Such representative democrats as the Hon. Allen Zollars of Ft. Wayne, the Hon. John tl. Shanklin of Fvansville, the Hon. Thomas Tafcuart of Indianapolis, and others, give the committer a high individualized character. Mr. Taegart will be the chairman without doubt. Frankfort Crescent. One day during Christmas week. George Ross of this rounty, wishing to celebrate, bored a hole in a huge Ior, filled it with powder and touched it off.

Madison Democrat. The McKinley high tariff knocked out dollar wheat and reduced the price of wiol about one-half. The sale of horses has also been nearly wiped out under the high tariff, and the worst kind of business stagnation spread over the country when the McKinley law was in full operation. No wonder there is a demand for the' repeal of a law that operates like that. I -a port e Argus. Sullivan has the reputation of being the liveliest city of its size in the state.

"We regret to announce that J. H. Cornell met with a very painful accident yesterday. While carefully feeling arrund in a dark cellar f r apples his hand came in contact with the hairy surface of a salted hide, which startled hint to such an extent that he jumied off his feet and crashed his head against the overhead joist.

After lingering in an unconscious condition for the past few days "Aunty" Haldy. as she is familiarly known, parsed quietly away in lief room at the old ladies' home Friday morning at r.:ij o'clock, at the extreme age of pi-4 years, two months and twelve days. Since the accident that befell her Friday of last week, when she fell and broke her hip. she has leen in a h-dpkss condition and required the constant care of an attendant to be ever ready to administer to her wants. Terre Hute Gazette. No legislation In recent years has caused the comment that has be-n occasioned by the report of the majority of the ways and means committee on the income proposition. The republican party, true to its devotion to th favored classes, bitterly opposes the plan, but it now looks like the bill will become a law. Should it do so the man with an income of over $4. 000 would have to pay '1 per cent, on the overplus. This will place the burden on the backs of those who are alle to bear it. Rlxunington World. The newspaper is one of the most important factors of the world, says an exchange, it has grown as absolutely necessary as one's meat and drink. The man who does not read the papers is a fossil and his place would be better tilled by a live man. The woman who never reads the paper has for the burden of her conversation gossip atout her neighbors. The newspajer keeps one In touch with the world. It tells what has been done and what has yet to be done. A home without a paper in it is n,t complete. Goshen Times. Thomas Jones, a proinintr.t farmer of Spencer county dropped dad in church at Dale. Ind., last Sunday morning while teaching a Sunday-school class. Mr. Jones had asked a pupil a question and before a reply could be given he fell to the floor, dying Immediately. The deceased was an active member in the methodlst church at that place. He was sixty-five years of age and married. He was as well known throughout Indiana conference as in Sjencer county. One of his brothers is a prominent methodist minister, stationed at Indianapolis. Padd' Corbett concluded not to go to the trouble of turning off the lights last night when he closed his place on the Rialto. He simply took his gun and shot 'em out. Every time Paddy pulled the trigger out went an electric light. Uy th time the gun was empty the place was dark and a crowd had gathered on the outside. When Paddy was ready to go home he simply kicked a glass out of the door and walked through. It cost nobody nothing and it was his own fun. lie paid the freight and no one was hurt. Anderson Rulletin. Tuesday a young man called on Sheriff Sherry and asked to be locked up. He stated that he had collected money for Sheets, the North Side dairyman, and had not accounted for it. The fellov gave his name as R. M. Minor. He was placed behind the bars by the amazed sheriff who was almost dumfounded by the Ptranpe request. So far as can be learned Minor collected J31.4." and spent it. As yet no charge has been filed against him. Wednesday Minor made his shortage good with Mr. Sheets and was released. Muncie Herald.

