Francesville Lad Attempts To Imitate Willis—In Jail.

Fred Schmidt, a Francesville young mtan of nineteen years of age, is in jail on a charge of assault and battery with fntent to commit rape on Esther Swin, the twelve year old daughter of Albert Swing and wife, living two miles southeast of Francesville. The assault was committed last Thursday evening while the girl was on her way home from school at Francesville. She was near the Monon bridge when attacked by Schmidt, who said he was out along the ditch looking after some traps, he had set. She screamed and fought him off,. and as Herman Jentz was working in a field not far distant Schmidt let her go and went to town. The girl went on home, where she told of her experience. Upon her description of her assailant Schmidt was arrested. He asserted his innocence, but when taken before the girl she identified him. He then admitted that he had attacked her, and plead guilty in er’s court to the charge of assault with intent. He was bound over to the circuit court, and Sheriff Zellers went to Francesville after him Friday, taking him to the Rochester jail to await trial in the circuit court. Schmidt is a son of John Schmidt now dead but who used to run a saloon at Franeesville The young man has been living at Kankakee, 111, hut came hack to Pulaski county recently. It appears that he has been traveling in bad company, and is said to be pretty much of a smart-alec.

Alfalfa the Coming Hay Crop in Jasper County.

The indications are that the acreage of alfalfa in Jasper county will be increased considerable in the next year. Some small plats were started in the late summtor and are going in the winter in good shape. Pullin Bros., of the Iroquois farm, have lately received a shipment of 1,500 pounds of the seed. Where the land is well prepared and a special drill is used this anjount Would be sufficient for 100 acres. They expect to use about one-half of it and the remainder is for friends, mostly near neighbors who, having seen yields of four to five tons produced per acre for several years, have b come convinced that one and a half tons per acre of timothy is an unworthy crop from land having a valuation of SIOO to $175 per acre, and they are correct in this conclusion. Furthermore, the feeding value of timothy is rated at $9.80 per ton, and alfalfa at $22.40. At this calculation which is from government' authority, one aftfe of average alfalfa has as much feeding value as Is being produced on six and onetenth acres of good timothy. The cost of producing an acre of qern under Illinois conditions is rated at $20.50 with the ordinary items of expense. This includes the replacing the fertility the crop removes. Counting the yield at 40 bushels and the price at 50 cents we are compelled to admit that the (producer actually was loosing 60 cents per acre; yet under the same rules of computation the average returns from alfalfa was $66 per acre, so from this data we may conclude that It will be one of the crops than can be profitably' produced after land values have again doubled and tripled. The movement in Barkley is a highly commendable one and we urge those iwho can properly prepare a plat however small, to get started. Within ten years from now it will be a eonrmori crop and you will wonder how you ever managed to get along without It so long.

MRS. E. S. TILLMAN KILLED AT HAMMOND

fehpaway Team Turn Onto Sidewalk Crushing Her Against Wall of Building. The sad news reached here last evening of the death of Mrs. E. S. Tillman, formerly Miss Bessie King, at her home in Hammond, where Prof. Tillman is an instructor in the science department of the Hammond high school. iMrs. Tiliman was down town, walking on one of the business streets, when a runaway team of draught horses rushed onto the sidewalk and crushed her against the wall of a building, killing hsr almost instantly. The team was hitched to a large delivery wagon from Chicago, which was delivering goods at the stores. The driver had entered one of the stores leaving*the team standing unhitched, the horses took fright and ran away. In the path of the frightened team was Mrs. Tillman and two children, and it was her attempt to save the children that caused her death. She grabbed the little ones and got them to a place of safety but was unable to save herself, the wagon striking her and causing her almost instant death. She was taken to an undertaking establishment and it was an hour before her identity was discovered. She had an appointment withj her husband to take dinner with (him upon her return from the postoffice, and he vainly awaited in the school laboratory her coming to meet him. Mrs. Tillman was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. King, of Rensselaer, and before her marriage was librarian of the public library here. At that time Mr. Tillman was one of the instructors in the Rensselaer high school. Bessie, as she was known before her marriage, was a beautiful woman, of a sweet disposition and loved by all who knew her. She was 28 years of age. She was married five years ago In Rensselaer to E. S. Tillman. The first two years, of their marriage was spent in Lebanon, where Mr. Tillman taught school. From there they moved to Hammond.

