Spoiled by Cruel Officers.

For several days past the sporting fraternity have been on the qui vive in anticipation of a prize tight, which was to have been pulled off last night in one of Martin's ice houses. The principals in the affair wire, we are informed, Chat--. Doyle and Asa Davis, and each had been in active preparation for the affair for seven.l weeks. The tip had been quietly passed among the known admirers of Mie "manly art," but this same tip al*-o reached the ears of Sheriff Canine and Marshal Grimes, who waited on the princials about an hour before the time set for the tight, and the whole thing was declared off for the present. It is said another effort will be made to bring these "pugs" to gether within the next few days, but that the contest will place in one of the adjoining counties.

For Stealing Wheat.

Bort Lewallen is a half-witted individual who hails from the clasbic precincts of Balhinch. Along last fair time it is alleged Bert, accompanied by a friend named Dawson, drove down to the farm of James Tate, near Alamo, and purloined a bushel and a half of wheat from the Tate grainery. The wheat was disposed of to Crabbs A. Reynolds, and the cash, no doubt, landed in the coffers of the female snake charmer tft the fair eround. Farmer Tato at once suspicioned Lewalien and in a few weeks secured suffici«nt evidence to put the matter before the grand jury. As a rosult the gay and festive Bert was arrested this week Miv1 is now eating humble pie with Sheriff Canine.

ncCardle for Congress. The candidacy of John W. McCardle, of Montgomery county, for the nomination for Congress is being encouraged by Democrats all over the Ninth district.

Gloriously Acquitted.

The trial of R. B. Smith, colored, charged with having assaulted Mrs. Pat McManis, occupied the attention of the court Monday afternoon. The court room was packed witn a curious crowd who eagerly gulped down the luscious testimony, all of which tended to show that Mrs. McManis was in the habit of getting gloriously drunk and that Smith had long served in the capacity of her boss "growler rusher." The jury was out but a short and brought in a verdict of acquittal. ..v.

ed Shanks Murder.

Suit has been brought in the Fountain Circuit Court by Maggie Kellar against George V. Thomas and others for damages, growing out ol her arrest an imprisonment for alleged complicity in the murder of Clara Shanks, on which charge she, together with her brother Frank, were acquitted at Terre hautu on the 14th of February, 1896. The alleged crime was committed July 6, 18115. The trial was one of the most celebrated ever had in western Indiana. Sheriff Hanger has received summons for seven prominent Parke county citizens, living in the vicinity of the crime, who are named with Thomas as defendants. Thomas lives in Fountain county, and he was prominent in pushing the case against the Kellars. The 6uit has been threatened for some time. It will attractjwide attention, and will likely cause further trouble since the feeling is very bitter in the neighborhood,—

A BRILLIANT SKETCH BY SOUSA.

One of the most fantastic and captivating things John Phillip Sousa has yet presented in his concerts is a brand new arrangement of hie own, "Over the Footlights in New York," a brilliant conceit most happily wrought. It is unique, one of the most original and characteristic conceptions Sousa has given to the public for along time, from the fact that the composer presents a choice melange of the music in vogue in remarkably prolific period in New York, which tilled the chief halls and theatres. Sousa in this bright work has ladelled out the cream of the entire field from grand opera to vaudeville, in his best humor and inimitable style.

He originated the idea, made his own excerpts and strung them in a pot pourri that ecintilates like a necklace of diamonds.

The sketch is on the programme for the Sousa concert here at Music Hall on Feb. 3 at 2 p. m.

v„„

The soloists of the concert are MisB Maud Reese Davies, soprano, and Miss Jennie Hoyle, violinist.

The Lane Murder Case.

The trial of Robert Lane for the murder of Thomas Good, is docketed for trial this week in the Clinton county circuit court. Lane has a brother and other relatives in this city. The crime for which Lane is charged was committed last November in Jackson township, Clinton county. Lane and Good were neighbors, and quarreled in acorn field. During the quarrel Lane lired three shots, two of them taking effect, producing death. Lane's wife was the only person who witnessed the shooting outside of the principals, and she will be the main witness in tne case. Lane aFserts that the killing was done in self defense, while the State will undertake to prove that the murder was premeditated. Good made a death bed statement to the effect that Lane shot him after he (Good) had grappled with him for the purpose of disarming him.

GOLD BRICK VICTIflS.

Two Old Farmer.® nre Said to] Have

Been Taken In.

Two farmers, Wilson Hunt and Samuei Petro, living four miles north-west of Darlington, are reported to be the (•ounty victims to the old and time-worn gold brick swindle. It was said tohave been worked by a sharper who appeared in the neighborhood of where these two men reside, who told a harrowing stOry of how he and his partner had been robbed of their earnings while mining in ^Colorado, but had saved from the wreck a solid gold brick worth $ ,000. A confederate of the man remained at Terre Hnute. They wanted money bad and would make a great sacrifice by selling it to Hunt acd Petro for 83,000. All repaired to Terre Ilaute to complete the trade. After testing the brick which was covered with a thin coat of gold, the rest being brass, and considerable dickering, the two sharpers agreed to take SI,600 and the deal was closed. The two farmers returned home richer inexperience but

Sl,b00 less in cash, while the smooth "miners from Colorado" are probably hundreds of miles away enjoying the fruits from the sale of the brick. The "gold brick" scheme has been played on farmers through the west for twenty years past, some of them paying as high as §7,000 for it. Hunt and Petro were let down much easier than most of the purchasers.

It might be well to state that this, gold brick swindle occurred Bome years ago, and that the identical brick that did the work so thoroughly for these two farmers is now, and has been for years, laying on a table in the law office of Crane & A nderson.

More Hid land Trouble. A special from Lebanon says: ''The Btriking Chicago & Southeastern shop men late to-night side tracked the west bound express train, No. 3. They ran the train in on the "Y," detached the engine, and ran it into tho shops and "killed" it. Engineer James JODCS made no resistance when the engine was boarded, and the trainmen quietly submitted. The train had a large number of passengers, and the strikers offered to pay their expenses until they could get an opportunity to resui«e": their journey. Several accepted tW offer. The entire road is practically tied up and at the mercy of the strikers. There was a freight wreck on the west enu to-day, seven cars being derailed and the engine crippled. This leaves ouly two engines with which to do the work of the entire road. Tho road is eight months behind in its pay. Hence the strike. Tne sympathy of the people is with the men.

For the 4th of July.

It is now settled definitely that the Odd Fellows of Montgomery will have charge of the Fourth of July celebration in this city. Jos. McDaniel this week received the intelligence from the different lodges in Indianapolis that they all had decided to come hereon that date1 for a big time. This means that from 3,000 to 5,000 will come from Indianapolis alone and this augmented by lodges from this anil surrounding counties will certainly bring 10,000 people to Crawfordeville that day. The local lodge will endeavor to make it the grandest celebration ever held in this city.
