CRAWFORDSVILLE REVIEW

CITY NOMINATIONS.

"MANY WERE CALLED BUT FEW

WERE CHOSEN.

The Nominees Are the Fellows That

Got There,

I

Monday night at Y. M. C. A. hall, the republican city nominations were made. A large crowd was on hand, and the friends of the different candidates were active in their behalf. The first nomination to be made was Mayor and for this office there were seven candidatep, viz: Elmore, Smith, Reid. Wertz, Stilwell, McMains and McCampbell. On first ballot Elmore received most of 101 votes and Smith second, the remaining five

not exhibiting much

strength. On the second ballot Elmore received over sixty votes and was declared the nominee. 1'or marshall, Grimes, Brothers, Bannister and Hiatt, were the candidates. The balloting was lively for this place, Grimes leading twice. Bannister and Hiatt withdrew their names at the beginning of the third palloticg, leaving Grimes and Brothers the only two candidates. On the third balloting Brothers received the majority of the votes and was nominated.

For clerk, Tracy and McClure were the candidates. To the surprise of almost everybody Tracy, who was supposed to have a lead pipe cinch on this place, was promptly turned down on the first ballot and McClure nominated.

There were four candidates for city treasurer, viz.: Todd Hills, Otto, Nicholson and McCalip. On the second balloting Hills was nominated for this office.

For councilmen the following persons were nominated: 1st ward—Morland Binford, 2nd ward—Harry Naylor. 3d ward—D. N. Morgan.

NOTES.

"The unexpected" happened in this convention, as it often does. It was expected that Smith would undoubtedly be nominated for mayor, and that nothing could beat Tracy for clerk, but the unexpected intervened and prevented this.

It was said that Reid was the "ring" candidate for Mayor. If so it would look like it had little strength or influence judged by the small amount of strength he developed in the race.

Where was Stilwell when the lights went out? However its all right. He will be a candidate in four years from now.

Elmore, if elected, will give weight to the office if nothing else, He weighs near 240 pounds,

Some of the candidates are sore ovfcf their defeat and threaten to even up. This is "all rabbit." They will whip them in by election day—they generdllv

do.

Win. Carr 'gat iefi" in his faCS for councilman. William' tan r&malu With the saw and hammer for sotoe timfe ydt

The labor organization did not fleetri to have much of a hand in dictating the nominations. Wert, Barnhaft, CBrr, Tracy, McCalip, etc., are all mechanics, and all laboring men were defeated.

Why Mace Townsley for councilman in the econd ward was defeated is puzzling many of his friends. He ia popular while the man defeating him is anything but that.

One good thing of the nominations, many of the old stereotypes hanging on to the city government will be thrown out and be forced to earn their living through private sources instead of off the tax payers.

For Arizona Territory.

W. W. lowing, the school teacher, left on Tuesday last for Ft. Apach, Arizona territory, at which place he will engage in the teaching of Indian children, his pay coding from the government. He receives a salary of $7S per month, and can retain the place if satisfactory all around as long as he desires. The distance is over 1.800 miles, and he is ninety miles from the nearest railwa station.

At NobJesville.

Milte 1?oley addressed the democracy of Hamilton county at Noblesville on Saturday. Mike woke theui up over there by his timely and able address, and his speech is well spok^r* those hearing it.

It strikes us that here is tho man who should bo nominated for Congress in this district.^.The democracy could and would unite on hity, and he would make an able canvass.

State ... l^abor Organizer. W. P. Da^f of .this city, has been organizing and addressing Jabor unions at Muncie and Middleton, this State, during the past week. Mr. Daggett is becoming quite prominent in labor circles, and will be called elsewhere.

OLD TinE SKETCH.

A Boxing Bout Attended With Fatal

Results.

