A Chicago attorney some time since created an agreeable consternation arnoog a number of the Davie, Guthrie and Wray people of this vicinity, and one alao at Brazil and another at Hillsboro by informing them that They were direct heirs of one Thomas JameB, of Philadelphia, who died in Philadelphia in 1832, leaving an estate now estimated to be worth from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000, and which consists of several hundreds of acres of land, all within the corporate limits of Philadelphia. Sheriff Davis is one of the interested parties, and will, in consequence, probably abandon his race for U. 3. marbhal and perfect arrangements for opening a bank—a bank.
Verdict in I^ebunon Shooting. The finding of the coroner in the shooting of George WooJs by Officer Frost receutly at Lebanon was in substance, that Woods came to his death by a pistol shot wound, inflicted Nov. 23,189G, from a thirty-eight caliber revolver in the hand of George Frost, and that this wound wus inflicted by Frost while engaged in the discharge of his duties, and that he inflicted the wound in self defense, and was justified in so doing.

BUCK STANLEY,
The Temperance Lecturer.—The Man
That Captured the Green
Brothers-
Buck Stanley, the noted temperance lecturer, spoke on his favorite theme at at the Court House on Monday evening. Stanley is earnest and determined in his work, and has done a vast deal of good for the cause of temperance throughout Uim .vest during the past four years. Stanley's home iB at Ligansport, and it
waB
while acting as a dep
uty sheriff of Cass county some eight years ago that he acquired quite a rep utation by the capture of Amor and B.ll Green, away down in south-west Texas, where they had tied after each had committed a murder in Carroll county. the first one murdered Luella Mabbett, a country girl, and Bill Green killed a man at a pic-nic southoast of Logensport. Amer Green was hung by a mob near Flora, Carroll county, after being taken from the jail at Delphi, while his brother is now serving a life ecntenco in the northern prison. Stanley's part in catching the men was dangerous and ingenious, and ranks with the best work of the Pinkertons.

Professor IT, a. Kingery, of the department of Latin at Wabash College, has had printed here in a neat brochure of ninety pages, an edition of one of Seneca's tragedies, the "Medea," which is a credit to Ills scholarship and industry. He has entered an unoccupied held, being the first, so far as he has been able to learn, to publish a tragedy of Seneca with English annotation. The book includes an introduction, the text of the play and explanatory notes. The introduction is a scholarly pioce of work and admirably berves its purpose of supplying what is needed for the intelligent and apprtciative read'ng of the tragedy.—Indianapolis Journal.
A I'uthctic Pierurc. The Elkhart Review says. "A most pathetic scene was witnessed on Middlebury street yesterday morning. A little girl who is critically ill from diphtheria expressed a desire to hear her Sunday school class sing the songs they had learned together, and in accordance with her wish, the children were assembled by the teacher in the street, and there they sang tho familiar songs, while the harmony, though muflled by tho closed windows, reached and sooththo little patient aB she lay on a couch near the window. It was a 6cene to melt a heart of stone."

MURDERED BY ROBBERS.
Fate of a Prominent Putnam Resi-:: dent on Street of Roeisville. William Counts, one of the most prominent citizens or Putnam county, a druggist, was murdered Wednesday on the street near his place of business in Reelsville.
Counts and a young man named'Black, his clerk, hmJ just closed the store and Counts was on the sidewalk,, when two men approached him one tall and darn complected, the other short and stout, and pushing revolvers in Counted face demanded his money. Counts, instead of acceding to their command struck one man in the face* A fight followed in 'vhich Counts wasshotjiu the stomach. The robbers took what money they could find on the person of the wounded man and the frightened clerk and made their escape, going west. Counts lingered in an unconscious condition for several hours, dying about midnight. He leaves a widow and one child.
Mount ('nils on Matthews.
Governor-electJ. A. Mount called oh' Governor Matthews to-day. It was a social call, and the duties of the office which Mr. Mount will shortly take up were not discussed. The Governorelect spent moBt of the forenoon at the Capitol. He is getting some data to be used in his inaugural address It ie impossible for him to escape the men who want places. At every turn ho was met by persons, who either wanted something themselves or had friends who 'must be looked after." Mr. Mount said ho would not announce any additional appointments for some time. He will probably appoint the executiveclerk and messenger for his office before he to inaugurated the Adjutant-Gener-al and custodian of the State Capitol and grounds will not be choeen for some time. Charles E. Wilson, the new private secretary, will take service with Mr. Mount in a few days.—Indianapols News.
IiniioiimHiitf oT Cnttlc. Cattle or stock of any kind in charge of a herder can graze at will on the public highways in the state of Indiana. This is the substance of a decision by the appelate court of Indiana.
The Hamilton county circuit judge held that cattle found grazing on tho public highway could be impounded, but bis decision was reversed.
Judgo Reinhard in bi3 opinion states: "It tnsy seem difficult to understand why the supervisor should not have as much authority for impounding stock which is being pastured in the public highways as a private citizen has to take up animals found pasturing upon the public commons. But it does not appear that the legislature has conferred such power upon road supervisors or other persons, and it is not our province to read such authority into the statute, The remedy must be sought in appropriate legislation."
A lignrcltc In\v. Mayor Bandel has received a copy of a cigarette ordinance passed by a neighboring city and will present the same for the consideration of our city ••vjiicil. At Shelbyville a license of 8500 a year is imposed on all who sell the "coffin nails" and any person caught smoking one on the street is subject to a line of oo.OO. A law of this character together with a curfew ordinance, for lads and lasses under 16 years of age would be a good thing for Crawfordsville.
lteportt-l Ili-ntinK. Vague rumors were flying around this week regarding the brutal treatment by a young farmer living northwest of town of his wife, ic which it was intimated that his rough conduct toward her resulted a short time afterwards in her death. It may simply be neighborhood gossip with no foundation for such report, yet if true or anywhere near truth, should be investigated by the proper authorities and prompt punishment meted out to the one guilty of such brutal actions.
Ed Uollowuy'N Crkc.
The case of Ed Hollo way of this city against the Big Four railway in which he demanded 625,000 damages for fals6 imprisonment was docketed for trial in the Putnuui county circuit court thiB week. Holloway was arrested falsely by dtitectives of the road ou charge ef lusing a disaster on the line two yeur3 «go by which an engine was wrecked and the engineer killed.
His Day In Court. John Coleman, one of the Coleman •"sinEr, arrested some time since for lift--•ug chickens from their roosts without permission ot the owners of them, had his "day in court" and the "day" was of this week in which he pled guilty to larceny and WSB sentenced to the prison on the lake for one year. -.
