Here is a problem for some of the High school pupils to work out.

The Attachment Proceedings Against Scott & Co. Were Defeated at Shelbyville.

On Thursday of last week the attachment proceedings brought by the three Indianapolis firms, Henley & Smith, Fahnley & McCrea and McKee & Co. against Scott & Co. of this city were tried at Shtlby ville. The amount involved was $1,700. The trial was strongly contested on both sides and lasted thiee days. The plaintiffs were represented by Poulson & McBane of Greenfield and Hord & Adams of Shelbyville, while S. A. Wray and Marsh & Cook of this city and Judge Glessner of Shelbyville looked after the interests of Scott & Co. Wm. R. Hough and Montgomery Marsh also represented some other creditors. Although the trial lasted nearly three days, the jury were out but a few minutes and then rendered a verdict in favor of Scott & Co. The plaintiffs are therefore in for the costs and the store will be in possession of John H. Binford the assignee, after an order from Court is obtained. It is not known just yet how matters will be arranged. In case Mr. Scott can effect a compromise with his creditors he will take the goods and continue the business if not, they will be sold by the assignee and he will settle with the creditors. The result of the case places, Scott & Co. in a much better position and gives all the creditors equal rights. The three firms who brought the suits may be sued for heavy damages on three counts at least.

John W. Jones formerly of this city will probably be the Republican nominee lor Congress, in his district this year. His opponent will be the sockless statesman, Jerry Simpson.

Close of School No. 1 Btickcreek. On Thursday Mar. 24th, 1892 the school at No. 1 in Buckcreek Tp. taught by Arthur Simpson, closed in M, very delightful manner. At an early hour the people assembled with baskets well filled, and at high noon an elegant dinner was spread before those present which was appreciated by all. The forenoon exercise consisted of regular recitations, and the afternoon was devoted to recitations dialogues and songs by the little folks, and instrumental music by Miss Mary Rumler, Ed Kellar our former teacher and Mr. Hills of McCordsville. At the conclusion of the exercise, Mr. Ed Kellar came foward and preseneed their teacher w: th a handsome plush album bought by the pupils. Mr. Simpson, with tears flowing unbidden down his cheek received the same and in a nice appropriate speech expressed his appreciation. The pupils come foward and after bidding him farewell, with trembling hands and moistened cheek, the day closed in a manner which will be remembered by all of us who were present. Mr. Simpson has

taught a very successful term and it is our desire with many others, that he may return again next fall to take charge of the school for another term.

THE two Democratic papers of Indianapolis, the News aad the Sentinel are both now out for Cleveland and say the Indiana Democratic Delegation to Chicago must be so instructed. The News has been fighting hard for Cleveland for some time but the Sentinel did not catch the drift of things until after Shanklins bold speech for Cleveland last week. On Monday of this week it came out squarely for Cleveland and said the delegation must be so instructed. Ex Governor Gray however refuses to step down and out and the result is a fine Democratic fight which will able the Republicans to more easily carry Indiana this fall.

MR. LEONARD WILD one of the best business men of Noblesville aud one of Hamilton Countys most reliable and substantial citizens will be a candidate for State treasurer before the Republican Convention at Ft. Wayne iu June. Mr. Wild is a native of Germany but has been a citizen of this State in Hamilton county for thirty-seven years. He has been engaged in the mercantile business and farming. For the past eight years he has been conducting his farming business exclusively and is both practical and successful. Mr. Wild would add strength to the state ticket. Since Hancock county lias no candidate it can not do better than support Mr. Wild. From a long personal acquaintance the editor of the REPUBLICAN strongly indorses Mr. Wild.
