NEGLIGENCE OF ATTORNEYS

Causes the Case of Ed Holloway

Against the Big Four Road to Be

Dismissed.

Mnnitgcr,

For three years Ed Holloway has had his case against the Big Four road on the docket for trial. He was arrested, it will be remembered, for alleged complicity in tho Fontanet wreck, but his innocence was fully proven and the guilty parties subsequently punished, lie sued the company for the amount and imprisonment demanding 825,000 damages. The case has been set for trial two or three

timeB

General Store Burned.

The general store of H. Laymon, at Whitesville was burned on Friday night and completely destroyed together with an assortment of dry goods and groceries. The loss is near S3,000 with 81,100 insurance. The tire was the work of tramps, who during the ex citement robbed two or three houses of the village. Blood hounds were put on the trail of the thieves but with the usual result, that it amounted to nothing. The residence of the postmaster was robbed of some money and postage stamps.^

Clodfelter Line's Assets. The appraisers appointed in the receivership of the Clodfelter inter-urban railway have not finished their work, but they have thus far found that over 825,000 has been expended. Besides the grading they have found the following property valued at 829,000: Sixty-five thousand pine tieB and 2,000 poles, against which there are no claims or liens of any kind one and one-half miles of good track and a small amount ot iron, a power house building at Fairmount and one at Alexandria.

Rumored Arrests.

In connection with the fire and robbing at Whitesville a few eveningssince, rumors have been floating around in the locality in which the names of some poi-sons are used as probably guilty of the work. A detective or two has been mousing around to learn particulars, and talks of arrests were indulged in. Nothing has as vet, however, been done fixing the crime on any one.

Still on Hand.

Since the church trial at Brown's Valley last week which resulted in the expulsion of Rev. Prattler from the church for alleged immoral practices that gentleman has remained there. He claims an indebtedness from the two churches where he has been holding forth, and proposes that they pay him before he leaves.

Bound Over.

Wm. Murdock, of Coal Creek township, who is strongly suspicioned of robbing a man from Lafayette with whom he was rooming last week, has waived an examination and bound over for his appearance at court. The sum stolen was $47, and it was found hidden under the carpet of a room in which they had slept.

Morris Francis, Franklin township has been appointed administrator of the estate ot Win. Francis, deceased.

Hecortlprs Offlr*

heretofore, but

finally was docketed for trial in the Putnam Circuit Court this week. Holloway had an attorney at lerre Hau e, one at Greencastle, and White & Reeves and T. L. Stilwell, of this place. The case was called, but Ilolloway's attorneys, or some of them at least, had failed to give it the proper attention and it was dismissed. The general opinion seems to be that Holloway haB been meanly treated by some persons in the case. He had it is said, a good case against the company and would have won if the proper parties had been selected to manage it for him.

Time Extended.

For over two months the experts, Fosdyke and LaRue, having been examining the duplicates and records of the treasurer's office connected with the terms of ex-Treasurer Hutton. They receive S15 per day for the work. It was supposed at first that their work would be completed in at least four weeks, but this was an error. This week they reported to the commission, ers that on account of their being unable to secure certain papers and documents they would ask for an extension of time for the completion of their wot I?, until the 27th. This was granted. What will it all amount to is the question many tax payers are asking? And is it not the beginning of a law suit which may continue for years? The county must foot this bill of the exports which probably will amount to 81,000 or more. Hutton, if declared by the experts to be in debt to the county, will, of course, aim to prove tic contrary. The whole business appears to many to be a farce, and an expensive one, too, and if the county comes out ahead at the termination of the case the public will be surprised to learn it.

LETTER FROn CALIFORNIA

And the City of Los Angeles in Par­

ticular.

Los ANGELES, CAL., Sept. 4th

ED. REVIEW:— As I am working in a fruit 6tore, and at night at that, with plenty of time to spare, I thought I would write you a few lines perhaps that will be of interest to you.

The week just past has been the warmest experiences here for 20 years, so the old inhabitants say. To say it was warm is expressing it mildly, it was 112 in the shade for 5 days in succession.

