Last Saturday, April Goth, the day
before Easter, ID. p. Closer found
several stalks OF rye that were head
ed out. The rye is growing on his
Stillwell Prairie farm, and it is re-
markable in that it is several weeks
further advanced than is usual at
this time of the year. 1t probably
has no parallel in the history of the
country.-LdPorte Argus.
A "wild man" was captured in
Monroe township, last Tuesday morn
ing. He roamed about the neighbor-
hood all day, entirely nude, except a
blue ribbon tied around his neck,
visiting country homes and asking
for something to eat. The enraged
citizens turned out en- masse and
captured him. He showed fight at
first, but was soon secured and dress
ed in suitable clothing. The fellow
gave his name. and said he resided at
Defiance, Ohio. He said he had ia
ken off his clothes to battle. After
the bath it seems he forgot to put
them on. He was brought to town
in spring wagon, and turned over
to Sheriff Freeman, who took him to
the county asylum.-KokomO Tri-

saloon, and the news quickly spread
that Rolla Martin had shot and woun-
ded Jerome administer. Inquiry de-
veloped the following facts: Martin
had been quarreling with a man
named Baker, who had drawn a chair
upon him. By way of intimidation,
Martin drew a revolver, without in
tending, he claims, to use it, except
in self-defence. But, as he was quite
drunk and not in q condition to ham
die dangerous weapon with care, it
was thought best to disarm him. In
the struggle the pistol exploded, the
pail taking effect in the back of Ed
minister's neck, infiicting severe
but not deadly wound. Martin was
arrested and confined in Jail until
Monday, when he was tried and ac-
quilted before Justice Stradley, 1t ap-
peared that the shooting of Edminis-
ter was purely accidental. The lat
