In order to reach there Mr. Bowie had to come to Rensselaer by automobile, remain here until the early morning train and go to Indianapolis on it. At 2 o’clock this Tuesday afternoon The Republican received the following message from Mr. Bowie: “Train continued; case dismissed after arguments by request of Gen eral Manager Jackson.” The train will then continue to run, which speaks well for the manner in which Mr. Bowie has again presented the claims of the people and all will be mighty glad at the success he has made.
