Will Wood, Pearl Brju'i Cousin Now at Greencostle. The arrival of Will Wood at Greencaetle Tuesday caused a great deal of comment there. Since the beginning of the celebrated case there hae been much feefing in Greencastle against Wood, which caused the young man to hurriedly leave the city two months ago, when he visited his home shortly after the tragedy. It is probable that nothing will be done there until after the Jackson trial at Newport, where Wood is to be a witness, it is claimed, for the prosecution. It is likely that Wood will remain quietly at his home there until he ic again called to Newport to tell his story before the court.

Race Tor a Meat Thief. The police on Thursday received a warrant for the arrest of Samuel Pear man, of Fountain county, He left there Bome weeks ago and came direct to his brother-in law's, Bud Purr, who runB a saloon in the Valley. Going there officer Bannister, after making inquiry for him, discovered him rapidly running in a northwest direction. Orders to halt were unheeded, when the officer started after him, firing his revolver, but which seemed only to inspire Pearman to move faster. Pursuit waB continued, and the fugitive at last fell from exhaustion and was captured. He was taken to Covington on Thursday evening.

Will Locate. Mr. Duncan, Charleston, 111., who manufactures pants and vests, haB determined to locate here without waiting for any further aid from citizens, He has rented rooms in the Miller block on Market street. He will employ quite a number of persons in his business, probably 30 to begin with and afterwards increase the force. He will begin work next month.

Farm Sold. This week, through thu firm of Schultz & Hulet, the farm of Hon. E. V. Brookshire, of 185 acres, waa sold for the sum of $6,500. The farm is situated in the south-west part of this township, and had been owned by Mr, Brookshire for twelve years.

J. A. Mount, of Shannondale, is in the city. Mr. Mount is one of the most conscientious men who ever tried to mix with the political trough without getting swill on his Sunday trousers, but he is no politician. He is too honest. He is here with his falsetto voice and long, sweeping Prince Albert coat trying to do all he can for himself, but there is a far-away look in his eyes that suggests doubt as to whether the faired man has fed the calves. He looks as though he would like to roll up his coat, sit down on a box and whittle.— Sentinel.

JACKSON ON WOODS.

One Scoundrels Opinion of Another. In a late interview with Jackson, indicted for the murder of the Pearl Bryan at Newport, Ky., he spoke regarding Wood, the son of Rev. Wood, of Greencastle, who is connected with the crime to some extent, as follows: "I've heard that Big Four Willie Wood is going to be one of the witness*^ for the the prosecution," said Scott Jackson to an Enquirer reporter. "What do you mean by Big Four Willie?" "Oh, that's C. C. C. and I.—champion chippy chaser of Indiana. He doesn't know a thing about anybody else but himself.~He got stuck on himself Bome years ago and never fully regain his balance, the dear little angel. What he doesn't know about me would till a thousand volumes. All he can talk about is the mashes he has made—in

mind. He'B a regular peach, and a speckled one at that. If he had his just deserts he would be in this cell I am now occupying, and I'd be the witness. He's a bird, 1 don't think. I'm not losing sleep over either him or the negro Jackson, I've been told that was a sorry plug of a horse he said he drove. I've often heard of Jackson's Best Plug, but I gueBs this must be Jackson's worst. If that horse looked anything like the picture I saw, I'd be willing to wager that I could't drive out that alledged road to Fort Thomas inside of a week. When he comes to tell the truth about that dream he had. it will turn out to be a ginger-bread horse hitched to a policy gig. After the papers advertised for a cab driver be waited four weeks before he answered the advertisement. He bad sufficient time to pick out half a dozen roads leading there. He knowB bis business thoroughly. He saw our pictures in the papers he knew we were confined in the county jail, and he could easily pick UB out as Jackson and Walling."

The Mind Render's Work.

Prof. Alex. Johnstone, the mind reader and paimibt, has been in Crawfordsville all this week. On Tuesday he gave an exhibition of his wonderful power as a mind reader. A committee consisting of B. Russell, E. Cotton and Cliff Voris were introduced to the professor and directed to go and hide a needle in some part of the town, and then come back to him, when he would drive a team blindfolded, take the same circuitous route they had and drive up to the point where the needle was hidden. This he did successfully, driving through the streets blindfolded, and going direct to Cotton & Whitenack's drug store, where the needle had been placed, stuck in a card just as the committee had placed it. He gave an exhibition at Music

Hall last night.

Condition of Supreme Tribe of Ben Ilur. The second annual session of the oraer known as the Tribe of Ben Unr met the city this week. Officials representing the order lrom a number of states were present.

Supreme Scribe, F. L. Snyder, presented his report. In it he says. "The membership of the order iB increasing rapidly, and the courts are all in a flourishing condition. Our weakest courts are growing and there 1B a general inclination to membership wherever our courts are located, and a number who were almost ready to surrender charters have within the last six months taken hold of the work earnestly and shown such increased membership that it emphasizes the fact strongly that the Tribe of Ben-Hur is not only grand in its plans, but in its character as well.

His report shows the following death IOSB claims to have been paid: C. O. Dewey, San Francisco,

Bradshaw, the fugitive trustee of Cinton township, Boone county,continue to float into public view, one of which was presented yesterday, which was cashed in Indianapolis on the day preceding BradBhaw's flight.

THE KELLERS AT HOME.

Efforts of Rev- J. Newlin to Reconciliation are Repulsed. The feeling against the Kellers who were charged and acquitted of the murf" °,ara

has by no means

subsided, and the matter is still a topic for neighborhood discussions in the vicinity of Wolf Creek falls, where the tragedy is alleged to have occurred In spite

0f

the verdict there are people

who believe the Kellers guilty and will not accept the verdict aa sufficent to entitle Dan, Maggie and Nannie Keller to friendly recognition at the hands of the community. The Kellers look upon the prosecution as a persecution and refuse to forgive those who led in the expensive efforts to deprive them of their liberty and brand them as murderers. Their friends stand by them and the division of opinion is keeping the community at fever heat over the tragedy and the result of the trial.

The Rev. John H. Newlin who was the leader in the prosecution and at the trial, has made approaches since the trial to be friendly with the Kellers and his approaches have teen repulsed.