The unusual number of prize fights boxing matches, sparring exhibitions, etc., that have taken place in many parts of the country during the past few years, and the increased popularity of the "sport," if such it may be termed, has revived some retniniscenceB among few old settlers, regarding a boxing match here some fifty years ago, and from the fatal results attending it, croated considerable excitement at the tima, and caused this style of recreation to go into rapid decline for many years afterwards.

It oscurred in the summer of 1848. At the time a lvagon repair and blacksmith shop stood on the south sid^ of east Main street about where tho Burke boarding house now stands. Two men, Abe Brecount and James Mattox, a brother-in-law of the late attorney, Samuel Wilson, were employed in the establishment or one of them may be, was the proprietor of it. One warm day between working hours they repaired to a room in the establishment to engage in a friendly contest at boxing in which they had frequently done before without anything of a startling nature occurring. After a few short rounds Brecount landed a blow on Mattox in the pit of the stomach, and he dropped to the floor. In falling his head struck what is termed a "cooper's horse,' a sort of low bench in which the workman in preparing hoops for barrels sits down upon it at one end with a knife and shaves the hoops by drawing the knife toward him. The blow was attended with fatal results. Mattox failed to arise, and going to him in a minute or two afterwards, the few persons present discovered that he was dead. Brecount was in great agony on discovering the result of what he had done, and for several days afterwards could hardly be restrained from making away with himself. It was clearly the result of an accident. The two men had time and again engaged in the sport, but never before had any harm arisen from it. Boxing thereafter became unpopular. It was considered too dangerous an amusement to engage in and to propose such a thing was in bad taste. No arrest was made. It was unneccessary, and the affair was forgotten after a few months. Brecount in a year or so afterwards removed from here to Terre Haute where he died several years ago. A son of his, we believe, resides in that oity at this time.

SLANDER SUIT.

To Be Begun By Daniel Barton, of

riadison Township, Resulting from

the Ethel Burnham Rape Case.

Some four weeks ago it will be remembered considerable excitement was created in the north part of the county over an alleged case of rape upon the person of Ethel Burnham, a fifteen-year-old girl, living west of Kirkpatrick. It was reported to be the work of a tramp, and a large crowd of men with blood hounds followed the railway for twenty miles west in hunt of him. He was never found. A fow days after this Daniel Barton, a farm hand living in the neighborhood of the ^alleged crime, was arrested at the instance of the friends of the girl and charged with the crime. He was brought to Jtown and a preliminary examination held before 'Squire Stilwell. The girllJTswore that Barton was her assailant. Barton on the other hand told an apparently truthful account of himself in the matter and denied any knowledge whatever of the afiair. His testimony seemed to have the most weight with the Justice and he was released. Barton now proposes to make it warm for those instigating his arrest, and has been gathering evidence preliminary to suit for slander and arrest. He) may make it quite sultry for those who have been making it so disagreeable to him.

The Truant Law.

G. H. Smith, the truant officer for the south part of the county, served notice on four men a few days ago at Waveland that they must send their children to school or subject themselves to a good hig fine. The schools have been more largely attended this past "year than before for a long time, all owing to the enforcement of the truant. law. The law seems generally to be working all right and in a few years there (will be a much more general defusion of knowledge than we now observe. The old and somewhat shameful sayings heard among some classes that "I can not read. I never learned to write," etc., will soon go out of existence if the law is rigidly enforced.

Golden Wedding Celebration. Mr. and, Mrs. Allen Rhinehart, of Perry township, Clinton county, recentty celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. They are still living on the farm where they have made their hQRie since their wedding night, and the same snow whitp (lamask table linen was us§d, And the samp napkins service at the wedding supper. The years since have tpeat§d tbe» lightly Mr, Rhinehart is remarkably active, and he danced an Irish jig on hie fiftieth wedding anniversary as pimbly as on the first. Many guests were present. At night Mr. and Mrs. Rhinehart were treated to an old-fashioned "belling" by their admiring neighbors.

Want Him Out.

