Thursday, Feb. 2 2d about o'clock Dr llutchings hitched his valuable young mare to the hitching block in front of his office in the .loel block and went upstairs to look after,some patients* lit was kept busy during the afternoon but noticed about 4 o'clock that his horse and buggy were standing an ngni. A little before five he looked out and the rig had disappeared. He at first thought that his boys had driven her away but when they failed to appear in half an hour he went down and found that the hitching strap had been cut close off to the block. This alarmed hiin and he hurried home to ascertain if the mare had been taken there. She had not been heard of so Dr. llutchings summoned the police and instituted inquiry. The business men in front of whose places she liad stood during the afternoon had not seen lier taken although one had noticed a strange young man inspecting the outfit with a critical eye. The streets had been crowded all the time and the rigs of F. M. Dice and others had been hitched at the. same place. Telephone and telegraphic messages were sent in all directions and the town scoured. During the evening it was asceatained that Dr. ISenefiel had met the rig going east about .Joe (Irubb's place oil the Indianapolis road about dark and had spoken to the driver, supposing him to Vie the doctor.

It was too dark to observe the man clearly enough to describe him, however. A young son of Israel the butcher had also seen the rig going east on Main street about 5 o'clock. Indications seemed to point to the thief making for Indianapolis so Officer Grimes went over next day to make a search for the horse and thief.

Dr. llutchings learned Saturday afternoon that Lou Paxton, of near Darlington, was the man who stole his horse and buggy Thursday from the post in front of -the. Doctor's office on Washington street. Officer (Jrimes at once started out after the rascal telephoning ahead to Marshal Oden. of Lebanon, to watch out for l'axton, who was supposed to be headed that way. At Darlington Officer (Jrimes learned that l'axton had spent Thursday night with tieorge Conrad and had gone froi.i there to Elmer Thompson's place where he spent Friday night. He was visiting relatives in Boone county so Mr. ("Jrimes took with him .lames Killen, for whom l'axton had worked, and set out for Lebanon. The drive was a rough one through the cold wind but they were rewarded at Lebanon by finding that the thief was safely in jail. Marshal Oden upon the receipt of the telephone message had started at once for the home of Paxton's relatives in the country and by rare good fortune met the thief in the road. He was in Dr. llutchings' buggy but was driving a little yellow pon^ with a sad discouraged sort of a look, l'axton was at once arrested and immediately acknowledged the theft. He stated that he had traded the mare to a fanner named Frank Mullen for a pony and that he was on his way to Frankfort to sell the whole outfit and skip the State.

Last Sunday morning officer (Jrimes drove out to Mullen's and, delivering the yellow pony, demanded the mare which Mullen promptly surrendered with the remark- that he thought something was queer when he made such a trade. He luid paid l'axton SI. 10 for boot, and l'axton had very kindly thrown in a buggy robe. Mullen raised no objection and did not even ask for his SI.10.

Officer irinies then proceeded to the jail, handcuffed l'axton and came home in triumph yesterday afternoon. He drove the rig at once to Dr. Hutelling's residence and, having turned it over to the doctor and his family, lie proceeded with Paxton to the jail, where that excellent young man now languishes among the lieuri of the Black Hills, his every want being administered to by that most accommodating and accomplished of beings, Howard Diekerson. the colored turnkey.

Paxton's story is as follows: "I am 23 years old and am the son of Sam Paxton, who lives three miles west of Darlington. I came to Crawfordsville Thursday and got drunk. I didn't have any way to get home so I just cabbaged onto the rig and cut out for Darlington. I went out Market and turned off at the old toll gate. I was affraid to bring the rig back when I sobered off and the consequence was I made a bad job worse. I reckon that I'm in for it now and will have to stand the racket. A poor fellow don't stand any show here. If I had been rich I could have hooked twenty horses

1 was

a id folks would have said clever and sowing wild oats." l'axton has borne a bad reputation from childhood, lie has long' been looked upon as a common thief and the Darlington Horse Thief detectives were prepairng on Saturday to arrest him for stealing an overcoat of .lames Killen. his late enployer. He was wearing this overcoat, when captured by the officers.

