TO FIX GUILT OF MILITIAMEN. Al.it-4ion. Ko!liiis "Wants to Know What Members of the Indian National I;i:iril lii-a' 1 It ly Looting a IN tan: ant nt lVlll. Indianapolis, Ind.. Oct. 4. -Adjt.-(!en. Pobbins, of the Indiana national guard, has issued an order convening a court of inquiry to investigate the looting of a restaurant bv members of the guard at Peru on the night of July 27. The court will meet at Peru Monday. Adjt.-den. Pobbins refused to pay any of the men m the lid regiment for their service in camp until the silverwear taken from the restaurant was returned to the owner. The captain of the South Uend company found in the possession of one of the men in his company a silver water cooler valued at 67, which he sent to the adjutant-genera', several weeks ago. Adjt.-(Ien. Pobbins intimates that he will deal harshly with the men who disgraced the regiment if he can fix the guilt. GOV. MATTHEW AITLALLD TO. Snrm IIknd., Oct. 1. -A well-known South Mender went to the Kendalville fair yesterday to confer with iov. Matthews concerning the witholding of pay for encampment services from the Third Regiment band of this city, Co F, the Laporte company, and one other, for the theft of silverware at the Peru eating house on leturring from the summer encampment, (iov. Matthews was greatly surprised to 1 cam that the money was withheld from the band. He promised an early invest igat ion. Chicago Itecord. As will be seen by the above, the military company of this city is interested in the matter to the extent that they have not as yet received any pay for services in camp on account of the depredations committed at Peru, of which the boys declare their innocence and further state that they have been made to suffer for the misdeeds of another company. It seems that this man Titus was at one time in business at South liend, and it is said when he left ihere many people were left in the lurch, among whom were the fathers of some of the boys in the company from that city and that on seeing him in Peru in business and apparently prospering, they became enraged and decided to get even by taking whatever they could get their hands on, which fact is further established by a piece of silverware having been found in the possession of a member of that company. 15ul it is a rule of the regu lar army, and of course would apply to the state malitia, that wherein a depredation may be committed by any member of a company, that the pay may be withheld from the whoie company, regiment or battalion until a reasonable time is given to investigate the matter thoroughly and establish the guilt of the individual who is directly responsible. Acting on the above rule and taking that stand in the matter, Capt. A. K. Wise has written the adjutant general making a formal demand for the pay of himself and command, and notifying him that if the money is not forthcoming that other means will be taken to collect it, claiming that a reasonable length of time lias elapsed in which to make the above said investigation. In reply he has received the following: Indianai olis, Oct. 1, 1895. SP KCl A L OKDKU. NO. 5S. I. A Court of Inquiry is hereby ordered to convene at Peru, Ind., on Monday evening, Oct. 7, to enquire into the facts and circumstances connected with the stealing of several articles of personal property from the lunch house of C. 1. Titus, on the evening of July 27,

1895, during the time that Wie train conveying several companies of Indian i National (luard home from the Camp of Instruction, was halted in front of that place. Said board will proceed from Peru to Rochester, Plymouth, LaPorte and South Pend, and after investigating all the circumstances and examining all the w itnesses that they may deem necessary, and making a thorough investigation of the facts, will report in full the facts and their conclusions as to the parties responsible for this violation of law, to this office with the least possible delay.

P., at tins place was to be removed. Upon investigation we learn that the railroad management had decided to remove him from this oilice, not for inefficiency, but for a more prominent position -that of City Ticket Agent at Tcrre Haute. Mr. Frank Hale came to this city three years ago, and at once entered into the very best of social relations, lie being a member of the Methodist Church, the different societies of that church derived much from his earnest and conscientious work, lie is at the present time treasurer of the Fpworth League, and one of the active workers in the V. M. C. A. Hand. He is also secretary of the local association of the Fraternal Pui'ding and Loan Association, of Indianapolis. Peing a Moson he has given enthusiastic help for that order in our citv, and will be greatly missed. While we are sorry to see Mr. Hale leave us and sever these pleasant associations, yet we congratulate him on the position he has received, and hope that his future life will be cast among as pleasant associations as he has found in Plvmouth.

