The members of the City School Board had a meeting last evening and talked over the idea of new school building. Some of the members of the Council were present. The idea, and it is eminently a proper one, is to secure a central location and then erect a building that will be an honor and credit to our city. No barn goes. We want a building that will be conducive to the health of our children. The present buildings are not properly heated and they are over crowded. Do not let a few hundred dollars stand in the way of the best location, nor in putting up a building with all of the latest sanitary advantages and improvements.

KOUBEKS AT FORTVILLE.

Blood Hounds on a Trail—A Dog With a Great Record.

Last Sunday night-the general store of T. L. Springer, at Fortville, was entered and a small quantity of merchandise was taken. Ou Monday a purse was made up and Mr. Carter and his blood hounds, of Seymour, sent for. Upon his arrival the dogs were given the s?enfc in the store where the robbers had been—all others having beeu shut out of that part of the store—and they at once started on a trail. One led out in the country, and on being allowed to enter a house the dog went up to a bed aud looked in on a man who was in the bed. The other dog followed another trail and went to a house in Fortville, and in this house two families lived. The evidence was not accepted as conclusive in warranting arrests, as none were made. Mr. Carter said one of his dogs had a fine record, as twentyfive men that had been tracked by him were now in the penitentiary, two others had been hung and two others were awaiting tri*l. Seymour, from having been one of the most lawless places in the State, is now largely free from robberies of any kiud. If robbers feel that they are to be tracked by blood hounds, they hesitate ong before tackling a job, as detection is almost certain. The men who have the dogs do not let go of the strap with which the dog is fastened, but hold it in one hand and a revolver in the other. The hounds ate not, as a mRjority of people imagine, wild, ferocious dogs that go charging around, but are quiet, mildmannered dogs, with a wonderfully acute sense of smell that enables them to follow a trail, no matter how many people cross it or tramp around over it. Mr. Carter let a large number of men go ahead of his dog, but the dog just wound in and out and followed the trail he had started on without any hesitation. The people of Fortville have decided that they will stop robberies in that section and now have $45 in bank awaiting the next case of robbery when the blood hounds will at once be sent for. The Gardner Brothers, of Fortville, also have a fine litter of blood hound pups, and it will not be long uutil Hancock county will not have to send beyond her own boundaries for dogs to track evil doers.