NAUGHTY HARRY TEMPLE.

The Scenic Artist Gets In Jnil For Digamy.

at Length

Everyone in Crawfordsville remembers Harry Temple, the handsome young scenic artist who made his headquarters here for about two years. He painted the present drop curtain in Music Hall, ''the great master piece'' in the Kobbins House office and executed other arts of talent over town. He roomed with a woman he called his wife, but who proved to be a deceived girl, at the residence of Mrs. Wilcox on ater street, and a little over a year ago skipped out leaving Mrs. Wilcox to whistle for a big bill and his girl victim penniless, lie had tried to induce a well known Crawfordsville girl to run oil' with him but luckily for her he failed. The following special from Wabash is the latest from Mr. Temple: -Mrs. Retta Temple, of this city, left to-night for .Martin's Ferry. (')., where her husband. Harry Temple, is in jail to answer the charge of bigamy.

Temple is a scenic artist who*located in Wabash about the year He married Miss Retta Yiardner. with whom he lived until two or three years ago. when he deserted her, -going to Chicago. She sued for divorce, but had obtained no decree. Yesterday Mrs. Temple saw a dispatch from Martin's Ferry stating that Harry Temple was under arrest there, having- wedded a Martin's Ferry woman when he had a wife living at Nashville. Tenn. The Nashville woman was hot on his track and caused his arrest.

The Wabash Mrs. Temple immediately telegraphed the officials in Ohio and received positive assurance that her husband was the man in the toils, and also a request to come and testify against him. Temple is an unprincipled sealaway. although a talented artist, whose services are in demand. It is presumed the Nashville marriage was contracted since he left Wabash. The Wabash woman is the mother of two small children by Temple and departed this evening %Towingveugeance.

An Unjnst Attack.

In the last issue of his church paper Rev. II. A. Tucker goes after Tiie Jouhn.vi. in the following polite, courteous.and Christian manner:

The Jouknai. slanderously reported that one of the young ladies of the League gave a dancing party. This was utterly false. The greenness of Tin-: Jouknai, is inexcusable.

In one breath a minister of the gospel accuses us of slander, falsehood and inexcusable verdency. A minister above all others should be sure he is right before making such damaging and harmful charges. The propriety of his ever making them is very doubtful. If Mr. Tucker had followed the course which his abusive lecture to Thic JoriiNAi. implied that

it

should

follow, namely: to investigate before reporting, he would have found that at the party in question dancing- was the chief amusement and was largely indulged in by a great majority of the guests present, not a few of whom were, from Mr. Tucker's ilock. Now, Tin- Joi'knai. does not believe that those young people jeopardized their immortal souls by dancing or that they were half so unchristian in so doing as was Mr. Tucker by making unwarranted and uncalled for accusations of falsehood and slander. If Mr. Tucker follows the best policy he will discontinue the publication of that little paper which the lOpworth League has refused to father any longer. We honestly believe (and if Mr. Tuckei will consult his fellow pastors nn friends he will find we are right) that this paper is doing him harm here. The curious admixture of blarney and spite with which its columns reek cannot fail to be hurtful to any man. church or cause, which the publication is supposed to represent.

Dodging the Ofln8«qu«n('w.

Aunt Sallie Bogart, her son and his wife were all before the court Feb. 23dfor keeping and for being about house of ill-fame. They refused to plead guilty and their cases went over to the next term of court. Mrs. Bogart knew that had she pleaded guilty before Judge Harney that she would have received three months in jail and a heavy fine. It is thought that .Judge Ilarney will be sworn off the bench and some other man put on who is prone to gaze with a lenient and indulgent eye upon the frivolity in which Sarah and her coterie of nymphs are wont to indulge. The other women of this character will undoubtedly be arrested on indictments and will in all probability pursue the tactics of the divine Sarah.

