HELD UP Al Fields and His Dog Battle With Tramps. Al G. Fields the minstrel man, I was held up by two tramps in the J Clover Leaf railroad yards at Marion at 7:30 o'clock Saturday evenring. His private car was standing at Fourteenth street and he attempted to walk to the theater for the evening performance, not knowing iit was so great a distance. After wandering in the yards for fifteen minutes the became lost and when near Eighth street was attacked by two tramps, with the demand to give up his money. Mr Fields was accompanied by his large St. Bernard dog that follows him on his tours. Thhe dog was started after the tramps and they were soon routed. One was severely’ bitten and left a trail of blood behind him in the yards. The minstrel man succeeded in reaching the theatre half an hour late and reported the affair to the police, who made a search for tbe tramps without discovering them.

ANOTHER FALL Crude Oil Goes Down Another Peg.— Quoted Now at $1.20. What is the meaning of the conI tinued drop in the price paid by the Standard Oil company for the crude product? Thi sis the question that is causing a whole lot of worriment in the minds of many Indiana operators. For some time the price has been going down with surprising jumps and is now worth only <1.20 per barrel. It is thought to be a move on the part of the Standard to force holders of oil to sell out quickly. All during the winter season there has been a continual string of complaints sent out from the refineries to the effect that they could not get enough oil to supply the demand for the refined product. Now in the very face of these facts the price goes dropping, dropping, and there is at yet no indication of a stoppage.

TO CUT RATES Railways Are Scrapping Among Themselves Over Fair. It is altogether probable that there will lie the biggest passenger rate war beween the railroads of this territory over the business to the St. Louis fair this summer ever known and that people will be able to attend the exposition from this city at much lower rates than those announced previously. Trouble has already arisen among the roads in the east and there is a disposition to cut rates announced by the Central Traffic association, certain roads claiming what are called “differentials," that, is a lower rate, because of unfavorable connections, equipments, etc. Such a fight has already begun between the Baltimore & Ohio,, the Pennsyl vania,the Big Four and the Pittsburg & Lake Erie and the different question is the bone of contention.

THE AXTELLS. Patehen Wilkes farm, Lexington, Ky., owners of Patchen Wilkes and Onward, two of the most noted trotting stallions in Kentucky, when in need of new blood to fuse with tne get of these two great stallions, certainly as exjierienced breeders, they would select from a family that not only produce race horses, but produce horses that are individually faultless as drivers and bring the highest prices in their class. This farm selected Axtellion 1:15| by Axtell 2:12 (3). To demonstrate to you that they made no mistake in their selection we need only refer you to their consignment to the Chicago horse sale last week where they sold forty head for an average of 8385 per head, and not one of these colts bad a public record. The fact they were from the loins of three of the greatest stallions of the land, Patchen Wilkes, Onward and Axtell was enough to assure any horseman that he was getting the worth of his money. Axinite 2:17| (3), brother in blood to Axtellion 2:15 J, is the sire of Francis, one half mile l:03| (trial) that sold at BlairBaker sale at Indianapolis one year ago for 83500. Helga 2:12| (trial) that sold at the same city last Wednesday for 51350. He is also the sire of Grander 35996, a very handsome young stallion owned by A. N. Aeder, Pleasant Mills, Indiana.
