He Committed Suicide Tuesday Afternoon Over a Saloon In Anderson.

Will H. Patterson, recently of this city, committed suicide Tuesday afternoon over a saloon in Anderson. The fact was briefly announced in the Indianapolis papers Wednesday and after their arrival THE JOURNAL called up Wallace Campbell, editor of the Anderson Herald, who gave the following story of the tragedy:

THE CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.

WILL H. PATTERSON. FOUL BEGGARS.

Patterson had been making frequent trips to Anderson from his home in Muncic for some days past looking for a snow white poodle dog which his wife had lost on the interurban car between Anderson and Pendleton. Last Saturday he hunted Anderson over for the dog and could not have shown greater distress had the animal been his child. Tuesday morning he again appeared in Anderson and was intoxicated when he arrived. He visited Charley Smelcer's saloon and after taking a few drinks and talking with the bar keeper, Everett Michaels (both Smelcer and Michaels are Crawfordsville products) he left for Pendleton, thinking that he had a clew there. Pendleton is ten miles from Anderson and Patterson did not stay there long, returning on the first car. He went at once to Smelcer's saloon and after writing a letter to his^wife took several drinks and began to complain bitterly of the loss of his dog. Suddenly he asked Michaels for the location of a pawn shop, and Michaels took him to the Chicago loan office where he put up a valuable diamond shirt stud worth over S100 for $5. The clerk told him that he could have fifty dollars on the jewel, but Patterson answered sharply that he needed only a quarter. He then went to a nearby drug store and purchased a quarter's worth of morphine. He then went to Smelcer's place again and after taking a drink asked for a place to lie down. He was shown to a bedroom over the saloon and left alone. Four hours later Michaels became suspicious because of Patterson's failure to show up and went to the room. He found him unconscious and breathing very hard, A doctor was called but Patterson died before he arrived. On his person was found a gold watch and the letter to his wife, written after his return from PendletOD. It was thought this letter would explain the suicide but it did not. It merely stated that he had been unable to find the dog and advised her to put the case in the hands of a lawyer.

The body was turned over to the coroner and Patterson's wife was notified. A message from Mnncie stated that Patterson had lost his place some time a^o and had been very despondent since the loss of his dog. It is thought that he was mentally unbalanced.

Will Patterson was raised in Crawfordsville and lived here until a little over a year ago, when he married Miss Lizzie Groenheit and moved to Muncie. While here he was barkeeper for Gus Karle. He was a half brother of Mrs. George Smith, Mrs. Henry Schenck, and Mrs. Paul Larsh, and was a young man quite popular with his large acquaintance.

The body of Mr. Patterson was brought here and taken to the home of his mother, Mrs. Xancy Patterson, of Liberty street. The funeral occurred there on Thursday afternoon at two o'clock and was private.

Dirty Horde Invades the Town Defy All Order and Decency.

and

Bright and early on Wednesday a disreputable and dirty gang of Russian gypsies struck the town and proceeded to mako themselves as odious as possible. Foul mouthed women ciothcd in filthy rags flocked into the offices and stores, beggiug, stealing, and swearing, There were over sixty of the lousy vagrants in the crowd and the polico stood about on the corners as though lost while the outrage was brazenly continued. Along about noon Officer Doyle did break up a crowd of half a dozen women who had invaded Fink's meat market and put one of the harridans in jail, but in less than two hours she was released again.

Tuesday these outcasts had camped east of the city and they proceeded to help themselves to whatever they wished from the barns and fields of the farmers. The farmers complained to Sheriff Canine and he sent a deputy out. The deputy accomplished nothing, however, and on Wednesday the gang of jackals came to town hard on his heels.

The officers ordered the leaders to leave at once, but this aid no good. They pretended to be unable to understand English, a language all of them used with tluency and ease while begging or abusing those who refused to help them.

The camp east of town was not broken up until noon Wednesday, when the horse thief detectives took a hand. Wednesday a crowd of the women went to the home of Charles Smith and terrorized Mrs. Smith, helping themselves to what they wished and bitterly resenting an order to leave. When the detectives heard of this they seized a couple of the guilty old hags and bundled them into town with scant ceremony, the whole dirty pack following the officers to the mayor's office.

