Charged With Shooting Watchman. Delphi.—A charge of assault and battery with intent to kill was placed here against Lawrence Lawson, seventeen years old, who is said to have been one of the party of Lafayette youths blamed for the shooting of August Scallon, night watchman, in a drunken raid here. Lawson remains in jail in default of sl,000 bond. Lewis Wendling and Jack Friend, held as witnesses, gave bond of S2OO each. The charge in the case probably will be changed to murder, as Scallon is believed certain to die. The local police are convinced ’that Lawson did not actually fire the shot, but that he knows who fired it. and that; this man must be either Vance Loten or the prisoner's brother, Charles F. Lawson, who are still at large.
