A Mean Man.

The Warsaw Republican has heard of the champion mean man. It says that there is a business man over at LaG range who is meaner than the man who crossed his bees with lightning bogs so they would work at night. The Indiana man is a merchant, and while driving from Rome City home he lost a wallet containing SB,OOO. A lightning rod agent from Kalamazoo, Mich., chanced along and found the money. The Michigander proceeded on his way and it was three months before heard of the owner, although he made diligent search for him. When the LaGr&nge man got possession of his lost treasure he said nothing, but yrent straightway ' and began suit in the Circuit Court against the lightning rod agent for interest on the money at the rkte of 8 per cent, setting up in his complaint that the use of it waif worth that amount.
