OR A WPO RDS VILLE, INDIANA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1898.

ACQUITTED,

Was John C. Fullenwider of the

Charge of Forgery.

The first two days of this week in court were consumed in the trial of John C. Fullenwider on the charge cf forgery, the purported forgery being a note for $300 with the name of Wm. Mount upon it as an endorser, and which Fullenwider disposed of to Ezra Vuris, Fullenwider has been in jail ever Bince hie arrest, having failed to find friends of sufficient financial stand" ing to go his bond. For the state Voris and Mount were the only two witnesses. Mr. Voris testified that in January the defendant came to him with the note, purporting to have had it signed by Wm Mount. On these representations he purchased, psying the cash to Fullenwider.

W. A. Mount took the stand and testitied that last January Fullenwider had come to his house and spent the dap. Just before he left jhe asked the witness tojgo on his note bnt the witness declined. Fullenwider laughingly accepted the declination and rode away. Next heard of tne transaction when called upon by Voris who held the forged note.

W. M. White and Wm. Webster testified as experts for the defence that the two names—Fullenwider and Mount did not look like tbey were written by the same band.

The defendant then went on the stand and told his strange story. He told that he needed a little money last January and that he needed an endorsement. [He thought his cousin, Will Mount, would favor him and vent out to see him. Mr. Mount refused and he started back for Crawfordsville. Along about Gov. Mount's place he met a stranger who gave his name as Bratton and who said that he was hunting a loBt filly. To him Mr. luillenwider told of his disappointment, and Bratton gave bim the laugh, telling him that he had failed to get the signature merely because be had not gone at Mount in the right manner. He offered to take the note back aud get it in no time if FulnwiderJwould pay him ten dollars for his pains. This the.defendant right gladly agreed tit do and awaited in the road while Bratton hied himself to the home of his cousin Billy. In a short time he returned and bore the note with

Mount's name affixed thereto. The case after speeches by the attorneys for the opposing sides was given to the jury which after being out a few hours returned a verdict acquitting Fullenwider.

Clodfeltor will Not Down. A special fr.im Richmond sayB: "Much curiosity exists here as to what sort of a railroad project William A. Pickens, of Indianapolis, is representing. Tue request made to the council last week for a franchise to enter the city, uaine as a surprise, there having been no intimation previous to this time that such a move was contemplated by any company. It iB krown that Noah Clodfelter is interested, but the names of others included in the company aro not known. The local representative states that within a few weeks Mr. Pickens and one or two members of the com pany will be here to look over the ground and ascertain the public feeling regarding a new railroad line. It is hinted that the new line is to be built south, and tkat the old road bed of the

Evansville & Indiana, which was never finished, is to be used."

THE "OLD LAW OFEICE"

To Be Torn Down, and Another Old

Landmark to Disappear.

Ihe "old law oflke" on Pike street, a few feet eat-t of Green, which has withstood the storms of many winters and which has been

knnwD

as one of the

land murks of Crawfordsville, is to be turn down at once and made into fire wood, its t'aj'B of usefullnesB baring long since paseed away. This old time frame edifice was erected over sixty years Hgo by the late Samuel C. Willeon, an eminent attorney in Crawfordsville over thirty years ago, and who at one time was a partner with Hon. Henry S. Lane in the practice of law. The building was used as a law office for over twenty years. Within its old wallb many intricate law questions were brought up for discussion, many mooted points settled, and many consultations over law points disposed of. In that early day the law firm ol' Lane & Wilson controlled the majority of the practice at the bar of Montgomery county.

Many of the practitioners from neighboring counties made this old law office their headquarters, and here many a political intrigue haa been concocted and carried through to a finish. In this old office, Hon. Daniel W. Vorhoes, soon after leaving college, began in 1850, under the tutilage of Mr. Wilson the study of law, going the next year to Covington to begin the practice. Mr. Vorhees when here some eight years ago for the last time, made a special visit to this old law office, the sight of which to him, no doubt, revived many pleasant memories of his younger days. Articles, reminiscent of this old law office here in years past appeared in some of the large city daily newspapers, and in one of them an illustration of it was furnished, but time which "levels all things" doeB not omit it, and hereafter it will be only a memory in Orawfordsville's history.

THE FIGHT IS ON.

The City Attorney Files His First

Batch of Complaints Against

the Gas Company.

Monday morning City Attorney Chae. Johnston filed fifteen complaints against the natural gas company in accordance with the order received from the city council at its recent meeting. The complaints are baBed on that clause in the gas ordinance which provides a penslty of $50 a day for each day the company fails to furnish gas in sufficient quantities. Each day is made a seperate offense and Mr. Johrston is therefore compelled to prepare separate complaint for each offense. The city attorney is to be complimented on his prompt action in the matter and especially in his perseverance in overcoming the objections of

Happily Married.