zation of this county claims to be a party of economy and honesty, and yet, in the face of one of the worst panics this country has ever had, they have added $43.0oO to the county debt. 1.",000 of which is to build a bridge not at all necessary to the public good. The commissioners of Morgan rounty, all republicans, have placed this unneeessary burden upon the shoulders of tax-payers, and the republican party should be held responsible for it. Morgan County Gazette. O. 1. Kby of the New York Installment company was considerably exercised over the sudden dlsapiearance of his watch. Ho had been to the barN-r shop and felt sure It had been stolen while there. He complained to the police, and thy kept their eyes open for stray watches. Returning homo he took off his coat and threw It on a chair. Something in the skirt of the coat struck the leg of the chair, and upon investigation he found his watch. It had slipped through a hole in the upper coat ocket and wa.s all the time in the lining. Marion Chronicle. An oil well came in on. the John Ijoonard farm in Jackson township. Wells county. Thursday thatjs the best yet found In the territory. It is reported to have a capacity of 10 barrels per day. The Standard has the Das.-. Great excitement prevails, and hundreds of ieople are flocking to see the well. A local company has organized at Warren to develop the territory south and west of town. A number of scalpers have been at Warren and Van Ruren for the past ten days taking all the leases they ran get, and paying good rentals for them. Marion Chronicle. With this number the Rochester Sentinel enters its thirty-seventh year stronger in every department than ever iK'fore. It has no promises for its thousands of patrons further than to continue to be the newsiest, the most largely circulated and the most trustworthy newspaper in the country. It has recently added, new material to Its mechanical department and another writer to its editorial forte, and these, with the spicy corresjvondence from all the principal now. centers of the county, will let no news item escape the Sentinel's columns. Rochester Sentinel. The trial of William Worden of Russiaville, who was charged with attempting to rob the residence of Mrs.Trueblood last October, vas completed at Kokonio Friday, and resulted in the defendant being found "not guilty." At the time of the arrest of Worden the case attracted considerable attention here, where he is well known, and where he has always borne a good reputation. Many at that time expressed the opinion that he was not guilty, and the verdict of the Jury' sustains them in their opinion. Judge Suit was one of the attorneys in the case. Frankfort Crescent. Several gentlemen spoke Monday In our hep ring of the vast difference between the weather of that day and the quality that was on tap on New Year's day just thirty years before known and referred to usually as "that eold New Year." Sam Rrown said that he had all his ears frozen that day he didn't mention the number: Frank Dong couldn't make the boast, but said his brother's ears were frozen stiff and 'twas all in the family, and numerous others told how themselves or some of their relations had "lit, bled and died" on that memorable occasion. Pulaski Democrat. A small boy on the south side has a do with a great aversion to bridges. He swims the Wabash river every timo he conies over in town with his young master, and cannot be persuaded by any means to cross via the bridge. A crowd of spectators were greatly amused yesterday by the lad trying to drag h's dog across with a rope, but the effort was unsuccessful. The dog finally broke away and swam the stream with the roje nailing behind. He has been known to swim the Wabash river as high as a dozen times a day, and frequently when the river was full of ice. Logansport Reporte r. The high taxers, having left the treasury' practically empty and vast appropriations provided as a means to force "protection" taxes, will find congress equal to the emeigency and laws will be passed by the present session to raise taxes by means which will make the very rich pay their just burthens with the middle classes and the very poor. Democracy is terribly in earnest. The member of congress who votes against the Wilson bill or who admits of any changes in it had as well prepare to go into private life. Away with high taxes in the guize of "protection." Crawfordsville Star. Dick Thomas presented several of his friends with watermelons this week, which were relished at their dinners as a great delicacy this time of the year. They had an excellent flavor, and were as luscious as It Is possible for any fruit to be that has not been freshly picked. Several people have been wondering howMr. Thomas preserved these melons. J. H. Fishell said it was just as easy to keep watermelons for several months as it was pum)klns. They have to be taken from the vines before they are thoroughly ripe, stored away in a. cellar, and great care must be taken not to bruise them. Marlon Chronicle. A commercial traveler who lias leen doing Petersburg was here Tuesday. While there he acquired some statistical Information. "Petersburg," he says, has about ",000 Inhabitants. Among them are seventy-eight widows, eighteen old maids and sixteen widowers. I called at a dozen business houses and found the proprietors 'had just stepped out. would be in in a minute.' I waited; they didn't come. On my way to the depot to take the train, having half an hour to wait, I sauntered into a shooting gallery and there were the business men, all of them, excited as boys, shooting at targets." Washington Democrat. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Anderson national exchange bank was held Tuesday. The annual statement of officers showed the affairs of the bank to be in excellent condition and in no wise affected by the stringency, so lar as being a solid institution is concerned. The following directors were elected: James W. Sansberry, Thomas J. McMahan, John L, Forkner. J. W. Sansberry. jr., R. W. Scott, C. W. Prather and J. F. Wild. The directors then organized by electing the following officers: J. W. Sansberry, sr., president; Thomas K. McMahan, vice-president; John D. Forkner, cashier. Mrs. prouty of Fitthburg. Mass., the mother of Mrs. Kdward Conner of this place, who came here on a visit to her daughter about two months ago. died Friday evening at about 6:30 o'clock. She was about seventy years of age but was in a fair state of health up till quite recently. Friday morning she was up and about. Some time ago she sustained a partial stroke of paralysis, and it may have been a repetition that caused her death. Mr. and Mrs. George Prouty arrived last evening and will accompany the remains back to the home of the deceased at Fltchburg, Mrs. Corner also bein of the funeral party. Warsaw Union. Cats form strange attachments sometimes. Robert Wiley of Jonesboro has a big black cat that associates entirely with chickens, and roosts with them at night. The old cat frequently has some neighborhood matters to settle and don't always retire with th chickens. When lie 6tays out late they always leave a place for him on the roosting pole in the coop, and when lie comes in he jumps up on the pole and sleeps on it like a chicken. His long black tail hangs straight down. Sometimes he will lay his head over on one of the chickens but usually the chickens crowd up against him on both sides and the happy family bleeps without a word of disagreement. Marion Chronicle.

