A DASTARDLY DEED.

Mrs. Alex. M. Scott, of Iisdogn, Struck By a Stone Thrown Through the Car Window.

Hon. A. M. Scott and wifa, of Ladoga, attended the state fair at Indianapolis Wednesday and at night started, home by way of the I. D. & W. railroad. When the train reached Maplewood, a suberb of Indianapolis, some miscreant threw a large stone through the car window. The ugly missle struck Mrs. Scott squarely in the back of the head and she fell over unconscious. The train was stopped and a physician was hastily summoned. Mrs. Scott remained in an unconscious condition for over four hours and for awhile it was feared that a fatal injury had been inflicted., Thursday morning,however, she rallied and is now regarded as out of danger. The police have made a determined effort to discover the identity of the man who threw the stone but have BO far been unsuccessful.

A COSTLYJNDIFFERENCE.

David Pine and Charley Reynolds Fined (or Refusing to Aid an Officer.

A couple of Sundays ago Officer McCoy attempted to arrest a drunken rowdy named Davy Doyle, who' was creating a disturbance on Green street. Doyle made a stout resistance and before many minutes Mr. McCoy realized that he had partaken of a more liberal chew than he could conveniently masticate. As there was a goodly crowd standing about enjoying the spectacle he exercised the right the law affords him and called for help. He called on Davy Pine and Charley Reynolds, a couple of husky bucks who were grinning near by, and they refused to act. 'In fact they derided the limb of the law and laughed in high glee at his discomfiture. They remarked very facetiously that Doyle had him beaten to a pulp and Davy Pine, who is a humorist, passed the hat pretending to collect money for the winner of the welter weight contest. This was all very funny while Mr. McCoy was gasping for breath and feebly dodging to avoid stepping on his tongue, but there was another side made manifest when the comedians were arrestad for refusing to aid an officer. The trial came up on Thursday and by a number of witnesses they were shown to be as guilty as sin. Both were fined and Mr. Pine concluded to go to jail. He will be out in time for the Btreet fair.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, l^!)—TWELVE PAGES.

TRAGEDY AT COLFAX-

Two jttallroaderg Lose Their Lives in a Peculiar Manner.

A "manifest" freight train on the Big Four road bound for Chicago, strudk a freight car that had rolled from a siding part way on the main track at Colfax Wednesday night and the eiib of the engine was smashed. J. W. Qraa, head brakeman, and Daniel Campbell, fireman, who were sitting on the left side of the cab, were instantly killed. .John Ryan, the engineer, who was on the right side, escaped with Blight injuries. Both Campbell and Draa lived in Indianapolis. Campbell waB 24 years old and lived with his mother. Draa was a man of family about forty years old. The news of the accident was immediately telegraphed to Indianapolis and an engine was sent to Oolfax to take the train on to Chicago.

It Js supposed the accident was due to th6 lack of a derailing switch on the siding. The car must have rolled partially on to the main track but a few minutes before the arrival of the train.

Haling in a Dog Case.

Judge West on Thursday quashed the affidavit in the case of the state vs. 'Squire Wright, of Waveland, for harboring a dog on which the license had not been paid. The case is a rather peculiar one. The penal Btatute provides that any one harboring a dog on which the tax has not been paid by a certain time shall be fined. .• The oath which the tax payer takes when giving in his property makes mention of dogs over three months old. The affidavit against Wright did not Btate that the dog in question was over three months old and Judge West held thiB a fatal omisBion. While the penal statute is silent as to the age dogs shall be before they are taxable the tax payers' oath is not and the court held the two sections should be considered together. The action of the court does not end the case against Wright, however, as the prosecutor will file a new affidavit against him by information and this will specify the age of the dog to be over three months. The canine prodtgy in question is really seven years old.

An Kcbolng Wail.

Covington JFriend: Parke county m'ust think Montgomery county iB a Klondike gold mine. Not long ago Auditor White, of Montgomery county, received the bill for the trial of Dr. Stout in the Grace McClamrock case, it was just the expense so far aa Montgomery county was concerned, and *as for

tto

The Busiest Store In Crawfordsville.