The remains were brought to Rensselaer this afternoon on the Hoosier Limited and taken to the home of her parents. Her husband and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Tillman, of North Manchester, and Jesse E. Wilson, of Hammond, and her brother, Fred King, of Winona and sister Edna King, of Rensselaer, accompanied the body here, the two latter having gone to Hammond on receipt of the news of her death. Mr. Tillman’s sister, Coral, will be here this evening. The funeral will be held at the M. E. church Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Interment will take place at Weston cemetery.

The Christian church will dedicate its remodeled building next Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock. Dr. I. N. MeCash will preach at all three services on Sunday.

CAR STRIKE ENDS IN INDIANPOLIS

Militia Was Not Needed and Will Be Sent Home Today or Tomorrow. Indianapolis, Nov. 7.—The strike of the employes of the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal Company was settled late today through the efforts of Governor Ralston. The employes won their demand-tor-arbitration, but in the terms of settlement nothing is said about recognition of the union. Street car service is to he resumed within twelve hours, according to the agreement, which also provides against any further interference with the operation of cars. All the men who were In the employ of the company Friday night, Oct. 31, when the strike was called, and all employes who had been discharged on account" of joining the union are to be reinstated by the company with* full seniority righes and without prejudice. The company, however, is pot compelled to reinstate men who engaged in Violence during the strike, but the rejected men may appeal to the public utilities commission of Indiana for a hearing. Disputes and (grievances as to wages, hours, conditions and service will he referred to the utilities commission for arbitration if the company and employes fail to reach a mutual agreement within ten days. The settlement of the strike means that the 2,000 members of the Indiana National Guard, who were called to Indianapolis yesterday on order of the" governor for strike duty, will be dispatched to their home stations as soon as possible The strike, which began a week ago tonight, has resulted in four deaths and injuries to a hundred or more persons. Until yesterday, when the city quieted down the downtown streets have been the scenes of almost continuous rioting. A large amount of damage has been done to property. ( Both sides claim a victory in the settlement of the strike. The union officials declare that they won their main Contention, which was a demand for arbitration of all disputes. The railway company asserts it won its fight not to recognize the union.

Credit lor the settlement of the strike is given to Governor Ralston, who has been untiring in his efforts to bring the company and its employes together. News of the strike settlement was received with joy by .the National guardsmen who have been quartered in Indianapolis since Thursday. Twenty-four hours of inactivity in their improvised barracks ihad begun to get on the nerves of both officers and men, and there was general rejoicing when it became known that they would leave for their homes today. Adjt. Gen. McCoy said last night the departure will be begun about noon. For moat of the troops, especially those quartered in the Btate House baseipent, their stay in Indianapolis is about as pleasant as a term in Jail. Not permitted to go outside their quarters, the soldiers have had little to do but sleep and eat. The ordinary camp duties are lacking with the exception of guard duty, which requires *only a small force. The only amusements are playing cards and singing and the officers are without even these relaxations. Maj. S. M. Compton, brigade quartermaster and a civil war veteran, yesterday solved the problem of providing hot food for the First Regiment at the State House. He had two camp ranges set up in the holler room with “:the stove pipes extending Into the doors of. the Are boxes. Bread, bacon, beans, beef and coffee constitute the ration of

the troops. Coffee is made by placing a ten-pound bag in a ten-gal-lon milk can, adding an egg and filling the can with boiling water. At the four armories, where the remainder of the troops are quartered, better cooking facilities are provided and the men are able to sleep more comfortably. Col. H. B. Smith of the Second Regiment reached Indianapolis yesterday afternoon and immediately took charge at his command. < His hedaoukrters and two battallions of the regiment are at the armory at Thirteenth street and Ashland avenue and the other battalion is at the Battery A armory, Sixteenth street and Senate avenue. (President Mackintosh, of Wabash college, called on Governor Ralston and obtained permission for the five members of the Crawfordsville company, who are on the Wabash football team, to be relieved. They departed for Crawfordsville at once. The five men are to play with Wabash in the game with Earth rim. Curious crowds gathered around the State House during the day, but no attacks ar Indignities were attempted. The rule forbidding any guardsmen to appear on the streets was enforced rigidly against officers and men alike. It was estimated that the total Cost of bringing the roops to Indianapolis will amount to nearly SIO,OOO, including pay, transportation and maintenance while in the city. No tabulation of expenses, however, has been made.
