ROBERT H. BUTLER

Was the Name of the Man Killed On the Clover Leaf. Through a newspaper wrapper found on the body of the man killed northeast of Kirkpatrick on the Clover Leaf railway last week, he was ultimately identified as the son of a farmer residing near Arcadia, Hamilton county, who came over soon after, had the remains placed in a casket and sent home for interment. The father was much grieved over the fate of hie son. Jtte said he was 18 years of age, never drank liquor and had always been an obedient son. He eaid the son left home Wednesday saying nothing about which way he was going or how long he would be absent. He thinks he was somewhat deranged, had walked all day Thursday and Thursday night until becoming very tired, had Iain down by the track, fallen asleep, and was in a dazed condition when struck by the engine.

Henry Carson Campbell. Henry Carson Campbell died at Alamo Tuesday of old age and the effects of a severe fall. He had been a cripple for years occasioned by a dislocated hip* A few weeks ago he fell on the floor and dislocated his collar bone and wrenched his injured hip, and this together with his age, resulted in death.

He began his married life at Alamo when the town was platted, and his oldest son was the first child born in the town. He was a cooper by trade and at one time owned considerable land and also about half the real estate in Alamo, lie kept hotel for several years and then moved to Cincinnati and was there during the war, returning to Alamo after a few years' stay. At the time the cooper trade was flourishing there was no railroad in the county and his ware was hauled in wagons to Lafayette,

Mr. Campbell was of Scotch descent and was a first cousin to the scout, Kit CarBon. and a third cousin to Alexander Campbell, the Christian reformer. His father came to America in 1800 and lived near Cincinnati until his death, at which tim he had in his poBession a systematically recorded geneologv of his lineage since 1600.

Work is rapidly progressing on the new Montgomery county cottage at thfc soldiers' home at Lafayette. Montgomery's first structure was too small and wholly inadequate. 's

All wooden platforms at Monon sta-* tions have been removed, and pavements composed of fine crushed stone put in. The latter will pack solidly, and be quite as good as concrete.

BAD BOOTS.

Sees the Oates of the Penitentiary Yawning to Receive Him Sunday morning Willard Boots and Willard Raber arrived in town afoot by the Monon from the north, the former carrying the front wheel of a bicycle. Both live north-east of Darlington, and are cousins. Boots, it seems had stolen the bicycle two weeks before from a young man named Dunbar, living five miles north-east of Darlington. He had punctured the wheel and also wanted a chain for it. Circumstances clearly indicated he had stolen the wheel and after fooliDg around most of the day in company with the marshal, who bed been put onto the job of "pumping" him by the Mahorneys who were satisfied he had stolen the wheel, he finally acknowledged the theft of it and said the remaining part of the wheel could be found in a corn field, two miles north of town. Accompanyimg the marshal to the place it was found, and the wheel turned over to its owner, Dunbar. Dunbar had purchased it of th* Mahorneys some weeks ago. Raber had had no hand in the business and only sought to shield his cousin, as far as possible from danger. He was set free and hurried home as soon as possible. With Boots the case is different. He acknowledged the crime and the punishment will follow. He failed to give the 8500 bond to secure his liberty until trial and was returned to jail. His chances for the penitentiary are certainly brilliant. He is a nephew of James Boots of this city, who has no sympathy for him in his present trouble, as he has heretofore on other occasions exhibited a spirit of lawlessness.

Among the hundred or more excursionists from this city on Tuesday to Michigan Citv were two ex-convicts who had "done time" from this county at the Northern penitentiary inthit place. One of them was heard to remark that he just wanted to "see how the old thing (the prison) looked" and how the boys were getting along.

No Contracts Secured.

Gravel road builders from this city have been unable to secure any contracts this year for their services in any part of the State, finding in most cases the ostimates too low or the work taken at such rates as would prevent them from making any money for the time spent.