If th" story now in possession of the police is true, then Clinton county has as cruel a man as ever lived. The name of the party Is known, but will bo withheld until the case has been thoroughly investigated by the otReers. The story as it came to them runs as follows: Last night a man living north of town left here sh. rtly after 10 o'clock for his home, arriving there about 11 o'clock. He was drunk and quarrelsome. His wife had retired, but he forced her to get up, compelled her to mount atabl, and leaving a ferocious bull dog to watch her, Kft her in that position all night The police will investigate the case, and if true, he will be called to account for his cruelty. Frankfort Crescent. There was an infernal scoundrel nt large over in Portertown no night last week upon whose back the juice of a bundle of hickory switches might be well expended. Clothing himself in a sheet or something of the sort, with face entirely hidden, he followed Miss Ajrelo Rowe as she returned home from Mrs. Wolferman's, frighteninng the girl nearly to death. She ruahed irdo the hous only to find that' her mother was absent, and fc-r an hour she had to remain alotii before Mrs. Rowe returned, afraid to venture out and almost equally afraid to remain. Some men over there that we know of will limber up their muscles on the miscreant If they are fortunate enough to catch him at his devilment. Pulaski Demixrat. The story in th Hägers town Exponent with regard to Ch.udey Evans having been murdered is it very queer affair In that no one knows a thing about it who ought to know all about it if there Is any truth in it. The Exponent says there was an autopsy held at Greensfork and it was found be bad been shot In the head. The coroner. Dr. Bulla, never heard of It. and had there Wen an inquest he would have held it. The relatives at Greensfolk, who were seen today, say tlu-re was none held, and they ought to have known it if there was, a-s he was at their house. The death certificate of the physician at Danville, where he died, says he died from congestion of the brain. "Tv;is a fairy story. Richmond Palladium. Tuesday the- machine In front of Green's drug store, that deals out chocolate and chewing gum, failed to respond when a penny was dropped into the slot. A Iost-mortem investigation was inaugurated by Elmer Cx and the result of the inquiry would furnish enough material to stock a curiosity meseum. Ruttons, little and big. all colors and from every article of wearing apparel known; keys and rings; bits of wood and gravel; small nails and wire; but the most proline find was bits of lead that had been mashed from bullets or buckshot. The articles most wanted were least found, namely, pennies. A fellow wh would beat a "enny-in-the-s!ot" machine is certainly a mean man. Elwood Press. In these days of hard times, thieves, as well as other people, are devising new dodges to gather up the substances of life. A day or so ago a man appeared In a buggy, up in the vicinity of Taylorsville, " tailing on Mr. pence and then on his son and others up there and stated to them that the liverymen of this city had furnished rigs and sent out twenty men to solicit food for the poor of thi3 city. Several fanners contributed freely, one giving a ham of meat, another a sack of Hour, and another a bushel of corn and potatoes, until the fellow had his buggy loaded down. Who ths fraud was no one knows, but that he is a pretty slick thief no one doubts, as he was never sent from here to solicit aid, nor is any such scheme effective here. Columbus Times. For four or five weks the K. of P. bulges of this the fourth Pythian district of Indiana, comprising the counties of Benton, Cass, Carroll. Clinton, Howard, Tipton, Warren. White and Tipppecanoe, seventy-two lodges In 11, have been voting for the location to hold a district meeting.

