Pike County Democrat, Volume 24, Number 5, Petersburg, Pike County, 23 June 1893 — Page 8

A jolly crowd from tl»U place consisting of Salem Hammond, AVill Liibs, James Jliley, John Bead, McJKinder Frank, Sherman ^jlemlroii and Charles Pipes made up a fronting party Jto' Dubois county last week. ,1'hey went to front and hunt they did. .They took a camping outfit with .them and were 'prepared for any emergency, and woe betide the bear or chicken' that crossed their paths. They have returned and niajc a rea port to the reporter of The Dkmockat of their captured gani<\ which coiisisten of 412 squirrels, 23 w ild turkeys, numerous ducks ‘and chickens 'and tame turkevs. One deer was heard running in the bush egrly one morning, but'before the dogs could i>e awakened from their snooze the fleet-footed fellow had disappeared across the river, the ice being sufficient to bear liim up. A bear trap was erected as soon as the hoys reached the hunting grounds as the tracks of several grizzlies had been seen while making the trip. After the trap had been finished, and while out skirmishing one night one of the hunters run into the jaws of death and was captured. He set up a terrible yell, and the boys immediately turned out and found John Head safe and secure jn the trap. This is the cause of John’s limping since he came home. One iporiiing the poys came upon the fresh tracks of several bear and followed them up until at some distance in a large wheat field they were lost. The wheat was so* tall that the povs were nearly lost. The hunters were nearly frightened to death one evening by the screaming of a wild cat, which hah perched itsself near their tent, and which sent forth the most unearthly yells they bad ever heard. The boys sav they fiad a splendid time and will take a trip again next year. Will Liibs, the |ioys say, failed to shoot a cow on this trip, thinking it a buffalo. The jsoys are we} 1 pleased with their trip and the success of their hunt, which consisted of fifty seven squirrels billed ami wounded.

The business men ou lower Main street are making a desperate effort for an electric light ou the corner of ijfain and Sixth streets. They will petition the city council at their next ineeting for a light. There is an immense amount of business done on lower Main in the evenings andfin the name of justice and right a light should be placed there. The members of the council have light on the subject and probably know what is right, and the taxpayers should have light. The Democrat, does not mean to make a fight on the old members of the council for the. di tribution of jights. !Not at all.. But while giving some sections plenty they should have remembered that the business men in the now dar|c jectiou would also need a ray or two. It is probable that a light will be placed there, and it would be just and right. The electric light company, we understand, will puf in another light if the council so orders it.

It was given as a benefit for the banj boys by two young fellows named Bradbury and Blodgett, of 1’rinceton. The “benefit” came in th£ way of the ba«d boys putting their hands into their pockets for severaf dollars. The boys left town, Tuesday morning, thoroughly disgusted with the show business and will go to worTk’ once more.

Sheriff Kinnjan arrested Allie Roberts, of Clav township, last Monday evening. He is charged with having aided prisoners to escape from the conntv jail. Mike Robinson, deputy sheriff, made the affidavit. It will be remembered that on the evening of February 5§th, James McAtee anil Levi Lockhart escaped from the county jail. The door was unlocked aud the prisoners walked but and made their escape. McAtee was captured a few weeks ago in Missouri, and Lockhart was captured at Washington last Sunday. At the time there was considerable criticism against! the sheriff for the manner, in which they escaped. Sheriff lvinman went to work with a determination jo recapture the men who escaped at any cqst, and he has done so. But in doing it, it is supposed he has collected such evidence as will show that the prisoners had outside assistance. It is said [that during the winter fires were Jccpf up in the prison, and that While the slierifT and his deputy were in the cell room Lockhart took the keyaout of the door aud hid it. The sheriff missed the key in a few days and a search was made for it, but without success. The key the prisoners secured was aii old one which was partially worn out, and was only occasionally used. The key was secured about eight days before the escape was made, and as is stated was given out by McAtee to some person. Roberts .is a son-in-law of McAtee, and a young man of good reputation. He will have his preliminary trial before bquire Chappell on Friday, June 30th. He is out on bond for his appearance at that time%

