CorNAw’s Trouble* Continue. Brazil Times. A neat little story of adventure comes from the southern part of the county. It is of a high dignitary who recently offended the members of his party by certain actions in otiicial life, who, when taken severely to tcsk by a prominent political manager of his section, grew angry and drew and flashed a large specimen of Smith & Wesson eradicators, making some slight mention ot •‘human sieve,” “carcass full of holes” etc. It is now said that this prominent political mana ger lias sworn out a warrant for the arrest of this high dignitary and swears he will prosecute him to a neat brown on both sides. Latkk.—County Auditor Phillips today informed us that County Commissioner Corsaw was fined one cent and costs at Clay City for drawing a revolver on Hiehard Bryson of that place.

Yesterday’* Kaee*. Yesterday’s track events at Bain bridge were of such a slow order that they would give a tortoise that tired feeling. The Bainbridge racing this season has been very slow anil better purses and better hoises will have to he furnished before our loyers of horse flesh will get enthusiastic. The results were us follows: In the free for-all pace purse $11)0, Clint Kiff, owned by J. II. Freeman, Crawfordsville, won, with Chestnut Boy second, Ben Harrison third and Mollie Gipson fourth. Time 2:20£; 2:20^; 2:22; 2:28. In the consolation race, Col. Mat son, E. A. Batman, Bainbridge, won in three straight heats; Haven Wing second, S. W. Foster third and Marcia fourth. Time 2:31|; 2:31F 2:32*.
The catching of that crowd of seiners in Big Walnut yesterday by tt fisherman was a very fortunate stroke and one that will hear great weight and influence in stopping this unlawful practice of depopulating our streams of line game lish. The way seiners and dynamiters have been working their trade the past year or so, is enough to dishearten sportsmen, and a bass that survives their onslaught and snares to live to be a two-pounder is entitled to a gold medal. A severe object lesson should he made of the present case and the four fellows implicated made to feel the full penalty of the law.

RxviirNion to CliH’itKo KoiiihI Trip #2. The Monon Route will run an excursion to Chicago on Saturday, Ang. 10th. The rate will be $2.00 for the round trip. Everybody should tak>* advantage of Ibis excursion, as it will be the otilyjoue to Chicago this year. Special train will leave Greencastle at 10:20 p. m., Saturday night, Aug. 10th, and arrive in Chicago Sunday morning, Aug. 11th at 6 oclock. Train leaves Salem nt 6:30 p. in., and stops at all stations up to Crawfordsville inclusive, whence it makes a through run to Chicago. Returning, the train will leave Chicago at 11:30 p m., Sunday night. This will give every one an opportunity to see the sights in Chicago during the day and visit the theatres or the many other attractions at night. This will be strictly a pleasure excursion and the Monon Route will endeavor to atford all a pleasant and comfortable trip. A cornet hand will occupy the front coach and there will be a “restaurant” in the baggage car and music and refreshments will be served enroute. An ample number of coaches will be provided and everybody can get a seat. Among the more important attractions in Chicago at the present time is “Pain’s Siege of Vicksburg.” This wonderful reproduction of the battle and capture of Vicksburg it. of itself well worth the cost of the trip. The celebrated .Masonic Temple Roof Garden, 302 feet up in the air, a ride on Lake Michigan or a trip to Milwaukee am’ return by boat, “Ali Baba at the < liicago Opera House, “Little Robinson Crusoe” at the Schiller Theatre, “The Me r ry World” at the Columbia, “Trilby at Ilooley’s, etc., etc.”
Attemptfri Outragt* in Putnnm. An unknown tramp called the farm home of Mrs. Jas. White near Russellsville about 1 o’clock Thursday and demanded something to eat. Mrs. White was alone in the house and the tramp knowing this fact he seized her unexpectedly and nt tempted a villainous assault. However his strength was ineufticient and Mrs. White successfully scuttled and fought with the brute untill her screams attracted some neighbors. The villain made good hi* escape, but an angry mob was in hot pursuit and had the culprit been caught he would have been lynched ^without ceremony. The man can be recognized as a stranger was seen in that neighborhood by several persons about noon Friday. It is thought that he was then awaiting an opportunity to make his devilish assult. The White family are highly respected people and the whole country around their home is wild with ex citement. The tramp made good hisescape throught corn fields.
A MURDERESS, P5RHAPS.
Pour Parti*** Caught Seining Walnut Creek Near Till* City. On Fridav- August third at T> o’clock p. in., about three miles | from this city, a party of men with j a seit^e were caught seining in Big i Walnut. They had captured when caught nine bass of good size, that ; would weigh from j to 1£ pounds each, and several bass not so large. Two good and responsible parties saw the seining party with their seine in the stream and saw them land and string part of the fish, afterwa-ds one of the witnesses examined the string of fish and the man in charge of it, thus fully completing the evidence for this violation of the law about which so much complaint has been made for several years. An examination of the stream in the vicinity where the seining party were operating revealed the fact that they had seined the creek for about J of a mile, all the pools for that distance or more having been swept. Fortunately the man in charge of the fish proved to he one of our very best colored citizens who, by the way, had taken no part in the seining, and who will, when called upon, tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth concerning the matter. The chief offender, we are informed, is a man against whom other charges for seining will be presented to the next grand jury, and was charged with having a seine in his possession last season. It remains to be seen what action the grand jury will take in this case, but we are assured that, in case they fail to act, the matter will be investigated by affidavit and information. It must be borne in mind that the president of the fish and game protection association of Putnam county, is ottering a reward of $10 for evidence that will convict for seining or dynamiting fish in any case other than the aboye that have occurred in Putnam county at any time within the last 22 months.

