In the circuit court last Friday Judge West whetted up his judicial meat ax and severed the nuptial knot that bound Mattie Swearingen to Francis M. Swearingen. Mrs. SweariDgen alleged some pretty harsh things ia regard to the recreant Francis and as he was not present to stick up for his rights they were no doubt true. Mbttie said Francis had absolutely refused to contribute a farthing to keep the family-table supplied with roasting ears and garden sass for the past three years and that his daily repast was spiritous and malt fluids, he being an habitual liquidarian. She said the name of Swearingen made her extremely weary and she asked the judge that her maiden-name of Albertson be restored to her and that obliging official granted her request.

HELD FOR MURDER. A SAD TRAGEDY.

The Defendant Swayed by Impulses Governing Guiteau.

The following special from Monon concerns Hiram Oollins, a former resident of Sugar Greek township: "The jury in the case of Hiram Oollins, indicted for the murder of Joseph P. Ward, on the 1st of August laBt, which has been on trial at Monticello this week, have returned a verdict of guilty the punishment, twenty-one years' imprisonment. Oollins was an industrious farmer and successfully managed his affairs uutil about 1891. Then he joined the F. M. B. A. and spent much of his time in reading and talking. He became moody and morose, and often spoke of being controlled by some unseen power. He attributed this influence to an electric battery somewhere in the air, operated by government officials. He was' Bent to the Longcliffe Insane Hospital in 1893, but was only under treatment four months. Again, in 1896, he was sent to the hospital, but he onlyTemained six weeks. Dr. RogerB, the superintendent, testified that CollinB was suffering from the same mental trouble as influenced Guiteau and PrendergruBt, the slayers of President Garfield and Mayor Harrison. Among the incidents in his career, Oollins shot into the windows of the po6tofflae at Reynolds until the postmaster resigned. He was also arrested for writing threatening letters to the late Governor Claude Matthewe."

-MUST ATTEND FULL TERM.

The New Traant Law and Some of Its Requirements Explained.

A number of parents having children of school age have inquired as to the length of time children are to be in school. The requirements are set out in the following paragraph: The new truant law requires all children between the ages of six and fourteen inclusive, who have not finished the common school course and who are physically and mentally able, to attend the entire term. However, if a child either 33 or 14 years, is actively and regularly^wnB eonsiderableproperty employed for his own support or the support of those dependent upon him, he shall not be required to attend school for a longer period than twelve weeks consecutively.

IN JAIL.

Elva Derrickson, a Young Thug, is Finally Captured By the Police.

Elva and Oharles Der-

rickson, a couple of young negro thugs, assaulted Uncle John Churchill, an aged colored man, !»nd beat him almost to death in the hope of obtaining the money he was supposed to have. Churchill all but died from their infamous attack and the boyB made good their escape, leaving at once for parts unknown. The police kept a Bharp lookout, however, well knowing that the fellows would Bhow up here in time. Last Sunday Elva arrived in town and went at once to his mother's home near the Monon station. The police were quickly apprised of his' home coming and as soon as possible proceeded to the Derrickson dive. Alva was found sitting there as big as life and gave up without a struggle. He was taken at onoe to jail and refuses to talk. The police endeavored to get him to tell where he had been but a surly growl of refusal was all they were able to obtain from the ugly beast.

There is a charge in the circuit court of assault with intent to kill against the DerricksonB and Elva will be put through on this with all expediency.

Miss Lula Boldt Fatally Burned at Terre Haute Lut Week.

Theodore H, Boldt, proprietor of the Valley mill, and his son, Ernest, were called to Terre Haute laBt Thursday by the death of Mr. Boldt's daughter, Lula, a beautiful and accomplished girl, well known here and at Waynetown, where she formerly lived. The Terre Haute Express gives the following account of her death: "Lula Boldt, aged 20

tally burned by a gasoline stove explosion at the home of her grandmother, Mrs. Fredericke Boldt, at 705 south Fourth street, yesterday afternoon at 3:45 o'clock and died after suffering intensely, shortly after 5 o'clock in the evening. "Drs. Gertsmeyer and Wyeth were immediately called and did all they could to relieve her sufferings, as it was apparent from the first that she could live but a short time after the accident,

horrible were the burns

about her head and body. She was conscious until a short time before life left the body and begged the physicians and others attending to relieve her of the intense suffering. "The girl was alone in the house at the time of the accident and it will never be known exactly how the explosion occurred. Mra. Boldt was out driving with Mr. Seidentopf and a number of other elderly women and had gone to the cemetery. Sh£ knew nothing of the accident until sometime afterwards, and when it was made known to her she became prostrated with grief, as the unfortunate girl has made her home with Mrs. Boldt since childhood and has been her only companion. "The girl's mother is dead and the father

brother named Ernest also lives at Crawfordsville, but at one time lived in Terre Haute. A younger

had

been straightened out. The screws by which the tank had been fastened to the shaft or pipe were not damaged in any way, consequently it is believed that the tank was not blown off the pipe, but had fallen on the burner. There was chewing wax and soap around the tap attached to the tank, which showed that the tap leaked. It is believed that Miss Boldt was attempting to stop a leak at the tap and in screwing the joint had made a mistake and turned the screw the wrong way, which allowed the tank to fall from the pipe to the burner, igniting the gasolinq from the bottom and causing the explosion. "When discovered the girl was lying c'oie to the kitchen door, which was partly open, and the flames filled the room to the roof. With the exception of a Blight scorching of the walls the damage to the room is small."

OFF FQR THE WAR.

A Large Party of Crawfordsville HeS Tieave Home Laat Monday for tk« Philippine*.

Captain John L. Ketcham, of tha 44th United States infantry, olosed his recruiting offise here Sunday and returned to Indianapolis. Had he remained over Monday he would have possibly doubled the number of his recruits as all day long men were calling at the office of Ristine A Barcus to join the army. All were greatly disappointed and quite a number went to IndianapoiiB in the evening to be enlisted there. The men who were recruited here went over to the capital city Monday evening at 5 o'clock in charge of George Maxwell, and on Wednesday night left for Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where the regiment is mustering. Within a month they will be enroute to Manila. Dr. Barcus thinks that while the boys will have to pass another examination over two or three will be rejected. The examinations here were rigid and some of the applicants were rejeeted without examination, it being patent that they could not

-The boys were accompanied to the train by a large number of friends and the ancient and honorable order of Boosters made lavish preparations to give a send off to their de~ parting brothers. The chariot of Rufus Wells, Bhiek of the desert, waa chartered to haul the enlisted Boosters to the train in state and a fitting demonstration was made nil along the line of march. The following is the list of names of those examined, all being accepted except those whose names are starred: James 0. Holmes, 'Herbert Rooce, Ohas. McOlure, Maco, Archibald Ouper, •Oharles Marley.

"Crowds of people gathered at the home of the'dead girl yesterday afternoon as Boon as th& accident became known, and last night numerous friends called to comfort Mrs. Boldt in her sad bereavement. "The face of the girl was burned beyond recognition. The hands and entire body were also horribly %harred, much of the flesh having dropped from her hands. Her clothing waB entirely burned from her body with the exception of a small portion of her skirt. The first known of the accident was the screams of the .suffering girl and the discovery of smoke coming from the kitchen windows of the residence. A number of persons arrived before the fire engines.but could do nothing, as the fUmes from the gasoline filled the room and' made it impossible for any one to .enter and give assistance. "An exmination of the premises where the accident happened led to the following conclusions as to how the explosion occurred: The tank of the gasoline stove was lying on the burner with the cap off and partly filled with gasoline.