The Kokonio lads won only by a hair's breadth, and the meetlnc: will 1? held in that city on Jan. CO. The grand lodge ofiicers will be present, and all of the ofiicers of the subordinate lodges will attend and take part in the proceeding. Our local knights are even now making arrangements to attend the meeting ami no doubt a good-sized delegation will attend from here. Frankfort Crescent. Announcement was made a few weeks ago of the mysterious disappearance of Morris Maxwell of Cleveland, O., t hief of construction of the Rig Four. He came here en route to the South for his health and stopped a day or two with Mr. I. H. C. Royse. From that time the family bad no word from him. Mr. Maxwell arrived here last night en route to his home. He stopped over with Mr. Royse today and explained the apparent mystery of his actions by a statement that he had written to his family, giving his 'southern address, and the letter never reached them. Not receiving any answer he wrote again after a few weeks' delay. When this letter reached his home his wife had spent several weeks in locating him and had failed. He has been at a southern health resort and is much improved in. health now. Terre Haute Gazette. As the tlm for the execution of James E. Stone, the sextuple murderer, approaches, says the Louisville CourierJournal, morbid curiouslty is awakening ami personal applications are being made daily to Warden Patten of the state prison south, Jcffersonvllle, by persons anxious to look upon the man. All are denied, as the law forbids any one to pee condemned men after they are placed In the penitentiary to await hanging. Yesterday four ministers, two from Indianapolis, one from this city and one from New Albany, called upon Warden Tattcn and stated that they desired to pray with Stone. They were denied admission and left without leaving their cards. Stone Is not worrying over the fact that h is soon to die. No complaints are heard from him except as tr the food Ftipplied. He eats ravenously. The most of bis time spent In reading. Immediately after bis sentence lie prayed a great deal, but now he seldom prays. His cell adjoins the scaffold. The eil door is covered with a sc reen to prevent anyone smujrgllnsr anything to him. Oa tto rsjijN above hin; 1 Cy Brown,

Warden Patten says Stone does not. and will not awakn to a full realization until a short time before he is ready to be hung. The big lire at Toledo, O., last week destroyed the chamber of commerce building, in which building O. E. Faliis fc Co. had their architect office. Willlam A. Stevens, well known to our citizens, is in the employ of this firm and had left the office only twenty minutes before the fire alarm was given. Will returned and with his usual coolness headed a brigade that made an ineffectual attempt to save the big building. He was the last person to Dave the roof, where he had leen directing a threeinch nozzle all alone for thirty minutes. and when he left the roof he stopiod in the office long enough to gather up some very valuable papers belonging to the firm, never for a moment thinking of his own Instruments and other property worth two or three hundred dollars, none of which were insured, and is a loss to him heavy to bear. After the lire was over Mr. Faliis told "Rilly" that he was the only one alxuit the building who had seemed to retain possession of his senses. "Rilly" Stevens always was a clever f-1-low and his heroism in this case is no more than we expected of him. Huntington Democrat. About the most contemptible and unAnierican organization yet formed is the A. I. A. It cannot be too severely condemned by every true American citizen. Any organization that proscribes a class of citizens on account of their religious belief is inimical and dangerous to the liberties of the people of our country. It should be throttled at its Inception. The constitution gives each citizen the right to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and any attempt to abridge this right ought to and will receive the jul condemnation of all liberty-loving and fair-minded people. I understand that an organization of this kind has been effected in this city. I don't know who compo.se the membership, but I am quite sure of one tiling, that whoever they are. you can write them down as a set of narrow-minded bigots, whose intolerant ide;u of religion are enough to make the devil weep. I am told that one of the leaders of this organization is a man who a few years ago left this city under a cloud. Such a man is a fit leader for such an organiztion. Correspondence in Washington Democrat. The Lagrange Democrat notes that "an advertiser in the Michigan City Dispatch is still running a double quarter display advertisement announcing Thanksgiving day specialties, turkeys, groceries, etc., with a big cut appropriate to that day. He probably wonders why advertising does not bring larger returns and his spectacles are no more misty than those of many other merchants who do not realize that a good medium having been selected, the profitableness of the investment varies according to the amount of attention the advertis-r is willing to devote to preparing fresh 'copy' often, and of always keeping before the public something attractive and of interest. The tlmo of the merchant who can for a I year or a time indefinite keep standing I in his space the simple announcement that he 'has a full stock