BATTLE AT COLFAX.

Burglars Are Discovered and Exchange Shots with the Citizens.

At Colfax three men were discovered robbing the general store of E. H.Johnson at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday morning. Harry Smith, who says he lived at Louisville, Ky., is in custody, but the others escaped. The robbers, while carelessly closing a screen door, awakened S. F. Eberhart, who keeps a restaurant near by.

A number of citizens were summoned and advanced upon the front and rear of the Johnson building. Two of the robbers were inside the building and in an endeavor to escape fled to the second floor and jumped through windows to the ground. Smith was one of these, and, after several shots had been exchanged, he surrendered. His companion was wounded, but made his escape.

The men were pursued south on the Vandalia tracks and the neighboring towns were quickly notified by 'phone to look out for them. Roe Miller, of Darlington, learned that the men had passed through his town and went out in search of them. At Garfield he captured one but the other came on south, escaping. In the afternoon the police here were notified that the third burglar had been sighted at Walnut Hills, just north of this city, and they drove out to capture him if possible.

Arthur Mortenbeck, the captured man at Garfield, was from Indianapolis and says the third man is Ernest Roberts, of the same town. Mortenbeck, when captured, had stolen property in his possession and admitted his guilt.

FROM AUSTRALIA.

The Baker Children Write of Their Home On the Kangaroo Continent.

Miss Mary Hutchings, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Hutchings, has received letters from her old playmates, Paul and Merritt Baker. Their father, who it will be remembered married the widow of S. A. R. Beach of this city, is now consul at Sidney, N. S. W. The letters are as follows: "SYDNEY, Australia, June 2, 1901— DEAR MAHY—I have for a long time been wanting to write to you and acknowledge the receipt of your kind letter and pin containing your picture, but papa and mamma would not let me until I could write better. If you take the map or globe of the world and find Sydney, Australia, you will see where we are, nearly ten thousand miles from Crawfordsville. We left Iowa the 19th of July for Vancouver, B. C., over the Canadian Pacific railroad, where we saw some of the grandest scenery in the world. We sailed from Vancouver under the British flag July 27th, and reached Sydney the 21st of Augusti stopping only at Honolulu and Brisbane, I wish you could see the ocean. It is sod eep and wide and blue. We had a good sea all the way and I was seasick part of one day. The sailors and I thought we saw a whale in the distance. Besides that there was very little to see those three weeks except sky and water and occasionally some flying fish and a few birds. A few days before we crossed the equator we saw the sun directly above our heads. We see the sun here toward the north. We cannot see the 'north star' but we are in the land of the 'southern cross.' I go to Newington college and learn Greek, Latin, English, history, gymnastics, etc. In this country they have nice birds and animals. The cockatoo caa be taught to repeat words. This is the native home of the gnu and kangaroo. We all like it here very much and the climate of New South Wales is so refreshing that mamma has gained twelve to fifteen pounds since she has come here and has better health than for years. I saw the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York, future King and Queen of England, in a grand procession the other day and papa and mamma were invited to the government house to a reception given the Duke and Duchess. I did not go because I did not have a swallow tailed coat or patent leather shoes and, moreover, I had no invitation. Mamma says she never saw anything so beautiful as the diamond coronet, necklace, bracelets and brooches worn by the Duchess. We have a lovely villa on the top of a hill in one ot the suburbs and we can see the mountains which are twenty-six [miles away. Merritt is not a baby now as when you saw him, but be is most seven years old, bigger than I was when you saw me last. I never run away now as I did when I lived next door to you. I shall be very glad to have you answer this letter. Your old friend, "PAUL BEACH BAKER. "American Consulate Sydney, Aus."

"SYDNEY, Australia, June 20,1901.— DEAR MARY:—I do not remember you only from your picture, but mamma tells me that you used to come into our house to see me when I was a little baby and used to sit in my little buggy and swing myself up and down. I have been going to a kindergarten and learned arithmetic, spelling and writing. I study French at home and my teacher lives right in the house with us. Good bye. "MERRITT BEACH BAKER."

Will Clean House.

The incorrigible inmates of the Indiana reform school for boys at Plainfield are to be transferred to the Indiana reformatory. The matter was explained to Governor Durbin and he has approved the plan. Some of the boys have been at the school two and three times. Their influence is regarded as detrimental to the younger inmates. The boys to be sent to Jeffersonville range from sixteen to twenty years of ago. At present there are 571 inmates of the school, and at least fifty will be taken to the reformatory.

