Fort Wayne, Ind., Dec. 13. —The local officers place no credence in the theory that the Logansport desperado was Marvin Kuhns. The latter, they claim, Js still at his brother's house near Albion. No effort has been or will be made to arrest him by the local officers, who are firmly convinced that for some reason the Ohio prison management is willing that he should go fret* and will take no steps to have him returned. Neither the local police nor sheriff have even been notified of Kuhns’ escape, or asked to keep a lookout for him; as is invariably done in such cases, and consequently they are making no attempt to apprehend the escaped convict.

I exj>ect to take no chnnces with Kuhns, who is a thoroughly bad man.” Trial of the Dehl* I» at Hand* Muncie, Ind., Dec. 13. —Judge Barnard, of Newcastle, was in Muncie yesterday and was informed by the state attorneys that they would be ready for the calling of the case of the state vs. the Dehl brothers, of Anderson, on the charge of murder.
