The complaint will charge that the plaintiff was formerly a resident of Hamilton, Ohio, and while there saw an advertisement of the Indiana Life Insurance Co., asking for an agent for the gas belt territory. Milliken answered the advertisement and soon received a letter asking him to call at their home office in Indianapolis. He did so and secured the agency, his headquarters to be in this city. He came to Richmond and opened his office, bringing with him letters of introduction and recommendation to the prominent business men of the city. He acted as their agent here and at the same time was general agent for the gas belt territory.

Shortly before his arrest he states that he received two letters the same day. One was from the company, instructing him to go to Gas City and establish a. branch agency, and the other was from his sweatheart, Miss Catherine Burridge, of Hamilton, who was visiting at the time in Cra wfordsville. She was sick aDd desired that he come to 6ee her. He naturally decided that he ought to go to Crawfordbville, and at the same time knew that he would be expected to go to Gas City. He decided to go to the former place first and then stop on his way back and attend to the the company's business. In order to have the necessary money he drew a check on his company and started to the Second National Bank to have it cashed. On his way he met Prank Girardin, whom he asked to accompany hi in to the bank and introduce him, as he was not known. He did so and put his signature on the check.

A .Surprise Party.

Tuesday night, Sept. 21, Ward Enoch, oldest son of George Enoch and wife, was the victim of a surprise, it being his 17th birthday. His parents planned a burprise for him bv inviting several of his young friends in. Ward was decoyed away from home by his friend John Jackman and when he returned found the house full of his schoolmates and friends. Ward tried hard not to appear surprised but actions speak plainer than words. After chatting awhile refreshments were 6erved, then all joined iu some merry games till a late hour, when they departed to their respective homes, wishing Ward many happy returns of his birthday. Those present were: Misses Clara Spencer, Minnie Hinford, Josie McCoy, Alice and Emma Sands, May Barley, Fannie Long, May Foust and Grace Breaks. Messrs. Frank Breaks, Charlie Lee, Ashley Cox, Elmer and Arthur Huffman, Will and Sam Reckords, Wilmer Milner, Floyd Hutton, Ward Hutton, Arthur Hole, Harry Robertson, Fred Barley, Bert Wilkinson, Horace Spencer and John Jackman. A GUHST.

Dissolved Partnership,

The law partnership formerly existing between M. E. Clodfelter and Joe L. Davis has by mutual cousent, been dissolved.

HE OUIINAL

CRAWFORDSYILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1897—TWELVE PAGES.

Thomas II. Milli-

ken, who was released from jail yesterday after the grand jury failed to indict hiin, will file a suit, through his attorney, John Robbins, against the Indiana Life Insurance company of Indianapolis for 810,00(1 damages. His suit will be on the ground of breach of contract and will be filed in a few days.

25 Cents To 1898..

and the company refused to honor it. It was then returned here and 6ent to Mr. Girardin for collection. Milliken was then arrested for obtaining money under false pretense and was bound over to the circuit court. The grand jury made a thorough investigation of the case and refused to bring an indictment against him. He was released and at once consulted his attorney and decided to sue the company for breach of contract.

The company claims that Milliken was 'not their authorized agent and will make that their defense.

Stout's Cast* Will Not Come to 'I rial Next Week lit Kockville.

It is practically settled that the case of Dr. W. R. Stout, charged with complicity in causing the death of Grace McClatnrock, will not be begun at Rockville next Wednesday as arranged. It seems that the Doctor's wife is down with

typhoid fever and

her condition necessitates her husband's presence. Judge White, at Rockville, was apprised of the State of affairs Wednesday and agreed that if a motion for a continuance should be fixed next week, that he would grant it. It is not likely, therefore, that the case will come to trial before next year.

K. OF P. REUNION.

Preparations to Make It tin* Jjtii^osl mid Most Mieressful lOver Held In ho County.

The Knights of Pythias are making great preparations for their reunion in this city on the 30th, and the occasion promises to be one of great interest. There will be a number of companies of the U. R. K. of P. from other cities in attendance who, with the lodges of this county and local companies, will make a fine parade at

:30 a. m. The

order of Knights of Pythias has grown to be one of the leading orders of the land, if not the most prominent one, especially in Indiana. It is very strong and has the reputation of doing more for its members and their families in a fraternal way than any other order, and for that reason has become very popular with the people. In Montgomery county there are 11 lodges, which average over one hundred members to the lodge, constituting a membership of more than eleven hundred in the county who will be present with their families. The Knights ask all members, citizens and business men to decorate their places of business on the 30th and assist in every way they can to make the town attractive to the visitors. The order of Rathbone Sisters is very strong also in this county and they intend to take a prominent part in the reunion thia

SENATORIAL CANDIDATES.

