Spirits. Hovered O'er Stinesville Sunday Night. And Took Upon Their Spiritual Wings The Body of a Dying Man Where No Man Knoweth. In the Dead Hour of Night William Deck was . Removed in Mystery. ' Stinesville is again in the throes of an un explainable mystery. The citizens had hardly recover ed from the exeiiement occasioned bjr the bloody midnight duel of last Thursday festwetr David Cullcroes and4 William Deck, when they were called upoft yesterday morning to nave another boat with excitement. Deck who was in a dying condition, was inysOme oaanner removed from his bediin the Easton hotel after midnight Sunday. He was spirited away to where, no one seems to know. Whoever took tho dying man from his room knew the bouse, well. They found egress by the rear door, passing through several rooms, a hallway and down a rear stair. A cov was evidently provided with which to carry him- from the room. Tracks of 'a buggy were visible leading from a rear door, which proved conclusively in what manner he was removed from the s.ene The hotel people profess ignorance of the affair and seemed t ! greatly astonished as the citizens. Justice of the peace E. A. Morgan told the Would reporter last evening that he had made a close inspection of grounds ' but could find no clue to the parties who removed the dying man, which condition he was supposed to be in. Mr. Morgan came to this city to report the matter to Prosecutor Edmondson. The jteople of Stinesville look upon the proceeding as something iieriiatural. What steps the prosecutor will take is not known, but t he matter will receive a close investigation. Deck's former residence was at Jolictt, Ills., and at the time of thf oui ting affray was employed by a bridge company who were building the new railroad bridge near StinesviUe. Cullcross was able to be out of bed for the first time yesterday though he is still a very weak man. Red Men meet tonight. SHORT.

telephoned The World last night rthat the report now circulated on the streets that he was going to shut down the pumps is untrue. He did "say that he supposed he would have water for the consumers for some two weeks yet, and has hopes that rains will come to the rescue ere then. Chief Gilmore had the fire company out filling the big cistern on the north side from the Third street cistern last night. Many people do not realize that the big cistern near the engine house is about all the protection the entire public square has from fire, yet last evening it only contained about five feet of water. Other cisterns about town being eauallv as low. bo it can readily be seen that the utmost precautions should be observed by all citizens. Don't burn paper or brush in the streets as a conflagration is liable to be the result. Even private families have not much water. Wells and cisterns are about to, and in many cases have suspended operations. Still Nabbing Them. Police Proceed Pulling PickPockets. The police at Logansport re-in-forced by railway detectives arrested about fifteen pickpockets that were following Barnum'g show Saturday. Among the names as published in the Journal, appears that of John .Roland, one of the men arrested here and fined by Mayor Buskirk. At Crawfordsville eleven of these same birds now adorn the stone pile for like offense committed Friday while the same show was exhibiting there. No doubt the fellow who escaped so cleverly from Sheriff Adams is now plying his usual vocation wherever this show may be. BICYCLE CLUB. Organized Last Night With a Large flembership. There has been a movement on foot for some time, to organize a bicycle club in Bloomington. Last night a number of our -.wheelmen met at the Criterian Club rooms and formed an organization. Arthur Shelper was elected president; Ropb Davis, vice president; W. H. Wylie, secretary; Ralph Rhorer, treasurer and Fred Brandon, captain. The dub has the following charter members: Fred Brandon, Ralph Rhorer, Noble Campbell, John Pauley, Arthur Shelper, Frank Smith, Ernest Jackson, Otto Rott, Albert Seward, Ross Davis, W. H. Wylie and Lad Lauman. Any wheelmen wishing to join will send up their applicants through some member, and at the meeting next Monday night their names will be considered and upon a three fourths majority, be elected to membership. The club has as one object, the enforcement of the road laws. A number of cyclers have met with accidents through the unwillingness of some persons to give half the road, as the law requires. Every wheelman is invited to co-operate in this movement. Got ready. The Big Bloomington Fair.

Three for a Thousand Each. The Sequel of a Mid-summer's Shooting Affray. It will be remembered by the readers of The World that on the fifteenth day of June last there ap peared in these columns a report of a shooting scrape indulged in on the South Pike by William Douglass and Fredrick Koontz. The trouble originated over the affections of a yomg lady in the neighborhood of Buena Vista,which were bestowed with a lavish hand by the fair one, first upon one of the young men, and then the other The green-eyed monster's power began coursing through the heated veins of each young man in question until it assumed blood heat. The boys met in town on Saturday, the 15th of June and indulged in a much wordy war. It was finally decided to go out of the city limits and fight it out fists only to be used. Abont one o'clock in the afternoon in company with Clarence Coleman, Win, Thrasher, Con Thrasher, Samuel Koontz, Chas Helms, John Coleman and Clarence May all young men of thir acquaintances and respective neigh borhood, they drove down to the Cooper shop at the intersection of the South Pike and the Rockpoit road, where would be decided who was the belter man. Koontz was the first to alight from his horse and was walking around the beast towards Douglass who had by this time dismounted and at the same time drew a twenty-two calibre revolver and began shooting at Koontz, who though taken by surprise, clinched with his adversary and threw him to the earth disarming him, but not until he had fired three shots, one of which took effect in Koontz's right lung and where it is now imbedded. Douglass was soon afterward arrested and placed under bonds for hjs appearance in court at the Octo ber term Koontz was taken to his father's i home at South Union, where he

A iurjie number of young men gather nightly on the west side to make war on bats. They each secure a large paddle and station themselves near an electric light in front of Jesse Howe's fruit store, and fan the air for more than four hours in their frantic efforts to ex terminate a few of these ugly winged creatures. S. L. Wilhite holds the record of killing more of these bats than any one person In the city. It has been proposed that a clul. be organized in the near future that will be known a "Hat OuV' Tt proves to be great sporv. dur ing the evening.
