Wants $2,000 Damages. Murt Becbncr. through his attorneys, C'lodfelter it Fine, has, in the Marion Circuit (.Yurt, brought suit against the .J. M. I. railroad for 82,000 damages. Some timo ago Beckner was traveling in the southern part of the State along the line of the above railroad company. One day he reached one of their stations too late to exchange his interchang.ihle mile as re1 aired. When the conductor came through he refused to accept the mileage and demanded a ticket or cash fare. Beckner refused to pay and at a small station called Amity he was put otV. There being mi hotel or boarding house at, this place I10 was foried to hire a buggy arid drive fifteen miles in the night to the next town. The interchangeable mileage book adopted by the railroad companies some time ago arc very unpopular with the traveling men who would like to see the scheme knocked higher than "Gilroy's Kite," henco the outcome of the suit will be watched with much interest by them.

Friday morning about 4 o'clock Carl Matthews, operator for the Home Telephono company at Thorntown, was shot and fatally wounded by a masked robber. The thief entered the office and tired two shots at Matthews, the first missing him and the other entering his breast about two inches above the heart. He then robbed the cash drawer of about two dollars and made his escape. Matthews will die. The telephone company has offered 61(A) for the apprehension of the murderer.

AWFORDSVILLE REVIEW.

READY FOR A FIGHT.

Uen. Jhafter Expects to Take San-

tiago to-day—Co. Al. to go to

the Front.

Ihi9 week has been taken up with '-^4.he concentration of troops at Santiago under the direction of Gen. Shatter.

The opinion prevails that within a day or two at most General Shatter will have begun his attack upon tho city of Santiago proper. The important event of the week was the General's announcement that he could take the city in 48 hours, but at considerable Iobs. Taken in connection with the announcement that he itj going to attack without awaiting reinforcements, it will be seen that the oflicialB have ground for their expectation that the first general engagement of the war will begin in a very short time. Numerically the opposing armies are not very different, the estimate of the Spanish force being placed at 14,000 men,

THOROUGHLY NTUENCH F.D

And behind barbed wire fences and block-houses, as against 18,000 men under Shafter's command, aided by •1,0C0 Cubans. One of the gravest elements in tho problem, however is the Spanish warships, for unless Shafter is materially assisted by Sampson, who might engage the full attention of the Spanish 6hips, their lire upon the American advance force wood be very hard to meet. Gen. Linaires, with nine thousand Spanish troops, is only two days march from Santiago and it is feared he will reach their before Shafter will be ready to attack the belleagured city.

Co. M. of this city will soon have a taste of real war. SpeakiDg cf an ori'er for their removal from Camp Thomas to the front a special says: "The Onehundred and fifty-eight Indiana regiment's enthusiasm was raised to a high pitch today when the orders came, "Prepare to move." The spirits of the command, from those of Col. Harry B. Smith down to those of the humblest private, rose higher than at any time since the regiment left Indianapolis. The word spread quickly around the camp, and within a half hour after the colonel had read the orders there wasn't a man, unless some private off on guard duty, who had not heard the glad tidings. The destination of the troops was not mentioned, and there is no end to speculation in this regard, although the belief is universal that the movement presages an early expedition to the actual scene of hostilities. Nor was the date of the departure .set, but the tents will probably come down some timo this week.

The order does not specify to what point they will be sent for embarkation, but it is understood that they will go to Tampa for direct departure to Cuba."

AlcKee-Tinsley.

Ilev. Frank M. Elliott, of Indianapolis, was called to the city last evening

to perform a very pleasant duty, that of the marriage of Mits Harriet A. MeKee, eldest daughter of Thomas G. McKee, ex-sheriff of Tippecanoe county, ana Mr. Harvey R. Tinsley, a prominent merchant of Crawfordsville. The ceremony was performed at 8 o'clock at the residence of the bride's brother, Thomas 0. McKee, assistant city engineer, at No. 113 north Fifth street. There were no attendants and tho witnesses were limited to near relatives and a few friends. The house was prettily decorated with flower.' and plants and tho supper was served by Weigle. Tho nuptials were entirely devoid of ostentation and, while all of the details were simple, the wedding was a pretty one. Mr. and Mrs. Tinsity left 12:50 o'clock this morning for their home in Crawfordsville and were attended by the best wishes of a host of friends. The bride has been engaged for a number of years as an instructor in the schools of Lauramie township, where she was born and reared, and the highest regard is entertained for her by all who knew her. She has had the advantage of an excellent education and has been endowed by nature with attributes that challenge the admiration and esteem of her friends. The grcom is actively engaged in business at Crawfordsville, is one of the influential and substantial citizens of that place and is a gentleman who is held in high esteem by the people of tho Iloosier Athens.— Thursday's Lafayette Journal.

