THE FUNERAL OF GEO- HEATON.
Services Were lielil at I mliauaiolis lly 'Kev. Ir. It. V. Hunter.
Terre Haute Exjtrcss: E. J. Ileaton returned from Irvington yesterday here he was called to attend the funeral of his youngest son, George, who was drowned at Columbia, Ivy., Monday. George Heaton lost his life while bathing Monday in Russell creek, near Columbia, Ky., where his brother, Frank G. Heaton, conducts a weekly paper. George Heaton went to Columbia from this city last February and had organized a class in elocution at that place and also had an engagement singing in one of the leading churches. On the day of the tragedy he went in company with a young friend to bathe and waded into the water up to his arm pits. Suddenly he stepped off a shelf on the bank and sank in fifteen feet of water. His companion says he rose but once, when he shoved a plank to the drowning man, but he was powerless to save himself and went down. The body was found shortly after and prepared for burial.
George Heaton, while here, was actively engaged in Y. M. C. A. and Christian Endeavor work and wts a reader and entertainer of great abili ty. He was of a retiring disposition and had a host of friends to whom the news of his death was a decided shock. The funeral services were held Thurs-
iuuciai dolviuoo
day in the Central Christian church at
TM
Indianapolis, conducted by Rev. R. Hunter, formerly of this city, assisted by Rev. Dr. Weiss, of Indianapolis. The remains were placed in the vault at beautiful Crown Hill cemetery, temporarily. Frank J. Heaton, brother of the deceased, accompanied the remains from Columbia to Indianapolis. He will return to Kentucky this week accompanied by his mother, who will remain with him through the summer.
Here's a Precedent for Us.
The appellate court overruled the petition for a rehearing in the case of Frank Hamilton against the state of Indiana. Hamilton was a driver for the Standard Oil company. He was fined for hauling over a free gravel turnpike, in wet weather, an oil wagon, which, with its tank and load, was so heavy that it cut through the gravel and "stalled" his team of three horBes. He took the position that the oil in the tank was his only "load," and as that weighed less than 2,500 pounds, that he was not violating the law, however much his wagon and tank might weigh. The appellate court said that his oil tank was a part of his load, and declared that the Standard Oil company had no greater privilege of cutting up the roads with heavy loads than ihe farmers who liveci beside them.
Shooters Go Home.
The Indiana trap shooters returned to their several homes last Thursday, all of them declaring the tournament to have been a most pleasant and successful one. While the weather was bad it was not bad enough to spoil the sport. W. A. Wildhack, of Indianapolis, who won the diamond badge event, was a dark horse for the honor, having appeared in only one previous event, and then not in very strong form. He was evidently laying for that diamond badge and he won it very neatly. Dr. Britton and John Deitrich were expected to make a struggle for first place but they were left out in the chilly by the dark horse. Apperson, who won it last year, was not here, and Voris, who won it the year before, had too much to do looking after the shoot to make any particular showing.
A Campaign Relic.
Ladoga Leader: While digging the south Washington street sewer the men found burried in the hard dirt of the street, down be)ow the gravel line, about ten feet of the trunk of an ash tree. It was standing on end and in a good state of preservation.
It was identified by Pet Daugherty and others as the remains of a pole erected there by the Whigs in the campaign of '5(5. Uncle Billy White, who died only ahort time ago, cut the pole and hauled it to town, and John Parker, long since dead spliced

The company had killed a steer for Daniel and had wantonly and maliciously burned up on«5 lordsville participated in of his meadows. The Clover Leaf is a mighty bad and reprehensible concern.
THE PICNIC.
The lilacknimths ami Carriage MaUera Have a Big Time fr-uiulay at the Fair Grounds.
The picnic of the blacksmiths and carriage makers at the fair grounds Sunday was a great success. The train from Indianapolis arrived on schedule time in the morning bringing about three hundred guests, and there were also small delegations from other towns. The Indianapolis people were met by the band and with the Crawfordsville workmen as an escort a parade of the streets was made. The parade was led by a mammoth lloral bprseshoe. At the fairgrounds Mayor Elmore, Colonel Travis and J. A. Griffin made addresses of welcome and drills were givon by the Ben-Hur zouaves and the Odd Fellows' cadets. Each company

TAIL HOLT.
Little Fred Alexander Stops a Kuuaway Horse By Sheer Grit.
Monday afternoon shortly before 4 clock the horse attached to Mahorney's delivery wagon took fright while Btanding in front of the store and ran off. Going at full jump east on Main street he dragged the heavy wagon against a buggy which stood in front of Sloan's grocery. In this buggy Bat little Fred Alexander, a ten-year-old son of Tom Alexander, who lives
011
the Hence Coleman farm.
This frightened the Alexander horse and he, too, ran off. He plunged on to Water and then turned north. The little boy reached out as the horre ran and catching him by the tail held on for dear life and yelled "Whoa." The wheels of the buggy had been demolished by the collision with the furniture wagon and the vehicle was a mere wreck, but in this the youngster sat supreme and held on like grim death. The horse plunged and reared but the tugging at his -tail continued. He was bothered and his pace finally slackened so that at the corner of Market and Water streets Lon Young was able to stop the animal.. The little boy escaped without injury.
The furniture wagon horse which caused all the excitement was stopped on east Main street without effecting any more damage.

