KELLOGG HITS BACK AT MICHAEL.

A new feature was added to the case of Kellogg, of Canada land fame, at Lafayette,“Tuesday? It was in the form of a civil suit instituted by Kellogg, through his attorneys, against Prof. George W. Michael, for malicious prosecution. The suit is for $15,000, which shows that Kellogg will be satisfied with. little, which we already knew he would be from previous experience. The complaint alleges that Mr. Michael procured the filing of the affidavit by Theodore Moore, against Kellogg, charging him with grand larceny, and resulting in his present imprisonment in the Tippecanoe county jail. Another paiagraph alleges that Michael called on Kellogg, in the Bloomington jail, and wanted to compromise the matter by Kellogg paying him $450. It also a-serte that Michael frightened one of Kellogg’s witnesses away from Bloomington. The Bloomington Telephone, in a well-considered article, condemns the way in which other papers there tried and acquitted Kellogg, and intimates its belief that Kellogg is guilty and will be punished in the Lafayette court. Mr. Michael is quoted as stating that Payson, of Watseka, who was here Tuesday, and who is Kellogg’s principal attorney, will not be per mitted to appear in the cases now pending. He has been disbarred in Illinois, and also it is stated in Kansas, and according to Mr. Michael, the disbarment will be made effective in this state, also. From what can be learned of Payson’s past record, he is the kind of a man Kellogg would naturally look for to defend him.
