THOMAS ROBKRTS HAS COT HIS SAUShYOh rSNNESSBB BIG TIMBER. l.itlKatfou Likely Keraiite of MiMrpr- - i.i in.. n to mint; About tna Tiaaai tion KtTortn Will be. Made to Foree Khineliurt, the Harber. In Make tbe Other Partien ....ii. Thomas Roberts, who went to Huntsville, 'lenn., two weeks ag' has returned home. He went there to see a farm which he traded for without see ing. There were several hundred acres of it and it was represented to him as being covered with huge timber. Mr. Roberts had great expectations of his investment. It cost him about ."?ö00. He wes told that there was a town of ion inhabitants near his farm, hut there are only about thirty people there, he says. Furthermore, instead of being timbered land, all the timber has been taken off of it. He was also supposed to get property numbered 1028 on the record, hut when the deed came it was numbered 40,781, Mr. Thomas now comes back upon Frank Hawk, of whom he purchased the property, and demands (he return of his money because of misrepresenta tion. Hawk, who sold the property to Thomas, had never seen it either, hav ing purchased it upon representation of his son in law, who had traded a farm in UnkN township for it to Wesley Hhinehart, the barber, employed at liene Lewis' shop. Huberts and Hawk say that they will commence legal proceedings against Mr. Khinehart. The land represented by the dead is worthless. It is understood that Mr. Khinehart crave a warranty deed, hut Mr. Hawk simply gave a quit claim deed. Wesley Kliltieliart'tf Version. Wesley Khinehart informs the Independent that Thomas Roberts is somewhat mistaken in the matter of the Tennessee land. Mr. Khinehart aays that he traded two Marion, Ind., lots to A. H. I'ersonette for 37'., acres of tamarack marsh land in Union township; that during the negotiations he told Persouette that he owned 250 acres of

IVrsonette naid that if he had it, he would trade it for something or other arid Mr. Khinehart at once told him that tie would throw in the Tennessee land with the deal. Mr. Itbinehart holds a warranty deed for the Tennessee laud, but he gave I'ersonette a quit claim deed, lie also gave a quit claim deed to the Marion lots and received a quit claim deed for the I nion township farm. Mr. Khinehart says there were do misrepresentations in his deal with I'ersonette. He does not claim to know how I'ersonette and Hawk represented the property. Briajhtalda Note. Mrs. Work, of the Krightside Home, informs us that during the year beginning .Inly 1, 1900, and ending July 1, 1901, Krightside will have placed in families seventy-live children.

Mead, of Chicago, were here Wednesday with the view of supplying the city of Plymouth with vitrified brick tor street pavement. They represeut the Trimble Klock, of Trimble, ')., and the In diana Klock, of Brazil, Ind. They have samples of each product on display at the city clerk's otlice aud at the otlice of the civil engineer. In conversatioa with these gentle men, the Iudepetdent was given to un derstand that the cost of pavement would depend largely upon the kind of foundation used. A gravel founda'ion is much cheaper than a crushed stone foundation. It was their opinion that it would be most feasible here to use the gravel foundation. They also inform that they are satistied that many Plymouth people have an exaggerated idea of the cost of street pavement Mr. Moore was emphatic in the statement that there will not he i single property owner who would be willing to have the pavement removed after once established for three times the cost. ATI mU IS AN ATTOKNPV. llendrbkH, the Swindler, Inditeii a a Untie Leiter to Mr. ttreeee. 11. M. Hendricks, the alleged clerical swindler conliued in the l.aporte county jail awaiting trial, indited the following communication to State's Attorney Kreece Monday morning: "Mr. Kreece: I see in the paper that you are taking steps to have me sen tenced. 1 am anxious to see you per sonally and have a conversation with you before going any further. I am an aged man aud my health is In a critical condition. "Like yourself I am a lawyer by pro tession, and have tumbled inU trouble through drink. "1 am a member of the supreme court of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania and of the United State circuit cuurt

snions or nonor ana trust under both of Cleveland's administrations. This

is the tirst time I was ever charged with crime. V ours truly, "II M. Hendricks." It develops in connection with the above letter, which has its touch of the pa'hetic interwoven with its stern re alities, that Hendricks' claims to being an attorney ate well founded. Tele graphic aavices from Pennsylvania confirm his claim to having served in art oilicial capacity under the two Cleveland administrations. WALTKB BO NUPTIALS.

