BOUND OVER.

Tlie Cage of Ed Bartholomew Comet) Up Before Jostice Long, at Ladoga, and HIB O.-tse Will Be Tried in the

Circuit Court.

Dumont Kennedy returned from Ladoga on Thursday, where he ahas been representing the state in the case against Ed Bartholomew, who tied up a Midland train on a swith because the road owed him money. The case came up in the court of 'Squire Long and all Ladoga and surrounding country waB in attendance at the trial. The feeling is very bitter against the Midland among the people down there and everybody was on Bartholomew's side. M, M. Batchelder defended Bartholomew and the way he went after the Ragweed Route won the applause of the spectators, and if popular opinion had been allowed to count for anything Bartholomew would have been made a present of a lot in .Ladoga and a monument erected to him as a public benefactor. Judge Long, however, looked at the matter from its legal aspect and stated that he would have to bind the defendant over to the circuit court for trial. Bartholomew will have no trouble in securing bondsmen to go bail for him.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 189!)-TWELVE PAGES.

HOBSON OUTDONE-

Mr. Smith, of Lafayette, Late of Mantanzag, Cuba, an a Kisser, Leads the World.

A large crowd congregated at the Monon station on Thursday to

Bee

Company C, of Lafayette, pass through. The company has been in Cuba and has just been discharged from service. The train was twenty minutes late and on the end were hitched three coaches containing the Lafayette soldiers. The engine was profusely decorated with bunting and flags and the three coaches were trimmed with palmetto and inscribed with the legend, "From Matanzas, Cuba." A committee was present from Lafayette to meet the train and also ten of the members of the company who had attended the reunion of Company in this city Wedneseay. About fifteen of the Company boys went up with Company to participate in the festivities at Lafayette and to act as an escort. A number of the Crawfordsville girls who have friends in the company were at the depot when the train pulled in and the Lafayette boys, who are all profound admirers of the young ladies of the Athens, gave them the glad hand in earnest. One little freckled faced lad who bore the euphonious cognomen of Had Smith proved the he?o of the occasion and out-Hobsoned Hobson in a manner that made old bachelors like Mace Townsley turn green with envy. In fact Hobson would not have been in it for a single round with Smith and the way he went after the girls was a caution. He smacked the yo".ng ladies so effusively that some of the company thought it was the crack of a Mauser rifle and began looking around for weapons with which to defend themselves.

It will be remembered that this is the company that was noted for its general cussedness during their entire term of enlistment and were familiarly designated as the "hell-raisers from the banks of the Wabash."

Bugenbark Case AlUrmvd.

The case of Henry Busenbark et al. vs. Henry Clements et al. has been affirmed by the appellate court. The court's opinion is epitomized as follows: "(l) Where the officers of a city and the life tenant of a tract of land opened a street through it under an agreement to which the remainder men were not parties, and without any notice either actual or constructive to them, nor any proceedings against such remainder men, the opening of the street is void aB to the latter. (2) A void act' is not capable of ratification, but a person may be estopped by his conduct to deny its validity. (3) A person is estopped to set up the invalidity of the opening of a street through hi6 premises as a defense to an assessment for the cost of improving it, where the improvement was made by regular proceedings to which be was a party, and he offered no objection until after the expense of completing the improvement had been incurred."

G. A, It. Order.

W. C. Johnson, senior vice-comman-dar-in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, has issued an order concerning Memorial Day. The order calls attention to the provision of the thirtieth national encampment that President Lincoln's Gettysburg addreBB be made a feature of Memorial Day exercises and directB commanders of posts to have it read in connection with the exercises of the day. The acting com-mander-in-chief says: "The year closing with the next Memorial Day has added new strength and power to the nation and new glory to the flag. The worth and the fame of the Americ&n soldier and the sailor have been glorI iously advanced. The achievements of the days of the sixties still remain and have rendered possible the glorious victories won in the interest of liberty and humanity."

Good iriHhing.

The banks of the creek are lined with fishermen these days and their luck is reported to be good. There are only a few more days for fishing beI fore the new law'goes into effect and the disciples of Izaak Walton are making hay while the sun shines. A young married couple living in the south part of the city were out fishing near Remley'e Tuesday and juBt as the fish had begun to bite good the lady was so unfortunate as to make a misstep and fall into the creek from a log on which she was standing. The husband gallantly plunged in to her rescue and both were soaking wet when they reached the bank. The experience so disgusted them that they left fish, lines and bait and hurried to town to get some dry wearing apparel.

Over the Vandalia.

A number of soldiers pasBed through the city on Thursday over the Vandalia enroute for Logansport.

OVER CLODFELTER'S ROAD.

A Gas City Attorney is Suing For a $3,000 Fee.

