FROM TEFFT. Weather cold and clear. Mrs. Harry Small is reported worse again. The farmers have all of their ice put pp. Hon. I. D. Dunn spent Sunday at his home near Dunnville. Mrs. P. Maloney & Mrs. C. E. Jones are on the sick list. Mr. and Mrs. Jensen have relatives visiting them from Chicago. Henry Dahncke is back from Chicago, where he has been visiting for the past two weeks. Bell Chestnut. FROM WIIEATIIELD. A new Catholic church is to be erected in town soon. AV. E. Sweeney, of Hebron, Ind., was in town Friday and Saturday. Mrs. Maria Brown, of Porter Co., was visiting her parents at this place last week. Trains on the Three I road are running more regularly at present than for a few days past. J. F. Pettet was in town Saturday. He had just arrived from a few weeks visit among relatives at Kilbourne, Ohio. Rumors that were afloat that the road bed of the C. & I. C. was entirely washed out and nothing remained but a slight streak of the iron rust. This must have been somewhat exaggerated; while the road sustained heavy damages, yet the trains at intervals have been running upon the track.. On Mondaj T night of last week the people of our town were disturbed from their sound repose by an unaccustomed excitement. The cause being revealed, proved to be the suspicion of plunderers or burglars within the town’s limits. The alarm wus first given by one of the merchants, who claims to have seen in the dark the forms of two unknown persons at his store, trying to get in. He followed them a short distance and firing at them once or twice, the pursued returned the fire, and the pursuer find--ing it too warm for him, retreated. A light skift of snow .being upon the ground the people thought it would be an easy task to track these parties. A band of the town people, with lanterns, searched the town and suburbs, but no authentic proof c&nldW fownd «s to whom (if any), for what purpose, or where from of these visible or invisible forms of the unknown parties. Jas. Spikings claim that one of the flying balls took effect upon one oT his chickens. It is probable that the town w r ill make up a collection to pay the damage sustained. Adrift.

The Arrest of Those Confidence Men

The history of the capture of the two confidence men, arrested in this place last week, is interesting enough to deserve relating somewhat more in detail than we were able to do last week; and a brief sketch of the game they were playing may help to save someone being swindled by it It is the same old counterfeit money dodge that was worked twenty years ago through the mhils, by means of circulars. The method of working it now, is through the direct intercourse of the swindler with his victim. The swindler will pick on a man who has some money but no principle, and will gradually unfold to him a scheme by which he can make dead loads of money, and without a particle of danger. A U. S, Treasury note is exhibited to the victim and he is told that it was printed on plates stolen from; the government, by a treasury clerk, and that a reward of $25,000 has been offered for the recovery of the plates. The money is declared to be in all particulars identical with that issued by the government; and to convince the victim that it is so, a bill will be taken to a bank and exchanged. This money is printed and put in circulation by means of a regularly organized association, and is sold to the right sort of men at the usual rate of SI,OOO of the queer, for SIOO good money. If the game is adroitly worked the victim will hand over whatever ready cash he can raise, and get the promise of the. “queer” in a few days. Of course he never gets a cent of it, for the whole story by which he was gulled is false, and the pretended sample of counterfeit money was really good, sound cash. As usually worked the head swindler has a “pal” who is well acquainted with the proposed victim, and he “goes in” with the latter in bargaining for the mythical counterfeit money. Of course we have only given, the ground-work, of the scheme, and in practice it is somewhat more elaborate than we have given it, and is worked with many variations. In the plan as attempted by Templeton upon Elvin Israel the latter was required to sign a paper purporting to be an agreement to deal in. “imitation currency” and also an application for membership in a secret society, the sole business of which was handling the said currency. , In this case Templeton was the chief worker and Burns his confederate. They wormed on Israel all day- the .Saturday before their arrest, and resumed the battle “again Tuesday. On that day they found that Mr. J. H. Jessen, the life insurance agent, was. a friend of Israel’s and had much influence with him, and concluded to secure his help in “doing up” Israel. Templeton therefore went to Jessen Tuesday evening and unfolded enough of his scheme that the latter saw what it was and told Templeton to call at his office late that evening. Jessen then got a couple of reliable men to secrete themselves behind a thin partition in his office, and when Templeton called upon him, they heard all that was said. The offer made by Templeton was that Jessen should influence Israel to invest-in the scheme, and that he, Jessen, should have one-third of the hundred for his troubte. Mr. Jessen -allowed. Templeton to reveal his whole of operations, in hearing of the witnesses, and then, very properly gave the sheriff the word to arrest him and Burns. It -was a very neat piece of detective work, and Mr. Jessen deserves great credit for the skill and boldness shown by him in the matthr. Templeton is an old hand at the business and claims to have “done’’ a good many different persons, included.. even deacons and other godly men. He claims to have beaten one resident of this county to the extent of eight hundred dollars, and many others to a lesser extent. Of course if a man is beaten at this game he never says anything about" it, because to do so would be to admit that he had been trying to buy counterfeit money. After Templeton was arrested hethrew away a paper which was afterwards picked up and handed to the sheriff. The following is a ver bahut copy: • • -v ' Rfnsselaerlnd Feb 20. 87.

Death of Oar Oldest Citizen.

Nathaniel Scott, the oldest person in Jasper county, and one of the oldest in Northern Indiana, died at the residence of his son-in-law, Conway Stone, just west of town, last Saturday, Feb. 26th, aged 96 years, 10 months and 18 days. He was born in County Doneghal, Ireland, in 1790, and was brought to this country when but six years old. He lived successively in Pennsylvania, Ohio county in 1855. He was a soldier in war of 1812, serving until the close of the war. He was twice married, first to Anna McDowell, who bore him 6 children, and after her death, to Mrs. Sarah Horner, who bore him 4 children. Of these ten children five survive him. The funeral was held Monday at the M.'E. church, and was conducted by Rev. Handley.

A Prisoner Escapes.

Ike Middleton, the saloon and gambling crook, of Fair Oaks, who has been in jail for the last month or two, awaiting trial for illegal selling of liquor and permitting minors to play pool, has been claiming to be sick for the most of the time of his incarceration and for that reason has been treated with much leniency by the sheriff. He had many times besought permission'to be allowed to visit his wife and children at Fair Oaks, and last Saturday Mr. Yeoman permitted his deputy, Orlando Yeoman, to take him to Fair Oaks for that purpose, Middleton making the most positive pledges not to make any attempts to escape or to misbehave himself in any way. On arriving at Fair Oaks the deputy permitted YJiddleton to go into a room with his wife, for a little private conversation, he piomising upon his honor to make no attempt to escape. When the deputy called for him in 10 or 15 minutes he w r as gone. He had slipped out of the back door, taken to the thick brush which abounds in that vicinity and made good his escape. The deputy, procured assistants and scoured the woods all day Saturday and Sunday, but without catching sight of the lost jail-bird. He is still continuing the search, over a wider scope, but at' last accounts had no reliable clue to Middleton’s whereabouts.