BRAXTON CASH DEAD.
He Sulleuly Falls Fainting in Tlis l*"KRy and Kxptres Almost Immediately.
Saturday afternoon Braxton Cash, a prominent farmer, living five miles southwest of the city, died very suddenly. He was in a surrey and driving north on Green street with his wife, a young son and daughter. When directly in front of the £,Music Hall he suddenly exclaimed to his wife: "Oh! help me, I am dying." He dropped the
reinB
presented with a
handsome Hag. There were a few athletic contests during the day but the great majority of the people gave themselves up to having a general good time among the trees. In the afternoon there were several thousand people on the grounds and hundreds came in from the country. The day was an ideal one and all who attended had a fine time. There were no mishaps of consequence during the day and the very best of order prevailed not only on the grounds but about town. The
and his head* fell back in
to the arms of Mrs. Cash, who rose quickly from her place on the back seat. She began to fan him and called to Fred Harrington, who was on the sidewalk. Several other gentlemen ran quickly) toj aid and the horse was led to the otlice of Ristine & Barcus. Mr. Cash, as pale as death, was lifted tenderlyiout and carried to the consultation room. Those who saw him at once] realized that he was a dying 1 man, and, indeed, he lived but a few moments after being placed on tho couch.
He was neverijconscious after his exclamation toihis wife. The family had left home about one o'clock and the first thing Mr. Cash didgon reaching town was to secure some medicine for himself. He|g had been troubled with heart disease for several years and|had been complaining Saturday morning of his condition.
Mr. Cash was about 60 years of age and was a man esteemed.'jby everyone. He was raised in the south and during the war served in the confederate army.

Alliauce Against Law Breakers.
Indiana cities have formed a defensive alliance against law breakers and fugitives from justice. The mayors and chiefs of police have entered into an agreement which means the extension of local police pasterns to coyer entire stat§ Tjje great defect of the Indiana local police system in the past has been that law breakers would go from one city to another and with comparative safety escape arrest. The plan is to k3ep up a series of reports from town to town, and complete co-operation of all police and constabulary forces. Every effort will be made to detect fugitives and return them without reward consideration. Indianapolis will cooperate. The new association is endorsed by the governor and state officials.
Fell In a Faint.
About noon Monday Miss Vera Kirkpatrick, daughter of J. W. Kirkpatrick, walked out to the residence of W. W. Morgan to see her aunt.

VIGOROUS PROSECUTION.
The State Will 1'ut the Wells Gate Through lor All There in in It.
The prosecution of Alfred Wells for the murder of his children will not be the mere form that most people have supposed. It will be vigorously prosecuted and the state already has a theory on which it is at work which excludes the idea of insanity. Judge West and Messrs. Reeves and Kennedy held a consultation and it waB decided to push the case for all there was in it as a matter of justice to all parties concerned and the good of the community. In after years it can not be said that justice was thwarted by a farcial trial of a man who feigned insanity. The state

SHOT TO KILL.
Ed Dixon Endeavors to Put Out the Light* of the Soulful Harry Orme.
Monday afternoon shortly after 3 o'clock a fracas occurred near the Monon station which came near ending the earthly career of Harry Orme. Ed Dixon, who works in Crane's lunch house, fired a revolver point blank at the young man intending to bore him, but in the excitement he missed his mark, the breast, and the bullet struck Orme in the leg. The young man saved his meat house from further injury by inglorious flight. Both men were soon under arrest. Dixon told the following story to THE JOURNAL: "I am a hard working, sober man, but some time ago I married Florence Watson, who was once pretty tough, but who is now all right. We live near the Monon station, but are getting ready to move aB we don't like thejneighborhood. Monday afternoon Orme came to my bouse drunk and walked right in. First daBh out of the box he insulted my wife and I ordered him out, He wouldn't go BO I ehoved him. Then he grabbed up a flower pot of mine, a nice one with a fine flower in it, and he threw it right at my head. Then he threw another and then a big rock. You can go down to my house now and see rocks and flowers and dirt all over it where this monkey threw at me. When I saw I didn't stand any Bhow I pulled my gun and popped him. That's all there is about it."
Orme refused to talk. His wound is on the left leg in the calf and whilQ a p&ioful one is not dangerous at all,
