YALE WARD.

Ward 1*. II. Burrows Spirited Away to Cass County, to He Tried for Forgery.

Wily \Y ard Burrows of the confiding heart and fine Italian hand, now reposes in the jail of Cass county. Monday evening- Frank Kistler. Prosector of Cass county, accompanied by a deputy Sheriff with a large Roman nose and a pair of handcuffs, arrived in town. Tuesday they were up betimes and strolled down to the jail, smoking Havana cig-ars and smiling- benignly 011 the ladies of the recherche north end. They showed Sheriff Davis two mighty interesting documents. One was a warrant for the arrest of W. F. II. Burrows for forgery, on an indictment returned by a Cass county grand jury, and the other was an order from Judge Harney to Sheriff' Davis to surrender the prisoner. Ward was sipping lemonade in the corridor when informed that he "war come for." The gentle Ward arose and shaking his shaggy mane indulged in some vigorous language. He expressed a yearning to see his attorneys, but it was so nearly train time that tliev could not be summoned and Ward had to go away without even a farewell handshake. The case is now in Cass county and Montgomery county has nothing to do with it. Unless his Crawfordsville attorneys do a labor of love they will not even represent him in Logansport. He will have new council appointed there and will be tried for forgery, pure and simple. The bank cashier will testify that Ward is the same young man who signed Riser's name to the stolen check and other witnesses will swear that they saw him in Logansport at that time. Ward will swear that he wasn't, and there the case will go to the jury. The jury will doubtless find him guilty. If it does not, however, he will be brought back here to be tried on the charge of larceny.

The turn the case has takeii will result in profit to this county. A new trial would cost us about $400 or §"00 and we are beholden to the good people of Cass for relieving- us.

Doing a I5ig Business.

Cicero McCluer & Sons' brick yards are busier than ever before and ever before and every brick burned in the last kiln has been sold. During the coal miners' strike the supply of coal ran out during the burning and about 40,000 brick came out a little off color, but were good for all purposes and readily disposed of. Another kiln containing 240,000 is almost ready to burn but will not be until a large supply of coal is on hand. The force will go right on filling the other kilns and two or three will probably be burned at once.

VOL. 52-NO. 23 CRAWFORD SVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JUNE S, 1894—TWELVE PAGES PART SECOND

The firm has 13 acres of ground in its Crawfordsville plant and on it are three kilns with a capacity of 700,000. There are 16 dry sheds with a capacity of 10,000 each, so a force of 18 men is kept on the jump all the time. The firm this season will turn out 2.000,000, turning out 42 bricks every minute of every working hour. The machinery is of the latest improved pattern, including the famous Potts crusher. Of the brick manufactured here all except about 000,000 are used in this county.

The firm also has a large yard at Waynetown with a kiln with a capacity of 190,000. All the brick made in that yard are used right in Waynetown.

McClure & Sons pay out in wages every month 81,200, all of which is spent with the merchants and business men of Montgomery county. They make the largest brick now on the market and have one of the leading and most active industries in Montgomery county.

Mr. Reed Returns,

Albert S. Reed returned Tuesday from Indianapolis where he has been for the last few weeks attending the trial of the bank cases. All people in Crawfordsville are glad to have Mr. Reed return here where he has proved himself a considerate and courteous gentleman and has gained popularity even when in charge of the affairs of an unpopular company. Mr. Reed stands technically blameful but morally innocent in the eyes of the court that tried him, and sentiment at Indianapolis, here and everywhere is warmly in his favor. No one believes for a moment that he ever did an intents onal wrong- and all the good people here take pleasure in again welcoming him.

Tlie Township Assessors Make] Their Annual Report to the County Auditor.

The assessment of property this year in Montgomery county shows a mighty falling off' and conclusively proves that we are either growing poorer or more negligent in regard to the truth.

Changing To Natural Gas.

Mart Burk, the west Main street plumber, says he. is quite busy now testing pipes in stores and houses for the use of natural gas for light. Many people are giving up artificial gas and electric light in order to use natural gas, because it is cheaper.

A Successful lliinquct Followed hyn Delightful Hop to Inspiring Music.

The annual banquet and dance given by the alumni of the Crawfordsville High School occurred last Monday and was a gratifying success in every particular. The management is to be warmly congratulated for the satisfactory conduct of the entire affair. Before 8 o'clock the banquet guests began to assemble in the parlors of the Nutt hotel and at 8:20 Mantani Brothers Italian orchestra, of Indianapolis, struck up the march to the dining room. There were ninety persons sat down to the festal board and a banquet in three courses was served. The tables were handsomely decorated with bowls of roses and the banqueting feature of the evening was a very pleasant one. Before 9:30 o'clock the carriages had landed the guests at the P. O. S. of A. armory, where the dance was held. The floor was in splendid condition and a pleasanter dance was never held there. The. crowd was not too large for the hall and the music furnished by the Mantanis was superb. The score had been carefully arranged and was carried out to the last number. It was after 1 o'clock when the music ceased and the merry dancers left for their homes.

More About Free Kindergartens. The ladies who heard Miss Riefsnider's talk on free kindergartens at the First church on Friday afternoon hope that it may result in something being done in that line here in Crawfordsville. Miss Riefsnider is an experienced kindergartener and spoke at the invitation of the W.C.T.U. About fifty ladies were present. In Slielbyville there is a free kindergarten, supported by a Sunday school class of thirty young ladies. In Crawfordsville the W.C.T.U. ought to undertake this work. It would bring the organization into prominence and into close touch with the people. There are people who would give money quicker to support a free kindergarten than for any other work. We hope the ladies will make all the necessary arrangements so that at least one school can be opened next September.

Miners Want Money.

A committee of two from the strik ing miners at Itosedale struck'the town Tuesday in search of money to help the men and their families through until the trouble was adjusted. They thought the strike would be over in about a week and said there was con siderable suffering among the strikers. They wanted Mayor Bandel to head the subscription list, but he refused to do so, saying there was enough poverty in Crawfordsville that needed caring for without sending money out of town and too many men out of employment here at home. The committee replied that without the influence of the mayor's name at the head of the list they could do no good here and announced their intention of returning home on the next train.

., A Big Meeting.

ship. diedMonday at the Insane Hos- turned out to be one of the most pital in Indianapolis, where- he had stubbornly contested horse races ever been taken for treatment only a week held. Our Terre Haute friends have before. His disease was violent and other attractions equally as big as this quickly did its work. Mr. Brinson was one for that same week. For instance, only about thirty-five years old, but the $10,000 race on Monday, the $14,was known and honored all over the 000 purse on Thursday, the Terre country. He was Master of the Masonic Haute Brewing Company's purse, $5.lodge at Linden and a most excellent 000, for Thursday, the $5,000 for 2:15 gentleman. Ilis many friends will be trotters on Friday, and a like sum for pained to hear of his death. 2:20 trotters on Saturday.

It is truly remarkable, in these close times, the marvelous amount of money —$90,000 in all—in purses to be raced for at the Terre Haute fair, in August of this year. And on Tuesday, August 14th, comes the biggest race, that of the four-year-olds, for the splendid purse of $24,000, of which $12,000 goes to the first horse. There has never before, in the history of trotting races, been a race for this much money. A great many years ago there occurred a race at Buffalo, N. V., for $20,000, and it drew a great crowd to see what