Well 1 would like to sedd you a dozen lemons that I have here which we are selling for 15 cents a dozen, and you can pick out any one of them and they will run about 1% poundB each. In size they are nearly the size of an ostrich egg. You probably have seen them.

I had the pleasure a short time ago of seeing a 6-weeks old ostrich. They would remind you of a chicken covered with pin feathers. They were about the size of a large gcose in tho body, but had long lege, say about 12 to 14 inches, sort of a brown and gray color mixed.

I don't think I have said anything to you in any of my letters about the city of Los Angeles. The city proper has about 103,000 inhabitants is situated about 18 miles from the coast on the Los Angeles river. To use the word river 1 do not wish to misrepresent this river and will state here that at the present time it is smaller than your own Sugar Creek. Though in tho wintor time it is a raging torrent.

The city iB well built, mostly of brick buildings. Though there is not a building over five stories in height there are plenty of hills, some of them as high as 250 feet. The street car syrftem is one of the best I have ever seen, and is looked upon with pride by her citizens. The tracks are all narrow gau»e which do not take up so much space as a standard does. The cars are mostly double truck, I mean a pair of trucks under each end of the cars which are moBtly forty feet long and are of the combine closed and open car that is the center ot the car between the trv cks is as a closed car, while the ends ever each pair of trucks are open cars, thus affording the patrons the choice of riding inside or out, as they may choose.

The lighting is good excepting the hours ot lighting, and on somo occasions the city is left in darkness. The lights are on hi^h staffs about 150 feet from the ground. Some, though, are on lines jn the middle of the street, and the way they are fixed so that the men can trim the lamps, is quite an idea in compari son with cities of the east. There is a wire strung from one pole to another on the opposite corner, the lamp is fas tened or suspended in the center of the street, and at the top of one pole is a small platform en which the trimmer stands and a continuous line on a pulley runs from the lamp to the pole. He pulls on the line and the lamp comes to him, and then on the other and the lamp is back to its place thus, you see doing away with that unsightly rope hanging along the poles as you have in Crawfordsville and other cities.

Every business in Los Angeles, or branch of business, iB for all the money they can get from any and every one.

I wish to speak in particular about the telephone. You can not use 'phone here unless you pay five cents The way the 'phone ia operated is this You call up central by putting the phone to your ear (there no crank to ring a bell) and ask for the number you want, and the telephone girl says— "Nickel, please." There is a small box attached to the instrument with a slot in which you drop the nickel, and you presss the button,and there you have it Quite a scheme, don't you think?

Of all the cities I have ever been in this is the worst when it comes to the streot pavements. The three main street here, Main, Spring and Broadway are something awful, deep holes along these and other streets.

Salvation Army.

A few members of the Salvation Army at Lafayette began holding Btreet meetings here this week. The work of the Salvationists in this place heretofore has not been attended with encouraging results, tind that it will be hereafter is questionable.

Don't Like Individual Cups. The members of the Methodist church here and at other places, instead of following the old style of all drinking out of the same cup during the sacrament of the Lord's supper, provide themselves each with a cup of his or her own. Bishop Waldon at the late con ference at Lebanon regarding this said: "The idea of lellowship has been in the Christian's mind from the beginning. There is no fellowship like that among the Methodist ministers when we take the bread and drink of the cup, and I pray God it will not be the individual cup. The idea! What nonsense that after we have been drinking from the same cup and gourd for all these years that individual cups must now be used for the preservation of our health. To destroy the common cup destroys a good deal of our fellowship. It is surprising how uiany things the devil will bring up to accomplish his ends."

It is not at all probable that the members here will go back to the old system spite of the Bishop's opinion—an opinion only—but will follow the present system.

At Montgomery, Alabama. Mr. Fred Huggios,

known in

this city, but who for a year has been engaged in railroading in Arkansas, removes in a lew weeks to Montgomery, Alabama, to make that city hie future resiu'ince. He will take the position of chief engineer of two lihes of railway running out of that city.
