DRIVEN INTO THE STORM
A Foraker Woman Driven Into the Storm
of Last Saturday Night.

One of the saddest pictures Of utter desc
lation that has come to our knowledge was
presented last Saturday night in the effort,
of a poor forsaken wanderer from the paths
Of virtue, who gives her name as LAME
Russell, but whose real name is Calkins, to
gain shelter where she might remain long
enough to give birth to child. Up to
Saturday evening she had taken shelter in
a certain "house," but had some difficulty
with the landlady and decided to seek 9TH
er lodgings. Notwithstanding the darkness
of the night and the ferceness of the raging
storm, she started che knew not whittier,
the pains of approaching childbirth rem
dering her at times almost wild with dele
rum. She wandered around from door to
door, imploring shelter for the sake of her
unborn child. But her heartrending condi-
ton and piteous cries for assistance were. un-
hseded, until she applied to Fannie Mat
tingly, the keeper Of house of ill flame
on South Main street, who kindly put her
to bed and sent for q physician. In fifteen
minutes after the doctors arrival the child
was born, but only lived a few minutes
Although an outcast from society and
lewd woman. this kindly act on the part Of
Fannie Mattingly d~serves praise, and she
will be remembered for this humane deed.
LAME Calkins is only IL years of age
She came to this city from Atchison about
a month ago. she could not be induced to
relate her history, further than that she
had been seduced under promise of mar
rage. but declined to give the name of her
betrayer.
The funeral of the late A. w. Mouat,
from the residence of the family, on Ottawa
street, Yesterday morning. was well attend
ed. Nearly all the printers in the city
we're present, and the Odd Fellows, in rega-
liza. turned out in considerable numbers.
The services At the house were conducted
BY the Rev. E. L. Sanburn, of the Free
Congregational church. His remarks, thouh
brief, were full of sympathy and consolation
for the bereaved, and his prayer Was ear
nest and fervent. At the grave, the beauti-
fuI and impressive Odd Fellows ceremony
was conducted BY Grand Secretary s. F.
Burdest, As chaplain. Nearly all who at
tended the services at the house, followed
the remains to Mount Muncie.
Mr.. Mouat died of . slow and lingering
disease, and for many months past had been
coo6red to his house, during all of which
time the printers of HE TINES Office cared
for him, attending in every way practicable.
But consumption fastened itself upon him,
and for the last three months his death has
been looked forward to As merely question
of time. The "boys" did everything that
could be done to relieve the burden IF the
long days. and weeks of his confinement
they showed him every kindness that could
| be extended to = brother, and feel that in
his death they have lost one Of the best,
most genial, undetermined and kind-hearted
Of the maternity. Nay the sod rest lightly
mon him.

Quite an interesting arbitration occurred asst
Tuesday in the Grand Jury room of the Court
House. The suit was on an action brought by
David Lewis against Cyrus Larrish, John Dilt2,
and Valentine Stout, for killing pet deer. 1t
seems hat the defendants also had n deer with
bell on its neck, which had been running at
large, and had MOI been seen for some time.
When they discovered Il beiled deer running
in the creek, they supposed it to be their own,
and shot it. Upon examination, they found they
were mistaken, and knowing Mr.. Lewis had a
deer, they went to him with the bell, which he
identified and they delivered the carcass to him
and he sold il for twelve dollars. The deer was
great pet, and could be led about with a string.
Mr.. Lewis testified that he could call il to him
from as great distance as he could hear the
| bell. L. L. Orvis Esq. was counsel for plain
tiff and r. f. & j. NJ. Clark, Esqs, were for
defendants. Alessrs. Lutz Funk and l.. f.
| Waller arbitrators awarded twenty dollars to
the plaintiff, including the twelve dollars for
which he sold it, making the balance due eight
dollars. The costs of the suit will be heavy,
there being eighteen or twenty witnesses, most
of them coming from sixteen to twenty miles

ton, the width being iye-ninths Of the length
The "union,' or blue field, is in length of one
third the length of the flag, and extends il
width to the lower edge of the fourth red stripe
from the top. There are thirteen stripes, be
ginning and ending with red. The garrison
flag Is the only one usually taken as the stand
