Trial Of Indians.

Last Monday three Indians were ar
raigned before Justice Bishop On the
charge of having murdered Geo. Cog

tor straight forward testimony it could
not be beat. elimination and recrn-

appear to care SO much who it was that
killed Coggan as to ascertain which In
dian made the first confession. Maj.
Cornoyer was present, and he seemed to
lose all confidence in good Indians, and
concluded, like all the balance who
were present, that nearly all the Una
tilas and Columbus were engaged in
the unpleasan:ness. We have always

most acute lawyer cannot overcome.
He has done himself honor and public
opinion cannot award him too much
praise. The Indians upon trial confess
ed to their participation in the great
crime of murder, always coupling their
statements with the question: was
the first Indian to blow on US? This
matter has been in the hands of Sheriff
Sperry and Majors Throckmorton and
Cornoyer for long time and many be-

will try and eradicate that thought il
you see fit to publish my jottings.
In this part of Indiana harvest has
just commenced. Wheat will be a fair
crop Notwithstanding the fly, frost and
rust, which one month ago was thought
by many had ruined it. Oats and grass
are heading out and bid fair for q good
crop. Corn is very backward. Spring
opened early, but it has been 50 cold that
corn has grown very slowly till within .
few days past. We have had just about
rain enough to keep the soil in good,
tillable condition until now. To-day it
il raining hard and bids fair to give US
an overflow. Fruit prospects good for
apples, pears and all ANAL fruits. The
black berry crop will be abundant.
Health generally good. Produce market
rather dull. Hay, "a. to $5. per ton;
corn, IS cts; oats, 80 cts; wheat, 81 fat
cattle, 81 on foot; hogs, q gross; butter
8 cts. eggs, 6 cts. per dozen.
Politics somewhat lively and . little
exciting. Our Republican State Con-
vention came Of, and good ticket was
nominated on q sound platform. We
think we can carry the State ticket and
the Legislature without doubt. In
making inquiry - to the condition of
the Republican party, in different parts
Of the State, the reply generally is, the
Potter revolutiopists have united US, and
the party is in better working order than
in 1876 when Tilden's "barrel O. money"
passed through the State. l predict that
many Democrats will either vote the
Republican ticket next fall or not vote
at all.
It is not UNCOMMON to hear from
stauneh and influential Democrats that
Potter and his revolutionary clique ought
to be hung. No really honest thinking
man here but admits that .he adherents
of the Potter resolution had in view the
Of the President and will be
very likely to attempt it if they can
carry the next Congress. Such an at
tempt would be revolution and the
result the stagnation Of business and
hard times.
Our State convention spoke plainly to
these disturhers Of the peace and the
people ought to speak still more plainly
1t the ballot box next fall. 4 littls