The.v Wonl| All Ite Happier II' It We're Not For iioveriior Mount.

Indianapolis

A'cirs:

Tho announced

candidates for the Republican nomination for the uited States Senate would be happier, the politicians say, if they could be assured that the party will not insist upon Governor Mount being a candidate. While the Governor has not by word or deed indicated that lie aspires to go to the Senate, representatives of the party throughout the State are continually suggesting him as the most available man, and the impression is general that he will be forced into the race.

One of the influential Republican politicians of the State, a man who has something to do with tho making of Senators, said to-day that the logic of events pointed to the Governor as biie favorite candidate for the Senate.

It might as well be understood now as later," said he, "that if the Governor does conclude to be a candidate, the other iien who have aunounced themselves will not stand any show. was looking over the field only today aud 1 set down ten counties— doubtful counties—that can be carried by the Governor and not carried by by any other Republican before the people at this time. Most of tiie counties I have in mind are mining counties, aud are close politically. It may not be done, but it would be good politics for the Republican State convention next year to nominate the Governor for Senator. He would add strength to the campaign, and pitted against ex Governor Matthews, or any other Democrat, would win."

Representatives of the party from out over the State say that the friends of the other candidates are concerned over the situation. It is related that supporters of Lew Wallace are saying that there is no cause for alarm, as there is a compact between the Governor and Mr. Wallace to the effect that the Governor, being from the same county as Mr. Wallace, will not be a candidate for the Senate. Inquiry here shows that the Governor has not entered into any such compact his friends say that he does not believe in compacts, and never has, and never will enter into any agreements, compacts or "deals" as 'ong as he is in politics.

From Ft. Wayne comes the story that Robert S. Taylor may not have the cordial support of all the Republican politicians in the Twelfth district, and it is pointed out that without such support he cannot hope to make much headway with his campaign. It is remarked by leading representatives of the party that it was not to be expected that the Republicans of Ft. Wayne and the Twelfth district would be unanimous in their support of Mr. laylor or any one else they never did stand together in the support of any one, it is averred, and it is pointed out that is one reason they fare so poorly iu State politics. At this time«there are at least throe factions in the Republican party at Ft. Wavne, and it is said it will be next to impossible to persuade them to pull together for the support of Mr. Taylor.

It i.s being remarked here that

Lieu|ten

tenant-Governor Haggard has finally been able to see that the election of Governor Mount to the Senate would be 11 good thing for him (Haggard), as lie wiuld become Governor. 'ring the first few months of the Governor's term, the Lieutenant-Governor, who publishes a paper at Lafeyette, was inclined to be severe in his criticisms of th5 new Govern".r's policy. He was especially chagrined because the Governor did not turn out all tho Democrats iu the benevolent institutions. 11. is related that about two mouths ago sbtne one whispered in the left ear of the Lieut* nant Governor that his play" was to n.aUe the people believe the Governor's administration was one of the "best 011 earth," and the politicians have taken notice that for some time the LieutenantGovernor, through his paper, has been commending the Governor, and holding him up before the people as a man who is worthy of a seat iu the United Slates Senate,

Governor Mount, to all appearances, is not interested in the talk of making him a candidate for the Senate. It is authoritatively stated that he will not announce Jiimself as a candidate. While he refuses to discuss the situation, his friends say he holds to the view that the people elected him Governor, and that th«(y are entitled to his services in that ollice for four years.

When the Trustee Will Ite 111 His Olllco.

Sam D. Symmes, trustee of Union township, during the next two months, will be absent from his ollico considerably visiting the schools and ssoing the fall road work, and in order not to have any person disappointed by comir*g to his ollice and finding him away, he desires to say that he will be at his oOico sure on Fridays and Saturdays. Al60 he will be there some on other days, but this will depend upon the amount of township business to be looked after in the country. He believes that in order to have successful schools and good roads, etc that a trustee must go and see how matters stand, and not attempt to attend to all the township duties sitting in tho office. Yet, it might be that he would be forced to be away one of tho days named by urgent township business, but he will endeavor to always bo there on these days during the time named.

A Tribute.

Wm. G. McCluro was born Aug. 27, 18-15, at Sidney, Ohio. He came to Indiana in 1859. Oct. 8, 1801, he voluntarily enlisted in tho Union army, in whose service ho continued until he was discharged Dec. 14, 1805. January 28, 1808, ho was married to Martha E. Chambers, and to them were born children,icight of whom survive him. He died Sept. 21, 1897. He was an inveterate reader, a good neighbor, and a patient and affectionate husband and father. For five months ho had been a great sufferer from a cancer in his mouth, no doubt feeling the truth of Lowell's lines: "Life is the jailer death the angel sent to draw the unwilling bolts and set us free."
