.Pettit's Attorney's Claim. This morning the attorneys who petitioned the board of county commissioners for §15.000 for their services in defending W. F. Pettit, and James B. Milner, representing the commissioners, arrayed themselves before Judge Everett, in the superior court. Readers are aware that the Pettit attorneys several weeks ago brought suit against the county commissioners for §15,000 for their services, the commissioners having disallowed the claim. A written motion and sworn ailidavit was filed by county attorney Milner for a change of venue 011 the ground thut a prefudieo existed in the minus of the people of Tippecanoe county and the court against the commissioners, and a fair and impartial trial could not be had in this county.

Boland spent his time in this city and haranged crowds at all places concerning that bloody villian, the frail and foxy Fred. Rev. Boland while here was looking about incidentally for a wife and becoming enamored 0? an east Market street young lady lost no time in proposing, forgoing completely the formality of a courtship. The proposal was by letter and was couched in the following elegant and flowery language: "Would I not bo a gallant bean polo on which to hang your morning glory?" The yotiDg lady felt constrained to say that he would not and tho rovorand gentleman straightway sought now conquests. He finally succeeded in effecting the rapture of a coy old lady out in his own neighborhood and the marriage took place with due ceremony. It, was a very happy occasion and tho beauteous morning glory flapped joyously in the matrimonial zephyrs. It appears, however that all things have not worked together in the Boland household. The morning glory is after a divorce and tho gallant bean pole stands disconsolate in hazy sunshine of the declining year.

A TKADITI0N.

The Indian Cemetery Recalls an Almost Forgotten Story of tho Long Aa o.

The interest which centers around the Indian burying ground on Geo. .Britton's farm is still undiminished and on. Saturday and Sunday large numbers visited the place. There are some strange contradictions connected with the exhumations which leave our arcl eological wise-acres at a loss. Many of the skeletons were buried as though in an attitude of devotion facing the west, but in other places they are found buried in regular piles as though thrown hurriedly into a trench. Fred Hoffman and a student name Wynkoop took from one narrow grave live skeletons. The bodies at the time of interment were evidently doubled up to occupy the smallest possible compass. Two of the skeletons were evidontly those of women, and two of children, one quite small. The skulls of these, and in fact of all those buried in heaps indicate quite a high grade of intellect, much higher than those more carefully buried. This has led some to the conclusion that a superior people, presumably a white colony, was here massacred by the Indians and buried in their cemetery. Tho bodies were buried because in the valley just below were two famous "deer licks" in the old time, and decaying bodies would have driven the animals away and thus made hunting more diilicult for tho savages.

An almost forgotten tradition is called up by the discovery of the bones which, while somewhat hazy, perhaps is not w'thout interest. In 1821 Abraham K. Miller, the grandfather of Geo Britton settled near where the cemetery is situated. Mr. Miller came from Kentucky and came to this county under the direction of a very old trapper and scout named Hotchkiss, whose experience in Indiana was at the time of the Revolutionary war. This old man was then quite young, and when Col. Geo. Clark came marching into Kentucky from Virginia with 300 men to subdue the northwest in the name of the continental congress, Hotchkiss with other young lventuckiana allied himself to the party. He was present at the capture of Vincennes, and then hearing from tho friendly citizens rumors of wealthy trading towns further up the river started for them in canoes in company with about twenty zealous comrades. Near where Terre Haute now stands was an old French trading post, and here they rested several days. The number of wealthy towns here was lessened to one and the old French trappers laughed knowingly and mysteriously as they spoke of "the count's chateau far up the river of rocks and sugar trees." It was all mystery and nothing certain, but finally the hardy youngsters after receiving directions set out and finally arrived at the mouth of the rivers decribed. For several days they ascended it and finally came to a pleasant valley in which were two deer licks and graves in abundance. They were almost startled to discover hero the remains of a rude stone dam and a ruder mill house decayed and moss grown, with its stones cracked and its primative machinery all falling to pieces. About a mile from their camp was a large Algonquin village. The Indians from this seemed friendly and after the party had been camped for a day or two came in leading a tottering and decrepit old white man attired in the faded uniform c,f a French oflicer of rank. Ills eye was bright with an unearthly fire and it was evident to the astonished adventurers that he was wildly insane The Indians held him in superstitious awe, as one whom the Groat Spirit had touched, and when with courtly bows and gestures he advanced to greet the first white man he had 6een for probably many years, the savages fell respectfully back and gathering in groups conversed in excited whispers. The party had one young French voyager who

in vain attempted to ascertain the history of the curious old man, whoso fine, aristocratic face seemed masked by the expression of helpless, hopelesR imbecility. His uniform was once a rich one, and still the polished b.ickles and gold lace glistentd

the last rays of the de

clining sun as he bowed anil courtesied as though welcoming his guests. He had little to say and that of little import, the only intelligible substance to be gathered was to tho effect that his treasure was buried there and there lie would remain forever. The lventuckiana remained several days, and visiting the Indian towns saw the lodge in which the Btrange Frenchman lived. His insanity caused him to be venerated by the Indians and his every want was ministered to with superstitious fear. His hut was of poles and costly pelts, but tho floor was of stone and among tho furnishings vere some relics of the civilization over the sea. A sword and a crucifix are remembered. The party finally departed on a homeward trip and joining Col, Clark at Vincennes returned to Kentucky never again to visit the strange scenes in the north. HotchkisB always remembered the beautiful valley at the "deer licks" and the strange old

