VICTIM IS TAKEN TO BRAZIL
Alisolnm Young Who I'scd the Knife Is Arrested and Taken Refore the Grand Jury—Men Were Itiisiness Partners and Had Gone to Rouehdale 1o do a Job <d' Work—Trouble Started iti a Saloon.
In a light eaused by a dispute ovr the merits of the county local o r law a; hdale yesterday >on, Ahsoluui Young stabbed and probably fatally injured his business partner Edward Barr. Both men live In Brazil. The fight occurred in a house just outside of Roachdale where the men had gone to do a plastering job. Harr was badly cut In five places. One of the outs severed a rib and penetrated his stomach. Another slash across his back is nearly seven inches long. The men belong to the firm of Young, Barr and Griffin, plasterers, of Brazil. Lately the men secured a contract for work >n Uoschdiile and Mr. Young-and Mr. Barr went to that town to look after the job. Eon Hilbtirn, of this city, wa engaged to assist them. Immediately after the cutting Barr was given medical attention.
Later he was brought here from Roachdale and then taken to his home in Brazil by interurban. His physicians there say he is in a critical condition. Young was arrested and Brought to Greencastle and locked up. Ben Hilhurn tells the following story of the affair. He says that tin* men were opposite In political beliefs. One is a Democrat and th ■ other a Republican. Yesterday a noon the men went to a saloon in Roachdale and an argument regarding the local option law was indulged in. Tlie men continued their argument on the way to their work from the saloon and on the way out Young drew a knife. Hilhurn, who was with the men. pursuaded Young to put the weapon back in his poekot and trouble was averted at that time. After the men reached the house, however, the argument was again taken up and Young again drew his knife. When Young drew the knife Barr picked ui) some rocks and throw one at Young. Then Young began to slash. The rock thrown by Barr struck Young in the head and out quite a gash. This morning Young was taken before the Grand Jury and it is probable that the jury will indict him fo: assault With intent to kill.

Confusion having arisen in some parts of tlie state over a conflict in tlie law relating to the election of township advisory boards, and the committee having been Besieged wilh inquiries, Merrill W. Moores of Indianapolis, lias suBmitted an opinion to the Republican state committee in which he holds that advisory boards are not to be elected at the coming election. Judge Macy of ■ ' Inchester and B. F. Corwin, an al-
i
lorney of Greencastle, had held that (lie advisory boards should he elected this fall. Mr. Moores takes a different view and says no. He says: ‘The statutes are quite ambiguous and the question was submitted to Attorney General Miller in 1900, and he decided that inasmuch as previous attorney generals had held that tlie general election for township officers' was at the state elections, and that as the change of the time for electing trustees and assessors was only to provide a special election for that purpose, no township elections for other officers than those of trustees and assessors should lie held between the quadrennial elections for township officers, especially as the terms of township trustees elected after the first election were for four years from 1902 and every four years thereafter.”