Fast Kxpress on the Wabash (iocs Into the Ditch Near Logansport at Midnight.

SIXTEEN PEOPLE KILLED; MORE THAN FIFTY INJURED.

Most Horrible Wreck in the History of ( ;i ( uunty Engine and Five Cars Hurled Down Thirty-Foot Embankment into Ditch Cars Almost Totally Demolished -A Horrible Scene Result of Washout.

Sne.'ial to 1 tie IlldOOnndOBl Logansport, Ind., June 2 The t. Louis fast express on the Wabash rail road, due in Loganeport at II o'clock last night, was wrecked at a point about seven miles east of Loganeport at midnight last night, the entire tr.un consisting of nine cars, with the exception of the three sleepers and the pri vate car of W. M. Carter, general superintenaent ot the Iron Mountain & Southern railroad, going down a thirtyfoot embankment Into the ditch. As a result of the wreck sixteen at least, and possibly more, are dead while the list of more or less seriously injured will reach tifty or more, some of whom will probably die of the injuries received. The train was an hour late in le;iv ing Peru and was running to make up time when the accident occurred, and the only wonder is that the list ot killed is not larger than it is. for fron? the terrible destruction which the scene of the accident showed it is elmoat incon ceivable that any neon in rhe u'limst , totally demolished cars lying on the side of the high embankment ever came out of the pile of debris, sphn- . .. . . , ed timbers and twisted irons alive. f'he engine left the track aud planned down the north side ot the embank - ment, turning completely over, while the express car and baggage car Imme ...... m . . .... diately following were telescoped. The next car, the smoker, went down the embankment end tirst, and was fol lowed by an emigrant car tilled with Italian emigrants, and the two cars lay! side by side on the south side of t he embankment, one end ot each in the ditch and the other standing up to the tracks. These two cars were nothing but a mass of broken iron and wood and in these ttie terrible destruction to life and limb occurred. The dead are: E. P. CLOUOH, express messenger FAN NIK MP HLuTK, of New York city. Two Italian men, imigrants Not identified. Five Italian women Two Italian babies. The injured are: Not identified, Not identified. ! D.

The report which has been circulated for several days to the effect that Dr. Horton has signed the remonstrance against paving North Michigan street is without foundation and the Independent is glad to chronicle this fact, Dr. Horton has not signed the rent on strauce and while in attendance at the council meeting Monday expressed himself as being greatly interested in paving. Dr. Aspinall is enthusiast':' for paving. Some one interested iu the remonstrance spread the report that Horton and Aspinall are against pav Ing. W e are glad they have seen lit to rec tify the false rumor so promptly. I'his leaves the remonstrators on North Michigan street with few pegs to stand upon. When ttie remonstrators ap proached Dr. Horton, they told him that the street was not to be precept ibly cut down and that the curb stone would be j above the level of his property. He replied that if their statement was true he would not oolv remonstrate, but would sue for damages. He re fused to sign the remonstrance, however, until he investigated, lie saw the city engineer and satisfied himself that the specifications did not bear out the statements made by those circulat

Due of the most pathetic and pitiable sights witnessed was that of a man, an Italian, who with his wife and little boy were on their way to nossiblv some we8tern homt. hat trM hnamA rn mak In the new country. The father was badly injured, but the little bov. a pretty little fellow of some four years, bad had his little life crushed out by the cruel timbers of the splintered uar. The father thought not once of his own hurts, he never felt the pain in body or limb, but the pain was all in the heart as he would tenderlv and 0 - tearfully lift the lifeless form of his be loved little one in his arms and pressing it to his breast wept and murmured in his native tongue, "My little boy; my poor little boy." Many a stout heart tattered and many a strong man turned away rue face to hide the tears that would come as he witnessed the grief of this stricken father. ing the remonstrance. On the contrary, the civil engineer assured him that the grdde was to be established in accordance with his views aud desires in the matter. The doctor wants the public to understand that he favors paving, always has and, what is more, expects to continue in that way of thiukiug. JIH He Tried AKaiu. The case ot Susan Johnson vs the I'ennsy Ivania company has been assigned to Judge Adair, of Whitley county. The plaintii) has hied au ad ditional paragraph of complaint and the case will tie tried in the October term of court.
