IN BAD CoNDITIoN.-Th fence around
the public burying ground at this place
falls down upon the slightest provocation,
and unless soon repaired that sacred
place will be turned into cattle pasture.
New posts are required all around. No
doubt sufficient money can be raised to
put the fence in good condition, if some
enterprising citizen will only take the
matter in hand. Try it, somebody.

PIrING. Last Wednesday afternoon
we marched up Oregon Gulch Mountain
and then marched down again. The
Weavervlle d. & II. NJ. Co. are running
about two hundred inches OF water thro'
Little Giant into the Wand Mine. This
is a very small head, and Superintendent
George says he don't propose to entertain
anybody with the style of mining now
carried on. Still it is an improvement on
the way Jimmy Ward worked the same
claim. a great deal of dirt is being run
of-mostly light top stuff, the water be-
ing to little to carry away the large and
heavy rocks. Work on the reservoir has
been resumed, and it will be pushed rap
idly to completion. The tunnel for the
culvert is being run night and day. The
ditch leaks considerably, not more than
half the water which is turned in at the
head coming through.

INFIDELIIY, GRIEF AND sUICIDE-CRIME IN
HENDRICKS COUNTY.
The Danville Indianian gives full account
of an affair which has been Swallowed in the
ocal columns of the Sentinel, but not fully
explained. In this instance the husband
was the party wronged. The most disgrace
full and criminal affair that has happened in
Hendricks county since we have been a resi-
dent of this region transpired near North
Salem, Eel river township, during the past
two weeks. The wife of William Owens, a
prosperous farmer living about one mile and
a half west of North Salem, had for some
time previous held Illicit intercourse with
a lecherous villain called "Dock" Miller,
whose wife abandoned him about a
year ago on account of his general
bestial conduct. and he swOre that he would
have revenge by stealing another mans
wife. At last Mrs. Owens informed her hus-
band that she had transferred whatever af-
fections she had ever felt for him to the gay
and FESTIVE grass-widower Miller, and that
on the ID inst. she would sly away on the
wings of love" with the free and easy Mil
Ter. Owens thereupon gently demonstrated
with her instead of putting head on the

nelghbors OF the impending elopeInent, who
also entreated her to remain with her
husband: but the Hsoft nothipps, of
on her, and their pleadings proved futile.
Tuesday, June 2, the guilty pair vanished,
the woman leaving child two or three
years old with its father, saying she couldn't
bear to have anything near her which had
Ovens blood in it, and intimatiDg that he
had no proprietary interest in the genera
ton yet unborn, " but inevitable. He felt
ut first as though she only intended to try
mis- love, and not finally give pail hope of
ever seeing her again until last Tuesday
evening, when he received letter from her,
post-marked at indianapolis, in which she
abused and aggravated him to desperation.
| About o'clock on Friday morn
ing last the body of William Owens was dis
covered suspended by the neck from the
| limb of a tree twenty feet from the ground,
and life was perfectly extinct. An inquest
was held over the remains by Justice
Fleece, and a verdict of suicide was rem
dered, the unfortunate man having hanged
himself while laboring under alteration OF
mind, caused by the cruel desertion of his
wife. Mr.. Owens was in the prime of life in
good circumstances, respected by all who
knew him, and would have fallen heir tC

buried on Saturday with Masonic honors
It was reported that the wife and her para

She was still easy at about ~ o'clOcA yesse'-
day morning, when DR.. p. s. Conner, OF the

elaborate treatment. DR.. Conner found ner
injury to consist of fracture OF the rlght
shoulder her only other hurts being an
ugly confusion of the right eye, and slight
abrasion of the skin about the nose, on the
same side of the face. Tine injured shoulder
was extremely painful TO the touch, the
woman shrieking in the most sgonizing
manner IL the doctor but Land his finger upon
IL. To render the necessary operation as
easy as possible, the doctor administered

to her, on folded towel. She took it very
quietly, but had not been under the influence
half minute when her pulse stopped, and
she was CORPSE. She expired with scarcely
culver, and it was doubtful then whether
the chloroform, or injuries hitherto undis-
covered, had been the fatal cause. Coroner
Maley was notified. and commissioned Drs.
Dunlap and Bramble 10 make post mOrtem
examination of the body, which they did in
the evening. All the organs were found to
be in their normal condition, the only injury
70 the body being that OF the shoulder, which
was quite severe, being fracture of the
anatomical neck of the humerus. That OF
itself could not produce death. 1t was the
chloroform, however skillfully administered,
that did the business. The woman bad
been hard drinker, and the reaction eonse-
quent on the dying out of the effects OF her
last rotations had produced extreme nerv-
Gus exhaustion. In that condition the adj
ministratiOn of the anesthetic closed and
stopped the heart forever. Not drop OF
blood was found in that organ. These are
the facts in the case as far as developed, but
some additional light may possibly be
thrown on the case at the Coroner's inquest
to-day. The husband was arrested and
held in custody yesterday, some believing
that he had thrown his wife down stairs ia
quarrel. Such can hardly have been the
case, however, as the other inmates of the
house say there was no quarrel between
them, and Honlshsn was too drunk to stand
up when the police found him soon after
the accident. Mrs. HOnlahan was about
fifty years Of age.