The fair directors have been trying for some time to get Grant Weaver, who occupies the residence !G THE FAIR tfr6tlnd out of it so that they could put some one suiting them in possessidii of it. They began legal proceedings agaiast him. He headed them off by taking the proceedings before 'Squire Marks at Waynetown. He was successful there, and by the decision of the Waynetown justice can remain there three monthB longer. The directors, it is said, object to Weaver because he keeps too many dogs on the ground, and does not take the care of the propthat they would like to have.

A Sunday Fire. -s

Sunday afternoon an alarm from near the fair ground was turned in, and at tention was at once directed to the smoke arising from the stalls on the west side near the center of the ground. The department entered at the south gate and were soon at the scene of the fire. Straw was burning in the stalls, and blaze from it had fastened upon the boards and their timber near by. It was extinguished without damage. The fire is supposed to have been caused by some boys playing around there.

To the Reformatory.

Pearl Parish, the agent here last year of the Globe Tailoring Company, whose room was on west Main street, directly east of the Y. 1. C. A. building, has been sent to the southern prison for forgery. The punishment seems to be deserved, and this seems nrt to bo his first offense in crookedness, a brother of his having said that he had paid 8900 to keep him out of prison heretofore. He was sent from Fountain connty.

Pensions.

Mary E. Campbell, of Mace, has been granted a pension, of $8 per month, Geo. N. Stevens, of Crawfordsville, has had his pension increased from $17 to/ 130 and James I. Vannice, of Waveland,' from $10 to $16. 1

57TH YEAR.— NO si

HORNET'S NEST.

[East Madlsou Township.]

The wheat in this part of the township does not, I am sorry to say, present the most promising appearance. It may not have been frozen at the roots as bad as some anticipate, however, and in a month from now may look all right. Its prdsent appearance may giro croakers a chance to shoot off their mo.iths and some of them a charice to prolong the payment of their debtt.

A divorce suit from Kirkpatrick before the circuit court attracted some attention and talk heroabouts. The general verdict is that if Both interested parties would seek some other clime their would be few tears shed at their departure.

Kirkpatrick, although small in «iz», is some pumpkins at times. We are only two and a half miles west of Teeticalville on the Three Leaf Clover road and have a good country around. Ther have some country around Linden too, aside from what is not covered with corn stalks, but nothing to ours.

The schools of tho township are about ready to shut up shop until next y?e

lntended

giving a grand gala

exhibition at the close of our school,and havo J. S. Bennett give us a lecture on moral science, but was afraid his price would be too high, so the project was abandoned. Overtures were made to Ben Swank to lecture us on constitutional law, also to Bill Campbell, of Romney, on the science of mixing drinks, but both declined with thanks.

I observe from THE REVIEW that they are talking of starting a bank at Linden. They have had a faro bank there heretofore, but its capital was limited and only did business with a favored few. The newly talked of bank is to loan money to people if thoy furnish good securiety for its return with 8 per cent, interest. They will accommodate you, but you pay for the accommodation. I don't know who has any money about Linden. From the wry faces they put up most times I should judge that about $3,75 taken away from there would create a panic.

The general health in this locality it good, and the people complain but little except from thio never ceasing stream of prosperity which started with such a rapid flow at the beginning ot' McKinley's administration. 0,ran Stingley is selling township and county rights for a patent iron fence, and is making a success ot it.

They are going to make cellulose fit Linden. It is used in thp construction of ocean and lafce vessels, fjBd t^e town is beginning to put on ftirs over it. Some et the o|3 topers understood at urst it waft to be a Cellu-juice factory, and are much put out over the fact that it is not to bp ft distillery. They say it is a shame that they can com® that ne^r to corn and not use It. "4

This is enough now, and am semi'-' ble of the fact that a man should quit when he is done,

A short time ago certain railroad companies issued very stringent orders about employee visiting saloons. The brewing interests of the country served notice on them to recall the orders or they would not hip a keg of beer over their lines, and it would result in the loss of many hundreds of dollars in freight. The orders are said to hBTQ been canceled.