Frenchman, and when Miller left Kentucky he described the spot to him. Mr. Miller was satisfied he had reached the very place when he settled just west of where Crawfordsville now stands, and his belief was confirmed by the presence of the "deer licks," the remnants of the old stone dam which still remain, and by the discovery of a square of stones set in the earth aB though to make a

floor. The Indians told him of a Spanish settlement which had once been there and which had been wiped out long, long years before by a hostile tribe which camo from the north in the night. The French and Spanish could easily have been confounded by the ravages and probably were. No doubt in the long ago a wandering party of French exiles or adventurers settled here among friendly savages to be destroyed, with the exception of one man by a warring tribe. Whether the old man, whom Hotchkiss said, was spared on account of his affliction, or whether the loss of his "treasure" (which was, perhaps, his family) drove him insane, is a question. His previous history and his subs', {uent fate are all unknown. Who he was, what he was, is also a mystery. Are the bodies so piled in trenches the treasure that held him to the spot"' Were thov his loved ones hurriedly buried after an Indian massacre? The old moss grown stones of tne long made dam might tell us if they could. But the dam, impervious alike to sun and storm, still lies across the river's bed like some grim sphinx, whoso secret no man knowoth.

Nearly Asphyxiated,

Mrs. N. W. Myers had a narrow escape from death by asphyxiation Sunday moning. She has a gasoline stove which was recently changed so that gas could be used. But there was no provision made for the escape of the burnt gas. Sunday being rather chilly Mrs. Myers had the kitchen closed tight and the burnt gas soon made her sick. Not realizing what the cause of it was she continued about her work until she was completely overcome. Arousing herself by a mighty effort she told her 6ix year old son to call the neighbors but he too, fell over when he tried to walk. Finally they both succeeded in getting 1 to fresh air. The neighbors came in and worked with Mrs. Myers a long while before she recovered. Tho bov was not in a very s« rious condition.

To exemplify this charming method of tiv-iuiing trouble we would cite you gentle reader, t" the Hutchinson-liald-win-Bill McCo'.i.,18 case, which is now tho solo tojHc Kit conversation in WTaynetown and is of peculiar interest to that largo and influential class of citizens, who, until it arose for discussion, were devoting aU their time between drinks to a consideration of tho purity of the ballot and tho probable Democratic ma--jority in the Lick Skillet procinct of Bristle Ridge. To begin at tho beginning, aB Bob Osborn would say, lot us go back in history some little "space of time to the day 011 which the ltunyan vs. Baldwin suit was tried in the Montgomery circuit court in tho piesence and hearing of the charmed cat of said court, together with other lesser luiuinarits and dignataries. The evidence was about equally divided and some mighty tall swearing had been done. .lack Baldwin's son, one eyed Garret, commonly known as "Bally," as especially brought credit unto himself and in order to impeach him John Hutchinson was put 011 tho stand. John is a brother to old Mrs. McMullen, ono of the vietinis of the famous CotToy murder, lie is also just a little timid and, nerhap6, is lacking in that strength and "force of character which distinguish some men. When on the stand John was asked what he know of Garret's reputation for truth and veracity. He crossed his logs and stated that as far as his veracity wont it was bad as I10 hail hoard Klston Sayers declare that I10 had stolen a sheep. He had also heard Mrs. Flston Sayers make the same assertion. Well, that was protty rough, to be sure, and when the case was over John Hutchinson went home followed by the evil looks of the house of Baldwin. A night or so after the trial Mr. Bill McComas, who made a memorable race for the sheriffalty once upon the time, waited on him and declared that Sayers denied evor having accused Garrett of purloining mutton.

Ho further stated that the Baldwins were preparing to send him (Hutchinson) to tho penitentiary for a term and gobble up about $5,000 worth of his property. All this was very interesting 10 Mr. Hutchinson if not amusing and the chatter of his teeth resembled the noise made by a stump accidently shoved in a threshing machine. When, therefore, the Baldwins called and demanded SI,000 from him ho did not tell thotn to move on but asked tune for consideration. Phe outcome of the whole matter wab that Hutchinson actually met the Baldwins the otlior day and paid over to them $900 in tho coin of tho realm to save himself from a trip to the penitentiary. His wife fairly raved when she learned of the transaction and attorneys havoJjeen consulted hero in reference to tho matter. It is charged that Bill McComas received a part of the "swag" but this has not Ueen vouched for as yet.

Wants that $900 Back.

.John Hutchinson, who was bulldozed out of $900 by .Jack Baldwin at Waynetown a few days ago, has decided that he needs the money worse than Jack and haH therefore brought suit in tho circuit court to recover that amount. Crane ,V Anderson filed the compluint Saturday. The charge is that Baldwin received the money without giving any consideration therefor.

For Seventy-fivo dents.

Col. J. R. Courtney prosecuted a case at Linden Saturday in which tho magnificent sum of 75 cents was involved. Win. Donnelly sold a farmer named 1'addock 150 bricks and finally sued for the bill which amounted to 75 cents. The case was tried by a jury, good and true, and judgment obtained for tho plaintiff. Tho costs and, attorneys foes amount to about $15(1.
