Horse and Buggy Stolen. Wednesday night some thief invaded the premises of Bruce West., two miles north-east 01 town, and going to the stable stole from it a horse which he at once hitched up to a buggy from a shpd nearby, and departed. The loss was discovered early next morning and the detectivecompanies in the east part of the county notified. They have not yet succeeded in obtaining either property or thief. He is supposed to have gone in a north eastern course toward Indianapolis, but nothing reliable has been heard regarding him. The property taken is of the value of near $200.

ON A BOOM!

v.: -. V'.:

LINDEN IS REALIZING A BIG

STREAK OF PROSPERITY—THE

CELLULOSE FACTORY TO ERECT ITS BUILDINGS AT ONCE—THE

GROUND DONATED FOR ITS USE.

.SURROUNDING TOWNS MAY WELL

ENVY OUR NORTHERN NEIGHBOR-

9100,000 TO BE INVESTED IN BUILD­

INGS—LOT8 AND PROPERTY AltE

RAISED IN VALUATION.

(Special Cor. of The Review.)

In 1830 C. W. White settled near .Linden with his parents. Forty years ago Mr. White drove cattle from this vicinity to Lafayette when the woods, hedges and brush was so thick that the cattle would become lost on what are now the principle streets of Linden. Another early settler of the county whose home now is Linden was "Uncle" Simpson Montgomery, who came to Crawfordsville in 1826, and whose mother's remains are now at rest in the old town cemetery of Crawfordsville. Mr. Montgomery is a soldier of the late war, having served three years in defense of his country and is now drawing a pension of $24 monthly and owns two buildings creditable to the town of Linden. Other old settlers are yet to be found here including, Isaac H. Montgomery, J. S. Bennett and others.

MURDERER GEITAU.

Who assassinated jPres. J. A. Garfield was a guest of Linden's first hotel, owned by Simpson Montgomery. Geitau remained here one week after which the next that was heard from him, he was doomed to death in Washington, D. C. Montgomery's hotel was the first lodging house in Linden, being established soon after the year 1866. The same today is the "Hotel Linden" owned and managed by John Vyse, a new and convenient location.

LINDEN TO-DAY.

Linden is on the boom. No one can dispute it. On last Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock a committee of representative citizens consisting of J. H. White, Thos. Wilkins, J. P. Kelsey, Frank Dunkle and Van H. Miller met with Aeeistcnt Superintendent H. H. Mitchel of the Marsden Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., and offered them a tract of 60 acres of ground north of the Clover Leaf tracks known a the Stoddard land free in consideration of securing the cellulose factory. The company through Mr.Mitchel accepted the proposition ana agreed to begin the erection of their buildings immediately, the buildings to coat between 840,000 and $100,000. On Wednesday morning before 9 o'clock two of the Durham lots were Bold to Wm. Dunkle and bank building will be erected on the same.

NEW INDUSTRIES.

Linden will have many new industries in addition to the corn stock factory, and already property is advancing in value.

The New Richmond Enterprise will locate here. One month ago Doctor L. P. Engleman hung out his shingle in the town and is meeting with much success.

C. A. Taylor of the barber shop has ordered an extra chair aud new fixtures. A. A. SimmonB the baker, is enlarging his facilities for trade.

Clarence Fink now sole owner of one of Linden's drug stores reports that during his six months residence here business was uoexpectedly increased during the latter half of lastmoath.

A. Layton & Son, the senior druggists of the town also claim noticable gains and boast of the coming prosperity.

Eight monthB ago Mr. Williard Stockton started a loom factory in Linden. The enterprise though new and doubtful at the beginning has terminated into a permanent institution. Mr. Stockton's specialties are woven carpets for sale or made to order, grass shore blinds for hunting wild ducks and geese, etc. The factory is located on the corner of Main & Watsr streets and opposite Baum & White's elevator. Linden appreciates an institution of this character and the boom promises it an increased prosperity.

One week ago today Mr. G. W. Knaur came here from Otterbein, lnd., and opened a harness shop. Mr. Knaur knew of Linden's promised boom and came to this town influenced by the prospects. He is located 2d door north of the post office.

The liveryman, blacksmiths, grocers and all others are wide awake to Linden's Lew industry which means thousands of dollars into the town and county. Linden is undoubtedly on a big boom and her neighbors cannot help but 1 ratify over her good fortune.

NOTES.

No one doubts a big boom.'. Linden is by no means dead. S. G. Wray & Co., are new pbotoigrath" era.

Patent-right men are already arriving on the grounds in anticipation of a few Bales of counties and townships.

John Vyse will add new sleeping cotripartments to the Hotel Lirdeo. His hotel is now undergoing repapering.

There are those who think the new industry will be a distillery and not a celluliae factory. Such however in wrong.

EPH ZACKERY,

Found That He Laughs Best Who Laughs Last.

borne weekf-. ago Eph Zaclclry, a resident of the etirring village of Smartsburg, came to Joseph Binford'e lumber yard and ordered a good sized bill of lumber, and by representing himself as a free holder Becured it without difficulty. He owned nothing however, in the way of land, not enough to provide a place for the interment of a mule. In hiB efforts to collect his claim Mr. Binford received from Zackery, as the boys say, "the horse laugh." The matter was duly reported to the prosecutor, Zaekery was indicted for obtaining goods under falso pretense and arrested. It's Binford'a turn to laugh now( and he laughs best who laughs last, is in this case fully illustrated.

