ONE NIGHT IN JAIL.

Bill Hicks Arrested on Suspicion Yes terday, Triumphantly ReleasedThis Morning-

From Monday's Daily.

Bill Hicks was arrayed in his Sunday best yesterday. He carried a cane, smoked a light cigar and really looked too awfully too when Henry Cravens stepped up to him, handled his watch chain, and then inked: "Where did you get this chain -I stole it" was the swe reply.

The conversation took place on Main street between Fourth and Fifth. Cravens, who lives on north Thirteenth-and-a-half street, was .ob'*ed, as he thought, last Thursday night, of his watch and chain. A girl was arrested for the theft on Friday, but as nothing could be proven against her she was released. So Cravens was still on the lookout for his property. Of course it was cruel to think for an instaot that so distinguished a personage as William Hicks, who* motives have never been questioned and whose conduct in the recent prosecution of Mr. Foster has provoked the admiration it deserved, would take it or had it and yet he saw no other alternative than to believe his eye for that watch chain corresponded in every particular to the on* that was no longer his. Subsequently Mr. Cravens' brother-in-law, Mr. Welsh, identified the chain and there was nothing to do but to take Mr. HicKS, his chain and his cigar, to police headquarters, which was, we are pained to say, done.

Then Chief of Police Vandcver began to question Mr. Hicks as to the identity of hi* chain, and was told that he had bought it from Louis Rosenburg and had paid fifty cemsforit. Here was agleam of sunlight. Mr. Rosenburg was sent fur and came over in double quick time, being assured that grave importance was at'ached to his movements from the moment he was notified. Mr. Hicks faced Mr. Rosenburg aturl said he had bought the chain from him and Mr. Rosenburu faced Mr. Hicks and said he hadn't ft was, of course, exceedingly trying to Mr. Hicks to have his word disputed, and the inu.-cles of his fnce sensitively twitched when he was told politely that he was a liar. Heiry Tate was sent for at Mr. Hicks' solicitation, as Mr. Tate knew the chain, but when Mr. Tate came it turned out that be didn't. Sheriff Stepp, to whom Mr. Hicks also appealed, didn't know it either, and then Chief Vandevcr, who had acted very cautiously throughout ihe whole proceeding, turned over tinprisoner into the custody of the sheriff and he was locked up and remained there all night. So ended the first act.

Now comes the second and final act Mr. Cravens came Hp town this morning and, producing a watch and chain, informed the officials that he had found the lost property at his heme last evening. The two chains were then compaied and were found to closely resemble each other Prosecution in the case was thereupon dismissed and Mr. Bill Hicks, swelling with pride, with cigar, cane and everything else, walked torth into the coo), fresh air a free citizen ot this great Republic of ours—the noblest roamihg Africau of them all

Political Announcements.

Dr. A. J. Humphrey, of Fontanct, Nevins township, is announced in today's GAZETTE as a candidate for Representative to the state legislature. The dcctor is a yonng man of ability, as active political worker, at present meirber from Nevins of tne Democratic Central committee, and will make a strong race if nominated, no matter how able and popular an opponent may be pitied against him. There would be a peculiar fitners in his nomination, as the last Representative elected, a Republican, was from Nevins, and it would be specially gratifying that a Democrat should be selected fiom the same township to help undo the miserable mass of legislative work put through by that notoriously memorable body.

In this issue of the GAZETTE will be found the announcement of Centenary A. Ray for nomination as Republican candidate for the office of county treasimr. Mr. Ray is the present incumbcnt of the office, in the management of which he has given entire satisfactiou and while we do cot believe that any Republican will be able to carry the coming county election, still that par'y could not select a better man nor stronger candidate to make the race. Mr. Ray is a native of Riley township and is held in high favor by his constituency, not only there but throughout ibec- unty. and is in fact a thoroughly good man in every way.

W. C. Allen announces his name in another column as a candidate for County Recorder subject to the decision of the Republican nominating conven'ion. Mr. Allen is an old resident of Terre Haute, having lived here for the past seventeen years. He has always been an active worker tor his party though this is the first time his friends have ever pressed him to take an office. He stands well in thi* community not enly with Republicans but with citizens generally and would undoubtedly run abreast of his ticket.

Honest John Cleary aunounces himself as a candidate for Sheriff to-day. John would run if nominated like an antelope, and if elected, no transgressor of the law could kill him as he has shown that he is bomb proof.

In the Banner of last Saturday appeared an article the translation of which is as follows: "Mr. George W. Carico announces himself in our to-day's issue a* a candidate for Sheriff. Mr. Carico has filled the office two terms, having been elected in 1874 and 1876, has filled it to the entire satisfaction of everyone, and his chances in the Democratic convention therefore must be very good. The times when in city and township elections the members of a party voted the '"ticket, the whole ticket and Bothitig but the ticket" are past, and to-day they will oi'ly vote for th«i mnn. Mr. Carico is a good man, competent for the office, very popular, and especially among Germans. His nomination by the Democrats seems to be t-ure, and therefore we would advise the Republicans to bring out their very best man,.because Carico is hard to beat."

A Family FightFrom Monday's Daily

Harry Norton and Frank Norton on the one side and James Ilorsely on the other fought at Dan. Crowe's old saloon, on Third street, Saturday afternoon. Harry Norton received a curon the breast from a small kuife.

Ilorsely filed complaints for assault against the two brothers—one before Justice Lockman and another beiore Justice Steinmehl. Wm. HoreeJy filed a complaint before Justicc fockn.an against Joseph Scherle or the larceny ot one chisel and two griddle pans In fact, the Horselys and 'lie N'irtoiis played an important part in t'.ie Wall street courts this naorning.

Hoberg, Root & Co., after breakfast this morning, and received the goods on the ten o'clock train

Drummers at Church

About, thirty travelling men attendrd divine service ot Asbury church yesterday moiuing at an invitation of the minister, Rev. J. W Greene.

In lad iana there are 1,500 travelling men and in the United States 180,000. The former represent a capital of seventy'five million dollars and the latter a capital of nine billion dollars. Mr. Greene spoke ior nearly an hour.

Dismissed by the State.

The Vanetta case fr.r shooting Samuel Ferrand, came up before Justice Cookerly this morning. Carlton & Lamb, at torneys for Vanetta, announced that the aefendant was ready to go to trial. The State by Kelley and Foley proposed to continue the casp, which was opposed by defendant's attorneys, and the motion to continue was overruled by the Justice. The State's Attorney then jismissed the case. A large number of witnesses were present from Battlerow and they were all glad to get back to their corn planting. It is expected that nothing further will be done with the case, unless the grand jury finds an indictment.
