SIFRIT TURNED LOOSE.
The Young Man Brings Eighteen Witnesses From Ohio and the State Calls the Game Off.
Wednesday in the circuit court the case of the state vs. Alfred Sifrlt, charged with horse stealing, was called for trial. Prosecutor Reeves arose and stated that the state would have to dis miss the case, being unable to make a showing on the evidence. The defendant on the other hand was loaded for a fierce fight. Besides the depositions on an alibi taken at Cincinnati last week he brought with him from his home at London, Ohio, eighteen witnesses. These witnesses were all of them good looking people and represented the heavy business interests of that town. The banker who gave bond to Sifrit led the delegation. The defense was highly pleased with the outcome of the case and in the afternoon the delegation left, for London.
Seme weeks ago the horse and buggy of Frank Custer were stolen from the Darlington hitch rack one night, and it was impossible at first to get any clew to the thief. Finally, however, it developed that a day or so before the theft a young man named Cun. ningham had picked up on the road to Darlington a young man who on the way told him considerable of his past life and that of his family, giving their place of residency in Ohio and other facts. On the evening of the theft this same young man alighted from the train at Darlington and was seen no more. He was connected with the disappearance of the horse, however, and Custer, who was determined to discover his property if possible, started on the Ohio trail. He found where a young man, answering the description of the suspicious stranger, had driven his rig through Greenfield and from a boy there obtained an excellent description of the outfit. Over in a small town in Ohio a blacksmith was found who had shod the horse, and who gave a good description of the stranger seen in Darlington. The information given by the stranger concerning his past life to the Darlington young man was then called into requisition and inquiry at the places he claimed to have lived left little doubt that he was Alfred Sifrit. It was learned that Alfred Sifrit was then living in London, Ohio. The Greenfield boy and the blacksmith were then taken to London and seeing Sifrit positively identified him as the thief. Sif rit was then arrested and brought here. A great effort was made to find the rig but no trace of it could be found. Sifrit protested his innocence and claimed that at the time of the theft he was in Cincinnati. He advanced as his opinion that the real thief was a brother of his who was a bad character whose whereabouts were unknown. This he thought explained the story of the Sifrit family as told the Darlington boy by the stranger. Several Darlington people visited the jail and stated that Sifrit was the stranger they saw in Darlington the day of the theft. It looked a little dark for the prisoner but soon the substantial citizens of London came to his relief and bond was furnished him. Then an alibi was secured. Wednesday it was found that the black smith on whom the state depended so much had not come and the Greenfield

boy who was present stated that he was not quite so sure as to Sifi-it's identity. The Darlington witnesses would none of them swear that Sifrit was the man seen there. There was nothing for the state to do but to quit the case.
One of the Darlington witnesses after the dismissal wobbled up to A. B. Anderson, who represented the defendant and sat at his table, and remarked to him in a congratulatory tone: "Well sir, I'm glad you got out of it. I wouldn't be afraid to get up before all these people here and swear that you wasn't the same fellow I saw in Darlington the night the hoss was stole. You favor him but you aint the same man."
Sifrit is an art sign painter and all the Ohio witnesses give him a good name, speaking highly of his character. The party while here stopped at the Crawford and made a good showing for themselves. Sifrit's wife was with him and was atgood looking young woman. The Ohio people incline strongly to the belief that Sifrit's -roaming brother is the real thief. His likeness to Alfred is said to be striking.
TWO WARM BABIES.
Simp Bell and Jlm]GIII Make Goo-Goo Byes at the Same Sister and Mix Conclusions.