The meeting called at Winslow last Saturday for the purpose of taking the necessary steps toward petitioning the board of commissioners not to build a jail at this time was not so largely attended as anticipated owing to the farmers being so busy with the crops. There was a fair representation of people there for all that and resolutions were adopted, a copy of which up to this time has not been sent us for,publication. Committees for the several townships were appointed to circulate petitions to be signed by those not favorable toward building a new jail; The petitions will be brought before the board of commissioners on the 13th of July when that body will open the sealed proposals for the erection of a new jail and sheriffs residence. Just what that body will do in regard to the petitions or the letting of the contract remains to be seen. L -:- The sudden appearance of summer with mercury but a point or two short of ninety, suggests the advice that all classes or people should beware of over exertion and over worry These two errors kill more people thah all diseases combined. If one would avoid cholera and all dreaded epidemics of torrid weather, the best preventive is to “ take things easy” and not rush headlong into being an easy prey to sickness. Moderate work and attention to all the requirements of hygiene will go far towards making the summer more tolerable. The Lime Kiln club Is making extensive preparations for their grand camp-meeting iu the near future. They expect to have Bro. Gardner, of the noted Lime Kiln club of Detroit, Michigan, present with them on this occasion. We are not aware just where the event will take place, but suppose the fair grounds will be used. One 0/ the promoters from Knox county was in the citv last week and informed us that the president now had tickets of admission, which were ready for sale.

That abortive sheet, the Chicago Sunday Sun, in its last issue proceeds to roast several people of this city. The correspondent from this place is one of t-hose fellows who has beeu disowned from society and by friends, heuce his roarings. The flings cast at some of the citizens are disgraceful and the writer thereof should have a stone tied to his body and flung into the river. Some say the writings bear the earmarks and that he is known. The implement men have sold iii the neighborhood of 125 reapers and binders this season. The trade in farm machinery has been exceptionally goo<^.

Levi Lockhart, -who escaped from jail with MeAtee several mouths ago was arrested at "Washington last, Sunday by Marshal Cavanaugh. The .marshal telegraphed here and Deputy Sheriff Robinson went over that evening and' brought Lockhart over Monday morning. He has been working in a fruit tree nursery near Vincennes for a few months past. He says he has never been more than sixty miles away at any time. He says the story MeAtee give out contained considerable manufactured “wind.” The culvert over the branch near the flouring mill on Ninth street has been undergoing a system of improvement during the past two weeks, when this culvert was put in a year or two ago it was made too small to carry away the water, heme the unnecessary expense of widening it out at this time. It is covered with timber which in a course of time will rot away. It would have been wise in the council to have built a stone arch and thus obviate further expenditure of money on the work. William Leighty, living three miles north of the city, fell from a barn Monday evening aud broke his lett leg above the ankle.( It is a compound‘fracture, one of the bones was broken in two places,while the others protruded through the flesh. Drs. ilunter apd Link were called. ‘ They worked nearly all of Monday night getting tlie limb in proper shape, a portion of the bone having to be removed in order to set the limb. Dick Hayden, of near Union, while in the woods last Thursday getting out timber, met with a very serious accident. A dead limb on a tree fell upon his head and rendered him unconscious for nearly two days. Medical aid was summoned at once, and although his injuries are serious the physicians have hopes of his complete recovery from (lie shock. Lizze Borden, New Bedford, Massachusetts, who was accused of murdering her father and mother, was acquitted of the charge last Tuesday by the jury. The trial consumed nearly three weeks, and was the mo^t interesting trial that has ever taken place iu that state. Considerable interest was taken in the out-come of the case at this place.

A great many farmers are considering the advisability ot putting in a crop of barley this fall instead of wheat. There is no doubt whatever but what barley will pay better than wheat from the fact that the former is imported into this country for manufacturing purposes while the latter is exported. Henry Backes, a former Petersburg boy who joined the regular army several years ago, has finished his term and taken a position in the government Indian schools at S&nta Fee, New Mexico. He has sent for The Demockat to enlighten him on the happenings of his old home town. Her. F. C. Iglehart, New York, writes; “A corn on the toe Is a thorn in the flesh, which ‘C. C. C. Certain Corn Cure’ most mercifully removes.” ' -for tale by Bergen. Oliph ant & Co. 1 Children Cry for Pitcher's CastorlaH\ ' L ■ , vVr‘ !" - _—.