Flannel Bands for Company M. Several philanthropic ladies of the city banded together a couple of weeks ago, circulated a subscription paper among our citizens, and succeeded in raising about $35 for the purchace of Hanoel bands for the members of Co. M. These bands were shipped to the company Wednesday evening, and will be greatly appreciated by the boys

WANTS IT BACK

George Nichols Says He Has Been

Treated Unkindly by His Rel

atives.

Suit was tiled in the circuit court this week by George D. Nichols against Hattie J. Killen et al. to have a deed to real estate set aside. In his complaint Nichols recites along tale of woe and ill treatment by his children. He

Bays

he is now 75 yearB old and resides on a sixty acre farm in this county. Some twelve years ago the husband of his daughter Hattie, died, leaving his wife and children penniless. Mr. Nichols then took the bereaved family under his roof and gave them a home. He states that he gave them every attention and was even kindness personified. They so endeared themselves to him that when in 1890 they suggested that he deed the farm to them

that when

he shuffled oil their would be no beating them out of it he readily fell a victim reserving however a life time interest in the place for himself. The deed was made with the understanding that Hattie and the kids were to love and obey him and at all times to look after his general welfare. All went smoothly until some five months ago when a cloud of trouble, in the person of Dick Souders, appeared in the hitherto bright blue sky of happiness. Hattie seemed to be terribly smitten with Dick all of which the gallant Dick reciprocated. 'This made the old man tired. In his complaint he says Dick is a deep, dark, desperate and designing man of bad repute and wholly unfit to keep company with his daughter. He remonstrated with Hattie but to no avail. He then plead with the children and they too turr ed their backs on him This was too much for him to stand bo ho now asks the court to set aside the deed as Hattie and the children have not lived up to their promises which prompted him to execute the instrument.

Holds the European Record. Que Allen, the Montgomery county trotting stalion, now holds the European trotting record which he received last week. Speaking of his performance the Chicago Record says: "The trotting season has opened most brilliantly, and east and west the horses have been performing with distinction. Still, for the moment, the item of interest is the news just received in detail from Europe of the utter demolition of tho continental fretting record and the establishment of a new one that is in every way splendid. Tho performance in question took place on June 9 at the great Vienna "jubilee meeting," in the Summer Prize for free-for-all horses A good sized field started, all expatriated Americans, the favorite being the European champion, Col Kueer, who trotted there in 2:14^ last soason, and had previously started in four races at the meeting, which he had won three in grand style. But his day of Waterloo had come, and the winner turned up in Que Allen, who won both heats in 2:103^, 2:10. From all standpoints this race was far and away the best ever trotted across the pond. Que Allen, the winner, is a very handsome bay stallion, 8 years old, bred at Crawfordsville, Ind., sired by Champion Medium, dam Lady Raven, by Raveuswood. He was a successful performer in America for several seasons and trotted to his record of 2:091^ at Portland. Me., last September. In the winter he wbb sold at auction in New York and bought by the foreigners for $1,000."

A Sloppy Game.

Perhaps tho most miserable exhibition of base ball ever put up on the college diamond was that of the Y. M. C. A. aud Lebanon teams, last Tuesday afternoon.

Davidson, of Whitesville. The funeral occurred from the late residence yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Stafford officiating.

The New Big Four Elevator. W. M. Darter's mammoth new elevator on the Big Four railway, is rapidly nearing completion and will be ready to receive grain by July 9th. When finished this elevator will be one of the largest and fcmost commodious in the State. It is replete in every department, and equipped with the most modern machinery and dumps. Propelled with a 60 horse power boiler and a 35horee power engine tho elevator will have a capacity of 10,000 bushels of grain daily, lowering some sixty feet in the air the elevator is what the poet would call a heaven-kissed building and ia a most imposing structure. Mr. Darter has added a feed mill and a mill for grinding whole-wheat and Graham Hour and will also handle the celebrated Golden Link and O. K. flours. Miss Rozza Darter will have charge of the books, while Albert Bowers, of New Market, will act as head engineer. The tarmers of Montgomery county must certainly appreciate the efforts of Air. Darter who boldly enters a strong competitive field to give them one of the bLst markets for their gram in Indiana.