constantly on j hand at the old stand has long since ! passed away. Only professional men can afford to adopt b. fixed phraseology-, and the merchant in whatever line of business must keep constantly changing the nature of his advertisement in order to get the greatest possible benefits." About 9 o'clock on Thursday morning of last week Bertie Tracy, an excellent and highly esteemed young man living a few mik-s east of Macy, aged about sixteen years, met with an accident that resulted in his death in a few hours. He was in the woods hunting, had got out of his buggy and was standing on a log with his gnu in his hand, when he slipped irt some way from the log and the weapon was discharged, the contents of both barrels entering his abdomen. Some men who were working in the wojds nar by came to Ids relief and conveyed him to his home, when death relieved Kim of his suffering about 4 o'clock in the evening. His parents are overwhelmed with grief over his untimely and tragic death. The young man showed wonderful courage and pluck in his terribly wounded condition. After being shot and while his bowels were protruding from the wound made by the fatal discluirge of his gun, lie arose and walked some distance .d finally reached his buggy unaid . lie must have realized from the first that death was near at hand, as no man could long survive such a wound as that. Rochester Sentinel. A, dispatch from North Judson savs there i great excitement there over the lehef that Mrs. John Emmons was burled in the cemetery there, Saturday, before she wan dead, althouph the re mains bad been kept five days. The hisfoiy of hftr ancestors reveals the fact that they have been subject to trances. Her grandmother was in a trance eight days, revived and lived twenty years. Her mother and sister underwent similar strange experiences. The husband pro tested fi.galnst the interment to the last but gave in to the dictates of the woman'3 physicians and a few friends. Although, the body was kept in a warm rxm tlre was no sign of mortification. The colfin glass displayed dampness on the inside and when there was a de pression made in the corpse it instantly assumed its normal shape. When her flesh was pierced with sharp instru ments, no blood came. The hands be fore a lamp showed no pink behind the fingers. With all these tests failing to reveal life, the interment was made, The feeling is general since learning the history of the family that the woman was not dead and the remains will be exhumed. Mrs. Emmons leaves six chil dren, the eldest ten years. In his speech opening the tariff debate Chairman Wilson showed that on the 4th of March, 1X3, when President Cleve land S firit term ended, there was "an available cash balance, amounting, in the form of the treasury statement used in the pan two years, of ?l8"i,000,000. The phrase "form of treasury statement used in the past two years ' is significant, During President Harrison's administra tion the form of the treasury statement was changed twice. Secretary Windom changed it so as to conceal the surplus" and later it was changed by Secretary Foster "to conoeal the bankruptcy of the treasury. secretary r oster was a past master in this art of juggling with financial statements as th collapse of his own varied private Interests shortly after he retired from public office showed. As secretary of the treasury' and as a private business man he kept his books on the optimistic moonslüno basis, counting as assets things that were not assets. In his treasury statements this juggling was plain and palpable. Had he made up bis statement as it had been made by Secretary MAnning a startling vacuum would have leen disclosed where there had been on the 4th or March. 1W, an overflowing treasury. TernvIIauto Ga zette. There Is a growth of interest in the subject of road Improvement that Is riea In promise of great achievement In the near future. During last week a la-ge number of Indianlans has been in convention at the state capital considering questions appertaining to public highways, and Uie prnaxcdiiifa xvero cX a

character to attract general attention and to merit cordial approbation. The more the sublet is probed and discussed the more apparent it becomes .that the peeplo of the United States, without regard to section, have been woefully derelict in the matter of providing highways to correspond in importance with other public enterprises. Rad roads are not confined to the prairies of the West. In New England and in the East, where facilities for macadamizing and for turnpikes are convenient and cheap, th? highways are almost as sadly neglected as thev are in many districts of Indiici. An aggressive national organization fn promoting better road building came into existence a few years ago. and that movement has given impetus to the f"rmation of various state auxiliary asseiations intended to operate on a general line of policy in pursuit of practical results. There is no excuse for bad roads, and it is one of the strangest things Imaginable that they should be tolerated in civilized and intelligent communities. Iafayett- Courier. Mrs. John Flrih" of Elkhart was thought to be in consumption s advanced stages, and to r dieve her condition, one of tha several physicians she had employed recommended bathing her breasts with turpentine. IJeceiitly she experienced violent tits of coughing and choking. The Elkhart Truth says that on Tuesday morning she felt a tickling s.-m-sation just be low the palat and this induced much couehing. .Mout - o'clock an unusually harl spasm was necessary to relieve the obstruction in her throat, and when she expectorated in the cuspidor, she was horrified to see a strange looking animated object wiggling about

