Swalwell was bending over the explosive trying to light it when :it went off unexpectedly and the force of the c-xploslou hit him in the face.

It is hoped that one of his eyes may be saved. CHURCH SETUCK BY LIGHTNING Steeple of German Lutheran People' liuildfntt Receives liolt at 2 O'clock tlilw Morniug. (Special to I.nke Count v Times.

"Mas" Cilmore Says She Is No Witch, in Spite of John Paris' Belief. HER NEIGHBORS MISTRUST HER She Does "Parlous" Things, They Say Tree Bears Three Kind of Fruit Item VIncennes, Ind., July 5. The case of "Mag" Gilmore, the alleged w.teii, who is in the Knox county jail as the result of the charges of John Paris, is attracting much attention. It Is learned that the woman had led many persons to believe that she had supernatural powers, and that probably a dozen persons who had cross el lur path believed she would be the means of summoning them to their death. The woman, who says she Is ouly 41 ycar3 old, but who seems to be 75, lives In a suburb known as 'Oklahoma." Does Some Ghostly Doings. She came here last September, and later was joined by a little g-'rl she calls Bertha Lee Anderson, and wto;n she says she adopted. "Mag" soxm became known a a "witch." In the neighborhood strange storiea are told concern lag her, one being that she has not had any sleep for fourteen years. Another is that she spent her nights hammering on the floor of her home. It ig also said she would cotne to the doors, call for a broom, and in a ghostly voice would call out, "He will die. everything will te done as I say." If the broom were brought by the child who lived with her, saa would wave it through the air. Denies the Witchery Charges. Mag Gilmore, the alleged witch, is a typical one as far as appearances are concerned, but further than this she seems to be a very ordinary person, with Bomething of an education. She denies that 6he has any supernatural powers and that she had anything to do with the death of the Paris child. She says the charges mada against her are a plot to get her to leave the neighborhood and that there is nothing la them. Appears to Have a Sound Mind. She appears to be of sound mind and to have come from a higher class of people than those in the neighborhood in which she is living. She says she has been married three times and that she has a number of relatives lir. ing in Monroe and Owen counties, in this state. An effort to have her photographed resulted in a refusal on the grounds that she would not have her relatives know of the predicament 6ha is in.

Last year he grafted a large cherry limb to the apple tree, with the result as stated. The cherries and apples are both ripening, but the peaches are of a late variety. These peaches show advancement over the same variety on another tree. This freak In horticulture is attracting no little attention from fruit growors and horticulturists generally. Laugh Was on the Crowd. Rockport, Ind., July 5.
