MONDAY—Continued.

Cb arfey M urray, Jaspercounty’s only successful ticket holder in Uncle Sain’s great lottery of Oklahoma land, has made his selection, but no information has been received as to how good a choice he was able to secure. He was sick abed for several days after his return to Oklahoma and that fact may have interferred with his chances for as good a selection as he other wise might have secured. His name was in the E! Reno district.

Mrs. Ann PeterSjjijjuite fleshy lady, 65 years of age, and residing four miles south of town, fell Sunday, Aug. 4th, and aside from a few bruises did not think she was injured, A continued soreness in the right shoulder, however, caused her to summon a physician yesterday or just one week after she fell. Dr. Johnson, who was called, found that the right shoulder was dislocated and he assisted by another physician will reduce the’same today. Of the various relatives visiting Mr. and Mrs. Berry Paris, all have departed except their- daughter, Mrs. Amanda Lewis, who will remain for some weeks. Mr. Lewis has gone to Oxford to assist his father in completing a gravel road contract, after which he will go to Colorado, with a view of removing there. Mr, and Mrs, Kimball left Sunday for their home at Brooklyn, N, Y., taking little Ellen Paris with them for a year’s stay, if not permanently. Robert Paris is in Chicago, and will .leave for Yonkers, today. His wife will visit relatives in Kewanna and other parts of this state, before returning home. The excursion to Chicago yesterday was the best patronized from here of any Chicago excursion of this year, though it fell nearly 100 below the number who took in the hot sand blast trip to Michigan City, some time ago The number of tickets sold here yesterday was 217. The excursion was proportionately well patronizod from other points and the train was crowded. It was so heavily loaded, in fact, that on the return trip it came back in two sections. There were 18 cars in the train and had 10 or 12 more people than there were seats for in each car.

The Carroll county old settlers’ meeting at Delphi Saturday was not so largely attended as it generally is, owing largely to dusty roads, the extreme dry conditions prevailing there and the flatural tendency to economize in the drought laden districts. The usual number of street fakers were on hand to ply their professions and those who did attend the meeting were given every opportunity to separate forever their pockets and their cash. The speaking program was conducted at the grounds west of town and was quite interesting to all acquainted with the eady settlement of that county. There was an explosion of some kind about 10:30 Sunday night, in the rear of a saloon on Clark street, Chicago, quite close to the Monon depot. Many of the excursionists from down the line bad gathered at the depot to return home and heard the explosion, and the excitement that followed. Some of them joined the crowd that rushed to the place. Among these was Perry Marlatt, just north of Rensselaer, and as a result some of the tough characters in which that neighborhood abounds, relieved him of a good gold watch and chain, valued at $35. The explosion killed one man and injured several other persons.
