"Grant"Herringand Dave Mitchell Engage in a Free-for-all Fight.

HERRING'S FIGHT WITH THE OFFICERS

Itlood Flowed Freely—Mitchell Barfly Bruised Up—llerrinj* Threatens to ilo Some Killing.

There was a "fight to the finish" near the foundry on north Green street Monday evening at 7 o'clock. The two parties were Dave Mitchell, a barber, having a shop across south from the foundry, and Walter (Grant) Herring, both colored men. The fuss commenced at the house of Lou Foster, on the corner up from the Monon depot, and the first seen of the two men was between the Foster house and the house south of it. Here they were fighting in great shape. Mitchell was bleeding like lie had had his jugular vein cut in twain, all about the head and breast, his clothes being saturated in his own life blood. Herring had had his shirt entirely torn off, and pieces of it covered with blood from Mitchell's wounds, were scattered all around. Constable Bias was coming along and undertook to separate the fighting men, and he had a rough time of it, but he kept at it until Herring was landed in jail. Several colored men weut to the aid of Bias, and Policeman Wade also hove in sight. Herring had struck Bias several times and he fought the officers like a tiger at bay. Wade finally got handcuffs on Herring and then he struggled like a giant as he was placed in the jail to cool off, and think over his mad exploit. He boldly informed Bias and those who helped place him in the "cooler"' that he would kill them as soon as he got out. Herring lost nearly all his clothing before he got in jail and he looked like a wild man.

Next morning both the men were up before the Mayor and entered a plea of guilty to the charge against them. Herring was Mned §5 and costs, for assaulting Mitchell, and he was sent back to jail. Mitchell was fined SI and costs and he put up a small gold watch as security, promising to pay some every Monday morning until the sum was all paid.

Mitchell had a bad scalp wound extending down five inches from the top of his head toward his left ear. He refused to answer any questions concerning the fight. telling Prosecutor Moffett that he "had plead guilty and he asked too many questions." But he did say that the wound was caused by being hit with a pitcher and not with a knife.

Herring, however, did not seem to be reserved in what he said. He said that he was at the Foster house drinking beer with Lou Houser and Mitchell coming in raised a muss over wanting some of the' beer, and knocked the Houser woman down. This was too much for Herring and he went for Mitchell, breaking the pitcher over his head. The Mayor advised him to be careful how he, hereafter, resisted officers, or things would go against him worse tliau this time.

liebg' Three-Story House.

Hon. M. D. White, while in Terre Haute, saw the fallen labor leader, Debs, and also saw his house of elegant proportions, three stories high. Mr. White safd that Mrs. Debs was heard to say: "My husband gets'but S3,500 a year salary, when he ought to have $20,000." It is said that when the Democratic party of the eighth district was hunting for a candidate in the place of Lamb, they tried to induce the same Debs to run, but could not and thej then selected Brookshire. If Debs had run Brookshire never would have been heard of.

Duckworth, who is in the city, has received word that their house and barn located near Hoopeston, 111., was entirely destroyed by fire last Friday, with all the contents.

VOL. 52-IsTO. 31 OEAWFORDSVILLE, LNDIANA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 1894—TWELVEPAGES PART SECOND

'ho Attica Thinks Ho Ought to Nominate*! for CongreHt*.

The Attica Lcihjvr this week has the following editorial favoring George W. Faris, of Terre Haute, as the Kepubliean candidate for Congress:

