The Independent wishes them all the happiness and prosperity imaginable. The trial of Herbert Dunn, John Aunspaugh and Benson Cook, charged with the robbery of the old soldier at Garrett, was taken up at Auburn Wednesday evening and concluded Thursday evening. The verdict ren-

J- A*U.X OVLC« J V ¥ VUXXIg. A 11V VVIU-lV U 1 Cll* dered in the case of Aunspaugh and Cook was “not guilty.” Dunn, however, fared differently. The evidence against him was conclusive, and a sentence of two years in the penitentiary was imposed upon him. Some of our neighboring towns boast of having their “Jack the Duggers,” “Jack the Chasers,” etc., but Walkerton furnishes a new kind of “Jack,” and it would seem that there is more than one of him. In the past few weeks this “Jack” has shown his hand on four or five different occasions, by untying horses hitched on the streets and driving away with them. Os course these escapades are always committed after night, generally about 10 o’clock. The rigs in most instances, have been returned to town, after this sneak would get through with them, and tied in some of the alleys or back streets. The last occurrence of this kind happened last Saturday night. Two rigs belonging respectively to Nel Harschbarger and Chas. Goodrich were taken from where they were hitched on Avenue F and driven out of town. Harschbarger, after a long search of several hours, found his horse and buggy hitched near the residence of John Flack, Sr., about a mile from town, and Goodrich’s horse was found loose in the road about two miles east of this place coming leisurely along on a walk towards town. No clue has, as yet, been obtained sufficient to fasten the guilt of these contemptible tricks upon the perpetrator . or perpetrators.

Barbecue day wound up with a pleasant and largely attended dance in Bender’s hall, under the managemement of Frank Ryder. The music

was furnished by by William Snyder and son Walter, of Plymouth, and Henry Muldoon, of this place. “Jack” was at it again Thursday night. A horse and buggy belonging to Peter Shenneman, who works near North Liberty, was cut Icose on Avenue F and driven away by an unknown morning on the road near ’ ieeglirdeu. This thing is becoming entirely too J,bick, and some one should be deputized too look especially after this matter until the guilty ones are caught. Irv Wolfe informs the Independent that the track of the Wabash was completed to North Liberty on Friday evening of last week. They are now laying the side tracks there and preparing to push the track on westward. It was the intention to have a big celebration there over the advent of the road but by request of the road officials it was abandoned. The Wabash people, it seems, had enough celebration at Wakarusa, where a large number of their workmen got on a tear and no work could be done for about three days.

Marriage of a Venerable Couple. Elder Peter Hummer, of this place, and Mrs. Julia Ann O’Connor, of North Liberty, were united in the bonds of wedlock last Wednesday at 11 o’clock, a. m., at the U. B. parsonage in this place, Rev. Snyder performing the ceremony. The groom is 85 years old and a veteran in the Baptist church, having spent 60 years of his life as a minister in that denomination. The bride is 76 years of age, and has been a resident of North Liberty for many years where she is held in high esteem by her neighbors and many acquaintances. Mr. and Mrs. Hummer will begin housekeeping in this place at an early date. There is no use talking, neither Harrison or Cleveland will be elected unless they take De Witt’s Little Early Risers. They have a “get there” quality possessed by no other pill. J. Endly. CONSUMPTION CURED.

IT WAS A CORKER. The Republican Barbecue in Walkerton —A Large Attendance—Long Parade — Good speaking. The republican barbecue held in Walker lo " last Thursday, which has beed advertised and talked about all over Northern Indiana for the past two weeks, was quite a success, though not nearly so much so as it would have been had the weather been more favorable. The rain on the three days previous to the occasion had put the roads in bad condition and this, in addition to the threatening appearance of the weather on the morning of the barbecue, conspired to prevent the attendance of large delegations from South Bend, Plymouth and Knox, which had made thorough preparations to come. However, notwithstanding these obstacles, the largest crowd that Walkerton ever saw before was here to partake of the “fatted calf” and lend its ears to the flow of eloquence from the orators of the day. A conservative estimate of the number of people in town would place it at 4,000, although some maintain that there were at least 5,000. At 11 o’clock the parade was formed and began marching through the principal streets, the Walkerton and North Liberty cornet bands playing lively airs as the parade passed along. While the North Liberty band was but recently organized they are capable of playing well and certainly deserve great credit for the rapid advancement they have made. The two largest delegations were from Oregon township, Stark county, and Liberty township, the former numbering about fifty teams and wagons and the latter fifty-three. The wagons were nicely decorated with flags, bunting and evergreen, and a number of wagons contained girls dressed in white representing the states with a goddess of liberty as the central figure. Au arch, draped in the red, white and blue from which was suspended the picture of the republican national standard-bearer spanned the crossings on Avenue F at the Stophens Store Co.’s, from Brubaker & Grider’s to D. N. Hudelmyer’s lumber office and from the Arlington building to Grobans’ blacksmith shop, which gave the street a strikingly handsome appearance. In addition to this the business houses, the most of them, and many of the residences showed handsome designs of the decorative art. And we must not neglect to mention that many of c^r democratic friends of the “unterrified” sort- nothing daunted, decorated their idences with the picture of their ador<^ national leader—Grover Cleveland. The town, in fact, presented, to use an old thread-bare expression, a “holiday appearance.” At the conclusion of the parade the crowd began to fall over each other to get to the place where the boiled beef, mutton, dill pickles, bread, etc., in endless quantities awaited their pleasure. It kept about a dozen or so of persons busy for two or three hours passing over the appetizing viands to the struggling multitude.

At two o’clock the crowd gathered around the bund stand to hear the speaking. After a vocal selection by the glee club and music by tbo cornet bands, Hon. Patrick O’Donnell, the celebrated Irish orator, was introduced by Attorney W. A. Dailey, and I interested and amused the people for about two hours with a rattling good speech—at least it would be considered as such from a republican standpoint. The Hon. O’Donnell had some trouble in making himself heard at first on account of the trains near by, but after the speaker had once got on a full head of steam he could bid defiance to locomotives or any other noisey disturbances. Following Mr. O'Donnell came Aaron Jones, who spoke for several minutes with bis usual ability and effectiveness. Capt. J. S. Dodge closed the meeting with a short speech which was earnest and apparently straight from the heart. The oratorical feature of the day was concluded with a speech by Mr. O’Donnell in the evening in the Hively building, at which there was assembled quite a large audience. NOTES. There was a force of six special policemen. For so large a crowd it was a most

quiet an^ orderly one. Two feipws, who had been imbibing a little to^freely, were nipped in the bud when they commenced to get a little too ( sart and were socked into the coole; The wide republican ticket, from Harrison fed’Reid down, was elected by an oveLbelming majority. The po|ce force attended strictly to business dd did not put up with any funny bujness. One nun mistook a street fakir for one of sh( orators and thinking the speaking jad commenced was making a bee-linefor the fakir when he was quietly apprised of his mistake. The Walkerton cornet band boys fairly outlid themselves. Their playing was iumense. There vere four street fakirs and all seemed to do a land office business. The übiquitous snake king was here in all his glory. There were numerous stands and they all seemed to be busy. One of the men employed in the surveying party of the Wabash extension was robbed of $lB and a gold watch Thursdav night.
