THEY HOOKED WATERMELONS.

And Now They Languish as the Involuntary Guests of Sheriff McCullough.

On the night of the tenth of August a crowd of bad boys visited the watermelon patch of Bodie Schwenek,west of the city, and after eating all the melons they could gorge they left the patch, breaking open green and half grown melons as they went. About forty melons were thus destroyed and naturally Mr. Swank was highly incensed at the wanton vandalism. He placed the matter in the hands of the police and a few days ago a loose end was found. A small colored boy living west of the college was tipped off as having been a member of the expedition and he was brought to the mayor's court for inquiry. He at once acknowledged to having been in the par ty and upon being promised exemption from punishment he gave the whole crowd away. He named as his fellow vandals, Elmer Bullington, John Rakestraw, Earl and Merle McDanie), Earl and Willard Bridges, Tom Maxwell,

Inktum" Buffington and a lad named Blankenship. The whole crowd live down on south Grant avenue and the police not desiring to give the bunch the tip by arresting the first one they happened upon concluded to scoop the whole party in at one swoop. Accordingly Tuesday night after birds and boys had gone to roost the officers chartered a ten cent hack and proceeded to visit the homes of the accused, At some of the homes there were stormy scenes but nothing wildly exciting occurred except at the home of Tom Maxwell. Tom's brains have not been so heavy as to make him bow legged and the same may be said of his brother with whom he lives. When the police aroused the Maxwell castle they were refused admittance although they stated what they wanted and that they were armed with a warrant. Officer Doyle finally declared that unless the door was opened he would be compelled to kick it down. The elder Maxwell thundered back that if he did he would never live to kick another down. The words were scarcely out of bis mouth before the door came crashing down and the officer leaped into the middle of the room. Maxwell, who was in the act of drawing on his pantaloons, allowed these garments to fall off on the floor while he made a dive for underneath the bed. Tom was dragged down stairs howling dolefully his regrets that he didn't have his "forty-four handy," and declaring that he was as innocent of watermelon stealing as a cooing dove that had never left the parental nest. He was landed in the hack with difficulty amid the gleeful howls of the oiher prisoners, all of whom seemed to treat the thing as a huge joke.

On Wednesday every mother's son of them pleaded guilty and the whole bunch was sent to iail for eleven days, ail of them expressing a desire "to lay it out."

Divorces Granted.

Wednesday Fred York was granted a divorce from Fannie York. He told very hard stories on the defendant who made no appearance.

Wednesday Mrs. Sarah Bush obtained freedom from Argalous Bush, whose marital shortcomings were shown to be something awful.

THREATENED MRS. NATION.

She Was Menaced by an Angry Crowd at Rochester.

The tiuiely intervention of a squad of police and a bit of strategy on the part of Proprietor C. A. Montague, of the Hotel Montague, at Rochester, N. Y., Sunday evening saved Carrie Nation, the saloon smasher, from the fury of a mob of about 800 people who gathered around and hurled imprecations at her.

Mrs. Nation went to Rochester from Cayuga Park at 7:-15 o'clock and was compelled to remain over until 9:27 when she left for Beaver Falls, Pa. When she appeared on the platform the crowd at the depot cheered until someone happened to remember that Mrs. Nation had been reported as having rejoiced at Coney Island last week over the shooting of President McKinley. A cry that "the old wretch" should bo lynched threw the mob into a frenzy.

Mr. Montaguo walked ahead of the smasher, who was soon surrounded by officers, while several other policeman kept lighting back the crowd. The "home defender," shouting against whisky and cigars and calling upon her revilers to allow her to make a denial of thenewspaper reports, was hustled through the station, across Central avenue and into the hotel Montague. The crowd surged behind her and filled the air with cries of ''lynch her!" "Get out of town, you old hag:" and "She was glad McKinley was killed let's kill her." She was shoved by policemen into a barroom.

At this instant a loud crash was heard as the crowd, surging forward, broke through the line of police at one point and wrecked the big glass window in the front of the saloon. Mrs Nation was taken to a room on the second floor and locked in, two policeman standing guard outside. Ten minutes before the train was due to start she was escorted back to the station by the police, who were forced to draw their clubs to protect her from bodily injury.

P. O.

of A. Memorial.

At a meeting of Camp t, P. O. S. of A. Tuesday evening, the following was adopted as the expression of the camp upon recent events in the country:

In view of the sad calamity befallen our country in the assassination of President McKinley, we as Patriotic Sons of America, unite with the people of our city and state, as well as the people of the United States, in expressing our grief over the loss our country has sustained by the sad and untimely death of our honored and universally respected President. "We believe that the citizens of the United States have the best form of government for the masses on the face of the earth. For the welfare, prosper ity and happiness of all American citizens and their decendants, we desire to protect our form of government and to preserve it intact from the interference or control of any foreign power As true lovers of our country we favor the restriction of immigration, not on account of race, nationality or religioucreeds, but upon physical, mental and moral grounds, that our country may cease to be filled with idiots, paupers, criminals, anarchists and such offall, which form an element not capable of appreciating the beauties of freedom and thejiberties of oar government. "As a band of determined men, who have vowed, so far as in our power lies, to save our native land from internal dangers and outward perils, and to check the usurpers, the traitor and the alien malcontents in their nefarious de signs, we deeply deplore the assination of our country's chief magistrate. "To Mrs. McKinley we extend our heartfelt sympathy and condolence in this hour of her affliction and national bereavement. We invoke God's blessing that law and order may triumph over the spirit of lawlessness and murder in all parts of the land, the north, south, east and west,and thus the lives, the liberties and the possessions of all the people may be secure."