BAD BOOTS.

Newton Receives a Fine of $25 for

His Conduct.

Some weeks since Newton Boots- of Franklin township, was arrested on a charge of attempted rape On the person of Pearl Goble, a young lady with whom he had been keeping company. He was placed under bond to await the action of the grand jury. He, however, WBB only indicted for assault and battery. He was taken before the court on a bench warrant this week. He was fined $25, which with the costs attached will require a (rood many days of farm work to liquidate. He can be thankful that he did not get a term in the Jeffersonville prison.

BURNED DOWN.

The Old John Lewellen Homestead

N

Destroyed.

Sunday moriiing the old home of John Lewallen, a former noted old farmer of Ripley township, some eight miles south-west of Crawfordsville, caught fire and was entirely consumed. The house was occupied by Alonzo Stingley who had lived in it something over a year, moving there from near Kirkpatrick. He lost all his household goods not saving even any of the wearing apparel of the family. There was no insurance and the loss is complete.

Death of Otto Zeigler.

Mr. Otto Zeigler, the well known restaurant proprietor, died quite suddenly at Martinsville on Monday eveniog last. The deceased had been declining in health for some months past, and was induced to visit the resort at Martinsville to bathe and partake of the waters at that place in hopes of a cure. He had been there but four or five days when the dread messenger came.

Mr. Zeigler had been a reBident of the city some six years, coming here from Shelbyville. and in connection with Charles Reiman opening up a restaurant on east Main street. Some months ago he purchased Mr. Reiman's interest and has continued as proprietor since then. He was in the 39th year of his age. The remains were taken to Shelbyville for interment.

Arrested.

Attorney T. E. Ballard, of this city, and Circie Peffley, of Clark township, were arrested this week in indictments charging them with desecrating a grave yard in the south part of the county. Both gave bail. To the outsider it would teem that there is some spite work about the affair. The defendants cleaned up the cemdtery of underbrush, tilled up several sunken graves, and improved the appearance of the surroundings. The fence, if we are correctly informed, was given Peffley for his services in the premises, Ballard asking nothing for what he did, but in spite of this was indicted.

Salvation Army.

Meetings of the Salvation Army are held now regularly every night, the building north-east corner of Green and Market streets having been cleaned up and the inside of the rooms whitewashed for the purpose. The army as yet has not made any noticeable inroads into the strongholds of Satan, but by mid-wioter hope to report many victories.

57TH YEAR.- NO 9.

STATE MEETING.

Horse Thief Detectives Have an Annual Meeting This Week.

Montgomery county, we believe, has the distinction of being the birth place of the order of the Horse Thief Detective Association, and the lato well known and esteemed James Gray, who resided for many years in Wayne township, had the honor of first formulating the plans and putting in operation the work of the order. This was over 40 years ago. It has grown from year to year until now there are over 200 companies located in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and other western States. This week the national association of horse thief detectives meet at Madison, Indiana, in convjntion. Gov. Mount is president of thejassociation.

Under the rules of the central organization, the captain of each company, upon receiving information of stolen property from other companies, shall give the information to his constables and other members of his company, as far as practicable, and shall, upon appli* cation from any company (under £eal), make search and arrest at the expense of the company complaining. Under this] system the companies scattered overtte three States are in constant communication, and it is almost impossible, it is said, for a thief to escape if these farn'er detectives once get after him.

Every member of a company is provided with the commission of a detective fromjthe auditor of his county and has, under the law, about the same authority as a constable regularly attached to the office of a justice of the peace.

BADLY HYPNOTISED

Was Otto Wiilman, for it Put Him in Possession of Some nan's Property.

Otto Wiilman is an instance of the danger of being hypnotised, as it iB liable in some instances to get a man into trouble, as it probably will bim in the case noted below. He drove into town Monday in an old style phaeton, and the trouble was neither horse nor vehicle were his, and neither had he hired or borrowed them. He was simply asked he said the day previous, while on the streets of Indianapolis by a gentleman to get into the phaeton and take a ride. When Otto recovered from the 'spell" Le Bays he found himself at Danville, the stranger gone, and he sitting up in the vehicle which he afterwards drove to this city. Wiilman, it is remembered, is an ex-convict, having been sent over the road two or three years ago for robbing a house near Linden. He may be hypnotised into going back into his old quarters at the penitentiary before the Court is through with him.

Maimer Cox's Brownies. This big production With a regiment of people, car loads of scenery, ward robes, mechanical and electrical effects will give one of their big entertainments at Music Hall Saturday night, October 16. There are a great many who live out in the country wanted us to let them know when they were here. So here you are. One of the largest

Bhows

that travels. Mr. Palmer Cox

will be with the big show and will make drawings of funny characters and tell the audience all about them. The flying ballet that the Brownies give with mechanical and electrical effects with ladieB flying through the air, is one of the finest and most beautiful sights on the American Btage. This is the Palmer Cox Brownies, and the only one traveling, and is a guaranteed show.

Disagreed.

The jury in the case of Dr. Stout at Rockville for alleged complicity in the McClamrock abortion case disagreed, nine favoring acquittal and three for conviction. It is thought by many that this is the last of it.
