PUT AWAY THE CROWN

Policeman Dickerson Refuses

the

Honor the Citv Council Would

thrust Upon Him.

A couple of months since the city council concluded that there were too many policemen in tills town ami that it would be a master stroke of policy to economize. Accordingly when appointments ftere lYiude the name of Howard Dickerson was conspicuous for its absence from the list of policemen. The colored population was highly iucensed at this discrimination, asserting that Howard was the most efficient officer on the force, and that they had been promised representation and such recognition of political service rendered the republicans.

On last Monday night on motion of Councilman Nolan, Dickerson was reinstated, but the wounds still rankled it seems and refused to be soothed by a restoration to place at the hands of the Democrats. Smith, Davis, Naylor, Nolan, Morgan, Huttou and Thompson w?re the councilmen who supported the motion, thus making it a democratic movement. Nolan in bis motion, maintained that it is false economy to leave the city insufficiently policed the majority of the council agreed. But Dickerson now states that he will not be trifled with iu any such manner as that, nor will he suffer such discrimination to be made against him without the resentment proper to one who respects manhood. Therefore he refuses to accept the position, and announces that while he is a Republican, hereafter he will look after the interests of those who have proven themselves to be his friends.

He does not darkly hint or slyly insinuate that these are not in the Republican party, but broadly says so in plain English. He will not be betrayed again by the political osculation of ward politicians. And now it is all off.

riATRlMONIAL MIX-UP.

Newt Powers, as a Star" Performer

in the Divorce and Har-

riage Line

The Muncie News furnishes the following item of news in reference to a young man born and reared in this city, which will be of interest.

Newton D. Powers and Mrs. Lota Brown in all probability were married in Chicago last evening, and thus the culmination to a series of domestic troubles. About four weeks ago the wife of Mr. Powers obtained a divorce from him. A complaint had been filed by the husband and a cross-complaint by the wife. Affairs were compromised so that the wife was allowed her decree of separation. The divorce came as the close of much marital trouble. Mrs. Powers is said to have departed from the city a short time after receiving her divorce.'

About a woek previous to the granting of the Powers divorce, Mrs. Lota Brown and her husband, Samuel Brown, were separated legally. Domestic troubles of a serious kind also existed here. Sunday afternoon Mr. Powers left the city, saying he was going to Crawfordsville.

It seems that he did not go to Crawfordsville, or if he did, was not long there. This morning a local correspondent for a Chicago paper received the following telegram: "Newton D. Powers 32, and Mrs. Lota Brown 29, both of Muncie, to wed|here. Did they suspected, by those state of affairs that these two principals cases would be the

case.
