OX THE AVARPAT1I AXD XOW 11EIXG TRACKED WITH BLOODHOUXDS. Tried to Blurder an Old Soldier . at Ellzaville Xegro Emery Moss Gets . Two Tears at Marlon. , Special to the Indianapolia Journal. LEBANON, Ind., March 23. For the past fifteen years "Indian Jim": Powell and his two sons, Jeff and Wes, have been the terrors of this vicinity. Up to a few years ago they lived together in a log house three miles east of this city, i where they would retreat after having committed some depredation, and successfully resist arrest. About three years ago Wes was sent, to the penitentiary for assault and battery with intent to kill a neighbor, and "Indian Jim" moved to Frankfort, while Jeff remained near the old home and engaged in farming. About a year ago :he house3 and barns of the vicinity began to take fire and burn up with alarming frequency, and this ceased after Jeff had been indicted and arrested on three different charges of arson. He was successfully defended against all these and was released a few days ago. Last night he lay in wait for John Stephenson, an old soldier who had testified against him, and assaulted him with a rock tied in a handkerchief, seriously injuring him, just as the latter was entering the church at Ellzaville, eight miles north of this city. Stephenson's cries brought help, but Powell escaped. . . A posse was at once organized and, after an all-night search, two of the officers came on him at the' home of Hugh Bercaw. Powell stepped out and told them they tould not take him alive and the officers, knowing the character of the man, allowed him to escape while-they: went after reinforcements. Bloodhounds were put on the trail to-day, and he is being tracked toward Frankfort. Should he reach his father's home there will, doubtless, be bloodshed before he is taken. The citizens of the vicinity were highly excited last night, and had Powell fallen into their hands, he would have fared badly. Stephenson's , head is badly pounded and he may not recover.

Last night a great, stalwart negro, giving his name as Andrew Jackson, was brought to the police station with his hands tied securely behind him. He had been found in the cellar of Dr. Marsee's house, at No. 153 North East street, by Merchant policeman Miller, and was charged with housebreaking. The officer had found the man and, summoning help, had tied his hands with a piece of rope. He evidently considered Jackson ajs a dangerous man, as he kept him covered with a revolver until the patrol wagon arrived and took him off his hands. Jackson says he just went into fhe cellar to take a sleep, but as he had money enough to pay for a bed, it is thought that he meant to take more than a sleep. Pearl Smith' Resort Raided. The resort kept by Pearl Smith, on West Ohio street, near the canal, was raided last night by the police, and eighteen persons were arrested, six being inmates of the house and the others visitors. The Smith woman was arrested some time ago, and was then ordered to close her place, but did not obey. Miss Lemmen has gone to New York for a week to secure the latest styles In gowns.
