GAY GOOSfc KIBBLE.

An Afternoon Marked liy Itloocly FightaThe Fruitage of the Ouart Shop's Influence.

All Monday afternoon wild and disgraceful riots waged throughout the classic precincts of Goose Nibble and blood flowed in a profusion only excelled in quantity by the bad beer dispensed from the noisome and disreputable quart shops which have so long disgraced the "community and which have been the genesis of more misery, rowdyism and crime than all the other influences for evil in the east end combined.

Early Monday afternoon bricks and clubs began to blossom and to fly ayant the dog fennel burdened breezes of the Nibble. Women and children, warned by the experiences of the past, took to the cellars and remained there until after dark while the dogs and geese in multitudinous array bolted for the open fields beyond the railroad tracks, where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest.

The first fight occurred in old man O'Neil's quart Bhop, where several young bloods came together and after a clash compromised their troubles temporarily by whipping the worshipful dispenser of beer and breaking his spectacles. Several street fights then occurred and a number of window lights were knocked out by warring factions.

It was nearly evening when the battle royal of the day occurred. From the nail factory to Andy Plunkett's quart shop came Guy Ellington, Davy Doyle, Fritz Kruger and Jack Flynn, all Justy lads and trimmed for trouble. They entered the shop and the cool foaming beer began to flow like Sugar Creek after a January thaw. Upon to this point all are agreed. After this, however, the stories differ. It is certain though that trouble began. lien Zachary and Ollie Caldwell came into evidence and a fight was soon on, the four nail factory men battling with Plunkett, Zachary and Caldwell. The cherubic Mr. Zachary was disposed of in short order, being struck on the head simultaneously by a big stone and a beer mug "Then lie smiled a sickly smile

And curled up on the floor, And the subsequent proceedings Interested him no more." Caldwell, however, fought like a young wildcat, and big Andy Plunkett bellowed lustily as his bottles, glasses and chairs crashed into ruins under the feet of the' warring hoodlums. Andy occasioDs'Uy seized a combatant ana threw him out of doors, but the ousted one would quickly return and resume hostilities. Ellington and Doyle were badly cut up by a club in Caldwell's hands but finally the pugnacious youngster turned and fled. He was closely followed by his two opponents, who caught him in Co&s' saw mill yard an& throwing him down, playfully threw a heavy board across his body and sat down thereon to rest. Plunkett was sitting dolefully among the ruins of his quart shop and wholly failed to come to the rescue, so Ollie began to squeal and squall for his father, Dan Caldwell, who lived over beyant the tracks. When Ollie unlimbered his lungs his genial parent quickly heard, and seizing a big club charged to the rescue followed by his zealous wife. The battle was again renewed and in the heat of conflict Mrs. Caldwell was struck on the head by a club and nearly killed. All the others received new bangs and bruises and finally ceased fighting because completely worn out.

This battle was barely over when Bill Squires started out to demonetize civilization in the east end. He quickly came to grief. Charging into the home of Tom Murray he was given a rough reception and rolled out into the yard, where he lay until picked up by the police later on and lodged in jail.

OfficerEd Martin was on duty on Goose Nibble Monday, but was not present during any of the fights and made no arrests. Some ninny, evidently bent on perpetrating a joke, telephoned down town that the heroic and indomiuitable Edward hath been swiped from the face of the earth by the remorseless sons of sin whom he was endeavoring to arrest. The news that Ed had been endeavoring to make an arrest and had been killed caused great astonishment and excitement down town and every buggy and bicycle started for the scene of slaughter followed by a wildly scrambling pack of pedestrians. When the Big Four station was reached Ed was found placidly, gazing at the heavena and repeating,

Starlight! Star bright! First star I've seen to-night! Some enterprising chump had taken advantage of the rumor to hustle own to the A. M. E. church where

Mrs. Martin was attending worship and there inform her of her husband's untimely demise. The poor woman began wailing and shrieking in a pitiful manner, and in this condition was loaded in a buggy and hustled off to the Nibble to gaze on Ed's mangled corpse. When the scene of conflict was reached there was no mangled corpse to gaze upon and the hysterical woman insisted that the body had been hidden somewhere in the adjacent weeds. It was with dilliculty that she was convinced that Ed was unharmed and without the scar of battle.

