The report of a daylight robbery, and the shooting of Ora Wiggins, 15 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Wiggins, who live on the W. C. Budding farm north of here, caused great excitement Tuesday morning.

Officers, doctors, neighbors, and a brace of bloodhounds rushed to the scene of the burglary and shooting, and excitement ran high in that community. The boy was alone at home, his parents having gone to help a neighbor, Mr. Snider, with butchering work. His story is that about 8 o'clock, while outside, he noticed a side door open and suspecting burglars, he entered the house through the kitchen and picked up an iron rod there. As he started to enter the front room a man, who was bending over the open dresser drawers fired at him with a revolver, and when he made a show to use the w-eapon in his hands, the burglar shot again, both bullets passing through the boy's clothing and entering the wall.

Then the boy said he threw the iron rod at the burglar who ran out the front door. The boy ran to the back door, but found he could not open it and he also ran out of the front door and saw the burglar running down the lane towards the creek. Then he ran to the neighbor's house where his parents were and reported what had occurred, and asked his father if he had any money in the house. The neighborhood was soon aroused and fearing the boy was hurt, two physicians were summoned, also the sheriff and a brace of bloodhounds.

A great crowd gathered as the search progressed, but no suspici-ous-looking persons were found. Many people went to the scene from this city and participated in the excitement of the man hunt.

Later in the day the scene shifted to this city, when it was reported that a man answering the description given by the boy, had been located. The boy was brought to the mayor's office in company with the prosecuting attorney, who had been summoned to take his testimony. Ho failed to identify any one, as the burglar, however, and a further court of inquiry was held at the mayor's office and the boy's complete story reduced to writing.

PENSION RULE CONFUSING

Checks Held Up By Order Regarding Checks in Letters.

The ruling of the pension bureau that no letter containing a check may be delivered to a pensioner, has caused some trouble to pensioners living in Indianapolis, and more or less confusion at the postoffice. Under the ruling of the pension department, no letter containing a check may be delivered to a pensioner unless he lives at the address on file at the pension office. The ruling instructs the postoffice to return the letter to Washington, no matter if the new address of the pensioner is known to the local carrier. This ruling is printed on the letters containing the pension checks.

The Indianapolis postoffibe has returned a number of letters to Washington and the pension depart ment has sent out "tracer" letters to ascertain the new address. These letters contain the same printed ruling that is on the regular pension letter, and the postoffice can not deliver them. As a result many pensioners have received their checks late this quarter, and the postoffice has been forced to return two letters to Washington. If the printed ruling had not been on the "tracer' letter, it would have been delivered to the pensioner, with instructions to furnish his new address to the department.—Indianapolis News.