Last Saturday afternoon the little thiee-yt ar-oid child of John Leffeit, of Argos, was scalded by falling into a kettle of boiling water. About VI o'clock the girl took a kettle of water from the stove to scrub with, setting it down on the lloor. The little one who was playing in the room backed against the vessel, falling into it. Medical assistance was quickly secured, but the little sufferer died that night. The funeral .services were held from the Catholic church to-day at 12 o'clock. INTERESTING TO SPORTSMEN.

From Thursday's Daily. Another howling event took dace last night on Midway, in which one on or prominent young business men took a leading part and figured as a principal character. He succeeded in keeping that thoroughfare in a whirl of excitement for some time, while the night watch proceeded to make him self scarce, which reports say is usual on such occasions. It is no doubt a fact that ninth tenths of the whole excitement and disturbances in that locality, are the fault of the police in n ?t taking care of people when they appear upon the streets in an intoxicated condition, or commit acts which would require their being taken into custody for their own and the community's benefit.

I Merchants and others of this city are being called upon to-day to contribute money, provisions and merchandise that will be available for the support of Mrs. J. K. Hoover and family of West township. Chaiity calls are of frequent occurrence but there is suvh a story of the perfidy of a man who was once held in esteem by those who knew him. antecedent to this call, that more than ordinary sympathy is aroused for the family of wife and six children who are left almost destitute by the neglect and desertion of the husband and lather. The substance of the story, as gathered by an Imi:pi:nii:xt representative, is as follows: J. K. Hoover, formerly owned a grocery store at Donaldson and was the possessor of enough of the world's goods to give him a comfortable position in life. He was a member of the Dunkard' Church and was regarded with enough confidence by his neighbors that he was made township trus tee of West township. Through drink and other causes his habits became such that his income was not sulllcient to balance accounts with his expenditures and his properly and a considerable amount of the township funds were dissipated. He fell from grace in the church and was "churched."' He neglected his family and gave them insufficient support and finally practically deserted them and went to live with his mother. At this lime he taught school for his own support. The climax linally came when exposure of his infidelity to the township threatened and he departed for Dakota. The result is that his wife who is said to be a very estimable lady, is left for support to her own slender resources and kindness of friends and neighbors. As soon as the legal process could be be completed in Dakota Hoover secured a bill of divorce and irrevocably stamped his character and history as one of dishonesty and infidelity. It is said that he is now employed in a bank in a position secuured through the inlluence of a relative. The solicitors for Mrs. Hoover, through liberal receipts of money ami other substantial donations have found the people of Plymouth disposed as ever to lend a liberal, helping hand to the needy and distressed. Mrs. Hoover is a daughter of David Wilburn. Co hi in i-.ioiif rs Court.

A stone sidewalk was ordeied on the east and south sides of the lot occupied by the county jail and contract let to Henrv Ilauck for the same at 6'271.32. To ll;in;'. Pacer Smith who a short two weeks ago killed his little six year old daughter and sister-in-law at Decatur.Ill., has received his death sentence. The brute gave clear evidence of his nerve when he asked the court to pass the sentence of death, but desired that that date of execution be made Feb. l'Uh the birthday of the little girl he so cruely robbed of life. It is said that the mother of the little nmr.dered girl and the wife of the murderer, created quite a scene in court when setence was pronounced by thanking Cod that Smith would receive his just deserts. Stricken With ParulysN. Henry Smith, of llourbon, janitor of the public school, was stricken with paralysis of the heart Tuesday at the school building and it was feared for some time that he would die. He was in a critical condition and was picked up and driven home in a buggy, where he received prompt and effectual medical attention, and after some hours of haul work was brought to himself again. He has now almost recovered from the shock and will probably be about his work at the school house tomorrow morning. Centennial Celebration. Tickets will be sold via the P. V.
