The testimony In thetrlal Mon. morning developed that Ash, accompanied j by two Terre Haute women and some others wandered up to Barnaby’s mill Saturday night. They ap- j pealed to Goodman to let them in to
get warm, which he did.
Then Ash gave Goodman $1.50 and sent him out to get 12 bottles of beer and' a pint of whisky. Goodman got it all right and *the party began to grow more sociable. Finally Goodman, believing that his company was getting too boistrous, ordered them to leave. Ash refused to go and Goodman got his revolver to force him to do so. He pointed the revolver at Ash. This was enough. Ash attacked him, took his revolver away and struck him sev-
eral blows.
Goodman got mad at the treatment given him and swore out a warrant charging assault and battery. As the result Ash was arrest-
ed and fined.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
The County Commissioners met Mon. morning in regular session. In addition to the regular work of passing on claims a considerable amount of special business was trans-
l acted.
In the case of the Omer C. Sanders road No. 115, in Franklin and
Jackson townships, the D. H. Barker dogs unless tied.
Foxes have become so numerous in Floyd township that during fhe past few years they have, driven by hunger, killed many lambs and much poultry belonging to the farmers in that township. Never in many years have there been so many foxes in that neighborhood as now. On occount of the boldness developed by the animals in the past few weeks the farmers in Floyd township have organized against the “Mr. Reynards,” and will Saturday, March 7, hold a “Grand Fox Drive.” The drive will center on Marion Wright’s farm at 11:30 o’clock Saturday morning. This is only three idles from Fillmore and many from ! Greeneastle will go up on the Interurban and see the fun. It is expected that many foxes will be killed. The drive lines will form and move at 9:30 o’clock Saturday morning and will center on Marion Wright’s farm just south of the house at 11:30 o*Hoek. The lines are as follows: the north line running on a line with the road that runs cast and t •'st, north of the Nelson Wright farm and a mile south of
the Rockville road.
East line the county line. South a direct line from Del mar to the county line, and west line, Big Walnut to Fred Brown’s place, direct south to the Big Four railroad. The officers of the drive will be: Chief Commander, Frank Garret. Captains: North line, Lenard Christy. Harry Alter, Charlie Wright, Will Zeiner and Ray Randolph; East line, Edgar Wilson. Ed McVey, Marion Miller and Jim Mastin; South lino, Ben Lisby, Amos Fultz, Alva Lisby, Walter Wright and Frank Day; West line, Henry Philipps, Emra Wright, Chalio Purcell, Aaron Cooper and Milt Ford. All captains will wear a white sash. No fire-arms will be allowed or
Mayor Hays has been notified by William Siliery, through his attorneys, Gillen & Wilson, that he will file suit for damages against the city. Siliery slipped and< fell in front of the box ball hall on the east side of the square last TuesJay and broke the third finger of his right hand. Harry Randel, who owns the building, probably will be made a defendant in the suit. The accident was caused by a loose board in the platform in front of the building, so Mr. Siliery will allege. The building is owned by Harry Randel. The state law provides that in case anyone contemplates filing suit for damages against a city he must notify the city of his intentions. This has already been done and the suit probably will be filed within a few days. Mr. Siliery is a barber by trade and the accident to his hand may force him to give up his trade. He says that the accident was due to a loose board in the platform just outside of the building door. The boards had rotted and become loose. Mr. Sellery had been in the box ball hall. As he started back into the barber shop, which is next door, he stepped’ on one of the loose boards and fell. He probably will ask damages of five or ten thousand dollars.

Ladoga, Tnd., February 29.—The first victory in politics for the Democrats was gained Tuesday when John Taylor and John Overstreet came to blo-ws. The question being discussed was who would he the Republican candidate Porpresident. Many made different suggestions, when finally Uncle Joe Cannon was mentioned as an excellent man for nomination, whereupon Mr. Taylor said that if such were the case Bryan would win the presidency In a walk, and turning to Overstreet casually remarked that if such a thing occurred Overstreet, who is a rural mail man, would lose his job. For years this had been Overstreet’s sore place, therefore Taylor had struck the wrong spot on Right Honorable “Mulo Supporter.” The insults that followed became at length unbeirab’e and Mr. Taylor removed his coat and waded Into the fray. Overstreet was also prepared and the battle waxed warm. At first Overstreet made a good showing, but before many counts began to weaken and gradually back toward the front door. Taylor followed and launded every little bit to remind Overstreet that he was still in the fight. After backing nearly to the front door Overstreet resolved to make one last stand. It was here that he was overpowered and hurled head foremost into the cigar case. Both men Immediately went up to the squire's office, pleaded guilty and settled their fines, which were $9.75 each. Mr. Taylor firmly believes the money was well invested and is perfectly satisfied.— Crawfordsville Review.

WITH X LUMP OF COAL
All Ratcliff Makes an Assault upon the Person of Joseph Raker with Serious Damage to Raker’s Head.
Bainbridgi
Coal Yard
WAS AT THE RAILROAD CAMPS
West of Livery]
Too much leisure and a small disagreement resulted in a badly damaged head for Joseph Baker and a jail experience for All Ratcliff. It all happened at the railroad camps west of town where a number of men are camping, waiting for construction to begin again with the coming on of warm weather. Ratcliff and Baker had had a dispute, and words passed between them. Ratcliff claims that Baker threatened him with a carving knife. At any rate he felt called upon to quell the spirit of Baker and did so by pounding his head with a ten pound lump of coal picked up from the pile for that purpose. Baker’s head, when he appeared in police court Frl. morning was a mass of bruises where it could be seen. A large portion of the caput, however, was covered with cotton and many bulky bandages, giving the impression of more serious damage covered up. His Honor the Mayor gave small credence to the knife story and proceeded to hand out a sentence of five dollars and costs to the too promiscuous Ratcliff. Having no money he will hoard at the expense of the county till tlie fine Is satisfied. He says that it is all right, he is only waiting for work any way. In the mean time Baker will attempt to cure his head. This is the same Ratcliff who was nearly killed at the interurban camps last summer, when, in a drunken fight, he was struck on the temple with a piece of two-by-four pitched endwise like a spear. His ’ 11 was crushed and for a time It was believed he would die.
