If you want the pure, unbiased truth read the Independent. Joe Fitzgerald is preparing himself for the occupation of a telegraph operator. It will not require more than about two months more for him to complete the trade, as he had it almost learned a few years ago v hen he quit it to follow other pursuits. Grant Tank favored the Independent with a copy of the Sunday Democrat, published at Davenport, lowa, where Grant is employed in a boot and shoe store. The Democrat is a bright, interesting paper, and thoroughly representative of that rattling, goahead city. Noah Shoemaker lias lately been improving his residence by placing in a large plate glass window and by the addition of a porch on the east side. He has furthermore beautified its appearance by placing fancy wainscotting and cornices at the gable ends making it one of the prettiest residences in Walkerton. “What route will the Three I extension take?” is a conundrum w’hieh at present concerns a good many people. It is probable that the Three I peop’e themselves have made no definite decision, as yet, whether they will go via Plymouth and Goshen or Walkerton and South Bend. It is an uncertainty at present, with the chances apparently largely in favor of the Walkerton-South Bend route. The managers of the Grand Palace hotel, of Chicago, who got to acting real smart with the Independent about paying for an advertisement, have finally got it through their thick wool that it is by far the wisest policy to act honorably with a newspaper, even a little one-horse one like the Independent. They have come down with the full amount due this office for

advertising their house. The wreck on the B. & O. at Wellsboro last Sunday cost seven of the trainmen their positions. They are as follows; William Hurst, F. B. Lapham, John Richmond, Noah VanScoik, Garrett Maxwell, H. Bradford and F. A. Brady. There were three trains mixed up in the wreck and a part of each crew was discharged. A number of the men discharged were old and valued employes of the road, and it is hoped by their friends that they may soon be re-instated in their old positions.

The democrats of Walkerton will meet in caucus at Bender’s ball, Friday evening, April 15, to nominate candidates for the town offices to be voted for at the corporation election to be held May 2. The town election being near at hand. May 2, it is now in order to begin discussing the availability of cer-

tain men as candidates for the several municipal offices. There is no lack of good timber in both parties to fill the positions. Elsewhere in this issue is an official notice of agreement of annexation between the city of So. th Bend and the town of Myler, the election to take place May 3. Myler is a prosperous town in good financial condition and would be a valuable accession to the

city. J. W. Nash, of near this place, died on Thursday, of paralysis. His sickness be^an with grip several weeks ago and finally terminated in the above disease. He was aged over 70 years. We have no further particulars this week. '

The owners of the Wabash extension and Lake Shore people, it seems, have come to an understanding in regard to that 80 acre strip owned by the latter between Crisman and McCool, and the Wabash people will be allowed to run their line through it. George Flood, of North Liberty, wrote A. H. Balwin, right of way man for the Wabash, in regard to the matter, and the latter in reply said that the affair had been satisfactorily settled between the two companies and that the Wabash extension would be built according to its present surveyed course without interference. The Ullery school, situated in Clay township, two miles north of South Bend, was left without a teacher, he having resigned last week. The trustee sent away some 23 or 24 miles for a teacher that was recommended as one of the best in the county, a teacher known for his thorough and satisfactory work in all the schools in which he lias taught, a young man of ability. We refer to none other than Chas. Robbins, of this place, who went last Friday to finish the unexpired term. It is to be hoped that he w ill not be persuaded to stay in Clay township another term, for Lincoln could ill afford to lose one of her most popular teachers. John Johnson, a Swede in the employ of Andrew Cunningham, while entering a field on the Cunningham farm last Sunday was attacked by a jackass and pretty roughly used up by . the vicious animal. Johnson was in-

toxicateu and not in very good shape to defend himself against the attack of the beast, which jumped onto Mr. Johnson with the evident intention of making a square meal of his victim. The jack bit a large chunk of meat off of the old man’s left wrist and chawed his left hip quite badly. The jack was scared away by boys before inflicting further injury. Johnson was assisted to the house. Dr. Arlington -was summoned and dressed the wounds. Johnson is getting along all right at present writing—Wednesday.

f Ini SULLIVAN SHOT. The champion of tne World Laid Low ^ter Repeatedly Insulting a Guest at th Harper House in Rock Island. “•ohu L. Sullivan, the champion of theivorid, 1 1US a t last met with the fate that awaits all men who by blow and braggadocio attempt to ride over their fell<w men. “hillivan returned to his hotel last niglt after the play at Harper's theatre n apparently bis usual spirits. He r^tiied shortly after, and it is supposed enjoyed a good uight's rest. This morning, however, he arose quite early and was decidedly out of sorts. He was snappy and snarled at those about him, and it was plainly visible that he was in a bad humor. As has been his custom for aeveral months past he took

iusWiA«fw breakfast with anwhether the two had been drinking or not is not known. On returning it was ’ seen that his temper had not been improved, and the other members of the , company did not put themselves iu his way any more than was necessary . He came down from his room about 6:20 o’clock, and after a few moments' conversation with one of the company iu ! the office, he entered the diuiug room, i Only a few persons were iu the room st the time, mainly commercial men, preparing to leave on the early trains. Sullivan sat at a table on the east side |of the room, his wife sat at his right, and directly across the table sut U. C. Smith, a traveling salesman. Sullivan was indulging iu au unusual display of ugliness; be pushed the dishes violently aside and snapped out something to the girl who was waiting on him.

y' Smith was plainly disgusted. He eyed V the big champion in silent contempt, •I but the latter quickly noticed it and r resented it with an insulting remark to r which Smith responded with another equally cutting. Sullivan was angered beyond control. He arose from his ’ chair and with scarcely a moment’s ’: warning made a lunge at the salesman, I but the latter was too spry tor him, 1 and stepping quickly aside he drew a pistol and before anyone could inter- , sere he sent a bullet crashing through j the champion’s brain. The tragedy caused almost a panic in the hotel,” ■ said Chief Clerk Willerton as with difficulty he related the above horrible dream which he had last night, to an Argus reporter this morning, which he thought would be rather a good April fool joke, and so you have it.—Rock Island Argus, April 1. The above we clip from the Davenport, lowa, Democrat, sent us by Grant Tank. He says the crowd to whom he read the article aloud let him off for seventy-five cents worth of cigars.