William B. Ford and MIBB Flora R. Flannegan, of DarlingtoD, were mar

Harry Morgan has had his pension increased from $13 to $17 per month. The intant son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Doyle died Wednesday and was buried Thursday afternoon.

Mrs. Sarah E. Myers has returned to her home in Chicago after an extended visit with friends here.

The late R.

F. Pierce carried life

insurance to the amount of $73,000 which is payable to his two children. The successor of City Treasurer Hills will be selected at the regular meeting of the city council next Monday night, It iB said that there are already more than a dozen applicants for the place,

the of weak-kneed officials

who did not want the action brought. The cases are Bet for hearing in the Mayor's court for next Tuesday, Dec. 20th.

Found for the Defendants. Judge White, of the Parke Circuit Court, this week rendered his decision in the Hutton vs. Cur ninghani suit by entering a finding for the defendantsThe plaintiffs held that in 1836 the Hutton brothers, George, Samuel, Gilmore and Jacob, purchated a tract of land jointly and put it in Gilmore's name. At Gilrnore's death, it is claimed, the other three brothers agreed to let the widow hold it until she died, at which time it was to revert back to them. When she died without issue her brothers, the Cunninghams, came into possession of the property by law and refused to give it up, claiming that such a partnership aB claimed by the plaintiffs never existod, hence the suit. It is understood the plaintiffs will appeal the case.

A False Alarm.

Last Saturday night O. A. Stafford, of near Mace, came to this city and hitched hie horse in front of the Diamond laundry on Green street. When he got ready to return home he found the animal and boggy both gone. Thinking the animal might have broken loose he hurried home. The horse had not reached there however, and Stafford became alarmed and notified the horse thief detective eompany. By daylight men were sent in every direction but the squad coming to this city met the animal standing in a fence corner just eaBt of town. Everything was intact and nothing had been disturbed. It is presumed the Bnimal broke loose and starting home had become confused in the directions and had stood in the fence corner all night.

Basket Ball.

LaBt Saturday night the Wabash college basket ball team defeated the Butler college boys at the Y. M. C. A. armory by a score of 20 to 10.

HERRON BEATEN.

Be"

Waynetown Seems Destined to

come a Dry Burg.

Wednesday morning the county uommiBBionery rendered their decision in the liquor case of Tom Herron, of Waynetown, by refusing to grant him a license. The case was one of the most bitterly contested in the history of the county and consumed nearly four days of time in the commissioners court When ^Herron first made application several citizens got up a remonstrance and succeeded in securing a majority of the votere in the township. The wiley Herron wa9 not to be caught napping however, so he quietly went among the remonstrators and induced thirty or them to withdraw, enough to invalidate the remonstrance. The commissioners held that the signers had a right to withdraw from the remonstrance if they wanted to and first blood was claimed and nllowed for Herron. The nnti-saloonists had anothe card up their sleeves however and at once renewed their attack from another quarter.

They claim that hi* had violated the law by selling liquor to minors and the roar waxeth warm once n:ore. All day Monday and Tuesday was occupied in examining witr esses, among whom were many minors who testified to having purchased liquor in Herron's place At the conclusion of the argument the commissioners rendered a verdict as above stated.

Refined Minstrelsy.

The bill offered at Music Hall on Monday night, Dec. 19tb, will be Oliver Scott's Refined Negro Minstrels. Their entertainment appeals to all classes, and is entirel free from objectionable features. It is of a refined nature and has captivated all classes of people, no matter whether regular theatre goers or not. It is an entertainment that all classes can visit with propriety. Every performer connected with the entertainment ie cslored, gathered up from all sections of the world. Many of the fea uros aud specialties introduced will outrival those of their white brothe.-e This company was originally known as the A1 G. Field Real Negro Minstrel's, but was purchased this season by Mr.

Field's partner, Mr. Oliver Scott, who will conduct it in the future under biB own name.

He certainly shows excellent judgment and taste for he could mako no more fitting or appreciative gift to his gentlemen friends than a choice box of those deliciouBly flavored Havanas,

To Discuss the State Fair. It is a well known fact that for the past two years the State fair has been on the decline in point of patronage and exhibits until it has become a money loser. In consequence Secretary Kennedy, of the State board of agriculture^ ie sending out notices to members for the meeting to be held Jan. 4, and it is expected that on that date the fate of the Indiana State fair will be settled for all time. It iB the general impression that the fair is doomed.
