At thf boiteih' national convention on Thursday at Indianapolis, Palmer, of Illinois, was nominated for president, and Uuckner, of Kentucky, for vicopreuidont.

Old The annual old settlers meeting was hold at Moharry Grove 011 Thursday. Thero was an attendance of o.OOO poojilo. Judge Harnoy, of this city deliver od the address.

Wintermute had

had a decided aversion, tiled aflidavit as }o her insanity, and. at a hearing, held byJuige Taylor that afternoon, she was adjudged insane. Hughes was appointed guardian. Tho day following her brother Benjamin employed attorneys and bi'L'an suit to have the proceedings set aside. Ho alleged that she had had no defense at the hearing, and tli it just previous to her appearance before tho judge, Hughes had had a private in. terview with her, in which he had succeeded in getting her excited and hysterical. Tho court overruled the 1110. tion, and a few days later habeas corpus proceedings wore instituted to secure the woman's release from tho hospital, lhe basis for the action was tho alloga tion that judgment had never been entered on tho finding and had, consequently, never been signed by tho udgo. lhis suit tho Court also decided in favor of the defense, and a similar suit in tho Superior Court met with like fate, Judge Henry ruling that his court was a court of concurrent jurisdiction and that he was not able to attaca a decision made by Judge Taylor. Prom this ruling the plaintiffs havo taken an ^ipeal, and tho transcript was filed yesterday in the Supremo Court. An effort will be made to havo it advanced on tho calendar.

Miss Wintermute is the owner of property valued at about S15.000, and her brother doeB not hesitate to say that llugbes'3 motives in having himself appointed guardian is in order to secure control of this property. Hughes, 011 the otter hand, alleges that since he took charge of affairs, ho has discovered that Miss Wintermuto holds a note against her brother for BoOO, which is not secured, and that it is his insistence that the proper surety bo given which has caused the brother's antipathy.

A DASTARDLY DEED-

The Throats of Two Valuable Horses"

They are Quartered is Burned

an Effort to Conceal the Crime.

Henry Tomlinson, living some seven miles north of town, discovered about 10 clock on Monday night that his barn was on fire. Rushing out at onco he quickly opened a door loading to tho part where the horses aro confined, and by hard work rescued throe of them from being destroyed by lire, although badly burned himself about the head and baek while seeking to save hia property.

Thero w«ro two other' horses in tho building belonging to George Goben, which:.,, his haste Mr. Tomlinson obferved were both laying down, and aptrendy lifeless. Ono of them was irneci to ashes, tho other, after tho

l)1,,u

nt tion

only partially consumed,

bit with lis throat cut and blood from the wound in esitdl pools around its bead and neck. Tho motive of tho scoundrel engaged in tho work was to conceal the crime by firing the building. Besides tho loss of tho building, several hundred bushels of wheat, corn and oats wore destroyed in tho conflagration. lhe total loss to ivlr. Tomlinson is about 81,500. Tho horses of Mr. Goben wero insured for 8250 oach in the Livestock Insurance Co. of this city. Efforts havo been put forth to ascertain tho perpetrator of this cowardly and sneaking act, but with slim hopes of success thus far. Mr. T. was so severely burned by the Tiro falling upon him as to compel his remaining indoors most of ihe time sineo then.