Death of J. L. Barnhart.

J. L. Barnhart died of locomotor ataxia on Wednesady at half past two o'clock at the residence of his father, E. M. Barnhart, on Milligan street. He had been quite ill for some time and his death was not unexpected. The body was taken to Indianapolis Thursday for interment, a six-year-old son being burled there In Crown Hill cemetery. Mr. Barnhart was born in Darlington forty-five years ago. He leaves a wife and a ten-year-old son. He had been a traveling man all of his active life, and when taken ill was with Stout, the wholesale grocer, of Indianapolis. Mr. Barnhart was an excellent citizen and had warm friends wherever he was known.

Death of Santford Gray*

Santford Gray, a young man well known here and until recently a resident of this county, died Tuesday afternoon at the home of his brother, Mayor Gray, of Veedersburg. He had been ill for some time and his death was not unexpected. The funeral ocsurred at Waynetown at 1 o'clock Thursday. Interment at Wesley.

COL. HAMILTON.

An Indianapolis Journalist Discovers That He ts a Wit as Well as an Auctioneer.

Indianapolis Journal: To sit through one of these horse sales watching the wild-eyed animals dashing about through the crowd of buyers and listen to the stentorian, raucous tones of the auctioneer and catch the shrewd observations of experienced horsemen as to the various points of merit and demerit of the horses offered for sale is an experience filled with fascination to one unaccustomed to such things. Col. "Tude" Hamilton, of Crawfordsville, acts as auctioneer for both Warman, Black, Chamberlain & Co. and the Blalr-Baker Horse Company, and is as Interesting a character as ono could wish to meet. Colonel Hamilton is an autocrat, a natural wit and an allround horseman of no mean degree. His autocracy is simply marvelous to the uninitiated. After reeling off his "patter" with Iightnlng-llke rapidity for a few seconds he begins to shout "Are you all done, gentlemen, all done, all done, all done?" and it matters not how pitifully the owner of the animal that is "on the block" cries out "No, my God no, they are not all done yet," the imperturbable auctioneer brings down his section of garden hose on the wooden square in front of him and utters with a firmness that is crushing the single word "Sold." A horse owner showed signs of temper yesterday when Colonel Hamilton "knocked down" an animal at a seemingly ridiculous price and proceeded to remonstrate with the auctioneer. "What are you going to do about It?" demanded Hamilton. "The brute is sold, isn't it. That ends it. Bring on the next prize."

Col. Hamilton delights in having fun with W. B. Blair, of the Blair-Baker stables. Mr. Blair was present at yes terday's auction In the rival stables because he had a number of orders for horses from his own customers that he had to fill quickly. An animal was going for 895 when the idea seized the auctioneer to force Mr. Blair to raise the bid. "Make it a hundred," shout ed Colonel Hamilton, pointing his bit of hose straight at Mr. Blair. The latter shook his head negatively. "By the eternal, I'll make you raise it," roared the auctioneer, while merry twinkle danced in his beadlike eyes. Whether he possesses the power of hypnotic suggestion or not, Colonel Hamilton succeeded in having his way and the animal was ultimately sold to Mr. Blair at a considerable advance over $95. "Here's an animal that's plumb sound in wind and limb, except that he has a slight splint on his right hind leg,' said Lon Young, who had a number of horses on sale yesterday. "Lots of people wouldn't call out a little thing like that," interposed Colonel Hamilton, "but it goes in with the horse, anyway."

Mr. Young remarked frequently, when one of his horses was brought into the "ring" to be 6old, "I have had that animal on my farm and I know he is a worker." Occasionally he would vary the observation by saying, "One of my boys has tried that animal on my farm and I know he's all right." After he had listened to these remarks for some time, Auctioneer Hamilton called out in his drole style, "Lon must have a thundering big farm to try so many horses on it eh, boys?"

Should Be tilven a Chance. 'I advise that no insanity inquest be held anywhere in Indiana without notice being first Berved on the defendant," declared Attorney General Taylor Wednesday. "The statute does not provide for notice In the case of an inquest before a justice of the peace, but I believe the higher courts will say that such notice should be given If a test case Is ever brought before them. We should do nothing to cheapen the value of either life or liberty. I do not see why one who is charged with being insane ought not to be given notice of that proceeding as much as if he iB charged with owing $10 for a grocery bill. It seems to me that where a man's liberty is at stake, as well as his entire future happiness, he ought to be served with notice of such attempted proceedings. Frequently the best answer to the allegation of insanity is the defendant himself."
