Trouble in Milroy Township.

For some time, as alleged, A 1 May, a rich farmer residing north of Wolcott, has been missing corn from his crib. Last Friday morning he alleges to have tracked a wagon from his crib to the home of Joseph Dluzak, an aged German farmer of Milroy tp. May was accompanied by his son, and without any warrant or other process of law the two attempted to arrest Dluzak. The latter objected and the elder May hit him over the head with a hammer, and he was dumped into a wagon and hauled to Wolcott in a semi-un-conscious state, where he had his hearing before a justice of the peace and, it is said, proved his innocence and was promptly discharged. Young May, it is alleged, covered a son of Dluzak’s with a revolver during the fracas, another small boy who sought to protect his father was thrown several feet and badly bruised, while the wife, whom it is said will soon become a mother, is alleged to have been brutally kicked in the abdomen and is in a very serious condition. On the other hand, the Mays claim that Dluzak resisted arrest and came at them with a mowing machine sickle, etc. The case seems to be a bad one and the courts will decide upon the merits of the different allegations. It is reported at this writing that both Mr. and Mrs. Dluzak are in a serious condition, and that the Mays are under heavy bonds pending the result of their injuries.

For Obstructing the Highway.

Constable Yick arrested Emmet Wills at the firm of A. Wills & Co., erf Pittfield, 111., who have the contract for cutting a dredge in Gilliam tp., for tearing oat a bridge and refusing to replace same. The warrant was sworn out by Trustee Prevo. Defendant {dead not guilty of obstructing highway, waived examination and was bound over under S2OO bonds to the circuit court. He gave bond. Wills claims, we understand, that he notified the trustee to remove the bridge to let the dredge through, that this was the trustee’s work and not his, that the said trustee refused to remove said bridge or to replace same after Wills had removed it to pass the dredge through. The decision will fix the responsibility in such cases.

KNOCKED OUT AGAIN.

The Appellate Court Dismisses the Appeal la Auditor Murray’s Libel Salt Against ••The Democrat” Editor.

The first final adjudication of any of the numerous libel suits instituted by the scoundrel by gang who are frantically endeavoring to wipe out the The Democrat, was made last Friday, when the Appellate court dismissed the appeal in the Auditor Murray case. This case is familiar to most of our readers, and we will refer to it but briefly. The indictment was returned against us in January by a republican grand jury, but* the instrument was quashed as faulty. Then Mr. Murray filed an affidavit and information in the circuit court on the same charge. Motion was made by defendant’s attorneys to quash both the affidavit and information. Judge Thompson held that there was nothing libelous in the article referred to and sustained the motion and threw the case out of court. By this time the gang was furious, and Baby George of the Apologist, it is said, privately condemned Judge Thompson in no unmeasured terms for not standing in with the gang in its prosecution of a dangerous foe —dangerous because intimidation nor bribery could be used on its editor—and publicly, through the Apologist, scored the judge for his action. Prosecution Chizum was then prevailed upon, and an appeal taken to the Appellate court from Judge Thompson’s decision. As there were several saloons in this circuit and a few quart shops which must be “looked after” quite often, the appeal was not filed until several weeks after the case was thrown out of court here. The action of the Apellate court in dismissing the case is, of course, a source of great sadness to the gang, but there is considerable more of the same sort in store for it, and if its members are wise they will heed the handwriting on the wall.

WHITE-FINK.

Married, at the home of bride’s Parents, miles east of Kniman. on Sunday, June 25, at 9:00 a. m., by the Rev’d O’May of the M. E. church, Mr. Martin White and Miss Ida Fink. Promptly at 9:00 o’clock, the bride and groom entered the front Srlor, headed by the minister and r. Fink, the father of the bride, taking their places directly in the center of the room. Mr. Elza Grow acting as best man took his place at the right hand of the groom, while Miss Maggie McGlinn took the position of honor to the left of the bride. Mr. White was dressed in a neat black suit, closely fitting Prince Albert cat, with a boquet of white roses, while the bride wore a neat plain satin snit. The parlor was elegantly and tastefully decorated. The music was furnished by the Kniman orchestra, with Miss Clara Gulbransonas organist. When the Elder said, “If any person now objects or forever keep your peace, I pronounce you husband and wife,” then witn a quick step, like that of an American soldier seeing an important point to be gained, and taking advantage of it, Wm. Shirer stepped forward, shook hands and kissed the bride first—All right, William, you will have to watch out in the near future—after which the entire company marched out to the dining room, where the tables were spread with all tempting to the taste of man. loe cre im and Gakes of all kinds with candy and fruits until I thought I should surly freeze and become a living refrigerator. After the entire party had partaken with a relish of all of the fine refreshments to their entire satisfaction the company all drove to the Kniman school house to attend quarterly

GREENBACKS

or Government Money. At close of our Civil War in 1865, there appeared in the London Times the following: “ If that mischievous financial Policy which had its origin m the North American Republic during the late Civil War in that country, should become indurated down to a fixture, then that government will furnish its money without cost It will have all the money that is necessary to carry on its trade and commerce. It will become prosperous beyond precedent in the history of civilised nations of the world. The brain and wealth of all countries will go to North America. THAT GOVERNMENT MUST BE DESTROYED OR IT WILL DESTROY EVERY MONARCHY ON THIS GLOBE.” The famous Hazzard circular, to capitalists in New York, and the Bad Bank circular to United States Bankers, both emanating from London, and the fabulous corruption fund raised in England and Germany, estimated at $1,500,000, were the agents that secured the closing of our mints ngiiaif silver. The “walk into my parlor” policy of England, during and since the Spanish War, is the latest evidence of English Diplomacy in shaping dm destiny of the United States Government. Notwithstanding the famine price of wheat, the Spanish War, and ftiralous expenditures of money by oar government during the past year, gold has increased in value eleven percent, and all other values decreased in foe same proportion. • '•' . For a thorough understanding of the money question, or silver issue, the Cincinnati Enquirer has uniformly given evidence of its ability to teach, explain and produce all facts and truth. It is a paper that ought and can be read by all classes with {denture and profit
