A BASE SWINDLES. Lemuel Moss dels a 93,000 Mortgage on a Pike County Farm. Ti e daily papers a few days ago had lengthy specials regarding Dr. Lemuel Moss, (who figured prominently to the misfortune of the Indiana University, a year or more ago) showing that he has lately added to his reputation the character of a swindler, in which Mrs. Margary K. Morgan, of Bloomington, is the victim to the amount of $5,000.. After the doctor was expelled he went into some patent cooking arrangement, in which he soon exhausted his funds, in this emergency his sou Charles, a graduate of the institution, called on his intended, who is a step-daughter of Mrs. Mt rgan, and indtievd her to use her influence in getting a mortgage ou the Morgan farm to raise the money on. lie succeeded, and took the mortgage to Chicago to negoitate, but wrote hack that it cohid not bo done. It now appears that the money was procured on the mortgage. Then came a letter from Moss stating that the money tided them over the difficulty, but that the $5,000 is gone, and that he absolutely refuses to try to reimburse it. Mrs. Morgan has kept the matter a secret for some time, trying in vain to get the money, hut now that it is past hope, she desires to expose him. The farm, upon which this mortgage was given, is in Clay township, and is one of the best farms in the county. Ed. Beasley operates it. The mortgage, referred to above, \v~s recorded in the office here on Oct. 10, 1885, and the indenture witnesseth that Margifty K. Morgan (widow) of Putnam county. mortgages to I,. Dow King, of Cook county, Hi., the following real estate in Pike county, Ind.: Location .No, 9, township 1, north of range 9 west, containing 300 acres, to secure the payment of a promissory note executed by Lemuel Moss, Chas. 11. Moss, and Margary K. Morgan, for the sunt of $5,000, payable five years after date, interest payable semi-annually, at seven per cent. The mortgage was assigned to Ritzinger & Co.,, on September 4th. 1885. This is one of the most base and perfidous transactions that has occurred for some time. Mrs. Morgan ialmost distracted over the loss', and her step-daughter has been down in this part of. the State endeavoring to get money to save the farm. SATIRE B. COAX KILLED. X* An Old Citizen Put to Pieces by an Air Liue Train. Sqnire B. Conn, aged about sixty years, who resided in the Arnold neighborhood, was killed by a freight train, on the Air Line Railroad. Fri day morning, near Rieevitle. He was walking on the track, and noticing a freight train approaching behind him he stepped off to let it pass. The train had broken in two and onlypart of it had passed him. Supposing that all ofit had moved by, he got on the track and resumed his journey. On came the rear end of the train, and before the doomed man could turn his head, the train struck him. He-was thrown under the wheels, hi> head severed from the hotly, and his limbs broken and terribly mangled. Squire Coan had recently applied for a pension, and was collecting- evidence on the trip, by which he lost his life. His name was discovered by papers in his pocket, and Pension Agent J. M. White and CoauV nephew, I. M. Johnson, were notified by telegraph. The -remains were brought here and buried in the Bluff gravt yard on Sunday. ,

|, A Republican on Snisauccs. ! Editors Democrat : I want t > eonj gratulate “Cilwen” through the colj tint ns of your paper 011 what she wrote last week for the News. Her husband, no doubt like Ourselves had to pay out some of his hard-earned cash to get his hogs out ot the stork pound in Petersburg,-' while hogs are seen dailv running at 1 large through the streets. As the' wise-acres, known as the town board, have passed the law. some one ought to take action against them or The| town marshal for not doing their du-| tv. it can be done at d ought to be; done. This one sided business in Peters-! burg has about played out with the] people. Taxes are burdensome, and* must be paid; even if the people do I not have quite enough to eat. So it ! stand the people in hand to raise all ! they can t<> meet expenses. 1 he trouble with Petersburg isthis: Little breeebes are most to i tight. In the cities stock runs loose, j It the editor ot the News will show i me three feet of pavement rooted up by hogs we will bear the expense of j having it repaired. A few loo-e planks on some of the back streets may be turned up but it is done, moie likely by the “human bog" who makes the midnight air hideous with his drunken yells. If the town board and the Marshal would look after this it would lie better. A- “Citizen" says it would be well to remember such during the coming elections. While I am a Republican, I fee! it would not tie so bad to put in a few Democrats, and in the future I shall vote more for the man than for party, I would like for the “wise-acres" to take a look once in a great while through the streets and alleys at the trash, and then pass another ordinance! The hog would be decent, and not a nuisance, beside it. 1 imagine P. T. Bamuin would pay more 'or the editor of the News as he stands 'ban for “thirteen cows with their tails in the air." Republican. Logan Chrouieles. Behold it wasa privilege as wellasadutr, that near the later end of the second year of the reign of-Anton, his