Well, Decatur certainly has the best horses on earth in all classes of harness races, pace and trot, they win when they want to. The owners are wise and refuse to mark their horses when the purses are small, but at that there is scarcely a race in Indiana or Ohio that a Decatur horse is not first or second, and the minute a betting man learns & horse is from Decatur, there is where he puts his money. At Van Wert Fri<lay Beery & Holthouse’s pacer, Kingmore. won the free for all, purse. liV), in straight heats, best time 2:13 1-4. At Montpelier Virgil C won the first heat in the 2:25 pace and sccontl money in the race, best time 2:15 1-4. Virgil C could have won in straight heats had the owners, Johnson & Co., j have cared to have him marked from 2:21 to 2:15. The races at the, Oreat Northern fair will be the best ever seen here and will be lought to a stand still. All the home horses will enter here and many are coming from abroad

Thsame thing is true in many other departme-nt- and there is no dis-. counting theyuccess of the fair. Fred Rohrer took a vacation from *?ie e>*nmL-sioners s room Friday afternoon and went to Berne on a mission, which :f later effected, will raring about reconciletim of, the waring factions at Berne. He visited each one of the saloon keepers and later in the day had a joint , session with them all. He prc-pcsed to them that they stepdown and out of their business without causing ’ the remontsrators to fcrce them out They gave him a counter proposii tirm in which they would secede to J these de-mands providing they were . paid their actual investment in fixtures. and stock on hand. The • whole situation was threshed over in a very amicable way. and Mr Rjhrer agreed to lay their proposi-. tion before those who have in, charge the remonstrance. This will take some little time and a final result will notjbe known for several days. To the credit of Mr. i he favored the counter proposition and to a Democrat representative indicated that he would urge such : a settlement. This would be a hap- j py solution and would do mere to ■ sjw seeds of temperance than any- - thing we know of. In the event of : such a settlement, all the saloon’s property would be piled up in the street and the event would be celebrated by those in sympathy and tion of the liquor traffiic. It would I be a great event and a great' . achievement for those in charge of ■ the anti-saloon movement in Berne. In addition it would greatly strengthen th-.-ir cause with the public. According to the present rate of; spared in the matter of rural mail delivery in this congressional district, it will be late next summer j before the inspector reaches Adams county. It seems that the department allows but one man in the dis- . trict. and they laid out his work for Randolph county in May, Jay coun- ■ ty in June, Wells county in July, and Adams county in August. The fellow went to work on time, but is still laboring in Randolph, and just the date in which he will complete that county is not known to us. The requirements of the potsal de partmen t are some what la borons as for instance, the name of every one getting mail by route is listed, and the routes have to be made so that not less than one hundred families receive mail on any one route. This ' is certainly no snap, and if the dei partment ever expects to get through they should put more people at work. Judging from the amount of. work done so far, there is no possible show for Adams county getting ’ ! , this service this year, and unless; i, assistance is given the one, lone,! I solitary individual working this , congressional district, it will at least | i be this time next year before he be-' gins his labors in this part of the ’ district. The convenience of rural: delivery is making our country pop nation anxious for its universal establishment. As 1904 is a cam-j paign year, it is expected that activity will be more pronounced in this branch of our postal government. I

McLtan was shot three times and as was I •-■-•-.rued through evi-teuce in trie ; trial any one of the shots would, , have kilted the victim. Zimmerman was acquired. The next murI der. famous f.r the trail of events . that followed, will ever be remembered by those wh .■ were in this city in the year I**4. In the early spring of that year Am - Ba kesto was shot and kill iat his home in Blue Creek township ne mile - nth and a quarter mile east of Oak Grove. Shortly after Free R: :. ,r.who lived near Backsto - home, and was considered as his enen;v. was arrested after considerable difficulty by Sheriff McGriff and brought to this city. Several days later a mob, ! composed principally of southern residents of the county, came to town with the intention of lynching Richards. The sheriff got wind of their actions and started for the train with hte pnsoner in a bus expecting to elude the mob and take Richards to Fort Wayne. The mob i learned of his action, however, and I overtook the party near the Murray, then the Miesse hotel. The -heriff ‘ refuse! to obey the command to; I halt, and Cartwright, the leader of i j the mob. shot a horse and Richards I was taken to the old fair ground, I where a noose was put about his neck with the intention of hanging him. The deed was not carried out. however, and Richards was taken m Fort Wayne. His trial was finished in Wayne for it was feared that the ■ ■■■■ - 7.'*.ds- ! city and the grounds for this fear I was demonstrated A mob congre- • gated a second time and Richards I only escaped through the hasty actions of the sheriff, who took his I prisoner to Fort Wayne on a special ! train, which he had telegraphed for lat the first approach of danger. Richards was sentenced at Fort Wayne by Judge St. Ciair. who oonLlemuef’ him impr j ment in the state penitentiary. an accomplice in the crime and was sentenced by Judge Bobo to life's imprisonment. After serving part of his term he died at Albany, while out on a parole. Both of the accused declared that they were innocent, and it was the testimony of a small boy, Davis Smith, that convicted them. Richards is still in the state prison. Almost ten years later another murder trial was before the Adams county court, the case being entitled State vs Rhoda Durbin. The defendant was charged with murdering an infant child, but the jury declared her not guilty.' About a year later Monroe township offered a murder on the altar of Ad- ! ams county crime. Oliver Wingent was shot through the heart by Alex .Bombay, a young man. Wingent had threatened to beat Bombay and I the latter, to frighten his aggressor, ! pushed a revolver through a keyJhole and tired. The unfortunate i Wingent stood near the door and ( was hit. In September, 1594, Bombay was sentenced to four years in the state prison. He served his ■ time, but died shortly after. And now Adams county has another case! ito deal with as a beginning, but i he end is yet to come.
