BEESEY HEARD FROM AGAIN.

Supposed To Be Same Fellow Who Hiked With Jim Dunlap's Team. The Pulaski County Democrat has a breezy notice of a young fellow from Monon who is no doubt the same chap who a few weeks ago started to run off with a team of the Mt. Ayr liveryman, James Dunlap, but met with an accident east of Rensselaer, where he broke the pole out of the buggy and he abandoned the rig and hoofed it to Monon, Mr. Dunlap recovering the rig near Pleasant Ridge next day. This is also supposed to be one of the Beeseys who used to live in’ Rensselaer, and if he don’t mend his ways he will no doubt come to a sudden stop some of these days that he will remember for some time. The Democrat says of him: "A fellow named Beese, hailing from Monon, worked a little threecornered skin game here the first of the week, that was good as long as it lasted. He blew in Saturday —and it is said the Buffalo liveryman who drove him here got nothing for his drive. The fellow got supper, bed and breakfast at the Penry hotel—and Penry is still waiting for his pay. The Sanders restaurant fed him Sunday noon—but he has not yet come back to get the week’s meal ticket that he arranged for at the time. Supper at the YoCkey hotel is still charged against him. In the afternoon he ordered a rig of John Hoch to drive him to Royal Center, but he refused to show the color of his mon ey in advance and John unhitched the team. The eating house people who had been roped in put Marshal Johnson next, and the fellow got lodging Sunday night in the calaboose —and that didn’t cost him a sou. In fact, a search at the bastile showed him-to be souless. He was given a good start Monday on a walk out of town. It is stated that he hiked for Star City, where he induced John Potts to let him have a horse to drive to Royal Center. At that place he put up the horse and got a liveryman to drive him to Logansport, where he gave the driver the slip. “That young fellow stands a good chance to land in the pen one ot these days, where his unlimited gall will not stand him so well tn hand.”