Indianapolis Journal: A suit growing out of the attempt of Indianapolis promoters to build an electric railway from Anderson to Marion, with the ultimate object of connecting these cities with Indianapolis by the same line, is on trial in room 1, superior court. John Hadley, of Gas City, is Buing Noah Clodfelter, Frank Maus and William R. Pierson for $3,000 attorney's fees alleged to be due him. When the uncompleted road went into the hands of a receiver the company, of which Clodfelter was at the head, claimed it waB entitled to S80.000 which had been expended in building the line. It is averred that Olodfelter employed Attorney Hadley to arrange affairs

BO

that the promoters might

put in a bid of 85,000 at the receiver's sale and get the road back into their hands. It is averred that the attorney accomplished what was desired of him and the promoters secured possession of the road by dismissing their claim of 880,000. Hadley held that his services were worth $3,000 and brought suit to collect the amount. The defendants, Maus and Pierson, asBert that Clodfelter was without authority to represent them in the deal with Attorney Hadley.

Mr. Thompson on Georgia Lynching. Indianapolis Journal: Though Maurice Thompson was born in Indiana, his family moved to the south when ho was very young, and he lived within a hundred miles of Newnan, Ga., where the burning of a negro occurred the other day, until after the civil war. "Though all good men oppose lynching in theory because it breaks over the law," said Mr. Thompson yesterday, "we must acknowledge that there were mitigating circumstances in this recent horror. If a man, white or black, 6liould murder a man in Indianapolis and ravish his wife in her husband's blood a mob would form and the man would be killed at once. It is horrible to burn and mutilate a man, as was done to this negro, but men become fiends when they are maddened by such a crime as thiB negro committed. "And let me say," Mr. Thompson coatinued, emphatically, "that lynching in the south will go on until the outraging of women ceases. Whatever we may say or write in deprecation it will go on. I only fear that some bright morning we will learn that the whites of the south have risen up and wiped out the negroes, innocent iwid guilty. Newnan was a beautiful town as I remember it. It had a girlB' college and the people of the town were refined. It was hard for me to believe that such a horrible lynching could occur in Newnan."

Hie New Fish Law Explained. The Btate fish commissioner, in response to a question relative to fishing in ponds and bayous during May and June, has this to say: "The law prohibits fishing in any way by any device in May and June, and bayous and overflow ponds are considered streams. This is the law as I must enforce it. You will see that as long as hook and line fishing is permitted there can be no protection for the fish in the spawning season. Legitimate fishermen would not damage the fish with hook and line, but men will use all kinds of rifles, wire snares and every device for capturing the fish and then claim they were 'caught with hook and line. To prohibit fishing in any way, shape or form in those months meanB protection and that means propagation. When your sportsmen fully understand that portion of the law, they will agree that it is better to forego legitimate fishing at that period than to have no protection whatever."

Union Township .Enumeration. The enumeration of the school children in Union township is about completed and will be turned over to Supt. Walkup on next Monday. There will be again of about two hundred pupils in the township. One hundred of this number, or in the neighborhood of this, will come off the city enumeration, they being transferred pupils who in the past have not been credited to the township, but have appeared on the city lists.

D. C. Griener Dead.

D. C. Griener died Wednesday at his home in Terre Haute. Mr. Griener will be remembered here for his fight made against the late R. B. F. Peirce when he was running for his second nomination for congress. Mr. Griener was

ex-postmaster of Terre Haute and opposed Mr. Peirce because he was not appointed to a second term in office.

PART FIRST

COMPANY ANNIVERSARY

A Large Crowd is In Attendance and a Splendid Time la Enjoyed By the Boys ,, In Blue and Their Friends.

The first reunion of the members of Company M- was held at I. O. O. F. hall Wdenesday evening. It was in commemoration of their entrance into the United States army at the beginning of the late unpleasantness, and, though none of its members was buried on bloody battlefields it was through no fault of theirs, as all of them were ready and anxious to get to the front during active hostilities in Cuba, and if need be, die for their country. The Daughters of Rebekah served a very elegant supper to which all did justice.' After the banquet there were speeches by Captain Wilhite, Captain M. V. Wert, Major C. M. Travis, Lieut. Harney and others present, and the cccasion will long remain a pleasant memory in the minds of those present. Reminiscences of the long and trying stay at Chickamauga were told and -i the bond of comraderie was made stronger by the patriotic utterances and the spirit of good fellowship that prevailed. The reunion will no doubt be kept as an annual anniversary in the future and can not help but be a benefit to the members of the company and their friends. Nearly all the members of the company were present and also a number of the boys of other companies from ad lining towns.

After tie speeches the hall was cleared and those of the company w*ho danced spent the remainder of the evening in this pleasant enjoyment.
