of. th" cuit going against them, and it is probable that Rev Tucker will he called upon to pay it all. he bringing the suit in his o-vn name as presiuent of the league, unless other members of it come to his aid in footing trie iiiil.

(•o^rnmcnt Crop Iliillctln.

Warm weather prevailed, with plenty of rain in most counties. Very heavy rains fell on the 4th in the.central portion 0:70 inches fell within a few huu.-s in Marion county, and 4:50 inches in Tippecanoe county. The weather conditions were very beneficial to plowing, 6eeding, and most of the growing crops early corn is too mature to have received benefit from the rain in somq^counties cutting has already begun, rthe fodder is good but the crop small late corn is much benefited by the rains, as 6ome of it is still in roasting ear, Out, in general, corn iB maturing fast. Grass and pastures are growing fast, being quite green again. Clover hulling has been interrupted by the rain, the yield of seed is good. Late potatoes have been improved but the yield in the southern and central portion will not be good, but in the northern portion a very good crop is expected. Tobacco ie ripening well, some has been housed, in general the quality is not heavy. Tomatoes are in fair condition field tomatoes Bome part6 of the northern yortion are ony ripening slowly and will be exposed to damage from frost, in other portions they are ripening rapidly.

Trouble Over 11 Toll K0111I. What is known as the Farmers'gravel road, leading in a northwesterly direction from Frankfort is causing trouble. It has been a toll road heretofore, and the tax-payers want it made free, and have petitioned the county commissioners to that effect. The stockholders asa a price deemed to be unreasonable, while th,- viewers appointed by the commissioners claim that the road is in bail repair, and at present not worth purchasing. These viewers believe that it would be good policy to leave the road in the hands of the stockholders and compel them to make repairs. Two bridges alone which are needed will cost .? 10.000-

Co.,

Euward Tobin's farm house, near Roachdale. was robbed during the absence of tho family. The Blades bloodhounds, celebrated all over Putnam county, were put upon tho trail of the supposed thieves. A short distance away a toy safe was found which was known to have been taken from the house, and the dogs continued to follow tho trail, which carried them to liaiabridge anti to Greeneastle .Junction. There the thieves were captured and placed in the Greeneastle jail. The stolen goods were found on their persons. These bloodhounds area terror to evil doers in that section.

IIourulM After Cliieken Tlih-ven. Jackson township, Clinton county has oeen raided by chicken thieves for two or threo weeks, until now there is scarcely a farmer in the township who has a dozen chickens. Some of them ha\e lost as high as 150 in a single night. A few days ago bloodhounds were brought into the township from Darlington, and last night, when the thieves visited the hennery owned by Abe Miller, tho bloodhounds were given tho scent as soon as the robbers was discovered. What developed from the pursuit has not been reported.

55TH YEAR.- NO. 5

Tho Fair iliix Venr.

The Montgomery county fair, 1895, closed last evening. From an exhibitive point of view, it was about equal to those exhibitions held for some yeara past. There were the usual number of fast horsep, fat cows, chickens, lemonade venders, show freaus. and such as usually go to make up the county fair. In a pecuniary point or view tho fair was a success, and the amount of cash taken in is satisfactory !u me directors. The racing between Que Allen and Rensselaer welled the cash: a larger amount than ceived on that day,
