Rev. I). B. Iteckard lias moved into the mansion Just completed by Miss LeNora Huffman. Mrs. John Hoffman and daughter were pleasantly surprised on the Sabbath while gon their way to church by meeting their daughter and sister, Mrs. lantha Mathers, of Chicago, whom they had not seen since the celebration of her nuptials four years ago. The visit was unexpected. An event of unusal occurrence took place on Thursday night of last week at the residence of Mrs. Mary Miller, one mile south of town. It appears, as per arrangement, that William Anderson, with other assistance, went to Mrs. Miller’s to eonsumate an elopment for marital pufpose with Rosa . Miller, a daughter in her early teens. The family became cognizant of the scheme and unitedly protested, and soon came to blows. During the sceance, Jocob Miller, as a kind of an overture, made five shots with a revolver at Sweet William, one of which took effect. Billy, however, succeeded in getting away with the girl, and a bullet in hiajajw_liefoi'e leaving for the state lying Just aver Indiana’s northern boundary. He eame to our town to have his wound cared for which proved not of a serious nature, the major trouble ladng that the wound retaided the cutting his tobacco at will. On Sunday he returned with his young bride and was placed under arrest on Tuesday for kidnaping, and brought into Shepherd’s court to answer, when a change of venue was taken before justice Cowan who will .hear the case on Monday of next week. A bloody altercation took place on the north side of the saloon on Tuesday night. Our information will allow us to state that a dispute arose between Amos Herrmann -and Harvey Eckrote which they undertook to determine in a pugilistic lore. While thus engaged, Adams Moser, it is said, made an endeavor to separate the combatant', while otlrers say he was engaging himself in helping Herrmann to pummel Eckrote; however the latter fired two shots from his revolver both of which took effect on the person of Moser, one on the right side near the pit of the arm, the other in the chin; neither are considered serious. Eckrote was taken to the office of Dr. Haughton, the bloodiest mortal ever seen since the Indians ceded this country to the whites. The Dr. found six scalp wounds of various dimensions which was the 'cause of the gastiy looks of his subject. While Jlie Dr. was thus engaged, Moser was lying on the bloody battle field demanding the Doctor’s attention. Dr. Aspy, of Geneva, was now sent for, and the patient taken to shelter; Aspy would not agree to come; a message was then sent to Berne for medical aid which in due time was on hand. Herrmann’s appearance after the affray represented his profession well i. e. a butcher; i but the emblems were the productions of i human gore. That this be the last accurrance of this nature is the desire of every law-abiding citizen. Honduras Hooting. Services at Zion was largely attended last Sunday. Rev. C. T. Payne officiated. I W. E. Fulk only puts in his appearance on Saturday evening. Doubtless he would not come so often if certain important matters did not demand such. W. F. Fulk has added a new steel roof to his batn this week. Longenberger Bros’, have nearly completed Mark Jahn’s new barn, and is a great improvement. Singing school at No. 5 is largely attended. Exercises are conducted by Porf. A. W. Merriman, of Bluffton. W. E. Fulk, Misses Lena Bell, Grade Bell, Lydia Ashbaucher and J. H. Fulk were among the young people who took in Rome City on last Friday. ' James Click goes a flyin’ ’em, and some times the springs do “click” too. We hear a few girls occasionally sing, “Sunday nights is my delight, when riding out. us two.” But a still fewer sing nothing and declare their intention of being old maids. Farmers of this place are expecting to 'reap a fine harvest. «>■ Mrs. Fred Voigt is agliin suffering from an attack of neuralgia. Pleasant Mills Mention- □ x — The farnjers are busy harvesting hay.
