A rough reception was given TO sope rob-
bers by Perry Elder, five miles from Peters

manded his money. Elder reolested the
men to wait until he could get it for them.
He arose from the floor wherfhe had been
resting and started toward theoed as though
/ he was going to be geneous enough to
make full surrender on frst demand. In

supposed he seized an a. that was placed

@ worthless dogs got in among John Eber-
hart's sheep last Saturday night, and did an
immense amount of damage, killing a num-
Der OF the most valuable, and cripplinp
many more, Mr.. Eherhart had some fine
blooded sheep, imported, and of course they
were the nrst 70 be seized upon by the dogs.
The loss OF these sheep is worth more than
all the dogs in tia state.

ebrated horse to this city some time during
the county iair.
Thomas White, an estimable citizen, living
not far from Battle Ground, accidentally
shot and killed himself last week. His gun
was probably discharged while he was
climbing the fence.
1t is really astonishing how the stockmen
rush to the Lafayette fair. With 500 stalls
already built and all applied for, the man
ayers are now compelled to go and build IOC
more. The Lafayette Journal says: Judging
week in advance, our impression is that
the coming fair will be the best and most
successful ever held in the county, or indeed
in the state, outside of the state iair, and in
many respects it Will stand ahead of the
latter.
The following festive description, from the
Lafayette Sunday Lsader, is too thrilling to
pass unnotlcsd. Score one for Star City
wives: The crowd increased, but the stall
wart six footer never "let up" for mo.
ment, but if possible more Vociferous, and
evincing a still greater anxiety for muss
He had evidently imbibsd too much "Lon.
don DOCK" as hisgait was unsteady, and
his breath as foul as ths scum on the canal.
Esq. Ten Eycke tried to pacify him, but
finding that entreaty did not allay the
mans desire for row, took another tack,
and threatened him with the vengeance
of the law. This had less effect than per.
suasion. "WalIz your constables up to me,
two at time, you big bellied cuss," fairly
shouted the six footer. "Come and see me,
somebody. Where's the man that dare
plant himself before me?" and placing him
self in q pugilistIc attitute be was in
the act of repeating the challenge, when a
little woman stepped ND and standing on
her tip toe, reached his ear and marched
him off exclaimlng: "Come home you
drunken vagabond." No more nervous OF
subdued individual ever walked the streets
of Lafayette than did this boaster, as hs
marched down Second street in the custody
OF his wife. All the jeers and jests of q
score OF boys couldn't tempt him to "blow'
any more.

WAYNE COUNTY.
A new paper has sprouted and taken roo
at Dublin. JAS A. Hsdley, editor. 1t is
bright sheet. The "salutatory" starts on
beautifully in good business style. Ala
fer its fair promises, it ends like all tn
rest with q nonsensical blow about indie
pendence and calling things b-evely by thei
right names.
