A man, claiming to be a detective from the metropolis of Indianapolis came to town last night and gave an excellent illustration of amateur detective -work. His stunt might well be the subject for a dime novel. The detective was looking for a man by the name of James Baker, accused of wife desertion. He arrived in town In the evening, and hunted up officer Grimes. Together they began th^round of the boarding houses. They called at the Sims Hotel itnd found there a man by the name of Baker, which at once aroused all the detective's latent suspicion. He was told by the proprietor of the hotel that th%description did not fit, but this made no difference. The man was called upon and questioned. By this time Mrs. Sims had become suspicious of the selfstyled detective, and ordered him to show his credentials, or get out of the house. He at once left, in company with Officer Grimes. A little later Mrs. Sims heard a noise in the hall and discovered later that the detective had returned, slipped into the house, gone to Baker’s room, and insisted on spending the night with him, that the prisoner might not escape. He left the house early
this morning.
Officer Grimes this morning called up Indianaoplis and attempted to find the standing of the queer detective, but was unsuccessful. Baker, the man made uncomfortable by the intrusion, has been at the hotel only a few days. His description does not, it is said, tally closely with that of the man wanted.

ARE PREPARING STATISTICS
Recorders Offlce Asked to Furnish the State Bureau of Statistics Oertiiin Facts Relative to Real Estate in Putnam County.
DID NOT GET DAMAGES
Bought Liquor, Sustained Injuries, Silt'd and Lost.
The recorder’s offlce Is very much rushed these days preparing statistics for the State Bureau of Statistics. The offlce is asked to furnish to the bureau the number of deeds recorded during the year and the value of each. Also an estimate of the real estate in the county and the number of mortgages filed against it, together with the value of these mortgages. . Also a list of the mortgages against real estate In Greencastle, and a list of the mortgages satisfied during the year. This entails a considerable extra work on the office force, and they receive no remuneration for It at all. The statistics thus obtained are of great value to the state tax board and to other state officials.

The Brazil Democrat tells the story of a peculiar law suit as follows: After deliberating for less than twenty minutes the jury in the damage suit of Henry Fagin against Thos. Johnson returned a verdict for the defendant in the Circuit court last evening. Fagin bought suit against Thomas Johnson, a former saloonkeeper and druggist of Saline City who is now conducting a grocery store at that place, for $2,000 for the loss of a leg. Fagin claimed that he bought some “nerve tonic” from Johnson while the latter was running a drug store at SallneNCity and that he got so drunk on the “tonic” that he fell out of his wagon on attempting to drive home and his leg was caught in a wheel and so badly mangled that it had to be amputated. Witnesses testified that the “nerve tonic” was a bluish liquid and must have been almost pure alcohol. Several witnesses testified to having got drunk on the tonic which the/ purchased at Johnson’s drug store. It took the jury but li few minutes to come to the conelucsion that Fagin had himself to blame for the loss of his leg and that he was not entitled to recover damages from Johnson.
