On last Thursday, the trial of Rhoda Durbin, was begun in rhe Adams circuit court, before a jury.

Sunday, 9 o'clock a. in., they reached a verdict, which said Rhoda Durbin had not been proven guilty of murder, as charged in the indictment. The finding of the jury does not change the sentiment of the community. The near future may disclose a state of facts that has not been narrated as yet.

Kirkland Township Up In Arms. On last Wednesday Tibby Liby, a young woman of that township, died under peculiar circumstances. A short time before she had a young man by the name of Lyse arrested, charging him with being the father of her unborn child. But when came to trial, she admitted to the falsity of the affidavit saying her mother and a man by the name Jack Roush, a huckster, who frequented their home, was the cause of her trouble. Roush was there to see her on Tuesday and Tuesday evening young Lize was there to see her. They talked matters over, the young man still saying lie was willing and wanted to marry her, but did not want the child. On Wednesday she was taken violently ill and went into convulsions at once, in a short time medical assistance from Bluffton was secured at five o'clock. The doctor made a hasty examination, but failed to properly diagnose the case, while the patient continued to grow worse, being unconscious all the time. At 9 o'clock the doctor asked for help and by three o’clock a. nr. another doctor was on the scene, but like the first was at his wits end when he examined the case. The girl still continued to grow worse until nine o’clock Thursday morning when death came to her relief. The friends laid her remains away in the Mt. Zion cemetery. Friday at 10 o'clock a. m. as they supposed until rhe great “Resurrection Day/’ but the neighbors feeling there was something mysterious about the young girl's death and burial, after a hasty consultation concluded to have the matter investigated. A committee was appointed who came to town and informed the coroner, who in company with the sheriff went to the graveyard where the remains lay. The body was soon exhumed, when a sight met their view, which to them had been unknown. The body of a new born babe lay there dead withits dead mother. The coroner removed the stomache of the dead girl and placed it in the hands of Chemist Smith, of Fort Wayne, for to have the contents analyzed. Sunday. Prosecuting Attorney Hartford and Sheriff Doak and other court officials went out to the home of the mother of the dead girl and interviewed the family. On there return Prosecutor Hartford filed an affidavit against Jack Roush, a citizen of Bluff a. Indiana, charging him with murder, ’and sent word to the sheriff of Wells county to arrest and hold him until the sheriff of of this county could get there td' take charge of him. Qq.... Monday, Sheriff Doak went over to Bluffton and brought Roush over to our jail on the afternoon train. In the meantime. :u large number of men and, women from the neighborhood where the deed was committed had come to town. Their threats were not loud but deep and came from those who were ready to act if they had a leader, but by some means they understood that the prisoner would be brought to the court house for a preliminary trial, but he. having secured the services of Mock A Simmons, of Bluffton, they had advised him to ask for time before he would have a bearing. The result was the sheriff hustled him oil to jail before the men were aware of what had happened, thus giving him a good, long breathing spell. The casr is set for Thursday? August 3lst, when tilings may look blacker than they have for some time here. The evidence seems to be strong ■against the denfendaut. if what is told is true. It is said that some days ago, he went to Fort Wayne arid it is supposed that while there, the drug was bought that was the cause of her death. On Tuesday he was seen to give her a small package, about the size of a stick of candy. Ou Wednesday following, she was taken sick and on Thursday, died. It is supposed that her mother knows more than she lias told, but for the sacredness that belongs to a mother it is ; hopeil that the Amor is a false one. _ Jibuslf is a man jusl sixUy six years-of-age and has been a resident of Bluffton for some time past and has followed huckstering for a long time, making it a rule to get to t lie Liby home to stay over night, and in this way became jiitimate with the family, taking the girl with him to,Bluffton, frequently and ' keeping her over night.

In Memory of Captain Ira A. Blossom. Head Qr's Sam Henry I’ost, I No. 65, G. A. R. y Our worthy comrade, Capt. Ira., A. Blossom, died on Sunday morning. August 6th, 1893 j after a long and heroic struggle with that dread disease, consumption. which he contracted in the service. The last few years of his life was a never ceasing struggle with disease. which in another form, illustrated his indomitable will and heroic courage as a soldier in the late civil war. “Taps" have sounded for our comrade for the last time, his marching days are over, his last fight has ended; he surrendered to the inevitable, and has gone, we hope, to enjoy a life of immortality, where sorrow and suffering can never come. W'e commend the example of his life lo our comrades, to his friends and to this community as worthy of emulation. With his family, his wife and children, we grasp hands in sympathy and mingle our tears of sorrow and grief with theirs. To our comrades of Sam Henry Post, we recommend that our Post room be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days and that an engrossed copy of this, the sense of this Post, be transmitted by the Adjutant to the widow -of our worthy Coiufad, under seal of tbp Post.