On Tuesday the Mayor began an investigation of the aft'air and about a dozen warrants were issued for the arrest of the participants in Monday's troubles. The charge preferred was rioting. Messrs. Doyle and Ellington appeared voluntarily and pleaded guilty. The others will appear unvoluntarily later on.

At Jamestown.

To the Editor Craw fords ville Journal. Jamestown, Ind., June 30.—The campaign was formally opened in this corner of Boone county last night when Hon. James A. Mount addressed one of the largest audiences ever gathered here to listen to a political spaaker. All parties were represented and for more than an hour Mr. Mount had the closest attention, the silence being broken only by the bursts of applause which greeted his references to McKinley and the great record of

the Republican party on all questions of vital importance to the common people. The speaker's unmasking of the so-called "crime of 1S73" was greeted with cheers, when he showed clearly that in 1S73 there was really nothing to commit a crime upon. The "Old Shady" quartette, of Lebanon, rendered some original and fltting songs which put the crowd in a good humor to receive Mr. Mount's able and convincing arguments. At the conclusion of Mr. Mount's meeting a young men's'McKinley club was organized, starting out with thirty-five members, which number will be swelled to one hundred within the next thirty days. If, as the Democratic papers say,there is any lack of enthusiasm among Republicans in Indiana Jamestown and Jackson township has enough to spare to supply the deficiency and in the language of "Old Shady" "we may be beat some other fall, but oh, no, not this year!"

TRAILED BY BLOODHOUNDS.

Iturglarg Go Through Farm HOUMD and Are Pursued Hy OtllcorB.iuxl DORS.

On Sunday three tramps appeared near the Vandalia trestle just north of town, and passed the day fishing in the creek. Sunday night they passed in the old Tobin barn near the trestle, and Monday morning kept hid there. They left the barn about the middle of the afternoon and proceeded to the home of George Long. Both Mr. and Mrs. Long were away and the thieves quickly forced an entrance to the house. They stole Mr. Long's wedding suit and his next best suit, his gold watch and a number of little articles of value. They then left and struck out for the residence of Newt Campbell. They evidently supposed that everyone was absent here also and were creaking softly up to the house when discovered by members of the family who were at home. The moment the rascals saw the house vi as open and occupied by the family they turned and ran. Proceeding to the home of William Smith on the Smartsburg road they found the family away and went through the house. Here they ate a quantity of canned fruit, stole some clothes and turned everything topsy turvy. The crime was discovered before dark and Roe Miller and his bloodhounds were called from Darlington. Officer Grimes and the Bannister brothers were also called

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION HALL. The Colosseum building, the scene of the Democratic national convention, is 700 feet long, 300 feet wide ana covers 5 1-2 acres. The roof is built

principle and there are no supporting posts to obstruct the view. The main hall will seat about 10,000 people. In many respects the Colosseum is not a thing of beauty, but it will seat many^thousands, and that is the main point. It is to be used for circus performances, athletic events, celebrations and tilings of that sort, and its projectors say it will be the means of bringing at least one of tho national conventions to Chicago every four years. It fell down once, when nearly completed, but tho detects which caused the collapse have been remedied.

out to join in the chase of the miscreants. At dusk the dogs were put on the scent and at once struck the trail at Long's house. They tugged fiercely at the chains, by which their keepers held them, and plunged forward giving vent to sharp, bloodcurdling yelps. Quite a crowd of bicyclers had assembled to witness the start, but as the dogs took across the fields and down a long ravine the wheelmen were quickly lost. The dogs were baying deeply on the trail, however, and could be heard for almost a mile, their peculiar cries fairly chilling those who heard. The dogs went straight to the Campbell house and then to the Smith place. Then a circuit of several miles was made and the tired and weary officers finally found that the trail was headed for the Junction. At the barn on the Widow Buck place a halt had been made by the thieves, but they had not tarried long. The trail led thence to the site of the old heading factory, and was finally lost on the Vandalia tracks at 2 a. m., tho burglars evidently having boarded the southbound freight which had left only a few minutes before the dogs and officers arrived. Several trains were coming and leaving just then and the police held up several parties of tramps in their search for the guilty ones. One pair of negroes were followed and fired upon but they finally escaped in,the darkness. The officers in the towns south were notified to look out for the thieves, but no word has thus far been received.