party should hold a convention and nominate some one to be . tetrareh over the land called Logan. Then did menVmluds run out inquiringly, who shah we nominate? Those of the west said we will have Anion, for he has serveed us two years faithfully ami answered all our requests and beena jolly fellow, and we e-au use him at our wilt; hut those east said no, we will havs Henry, for he was a soldier and fought the battles of our country and has done valient work at elections, besides he is a true friend and neighbor and deserves a gift from the people. Now- it was in the! eleventh month of the last year of the reign of Anton, that the wise men were failed to-1 get her at a place edited Center, where an j | ojd saw mill once stood And where many poll it ienl conflicts had been, and the political mind had beeu. agitated with bad whisky and big words. Su it earns to pass on this day that they came front the north, south, Cast and west; so the friends ofAmon saw i that the friends of Henry were the greater, ! and they said, “It wilt not do to let tlmofi flee go east, for the brains of the party is j with us.” So they sat their wits to work to defeat Henry, and did so. for they were cun- ' ning—and wore brass upon their faces and f bultdoxed him through. Then spake many j 1 of the wise, saying, did we not putt the wool | over their eyes and shove our man in? Then | d.d the dwellers east reason ea hilly to themselves, saying of a truth those wise are well j skilled in all manner of subtility, and they I plot against u« every day that they may ! hold thepower and rule over us, for if we w ish to settle a matter with the township we- • have to go nigh unto the border uf Gibson. 1 Now, behold, we will seek to lie delivered of j them by helping the opposite,and peradven-; tine they wii! not do this evil any more. ! And they communed with Henry and made ! their Wants known, and Henry said, amen; i and they told it to their wives and little! ones. Theii were the hearts of many made! glad, and there was great trouble in the i eump ofAmon and they put on sack- cloth ! and mourn many days. But some of the j more cunning said, let them go, for are not ! those east an abomination unto us, for as- j suredly it is a shame unto us to seek counsel I of them, for we ean buy them with a little] whisky, for there is no stability in all the; Hast. Now lie of good cheer and we will go ! in most assuredly. Now when the baser I for west heard what the crafts said, there j arose a great swearing like unto which had , net entered into the imagination of any, and j the curses of the evil fell upon those east j like bombshells iu hundreds of millions. But, behold, in the next month, and on the seventh day, it was settled that Anion should not be chief rutor. Then were the times when men wore long faces and their hearts sank dowu deep w ithin them. But it came to pass that the cheekiest said, Wil-j hum can not fill his bond, then will not; A mon hold over even like Musters did of oid. But, behold, did not big John piu his name to the bond with live thousand annexed. Then the friends of Anion w ent to Big John and said, look here, John, we expect to run you for office, you take your name off that bond for we don’t want him to fill it, so that our partymay holdover. Butin due time' the bond was filled and Clem stepped on. Then did many of the wise pray; oh! that 1 w ere in the midst of the lake of hurniug, for the heat of my political wrath is worse than tires infernal, and even seven times hotter than ttie- hottest firws of hades. After manv days, when theii wrath had somewhat abated, they communed with each other, saying, in two years we will nominate our defeated and elect iiiru too, for we ean blarney them into the ranks. The two years passed otf peacefully, for William did justice to all men even to his enemies, except Lewis, for he gave hint not a school in all the land of l.ogan, though he had been a great friend to William in time of his election. Now it eump to pass in liaise peaceful days, near: the first or the third month, A. 1). ltWJ, that the enemies of William held a convention, and the friends of Anton made their saying true, though Little Tom Porter and many others did their best to circumvent him Then did wuse men of the party say to Amoy, you must la* reconciled with Henry, for he is to be dreaded by all west of the range line, for has not Portei declared that you can not ] make out a Supervisor's r*q>ort. Then did Auion arise am! dressed himself in his best, suit, and blackened his boots and filled a entice of oil, and placed two pomegranates ill his side pockets, and went to seek Henry; | amt when he drew near lie stood still; so j Henry lifted up his voice and said wh.it is it? ! Then Amoii lifted up his eyes, saying, !f I j may find favor in thy sight bid me come unto ; thee. he bade him, saying: How oruei ] is political strife of brothers in this great | brotherhood; and Annin annotnted Henry i with the oil and gave him the pomegranates, j Then did they exchange ambrotxps and re- - new their pledges of friendship and eon- , stancy, and tliev eoinmuned for a long time. Then did Anwii hasten away to seek his wife and little ones, and when he had told th em he threw himself ui>on the conch and slept soundly.
