After Irwin Bivins.

Danville Press. W. L. Wood, of Parr, Ind., was in the city yesterday looking for Irwin Bivins. He offered $25 for the arrest of the man. According to Mr. Wood’s story,ißivins had been guilty of mortgaging property that did not belong to him. He sold Bivins a team and wagon and took a mortgage on some corn and other chattels as security, but subsequently learned that the property did not belong to B*vine. He left the wagon at the home of his brother-in-law, G. W. Bullington, near Wolcott, Ind. He then bought a buggy and harness of a man by the name of Bloom, in Wolcott, giving a mortgage as security. He thfen drove the rig to this city and sold the entire outfit to Bob Hayes for $25. Sometime after this Mr. Bloom located his property here., James Pemberton the town marshal of Wolcott, came over here a few days ago and replevened the horse and baggy. Yesterday the men, Wood and Bloom, had come over to get their property. Both were anxious to get Bivins. Bivins is a married man and his wife resides near Parr, Ind. His father lives in this city. If what all the men who were here yesterday say is true, he is in atoiir way to get into serious trouble. ™ •