The women were arraigned on a charge of provoking Mrs. Smith, who testified that after she had given them food they cursed her and that one of them seizing a bone from the table assaulted her. The gypsies feigned ignorance of English and Mr. Coen, who keeps a fruit stand in the Crawford house block, was called to interpret. The women denied Mrs. Smith's charge but the mayor promptly found them guilty. They understood the finding as soon as it was made and the ridiculous wailing that began was something amusing. The men began to jabber and gesticulate, rolling their eyes and humping their shoulders while the women simply howled. It sounded for all the world like feeding time at the Zoo. Oflicers O'Neil and Doyle took the women to jail and they wailed loudaud long as they went.

They were sent up for fifteen days each but it is likely that they will be released upon a promise to vacate the county at once. The crowd is the toughest that has struck Crawfordsville in years.

Is Home Again.

Samuel Peck, who was taken to Decatur, 111., last Saturday to answer to an indictment for forgery, has returned home. He states thatithe prosecuting witnesses are anxious to drop the case, but that he will insist, on a trial ,^'and after acquittal will sue for heavy damages. The Decatur Herald says of the case: "Sheriff Lehman arrived homo last night from Crawfordsville, Ind.. having in custody Sam Peck, who is charged with forging the name of W. S. Traughbar to some notes. "Peck was not under arrest at Crawfordsville, as had been reported here. He knew, however, that SherifTjLehman was to be in Crawfordsville and instead of running away drove fourteen miles to the city to surrender. There were friends of Peck in Decatur last night awaiting his arrival, and as soon as the sheriff and his prisoner appeared at the jail the friends signed bonds in the sum of $200 for the appearance of Peck when his case is called for trial. "It is reported that Peck's father and brother are both men of some means and that they will see to it that he has a competent defense. The statement is also made that there are men in Mt. Zion township who will see to it that Peck lacks nothing in the way of capable attorneys when his case comes to trial."

THROWN OUT OF COURT.

The Frankfort Subsidy Case Ends favorably to the Defendant.

The case of the Frankfort and Slate Line R. R. Co. vs. Center township, Clinton county, to collect a $120,000 subsidy with interest since ISSl.cameto an abrupt end Tuesday in the circuit court, Judge West, instructing the jury to lind for the defendant.

The decision was made on a card the defense had been carrying up its sleeve for a long time. 11 seems that in 1N$U the Clinton county commissioners made a ruling that, the company had not prior to that time expended the money in question. Later the White county court on appeal decided that the company had expended the money in 1S81. Judge West ruled that the White circuit court, had no authority to make such a ruling in view of the order previously made by the clinton county commissioners. Judge West's ruling pulled the props from under the plaintiff's case, which Monday looked very rosy, and it fell to the ground with a thud.

The jury was at once dismissed for the term. The Hospital.

The committee having in charge the selection of a sito for the hospital have been considering many places, and many more places have beeu suggested. The most desirable lots are so high priced they eanrot bo considered at all. Major Travis tells us that lie is receiving cards of membership, and that as soon as the weather will permit thero will be a systematic canvass of the city and county made for memberships and also for donations. It the board had $5,000 more money to buy a lot and equip the hospital when built, work would be begun at once. Money is needed, and we hope our people will do what they can to help the hospital to an early completion.

Judge Thomas, the attorney for the board, is holding court at Lebanon this week, and for that reason there will not bo a meeting of the committee until he returns. 1 the meantime anyone desiring to become a member of the association by paying two dollars per year, can do so by signing a membership card, or calling up Maj. Travis or any other member of the boara by 'phone. •. V:

Natural Gas Explosion.

The residents of south Washington street Wednesday were aroused by a tremendous explosion shortly before seven o'clock and one facetious individual romarked that Commodore Lookabill had probably opened an engagement with his thirteen inch gun. Pedestrians on their way to work witnessed a tin top of a chimney flue at Prof. Kmgery's residence gracefully ascend into the air surrounded by a shower bouquet of broken brickbats, and after describing a parabolic curve descend into .Toe Fisher's yard, immediately following an explosion. For several minutes the concourse that had gathered were afraid to make an investigation, but presently one of the bravest ventured to go around to the kitchen and asked if anybody had survived. It was found that nobody was hurt, the explosion being caused by the domestic who was preparing to get breakfast, endeavoring to light the gas a second time after having had the first match blown out. The litis of the stove wore thrown up against the ceiling and the doors jerked o" their hinges, but fortunately no serious harm was done.

The jury commissioners met Tuesday morning and the clerk drew the following juries for the April term:
