5THE GOLDEN RULE.

Phillip Blddle Puts a Load of Buckshot Into a Bovine Belonging to Coleman Blankenahlp.

On the 15th of January Phillip A. Biddle, living in Coal Creek township, becoming out of patience with a festive cow belonging to Coleman Blankenship, loaded up the family shotgun and put a handful of shot into the back of the animal as she was cavorting about his premises for the 'steenth time. Some of the neighbors filed information with Prosecutor Reeves and Monday the case came up in 'Squire Stilwell's court. Messrs. Blddle and Blankenshlp were both present and were both sorry that the affair had come into the courts, as they are neighbors on the best of terms. Mr

SHOT A NEIGHBOR'S COW. A SURPRISE WEDDING.

Blddle admitted that he was guilty as charged, but that he had allowed his temper to get the better of his judgment and four minutes after he had punctured the cow, was sorry for the deed.

Blankenship and Biddle have left the matter of the value of the cow to an arbitration committee, it being admit ted that she is no longer any good as a milk producer.

Obituary.

A little flower is gone, A voice we loved Is stilled A place is vacant in the home

Which never can be filled.

Little Mable, infant daughter of Mr and Mrs. T. T. Northcutt, quietly passed away at her home two and one half miles east of Ladoga, Friday morning, Jan. 17th, at 4 o'clock.

Although at the time of her death she was only five months old, yet she will be greatly missed in the home but we should remember that our loss is Heaven's gain. She has gone to be with her little brother Walter, who preceded her to the better world about four months ago. This should be warning of the certainty of death. The young, the old and the middle aged must die. And let us so live that when our death summons shall come that we may be ready to take up our eternal abode with Jesus as was little Mable.

We loved her, yes, we loved her, But angels loved her more, And they have sweetly called her,

She calmly entered home. CARD OF THANKS. Mr. and Mrs. T. T. Northcutt desire to express their heartfelt thanks to the neighbors for kindness shown during the sickness and death of their little daughter, Mabel, and especially to thank the friends, the singers and Bro. Gill for their thoughtfulness and

GIVEN KNOCK-OUT DROPS.

Sam Valkenburg, of Hlllsboro, Is Robbed In Lafayette and Then Shipped Back to This City.

Monday Sam Valkenburg, an old soldier living in Hillsboro, was in this city on his way to Lafayette to buy laundry supplies. Tuesday he was found by Truitt Wilson near the Monon tracks on east Main street before six o'clock in a dazed condition and tatcen into his home. The police were called for and conveyed «Valkenburg to the jail for want of abetter place and the old soldier told them the story of what had happened to him. It appears that after he got to Lafayette he decided to visit the soldiers' home, and on his way there stopped at a road house kept by a man named Bowers, whom he had formerly known. Valkenburg doesn't remember whether he had bought tho supplies he went after or not, but states that he had some money in his pocket and took several drinks, after which his mind became a blank and subsequent events did not interest him.

When he was found on Tuesday be had but sixteen cents in his pockets and thought he was still in Lafayette. He has not the faintest idea of how he got to this city nor what became of his money, but believes that he was -given

Knock-out drops" at the Bowers road house and afterward robbed and then shipped to this city. He gwas [crazy at times Tuesday and racted pllke he was under the Influence of some power ful drug, having rational moments only occasionally. Officer Steele telephoned to Hlllsboro Tuesday, but the persons with whom he ijtalkedjldid not know whether the old'gman had any money when he left Hillsboro Monday or not.

Valkenburg's Bon came |up from Hillsboro Tuesday afternoon&and took his father home tbatl evening. He states that if his father had $500Jon his person nobody knew it. and he believes that he only had about $5. The old gentleman has been all over the world, having been a sailor. He is still unahle to coherently recall his wanderings, his son stating that he left home Sunday with the intention of going to Mellott.

Dr. Senn, but it is not known what ailment made the operation necessary. Dr. Brumbaugh waB a fine specimen physically when he came here in the fall of 1897 as pastor of the First Methodist church, succeeding Dr. S. V. Leech. But during the winter of the following year he made an overland trip to Shawnee Mound to lecture, resulting in severe cold and illness. After that Dr. Brumbaugh's health steadily failed and before the end of the second year he was compelled to give up his pastorate and assume a supernumerary relation to the church. He went into business in Quincy, III., where he has since made his home until a short time ago when he took charge of a sanitarium at St. Joseph, Mo. Previous to coming to Crawfordsville he was pastor of the leading Methodist church at Atchison, Kan., for five years and before that he served in tho same capacity for the same length of time at

St. Joseph, Mo. Before entering the ministry Dr. Brumbaugh was a practicing physician. He wns born at Mullersburg, O., Aug. 14, 1852. He joined the Tribe of Ben Hur shortly after coming to Crawfordsville and was insured in the order for $2,400. He also carried $4,000 additional insurance,.

A CLUB HOUSE.

The Crawfordsville Gun Club Will Incorporate and Build.

The Crawfordsville Gun Club has secured an option on seven acres of the Butcher grounds just north of the city where they hold their shooting tournaments, and will erect thereon a club house at a cost of $1,000 or $1,500. A man will be employed to look after the grounds who will make his home at the club house, and it will be open the year round to members. To accomplish these plans a stock company is being organized with a capital of $2,000. Already $1,000 of this has been subscribed and not a great deal of trouble is anticipated in securing the balance. The club will build immediately, and their programme includes frequent tournaments which will attract strangers to the city and the general encouragement of protection to fish and game.

The Decision In the Breaks Case. To the Editor of The Journal. THE JOURNAL on Monday in its statement In regard to Judge West's ruling on the demurer to the defendant's answer in the case of Margaret A. Breaks vs. Calvin Breaks, exeoutor, did not state the ruling sufficiently to ba fair to all the parties ana the court. The holding of the court was to the elT«ct that an ante-nuptial contract verbally made before marriage and reduced to writing after marriage was valid and not within the statute of frauds, which requires that all contracts made in consideration of marriage must be in writing and signed by the party to be charged thereby. The court further held that a contract of this kind, which gave the wife only $000 and $10 per month during the life of the husband was too harsh and too unfair a contract for a man to mane with his wife, when one took into consideration the large value of Mr. Breaks' estate, unless the intended wife knew, both at the time of making and at the time of signing such contract, what she was entitled to as his widow under the law, and if the defendants would amend their answer so as to show that Mrs.

Breaks fully knew her legal rights in tho matter, ho would overrule the demurrer. X.

Floater Case Postponed.

The trial of the issBues in the suit of F. P. Mount against the board of commissioners of Montgomer county, began Tuesday afternoon at Covington. The defendants demurred to the complaint, but the court overruled tho demurrer. The defense then began setting up various things, among other the connection of Messrs. Benjamin and Thompson with the case, to all of which Mr. Mount demurred. The parties were still busy working on this domurrer when another case came up that had to be tried, and the case from this county was postponed until some future day for further argument on

Mr. Mount's demurrer.

Out Townships Not In It.

The auditor has had a number of calls for money from the unexpended fund left after the purchase of the. gravel roads roads several years ago from taxpayers not living In Union township. The money is due only to taxpayers of Crawfordsville and Union township.