Fire Works llhetper,'

A noisy celebration of the glorious Fourth will not be an expensive luxury this year. Nearly every style of pyrotechnic deviltry and danger has been so reduced in price that the poorest freeman in all the land may easily obtain a supply large enough to transport himself and all his friends across the border of "The Great Divide" in a scorching stream of smoke and spaiks.

The Hostetter Keanlon.

The reunion of the Hostetter family will be held July 13 and not July 10 as announced.

PART FIRST

Frank M. Davis ntid Miag Mary IJ. Dillman, loar Mutes, are Happily Married hy ltev. S. II. Crelglitou.

The wedding which occurred at the

home of Mrs. Dillman, on south Ci^een street, Tuesday evening was naturally a very quiet one, both bride and groom being deaf mutes. Only the immediate relatives were present and at 8 o'clock the estimable young couple were married by Rev. S. H. Creighton, of the Christian church. The minister and contracting parties read the marriage service together from the ritual and the bride and groom nodded assent to the interrogations made by the minister. The service was a most interesting and impressive one. The happy young couple were made the recipients of a number of elegant presents and will go to housekeeping at once in their new home on Walnut street. Those present from out of the city were Mr. and Mrs. Paul Brown, of Indianapolis, and Mr. and Mrs. George Dillman, of Waveland.

Sold Them Out.

Brown's Valley had quite a sensation the other day and as a result there are ""i very many citizens with rather lacerated feelings and an abnormal desire to get action on some one. Near the village is a wild wood known as the Wilkinson thicket and a chance wanderer through the place found what was evidently a newly-made grave in a most out of the way place. The news was quickly spread and rumors of murder foul burdened the breezes all over that end of the county. A great crowd collected to witness the exhuming of the mutilated remains and considerable emulation was manifested by the brawny yeomen in the desire to wield the spade. The dirt fairly Jlew and as every shovelful was lifted tho crowd gave a shuddering gasp in anticipation of a ghastly sight. However, hard pan was soon struck and the disgusted congregation slowly awoke to a realization that some practical joker had been "stringing" them. Tho man who found that grave is suffering social ostracism just at present.

Campbell's Nerve.

Indianapolis News: It is thought that C. J. Campbell and Efiie Culver, who are supposed to have left this city together last Tuesday evening, have been located in Chicago by the detectives. A man with a girl corresponding to the description of MisB Culver have been found, but not identified as the person wanted. Mrs. Campbell is in a much better condition iind, with her children, will leave to-day for Elkhart, lnd., where she has relatives.

Mrs. Campbell stated yesterday that she wished to leave the city as soon as possible, so as to get her children out of d'anger. While in a rage a short time ago Campbell told her that if he ever left her he would manage in some way to take his oldest child with him. She is afraid that an attempt will be made to kidnap the child and is for that reason keeping a very close watch over her.

As to the Sale of Tobacco.

The Nicholson law as originally introduced was a very restrictive bill, and prohibited the sale of anything but liquors in a Baloon. Many of the legislators thought that the sale of mineral waters, pop, etc., should be permitted. On page 843 of the House Journal, covering the discussion of the Nicholson bill, the following appears: "Mr. Longwell offered the following

amendment: j1 "Mr. Speaker: "I move to amend section 2 of House Bill No. 105 by adding the words 'Provided that nothing in the provisions of this act shall be construed to forbid the sale of cigars and tobacco in such place of business.' "Which was adopted."