Notwithstanding the opposition in his own party. Hon. E. V. Brookshire is again the Democratic candidate for Congress in the Sth district. However cautious and conservative Mr. Brookshire's course may have been, there is no disguising the fact that there are men in his own party, some of them leaders, who desire his defeat. Whether this opposition comes from personal or political feeling matters not to liepublicans. Their duty is to take advantage of the situation and use it for the election of a Republican. This does not mean that any Republican can be elected. On the contrary, it means that more than usual precaution must be taken in the selection of a candidate. This is a Democratic district and notwithstanding all circumstances point to Republican victory, it will not do to become over-confident or Hegleet the opportunity offered by the renomination of Mr. Hrooksliire. All personal preference should be sacrificed and careful, clear-headed judgment used in making a selection that will insure success. We take it that all Republicans will readily admit that their candidate should be a man of strong personal character, one who combines the qualities of a stumper and a good mixer. and one who can make an aggressive campaign and whose abilities will insure a creditable representation in Congress. And. besides ail these qualifications. the nominee must be one whose record is unassailable, whose personal or political past will need no defense. He must be one who can start out with his party's solid and enthusiastic support and whose record and ability will command the support of the disaffected opponents.

With all due respect to the various gentlemen who are named for the position and with the statement that it can heartily support any one of them who may be named the Lahjer believes that the peculiar conditions in this district point to Hon. George AV. Faris as the available man. lie combines all the necessary qualifications, he is young and vigorous, clear-headed, a tireless worker, possessed of considerable personal magnetism and without a stain upon his personal or political record. He has all the elements to insure success and^the canvass he would make would be such an one as was never made in the Sth district. In liis nomination there would be no defense to make, 1.10 risk taken, and victory would be guaranteed.

Waived Kxaminatioii.

Indianapolis Journal: Ed Holloway. who is accused of wrecking the train at Fontauet and who recanted his alleged confessions, to-day waived a preliminary examination and his case will go before the grand jury. The defense lawyers sn.y tliey can prove beyond doubt, that Holloway was not at Fontanet at the time of the wreck, and that after the miners drove him from the freight train which arrived there at 0 111. that night, and on which lie was making his first trip as a nonunion brake man," he was seen by a half dozen persons as he walked to Rockville, fourteen miles away. Holloway says that with the excitement and danger he was in at Fontanet, followed by his arrest and talk of detective Grady, of the Big Four, he didn't know what he was saying when he made the confession.

GOOD WORDS FOR FARIS. DEATH OF I. .1. FRJSC1S.

Overton Tuesday. It seems

that these two brothers went to the rescue of their brother, and they claimed to be acting merely as peacemakers in doing what they did. There were several witnesses examined and the attorneys ably presented the case to the court. At the conclusion of the argument, the Justice found Ira Flannigan not guilty, and the charge against Homer Flannigan was dismissed.

Fell in the Creek.

Word has been received that Major L. A. Foote plunged headlong into the creek at Pine Hills the other day. The story is that he was trying to stand up in a boat, which got to tipping from side to side and as the Major got to tipping the reverse way, he tipped overboard. He was rescued clothes and all.

Death of Two Siaterw.

Miss Clara linel, an estimable young lady, living one and a half miles east of Whitesville, died July lit, 1894, of pneumonia. Her illness lasted only six days until death won the victory, which ended her terrible suffering and forever stilled the true and faithful heart. A heart-broken mother, three sisters and a brother are left to mourn the sad loss. Her remains, followed by many friends, were quietly interred in the Ilarshbarger cemetery.

Dear Clara, we miss thee when morning's bright wings Are shodding their rosy light We n.lss thee wlieu evonlng, her lirst shadow lliiigs

Till It's darkened far into the night. 11 we could but lift the mystorlous veil That bides the lair realm from us still. We feel wo could see thee In some llowery dale

She had been a sufferer from paralysis for over eight years, although pneumonia was the immediate cause of her death. She survived her sister, Clara, only a few days. Many are the tears that fall in sympathy ..for this afflicted family who have thus met their second bereave me nt.

Dear Eva, we know thou hast loft 11s. Among the l'ar unknown to dwell Hut wo lean on the strong arm of Jesus,

And list to the words, "ail is well."

Thy spirit, so long in Its bondage, Hath broken its fetters in twain, And far In that beautiful city

Keats Its Own Time,

The Monon passenger from the north has run in here ahead of time for three days an4 passed the train going north here instead of at Cherry Grove. This may seem strange to some persons, yet it is a fact. On Monday it was 17 minutes ahead, Sunday 10, Wednesday 7. The train north, however, was a few minutes late, and by the south-bound train not stopping at Cherry Grove, and a few more turns of the wheels per minute has enabled thp train to come in ahead. But it does not leave here until the regular time, so no person will get left on this account.

