"Tucker is a Fighter."
Tipton Tribune: Dr. Tucker, auditor of Hamilton county, engaged in a fight with Ves Bray, a farmer, yesterday evening. The Noblesville Ledger speaks of it as a "personal encounter," inasmuch as each smote the other several times the best way to explain matters would be to say the two gentlemen had a fight. Everybody can catch the meaning of the latter term and there would be •no room for doubt. The ruption was the result of an old feud of several years standing. In Kentucky feuds end in death, but Hamilton county they terminate in black eyes and a police court assessment of SO. SO.

LEW WALLACE SDES.
ltights to the Novel "Ben-Hut" Are Involved.
The New York World yesterday morning says: Gen. Lew Wallace and his publishers, Harper Bros., have brought suit against the firm of Herbert J. Riley Bros., of Bradford, England, and of this city. When "BtnHur" was printed by tne -Harpers they reserved all rights to the publication and dramatization of the novel. Within a year or two they sold the dramatization rights to Clark & Cox, a western firm. Riley Bros., who made stereopticons, spent 85,000 in getting out an illustrated lecture on the novel. Clark & Cox found out last winter that these lectures, with magic lantern accompaniment, depicting scenes in "Ben-Hur" were being given throughout Michigan and Wisconsin. They objected and the suit is the result. First, however, they bought the entire lecture outfit. They claim to have been damaged to the extent of 810,000. The case came up in the United States circuit court, but was adjourned to May 1. M. D. Wilber is counsel for the defense, and they contend that the lecture was no infringement of the right to dramatize. Augustus T. Gurlitz represents the plaintiffs.
Mount for Governor.''
The following letter appeared in last Friday's Indianapolis News: "With you kind permission I would like to give a few reasons why I think the delegates to the Republican State convention which meets at Indianapolis May 7, should choose as their standard-bearer the Hon. James A. Mount, of Montgomery county. "While I shall enthusiastically support the nominee of the convention, yet, lilte many others, I have my preference. A son of poverty and toil, brought up on the farm, and accustomed to all the laborious duties that attend the farmer's life, while young in life, we find Mr. Mount entering the Union army, in which he gave over three years of brave and patriotic service for his country. At the close of the war he spent what money he had accumulated while in the service, in acquiring an education. After «this he leased a farm and began the battle of life almost penniless. But by honesty, industry and good judgment he now owns one of the finest farms in Indiana.
During all these years he has ever been alive to the interests of the Republican party. Mr. Mount is a very fluent speaker and a very convincing one. In the four years he was in the State Senate he was considered one of the ablest debaters in that honorable body. He has spoken in nearly every county in the State before farmers' institutes. Acquainted, as he is, with all the interests and needs of the farmer, he would advocate legislation that would be of great benefit to them. Yet always advocating that which would be for the greatest number.
Mr. Mount is an earnest believer in education and all that tends to lift humanity to a higher standard of civilization. He has been a member of the Presbyterian church for over thirty years, and stands high in its councils. In Mr. Mount we have a man who, as overnor, would hold the honor and good name of Indiana above reproach. "I firmly believe him to be by far the oest-fitted man for Governor. Now, as the convention day is drawing near, I would urge upon his friends, and especially the farmers, the necessity of "hustling from now on, and use all honorable means to secure his nomination. 'I believe that his nomination will result in his triumphant election in November, and, that as Governor, he would add honor and luster to our beloved State.