It is intimated that

she-bill will be more before the thing is over with, as the Stout case is still the bar docket of Parke county. Dr. Stout can jafever be convicted, for the evidence is not sufficient, and ty is uDjuBt to have the case dragging along in the courts. Our people are getting sick and tired of being yanked down to Rockville to tell what they don't know, about twice every year. It is quite probable that the famous case will be stricken from the docket at the next term of the Parke circuit court.

For a Divorce.

Mrs. Amanda E. Bennett, who operates a boarding house on the corner of Green and Pike streets, has been granted a divorce from JameB W. Bennett, to whom she was married at Attica in 1876 Bennett is an old soldier'and while in the service had an eyeshot out for wihch disability he receives a large pension. Mrs. Bennett testified that he would spend no money to help support her, however, and that he was cruel besides. She stated that he is a morphine fiend of the worst kind and to live with him was a burden. The statements of MrB. Bennett were borne out by other witnesses.

Captain Ketcham'g Recruiting. Captain Ketcham, of the 44th infan try,who is in the city recruiting, has so far enlisted but two men, McClure, who enlisted the first day, and Doc Myers, of Alamo.

DEVOID OF SENSATION. THE NEXT CENSUS.

The SUIwull Divorce Case Proves a Very Commonplace Transaction.

Wednesday afternoon about four clock Mrs. Thomas L. Stilwell appeared in the circuit court and through her attorneys, Crane & Anderson, filed suit for divorce. CharleB Johnson, representing the defendant, was present also and made a formal appearance stating that there would be no defense offered. Under this statement an immediate trial was had. Mrs. Stilwell took the stand and gave testimony to substantiate her complaint which charged cruel and inhuman treatment. She testified that Stilwell was in the habit of coming home drunk and disorderly. He would talk loudly and boisterously while in this condition and would reprove her in an abusive manner without cause. When she was sick the defendant neglected her and left her to take care of herself as best she could. Mrs. Stilwells' testimony was corroborated by her girl, a Miss Vancleave. Judge West promptly granted the divorce which gave Mrs. Stilwell her liberty. No alimpuy was asked.

Good 8tock.

The Chicago Drovers' Journal contains the following items of local interest: "Once again Indiana breaks t^ierec ord for high priced cattle. A lot of 17 steers, 1,586 lbs., sold at 86 90 to Swift, and 42 head, 1,456 tt3., sold to the United Dressed Beef Co., of New York, at 86 70. These cattle were 8-year-olds, and mostly choice Hereford grades. They were raised and fed by M. O. Sullivan at hia Sugar Grove stock farm, Montgomery county, Ind. The 17 cattle were pronounced by many good udgeB to be as good aB they eve? saw. They, were on full feed for twelve months. The price, 86 90, was the highest since Ohrislmas time, 1891 and '93, and was the highest in September since 1884. 'Demar&a Bros., of Waveland, Ind., sold 61 steers averaging 1,346 lbs., to Doud & Keefer at 86.40.

PART FIRST

It Will Be Taken In the Itloilth of June.

The time for taking the census is the first two weeks in June in cities of oeer 8,000 and the whole month of June for other parts of the district. The law requires that when possible, the census Bhall be taken within political divisions and the census of a division shall be taken by a man living within that division if one be available and competent. It 1b probable It will require one man to a precinct in this city to take the census. In the country districts it may require one or two men to a township. The pay for tbe service is set by law at from two to three cents a name. The director of the census sets the exaet pay.

When the last census was taken each name waB followed by a ached* ule of thirty questions. The writing of thirty replies for each parson' requires several minutest and it' must be done in ink. It is not anticipated the schedules will be as elaborate next year as they were ten years ago. In the country districts the farmers must be questioned about the crops. The men who take the census must be equipped with good common sense or they will fall down. The law require* every person to answer the questions put by the census taker, and a penalty is stipulated for stubborn people who turn the census man away from their doors even as if he were a book agent.
