The Latestfrom Nubbin Ridge.
When will the dominion of deviltry come to an ens in Nubbin Ridge? Five of the residents of that remarkable locality have but lately been released from the State Prison. Two are now undergoing punishment in Michigan City and the Recording Angel only knows how many more ought to be there. One of them is now in the Jasper county jail on a charge, which, if proven, will send him to keep company with Hays and McColly. As for the many minor transgressions, which, like the old man’s oxen we have all heard of, “are little but full of h-1,” and which are punished only in the justice court, or not at all, they are too numerous to mem tion. The individual above referred to as being nowin the county jail is a young fellow named Calvin Cavender. The Grand Jury, last week found an indictment against him for an unmentionable crime. If convicted the penalty cannot be less than two years in the penetentiary andmay be fourteen. He was arrested at Vv estville, in Porter county last Friday, by Sheriff Powell. His trial is set for next week.