Sadie Gray, the fond |but faithless wife of Andy Gray, who rivals Rufus Wells in the capture of garbage, is once mor6 in the body of the county jail, and in adjoining cells are those truly excellent colored gentlemen, Jim Gill and Simp Bell. It seems that these simian bounders have for some time past been noisy rivals for the somewhat faded favors of shifty Sadie. She smiled, if an exhibition of her saffron fangs could be called smiling, on both apes and consequently a fierce rivalry grew up between them. When Simp was favored Jim chewed broken glass in blind rage, and when Jim and Sadie strolled by moonlight Simp refused to be comforted. Naturally things could not go on thus forever, and Monday Jim took the initiative and incidently a good licking. Simp and Sadie, considerably under the influence of cheap beer and cocaine, wobbled unsteadily along Main street a little while after the clock in the steeple boomed twelve. Simp carried a billiard cue and a razor and felt tolerably secure. At the corner of Walnut and Main they met Mr. Gill who likewise carried a billiard cue. Both men snarled and clubbed their cues while Sadie skated up a tree box like a lizzard up a stump. Simp and Jim exchanged the compliments of the evening in the soft and liquid language for which both are justly famous, and after the close of the classics went after each other tooth, toe nail, and billiard cue. The resounding whacks of the cues on their adamantine pates, their roars of rage, and the affrighted squawks of the delicious little bunch of femininity up the tree box awoke the sleepers for blocks about. Up and down the street the battle raged, both men fighting like rival torn cats on a clothes line. Senator John ston attempted to drive them off but they paid no more attention to him than if he had never seen th3 state house. Snapping, snarling, swearing, and club swinging Simp and Jim wallowed about in the dust. Up Main street, down Walnut, and back again to Main, biting, scratching, spitting, urged on by Sadie the siren, the black brutes battled for supremacy. But all things have an end. Finally Simp managed to give Jim a tremendous whack on the shins with what was left of his cue and Jim fell in the dust writhing in pain. Simp then leaped upon him with his hob nailed shoes and tramped his face until it simply lost all resemblance to that of a human, although it might be parenthetically stated that it never did bear very much such resemblance. Woman, lovely woman, then slid down from her perch in the shade tree and decamped with the victor. Jim was picked up and carried to the office of Dr. Sigmond where nearly a hundred stitches were taken to sew up the gashes in his head and great chunks of gravel and dirt were dug out of his mangled face. Later in the night Simp and Sadie were captured and were both jailed.

MIXED HER BOTTLES.
Miss Beryl Hope of The "Way Down East" Company Frightfully Burns Her Pace.
Miss Boryl Hope, leading lady in Brady's "Way Down Eabt" company, suffered an ugly accident on Tuesday at the Crawford house. She was dressing in her room and put upon her face waat she thought at the time was cold cream. She mixed her bottles, however, and instead of using cold cream rubbed carbolic acid on her face. The mistake was quickly discovered and a doctor was called in. Her face was frightfully burned and she suffered great pain, but was able to accompany the show when it left. It is feared that the burns may leave a permanent scar.
Miss Hope is a clever actress and scored a hit Monday at Music Hall in the part of "Anna Moore."
A Life Membership In Union Hospital.
Maj. Travis received a card Monday signed for $100 by Mr. Henry Alfrey, now at Jonesboro, Ark. So far the life membera of the association are: Mrs. L. L. Culver, Dr. J. F. Davidson, Mrs. H. S. Lane, Gen. Lew Wallace, D. C. Smith and Henry Alfrey. The payment of $100 constitutes the donor a life member of the association. There ought to be many such in our county. At any rate, every man and woman who can do so ought to become members of the association by paying $2.00 per year dues. The managers are trying to secure one thousand members, and we hope the people will take interest in this great work of charity, and give it at least as much as $2.00 per year. Mr. C. N. Williams was over from Indianapolis a few days ago and subscribed $10 for the hospital. Mr. Collett Campbell also, unsolicited, subscribed $25 and a membership for himself and Mrs. Campbell. The object is worthy the hearty support of all good people, and the men and women who are working so hard for the hospital ought to be encouraged.
All manner of extravagant expressions are possible when a woman's nerves are overwrought. The spasm at the top of the wind pipe or bronchial tubes, "ball rising in the throat," violent beating of the heart, laughing and crying by turns, muscular spasms (throwing the arms about), frightened by the most insignificant occurrences—are all symptoms of a hysterical condition and serious derangement of the female organs.
Any female complaint may produce hystorics, which must be regarded as a symptom only. The cause, however, yields quickly to Lyclia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound, which acts at once upon the organ afflicted and the nerve centers, dispelling effectually all those distressing symptoms.
