Nice Florida oranges, 20 cents a dozen, at John Eger’s. David R. Devine, telegraph operator, recently arrested at Cleveland, 0., pleaded guilty to the charge of bigamy in the circuit court at Pontiac, Mich., Monday.

He fell a week ago and broke his leg. The attending physicians set his leg, using steel plates, which were screwed into the bone. Infection followed. As a result of the murder of August Dickman, a policeman, by Archie Butehins, a negro, race feeling became so strong Monday at Kankakee, 111., that several negroes were driven out of the city. Several families left voluntarily. Fred Schintz, a farmer at Mishawaka, saved $243 and went to Chicago to “see the sights.” Two men in the LaSalle street station greeted him as an old friend. He showed them his money. They carefully wrapped it in paper and pretended to hand it back. He told the police about it and then went home. The dredge has been shut down again tor several dafys, owing to a broken cable. Another had been ordered from St. Louis but had not arrived and a new one was procured tips morning from Chicago, having been sent flown by express. It weighed a little over 500 pounds. The hoisting cables are subject to frequent breaks. John O’Connor, former sheriff of this county, has purchased of Robert Michal the former French property on Cullen street, at present occupied by Mrs. James West and family.

Willis and it is understood Mr. O’Connor will move here from Kniman the first of the year. : Harry Garver, 30 years old, shot and killed his uncle, Watt King, at their home northwest of Shelbyville Monday night. King’s wife is dead and the nephew arid his wife are separated and the two men had been living together recently. Garver’s actions have been such during the last few weeks as to cause the belief that he is demented. A report on the streets Today was to the effect that W. L. Wood, the Parr storekeeper, had caused the arrest of two other parties as suspects in the recent robbery. The rumor’ is false, however, and no other arrests have been made. Mr. Wood, however, has some other parties under suspicion, and it is not improbable that other arrests will* be made. Harry Jones, secretary-treasurer of the International Assoication of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, and George E. Davis an iron worker, were indicted by a federal grand jury at Indianapolis Monday on a charge of conspiracy to transport dynamite and nitroglycerin unlawfully. Both indictments were based on Davis’ alleged confession. John Copsey, for some time the baker at - Barnes’ restaurant, 'has severad connections with that concern and is moving to Lafayette. His household goods were shipped yesterday and Mrs. Copsey will remain here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs Monroe Carr, until their things arrive at their new home. Mr. Oopsey formerly lived in Lafayette and has secured employment there. Mr. and Mrs. iMack Quinlan, Mrs. Joseph Halligan and Miss Maggie Halligan left this morning for New Orleans, La., Where they will spend the winter. Mrs. Quinlan is an invalid spent several winters in the south. Mr. and Mrs. Quinlan reside at Fairmount, Ind., but spend considerable time with their relatives *in this county. Mrs. Nathan Feudig accompanied them to New Orleans and will spend the winter there with her two daughters. Attorney John Westfall, who came here from Whiting several months ago, has been absent for some time and it is understood left with his family for some place in the west, leaving hit' household goods stored here. Today relatives from Remington are packing the household goods to ship to them. Mr. Westfall is said to be a very able attorney, but for some time past he has not been succeeding at his practice, due to some personal habits, it is said, and while here he worked for a time as a farm hand and other labor. It is sincerely hoped that .he gets hold of thimself and starts life anew in his western home. The Indianapolis Star suggests that all persons who have no business on the streets of that city refrain from bdng there. Crowds encourage the rioters and there are some ready to take advantage of any opportunity for violence, notwithstanding the fact that {rim strike leaders are appealing for order. In the interest of law and order the city government has forbidden people on the streets. A bystander was killed Tuesday. Hereafter idle bystanders will not be regarded innocent but guilty and required to move on. Indications point to the settlement of the strike without serious difficulty and fur* thur peace efforts are on foot.