HE TOOK THE CHILD.

Diivltl Newland Itofnro th« Mayor for Taking MIH Chihl from 111A Former Wlfo.

The case against David Newland, Zeph Newland and Will Newland, all of Smartsburg, was up for trial before Mayor Bandel Wednesday. George D. Hurley defended the accused. The trouble arose over a four-year-old1 boy of David Newland and Mrs." Michael .Lourie, who live near Darlington. Mrs. Lourie was formerly the wife of David Newland, and on June 21, 181)3, Newland and Michael Lourie signed a contract, drawn up by S. S. Martin, of Darlington, Ind., that Newland could take the child and keep it and lie would not molest him in any way. On July 11, 181)4, Mrs. Lourie went to Mrs. Zeph Newland's, her sister, and got the boy aud took him home. Then that night the three Newlands went up and recaptured the boy and this is what caused the trial.

Mrs. Lourie testified that she got the child because her sister had said she hated him and did not wanted to have him around. That the same night the three Newlands came to her house, forced open the window with a hatchet, crawled in and demanded the boy. That Zeph Newland had held her on the bed and choked her, while David Newland, her former husband, had forcibly taken the child from her. That when the men were in the house they took the lamp, carrying a revolver, and searched for her husband, who they said they were going to kill. Her husband, however, had lied out the back door and thus escaped injury. She said that the child said he had not been fed enough and was always hungry. The testimony of her husband was about the same.

The Prosecutor here called John Newland, who said lie had not been summoned, and did not waut to testify. But he was brought forward and denied telling the Prosecutor and Mrs. Nettie Rhoades, that David Newland had told him that he had entered the house through a window. Mrs. Rhodes then testified that John Newland had said this before her and Prosecutor Moffett since he had entered the Mayor's oilice.

The defendants testified that Mrs. Lourie had taken the child from them, and that they went up there after him the same night that they knocked at the door and Mrs. Lourie opened the door. Then David stepped inside and demanded his child. Mrs. Lourie went to the bed and gathered the lad in her arms and did not want to give him up, but lie took the child from her. That she said lier husband was in the back room, and that they had 110 revolvers. They all deny breaking in the house.

At the conclusion of the evidence and the speeches of the attorneys, the Mayor fined David aud Zeph Newlin each, with costs in each case of 817. The case against Will was dismissed. Zeph was taken to jail until he pays or lurnishes a bond.

During the progress of the case the little boy would go to his mother and ask for something to eat, or a drink, and she would go out and attend to his wants. She also had a child about a year old. Mrs. Lourie said that she always did want the boy, and had nothing to do with the agreement. She has stolen him twice in the last year.

Pltranes to Avoid.

A teacher of one of our schools has prepared a list of "words and phrases to be avoid," and it is so good that it deserves a wide circulation:

Had rather, for would rather had better, for would better posted, for informed depot, for station try and go, for try to go cunning, for smart above for foregoing like I do, for as I do feel badly, for feel bad feel good, for feel well expect, for suspect nice, or real nice, used indiscriminately funny, for odd or unusual seldom or ever, for seldom or never more than you think for, instead of more than you think nicely, in answer to a question as to health just as soon, for just as lief guess, for think fix, for arrange or prepare real good, for really good try an experiment, for make an experiment it storms, for it rains and it blows not as I know, for not that I know every man and woman should do their duty a party, for a person healthy, for wholesome.

Our Stato Militia at Hammond. The Adjutant-General commends the work of the troops during the strike. He says there was not an order given to the soldiers that was not obeyed. Not a drop of blood was shed in Indiana because of conflicts between troops and strikers. So far as is known only five of the soldiers who were in the service were discharged by their employers at home. In Illinois two hundred in one regiment lost their position by responding to the order of the Governor.
