School Supplies in River.

Brazil, Ind., March I.—While fishing at a remote spot on Eel river, Louis Richtsell, a farmer living southeast of Harmony, found a quantity of new school supplies, consistnig of eighteen new "coal bucketa, chart racks, a number of coal shovels, wash basins and coal tongs, in the water.

Richtsell says some of the supplies were floating, and that he waded in and recovered many of the articles. The articles bore shipping tags from Hullman & Co., of Terre Haute, and the Van Camp Hardware Co., of Indianapolis, and were identified as supplies which were sold to James A. Muncie, recently trustee of Jackson township. An investigation of Muncie’s affairs w-as begun by the board of accounts. His affairs will also be investigated by the grand jury, which probably will be called this week, it is said.