in thi receptacle. It was quite lively and made great stir in th spittoon. It was taken out and sent lo the doctor's otlic-e where it has been preserved in alcohol; signs of life being- yet apparent until it was dropped into the bottle. It is about an inch long and has six lees and a beak very similar in sjze and shape to a. common pin. Its col u- is almost j 't bl.o-k. The doctor says he has never met anything Hue it in actual experience or his icferciice books, but thinks it must have been taken into Mrs. FIrich's stomach with a drink of water. Since ridding herself of the peculiar animal she has noticed a chang" for the better in h--r condition, and now suffers only from rawness of the throat, whi h she thinks was caused by th - beak of the worm while struggling in her throat. An Elkhart correspondent gives an ac count of the life of Harry Harrington of that place which reads like fiction. He was the son of the late pr. Harrington, having all the advantages of wealth. culture and refinement. His mother was an accomplished lady and a fine musi cian, and when but sixteen years o,d young Harrington was considered one ,if the most gifted pianists in the state. Early in life, however, he began a vi cious career. The suicide of a bright voung girl, daughter of a prominent min ister, is attributed to his influence. His parents sent him to Chicago as a nvdical student, and he was found in a l nv dive playing a piano. He married a depraved woman, from whom b soon separated. His viciousnesa drove his mother insane, and she is now a patient In one of the Indiana Institutions. His grandmother lequeathed him f"."00. which was speedily thrown to the wind. His father died of a broken heart, leaving his estate so that only the income should be given to his son at stated times and in specified sums. Soon after his father's death, while intoxicated, he fell under a train, losing both leg. Before the stumps had healed he was again draining the dregs of depraved dissipation ar.d while in Chicago he would frequently pawn his artificial limbs and then beg for contributions. Recently he returned from Chicago hungry, ragged and filthy. He was taken in charge by the township trustee, who removed him to the county asylum, there to remain until another installment from his estate gives him the means to renew his degraded career. M'CURDY'S AWFUL CRIME. HE 'YII.I, IIAYR TO ANSWEIt I'OU IT IX fOM).l). He I Aire led nt "Mnrllnstille and AN ill lie Taken to Colorado for Trial The Slory of the C rime Told hy the Sheriff. Governor Matthews Saturday honored a requisition from Governor Waite of Colorado for the return to that state of Alexander McCurdy, who is now under arrest at Martinsville charged with a most diabolical crime. Sheriff S. S. Too of Jefferson county, Colorado, came here with the requisition and after receiving the necessary papers from the secretary of state left for Martinsville to secure his prisoner. To a Sentinel reporter he told the stoiy of the crime which is one of the most shockingly inhuman in th-j annals of crime. Alexander McCurdy, his wife, Iiis father, step-mother and step-brother lived at Golden, Jefferson county. Colorado. All occupied one bouse and seemed to get along peaceably together. McCurdy was a stonemason. His stepbrother was a "cow puncher," as those of that class who attend stock ca ranches for wages are called in that country. During last summer the stepbrother, Arthur Berry, who by the way is a 3'oung lad about nineteen years of age, was employed on a tange some distance from Golden and was away from home all summer up until the latter part of August. About two weeks after bis return his step-brother's wife came to Martinsville, Ind., where hor relatives live, and matters went on about as usual at the home in Golden until about the middle of November when the crime for which McCurdy has been arrested was committed. While Berry was asleep in his house McCurdy, with a sharpened case knife, dismembered him in a way that will completely wreck him for life. McCurdy lied, stopping at Denver for awhile. This was the last heard of him until his arrest at Martinsville. The wounded boy tells an awful and appalling story. I'pon bis return from the range in August, he says. McCurdy's wife came to hint one day and told him that ieople were talking about them and that she was willing to give them something to talk about. He says that she finally jrsuaded him. though against his sober judgment, to consent to her proposals, but instead of carrying out her apparent object she drew a knife from the folds of her dress and gave him two vicious slashes, from which he came near bleeding to death. This he kept from all except a physician who dressed the cuts. The wife went to Indiana in a short time, and he thought no more of the matter until the assault by McCurdy. At the time the crime was committed McCurdy would have been lynched if caught. There is still a strong sentiment in that line in Golden, but it is now probable that the law will be allowed to take its course. The White Cap Xcrdlct. COLUMBUS, Jan. 14. Special.
