one of John Crows heavy one horse express
BY the wagon the horse started of, where

Scott County Democrat: Last Thursday
night about 10 o'clock three men rode up to
the fence at the dwelling house of a man
known as Bussey Parks, in John
son township, near what is known
Parks to the door. One of the scoundrels
then engaged Mr.. p in conversation while
the other two entered the house and at
tempted a nameless offense on his wife.
They first offered her ten dollars to submit
to them, and then threatened her. Still re-
fusiDg, they dragged the poor women from
the bed, but her loud screams drove the
scoundrels away. IL is said some of them
are known, and little judicious hanging
would be healthy for the whole community.
Columbus Democrat: Last night the
house of Thomas Cummings, about four
miles northeast of Columbus, was entered by
thieves and money and notes taken to the
amount of 81 ,925. Mr.. Cummings was in
town in the evening for the purpose of de-
posting the notes and money, and after at
tending to some other business he went to
the bank and found it closed. He then went
home, and before going TO bed fastened all
the doors and windows OF the house, and
put the pocket book containing the money
and notes under his pillow. That is all he
knew until he awOke the next morning and
found the money gone. He thinks he must
have been chlorofOrmed, as he is not usually
q sound sleeper The property taken was
~ e.
and 1925 in money.

of ye festive newspaper man, lurked upon
the outskirts OF the city last night until all
respectable citizens were supposed to be in
bed He then stole into town and aroused
Deputy Clerk Tebbs and the pair meandered
to the clerks Office, and on account OF the
youth and bashIulness of the would be
groom, who is only seventy years of age, we
will not say that be took out a license to
marry Mrs. Sallie Hillman, of Wilmington,
aged sixty-nine years, two months and four
days, and that the ceremony will be per-
formed on Sunday next We have no words
of coincidence to offer to the twelve bereaved
children of Mr.. Lake, but hope they will
receive this affection in Christian spirit.
Fl Wayne Sentinel: Wednesday night
Judge Borden and c.. NJ. Comparet addressed
large democratic meeti lg at Cooks school
house. After the meeting they started
home IN a one seated buggy drawn by two
horses. The road was bad and the night
dark, and when about eight miles from the
city their horses took fright and ran away,
running into sditch and throwing the two
gentlemen over fence into piece of timber
land. The horses ran with part of the vehl-
Gle for about q mile, when they were stopped.
One Of the horses was fatally hurt and the
other was slightly bruised. The buggy
is total wreck. Judge Borden
and Mr.. Comparet are both portly
and, of course, were badly shaken up.
The judge is considerably bruised, and his
head and shoulders are severely cut. His
injuries are painful and will probably lay
him up for few days. They are not serious,
however. Mr.. Comparet's back seems to be
injured. but how badly it is Impossible as
yet to state.
