Lawrence Ki.emm, Big Four miller: “I have been located here about one month and am delighted with the town and Its people. I have nothing hut words of praise for your beautiful city and the class of people who have their homes here. However, I do think it a peculiar fact that your merchants insist upon handling an Inferior quality of foreign flour while I am struggling to Introduce my goods. I make an A1 straight grade flour; the Hoar shipped here is a cheap grade with Hie patent taken out. The people should understand this and I ask for space In the Dkmothat, the people’s paper, to make this statement. My flour Is on sale at the mill, I guarantee II, and unless I can secure an opening with the stores I will start a flour house myself and alreifty have negotiations underway for that purpose. I do not want to he classed . as a ‘kicker,’ but I think the people and dealers should support their home mill ns far as possible, without loss to themselves.”

Ph.W. (J. Ovehntert: “It Is only a (piestlon *f time when we will have a new court house, and you ought to advocate Its erection elsewhere than In the public square. It Is our only chance to secure a public park, which is of equal Importance with a new jq-mplc of justice. There Is another point to ' h<%considered In this connection. A court house, to be erected on a street, would cost much less than a building in the public square, for the reason that the latter would have to be equally imposing and attractive on every side. You ought to make a point of fids for the benefit of the taxpayers of the county, with whom 1 am always In sympathy,” Shut Away His Hand. Will Day, son of William Day, of North Uireeticastle, started hunting Wednesday horning. While near Harnaby’s mill he rested the butt of his gun on the ground with I his left hand over the muzzle. His dog was l , cited over the proposed hunting expedition kid In his delight playfully jumped about |q« muster. One of the animal’s paws struck tli* hammer of the gun with sufltolent force to rabe it high enough to discharge the firearm. Hr. <«. Hmythe thinks the entire hand will have to come off, but is trying to save! part of it. The wounded man was hrwnghl up town in a buggy as quickly ns possible hut was very weak and sick from loss of blood.

“ Florence Duilz, 200 Broadway, Jeffersonville, Ind.," written on the margin of a newspaper by the owner of the name and thrown from the window of a Monon car at Greencastle was indirectly the cause of an unpleasant experience to two wellknown young men of that place. As Miss Duilz was returning from Chicago several weeks ago, on the Monon road, she wrote her mime and addresson a paper and threw it at the feet of two young men, Will Breedon and W. A. Siddona, who stood at the depot at (ireencnslle. Breedon picked up the paper and tore off the margin containing the name. This he put in his vest pocket and thought no more about it ui - ill he and Siddons were in Jeffersonville on Friday in search of employment. Siddons is a telegrapher and Breedon a wood carver. They spent Friday in a canvass of the car-works, ship-yards and other places,

seeking for work. DECIDED TO CALL.

During tlie day they talked about the Jeffersonville girl whose name they learned in the manner described, and determined to call on her. When they approached the place and found it was a saloon they became convinced that they had been ‘‘sold” and proceeded to hold a council of war. TAKEN FOR m'ROLARS.

were planning to rob him. In anticipation of slid: an event Duilz sent for Capt. Cisco and Officer Chapman. Breedon and Siddons, in the meantime, entered the saloon and called for a glass of beer. In payment the former offered a $2 hill. Duilz was nervous and excited, and lie gave back $4 90 in change, which Breedon pocketed without counting. Leaving Siddons to prosecute inquiries about Miss Dtlitz. Breedon left and went to the boarding-house where they had been slopping. He had been gone but a few minutes when Dili'/, discovered his mistake. PLACED UNDER ARREST. A t this juncture the police arrived, and Siddons was arrested, but I e deposited witli Duilz a Hue cold watcli until lie and the police could go in search of Breedon. When the latter was found he promptly returned the money, and a full explanation was made, resulting in the development of I lie reason why they were eyeing the Duilz residence. Miss Duilz was not seen by either of the parties. Breedon was married only six weeks ago, and Siddons is to be married to a young lady at Greencastle in a short time.

Saiitli End Spunk Detected in its Nocturnal Diversion James Black and His. Knipp tiun. James Black, the genial coal merchant, has suffered greatly since fall weather set in from the depredations of coal thieves. Saturday night was cold, gloomy and forDidding—in fact, exactly such a night as is usually chosen by tltieves. thugs and ghosts to walk abroad. A chilly, drizzling rain fell all night,, but Mr. Black bravely patrolled the Vandalia switches like a veteran on his beat, determined to capture one of the thieves who had been despoiling him. He carried his trusty shot-gun, “Daniel Boore,” which was charged to the muzzle with goose shot. Dsn O’Connell is always awake when anything is going on at the Soutl* End ; but when a heavy roar which rattled the window panes jarred him out of bed at 5 o’clock Sunday morning, he lit in Ids trousers with a gasp of surprise. Dan thought one of the boilers at the electric light works hud let go. or the gas reservoir had gone on a tear. He soon ascertained what was the “ principal trouble." At that hour Jim Black, with Ids nerves strung to their highest tension, espied a man through the ghostly mist on one of his cars of coal. He hud never been manhunting before and was nervous. When he pulled trigger the heavy charge in his gun tore the entire side out of a gondola coal car, making kindling wood of the heavy pine timbers. The figure threw up its hands and fell Irom the car with a shriek of agony at the crack of the gun. It lit in a pond, and when Mr. Black captured it was standing knee-deep in water and shaking like a leaf. When Jim seined it out he found he had snared one Morris Dilley ami called loudly for some one to send in an alarm for the " patrollin’," but soon changed his mind and released his victim who said he was "just after one lump.” Black will have to settle with the people whose slumber lie disturbed by the discharge of his camion. 'Si|itii‘e Ashton's Court. When people got in trouble they invariably rush for the tribunal of justice engineered by that potent cadi, renowned for his Just decisions, ’Squire Ashton. Blsmilluh! he is an upright alcalde. Morris Dilley, petit larceny, having been detected in an attempt to lay in enough coal to run him during the chilly season at the expense of James Black, was recognized, to court and hls bond fixed at f2Tj. J. w. Gayne is hls attorney. Mrs. Rogers, of Fox Ridge, obstructed a highway or alley. Prosecutor James, J. W. Gayne and that bright young lawyer. Smith Matson, appeared for the State, but Ren 1’. Carpenter proved too much for the trio and triumphantly cleared his client. However, she vigorously expressed her opinion of courts, lawyers and Dogberry row in general. Like the sturdy old seaman who figures In “Peregrine Pickel," she regards all limbs of the law as ground sharks, constantly on the outlook for prey. Two Cair Kriilex. Miss Nettie Moore, daughter of J. W. Moore, the north side grocer, and John G.