Brazil Tiim*a. The shooting of Sherman Johnson of Harmony, List Tuesday by his young sister. Airs. Andrew Stipleton, seems to have been the natural consequence of a stormy domestic career. Sherman had frequently been in our police courts on charges of peace disturbing, etc., usually filed by his mother and sister. In fact the disturbances and complaints becams so general that the police and constables finally refused to have anything more to do with the affair further than issue warning that the next occasion would result in rigid prosecution. The family was first brought into notoriety by the alleged bewitching business in Esquire James’ court when Sherman was answering to a peace warning sworn out by the son of Andrew Stapleton, who alleged that Sherman had sworn to kill his father. This brought out a story of ruptured connubial felicity and of an unhappy domestic career in the family of Stapleton, who is an old man, his wife being hut 16 years of age. The young wife claimed that her husband was a wizaid and kept her under a spell, sensationalizing her assertion by having one of her “spells” in court. At one time it was thought she would die, hut she recovered and notice has been made of her condition from time to time since, until our readers are thoroughly familiar with the ease. Through all this time Sherman’s name appeared frequently as a distuibing element, which culminated rather tragically last Tuesday, when Mrs. Stapleton shot her brother Sherman through the left thigh. At first it was thought the wound was painful but not serious. However, the physicians in attendance probed deep and carefully, but were unable to locate the ball. It is said that the wound was probed to the knee, where the ball was believed to have lodged in the bone. An incision was made at the knee and the bone searched for the ball, without avail. Johnson’s condition is now considered quite serious. A friend coming from there last night informed a Times reporter that it was believed blood poison had set in the wound and that he feared for Johnson’s life, as he was suffering a great deal and the wound looked bad. In the meantime Mrs. Stapleton is calmly resting in jail at Greencastle under $1,000 bond awaiting the outcome of her brother’s wound and the actions of the courts. Dr. Harry Gilford informed us this afternoon tnat he examined Johnson Wednesday and found his condition so serions that Johnson’s death would prove no surprise. He went to Harmony this afternoon to make another examination.

Don’t Lik«* Nurli AdvortiBint?. New Vlbttuy Tribune. “When a whisky drummer came to this city several weeks ago selling liquor put up in pint flasks upon which was the emblem of the G. A. R., the proprietors of several ot the saloons thought they would be drawing cards during the G. A. R. encampment and made heavy purchases. The soldiers of the city have been objecting to the manner in which the emblem was used, claiming that it was a violation of the law and in order to end the controversy some of the saloon pro prietors have pasted labels over the emblem.”
