WANTS DANCE STOPPED; SHOT GUN TURNS TRICK.

Delphi, Ind., June 23. —Excitement reigned supreme at a dance given in the old Guthrie school house in Rock Creek township Saturday evening, when a lunatic named Beecher Guthrie appeared at a window armed with a loaded shot gun and ordered the revelers to disperse and go home. The crowd obeyed the command, except a few braver ones, who hid in a nearby wheatfield, until Guthrie left. The lunatic was taken into custody on Sunday morning by Sheriff McCormick.