A Now Church Dedicated.

After tracing the church from its foundation to its present, its conflicts and achievements, he cast, the horoscope for the future with cheerful and well-founded prophecy, lie occupied about fiO minutes and then called for money enough to liquidate the debt, and in a few moments had nearly the amount. The congregation was then dismissed, and at o'clock assembled for communion, and adjourned until :.'S0. after congratulatory addresses when the speaker was again greeted by a large audience. The text for the evening was, "The Vineyard.'' After a •15 minutes'discourse the speaker asked for voluntary contributions sufficient to meet the expenses of the dedication and also what was lacking on the cost of construction. In a few moments it was forthcoming and everybody was happy. The house was formally dedicated, using Foy's beautiful and impressive services, closing with the benedictory prayer.

complaint alleges that one night last handsomely decorated with Hags which December that she bought a first class were neatly arranged above the pulpit ticket from Crawfordsville to New and about the organ. A picture of Ross and alighted from the train on (icorge Washington was upon the wall the platform at that place.

Sunday. Feb. ISth, the people of tl't corner stone, as with education Smartsburg dedicated the new church. The building' is plain but very neat, and furnished in the latest style. It is an ornament to the place and a great credit to the community. The early morning found everything in readiness and it. was a line audience that assembled to witness the services. The first thing on the programme was a voluntary by the choir. After a hymn by the congregation the. 8-lt.h Psalm was read. Then a hymn before and one alter the invocation. Following this, (ieorge (). White made the report of the building committee which showed a balance of Sr.'GO unprovided for. After the hymn the speaker. Rev. T. J. Shuey, of Waveland. advanced to the front of the pulpit and announced his text, *'Thy Kingdom Come."

Too much cannot be said in praise concerning the good people of Smartsburg. The result of these services surprised everyone for the contributions were nearly all in cash. Rev. Shuey was most happy in his remarks, lie possesses to an extraordinary degree the faculty of saying just what is right and at the right time. He conducted the ceremony with perfect success, not a thing in the whole affair could have been improved, lit is one of the most fluent and pleasing speakers in the country, and wherever he goes he makes friends for the cause he represents.

Sunday School Convention.

The Montgomery county Sunday school union held its third quarterly convention at New Richmond last Friday. Rev. T.J. Shuey delivered a very interesting and instructive address on "The Church and the Musses." and Prof. (). 10. Kellev on "The Successful Sunday School Teacher." Able papers pertaining to Sunday school work- were read and discussed. An excellent dinner was served in the church by the people of New Itichmond. It was one of tin? most interesting and best attended conventions ever held in the county. The next convention will be held in Crawfordsville the fourth Friday in May.

Tlic County (jIhiiih a Point.

The court has granted a new trial in the case of Wm. (J. llutchings' heirs against Montgomery county, wherein the plaintiffs were awarded 81,000 damages. The ground for setting aside the verdict was rather technical in its nature, the court holding that he had made a slight error in instructing the jury. The. pli 'ntiffs' attorneys, Wright & Sellar, believe that they can obtain a larger judgment at the next trial.

Tin- Health Confcri'iiw.

The State Board of Health is sendingto all the county, town and city boards in the State circular letters informing them of a health officers' conference at Indianapolis, April 11th anil 12th, in which they are expected and urged to take part at their own expense. Th« objects of this conference are the presentation of facts, the comparison of views and the discussion of practical methods relating to the prevention of sickness and deaths and the improvement of the conditions of living.

The laws and rules governing th« prevention and restriction of infectious and contagious diseases will receive attention, and the benefits resulting from such discussion will be largely in excess of the cost of attendance, so the State board claims. A programme will be prepared and sent the health officers as soon as it can I« arranged, and the State board wants them to suggest special subjects for consideration.
