MARSHAL STARR’S
BRIEF INTERVIEWS.
Clone Call—Kvprett Boame, of Cliineltown, Pays Greeneantle His
Usual Pleasant Visit.
The Democrat has freely eriiicised some of Marshal Starr's official acts, hut has never charged that he lacked couraice. He gave an exhibition of his nerve Sunday afternoon when he closed in on a man who was firing at him witli a revolver at a distance of a few paces. He had left his own gun at home in the bureau drawer with his tobacco, but had his rabbit’s foot with
him and came off lucky.
Everett Bourne, of Coatsville, a mild mannered and gentlemanly young fellow when sober, but a dangerous demon when drunk, again visited South Greeucastle on Sunday. He paid his respects to tiie Four Hundred of Keightleytown, made things hum wherever lie called and terrorized the elite by firing off his revolver. Marshal Starr happened along in the afternoon and attempted to arrest Bourne, whom he met on the common opposite
Charley hueteke’s bakery.
Bourne backed off exclaiming " you, if you try to arrest me I’ll kill you I” Starr ran in on the desperado, trying to get within striking distance of him with his cane. Bourne fired three shots rapidly, one of tlie bullets striking Starr in the left hip. It passed through his heavy overcoat and clothing, glanced off and raised a black bruise over the groin larger than a man’s hand. Although pursued by a posse of citizens and Officers Donnohue and Starr far into tbe country. Bourne got a good start and thus effected his escape. He is still at large. It will be remembered that only a short time ago it required the entire police force, part of the fire department, an omnibiiaaud some of the colored troops to land Bourne in jail, who had raised a row at Die Vaudalia depot. He is a terror. A Big Time at »toe Wickiup. The Jicarilla Apaches of Otoe Tribe of Red men are a soft-spoken set of warriors when they wash off their war paint and entertain their lady and gentlemen friends at their receptions.

A Church-Goer: "Yes, we had a very good pastor at our church, which is located not more than a thousand miles from Putnam county, but his duties as an active member of an A. P. A. lodge at Lafayette took up so much of his time he neglected his church work. We Had to let him go."

Optspokkv Repurucan: "Say we've been Treated and Cliased already and I'll be confound if we want to be Sweenied this year. Tlial's the size of the Case ex actly, However, I iiear that W. Frank Norton, the Ileinosiheiies of the Bartholomew county Oar, means to pluck the republican nomination for Congress if hustling will get in. On account of having resided in Greeneaslle and being a graduate of PePauw he expects to cut a big caper with the Putnam delegation. If Case has to give way after a few ballots.

Of l.oral Interest to (ireenraslilians— They Would Like to Know If the fruit is all killed ? If that North End tunnel isn't just the thing and now's the time to give work to the unemployed ? If It would not be a good thing for the city to own Its own electric light plant ? If Councilman Blake has designs on the county now that his services have been dispensed with in the city council ? When the new Christian church will he
built?
If the stock ordinance Is enforced without fear, favor or affection, and If not why not? Why Councilman Handel’s reform ordinances were not adopted ? If “our Cliawley," who wants to go to Congress, would need a chaperon or duenna when at Washington as badly as "Little Willie” of Kentucky? What councilman will champion the demand for a city market house by the unem-
ployed
If a financial exhibit wouldn’t he of interest to the city taxpayers at tills time ? If It wouldn't be a good idea to change April 14 from "convention” to “all fools'
day ?"
If the school hoard will make some needed changes in the city schools? Why Greeucastle Is without a telephone exchange? If another building boom is in store for Ureancastle this year? If the college chapter houses are truly moral and only frequented by the truly good? If the times do not demand a union of all parties in opposition to the city ring? If Postmaster Neff's second administration will be distinguished by the inauguration of the free delivery system in Greeucastle?