Eulogistic of Or. Schell.

South BendfTribftwe: At the close of the Northwestern Indiana conference in Brazil, Ind on Monday, Dr. Edwin A. Schell, formerly pastor of Milburn Memorial chapel, of this city, was appointed presiding elder of the Crawfordsviile district. This is the largest and best salaried district in the conference. The appointment was made with tho unanimous approval of the bishop and the other presiding elders. Following upon the retraction of tho charges made by one of his factional enemies in the Epworth League this appointment is significant and is regarded as an overwhelming victory for Dr. Schell. It is regarded as showing tho confidence and affection of his fellow ministers in a very gratifying degree,

Wedding Invitations Issued. The following invitations were issued Wednesday: Mrs. Margaret Haines Suman invites you to be present at the marriage of her daughter, Jennie Belle Suman to Mr. Da.rrell Volney l.ilair, on the evening of the second of October, 1901, at half after eight o'clock at the First Methodist Episcopal church, Crawfordsvillo."

STELLA COOK MYSTERY.

Coroner's Jury Uimble to Dcclde Cause of Death.

The bar committee

the

A dispatch from Chicago says: "Tho exact circumstances surrounding the drowning of Stella Cook and M. G. Vanderburg, the wealthy representative of theNetherlands Steamship Company, of Amesterdam, Holland, probably will never be known. An inquest wus held yesterday, and after the testimony had been given the jury was unable to determino whether the deaths were caused by accident or otherwise. It established, howevor, tho innocence of Harry Thurston, who was arrested at Mackinac islar.d, charged with being the cause of tho girl's death, and a telegram was sent to the authorities here asking them to release him. "A. L. Cook, of Darlington, Indiana, father of the girl, testified that he saw his daughter last about a year ago, and that from lett.nrs received from her since then he always thought she was happy. "Fred Schmidt, who rented a boat to the couplc, stated that Miss Cook told him that she intended to row after they had gone out in the lalco. From this the police believe that the boat was overturned whilo Yanderburg and Miss C^ok were changing places."

The Seller Memorial.

tho J. M. Sel

ler memorial has handed tho following article to THK JOURNAL: MEMORIAL.

James Milton Seller was born on his

father's farm in Walnut township, Montgomery county. Indiana, December 20, 1845. He was the son of William and Elizabeth Seller. The first years of his life were spent in assisting his parents on the farm in the summer and atter ding the country schools in tho winter. When nearing manhood he attended school at Ladoga and finally graduated from the old Wesley academy, after which.he taught school, and having decided to enter the legal profession he began the study of law at Camden Mills, III., and afterwards at Williamsport, luil. He afterwards came to Crawfordsvillo and entered upon the practice of his profession, continuing therein until the date of his death with the exception of about ono year, being editor of the Crawfordsvillo Review. He took an active part in politics and

vvaB

regarded as a lfeader in his party. In 1892 he was elected a joint senator from the counties of Putnam and Montgomery, and discharged his duties as a legislator with credit and ability.

As a lawyer he stood high at this bar, being endowed with a judicial mind and well grounded in the elementary principles of law ho was at all times able to state legal propositions in a clear, concise and forceable manner. In the trial of a oause he was fair to his opponent, never seeking to take an undue advantage. He was ever kind and considerate, natural and sincere. He had a kind heart and a warm nature, well calculated to make and retain friends.

While he possessed many of the elements which go to build up men and to make his associates better for having lived among them, he may have had his weaknesses. If so let the mantel of charity obscure them, so that bright spots in his nature may shine the brighter.

In his death we have lost a bright legal mind and a kind, generous and warm hearted member of this bar.

Your committee would recommend that these resolutions be spread of record in the order book of this court, and that a copy be sent to the family of the deceased and to each of the county papers. GEORGE D. HURLEY,

Music Hall.

It is hardly probable that the present theatrical season will tbring to Music Hall another attraction so popular as "The Little Minister," which comes here next Tuesday night. Judging from the amount of interest which has already been shown there is going to be an audience in attendance to greet this play and company that will crowd the theater to the doors. Applications for reserved seats have been coining in very rapidly and it will only be a short time after the advance sale begins before every seat in the house will undoubtedly be sold. Mr. Charles Frohman, who controls this play, has gotten together a company that is, it is said, in every way capable of playing it in the manner in which it should be played. It is one of those popular comedies that require people who can not only act extremely well, but who are able to properly portray the -difficult characters of which this play is made up. The reports from all places where the company has been seen are all to one effect, and that is that it has given the greatest amount of satisfaction.

Coming Events.

Thero are healthy rumors to tho effect that five of the young ladies connected with tho Big Store have made all their arrangements to be married this fall and have given the word to the management of theh- contemplated retirement.

SALE BEGINS FRIDAY, SEPT, 20.
