 of a Suspected Informer.
 INDIANAPOLIS, May 28.-Eight alleged moonshiners from the mountain fastness of Crawford county have been arrested, and those unable to furnish $1O, 900 bonds are now lying in jail at Leavenworth. The gang is charged with various villainies in addition to their moonshine crookedness About two months ago suspicion rested on man named MT. Sattsgaven whom they believed had given evidence to the grand jury of Crawford county. On the night of April 7th no less than forty desperadoes visited his house, broke the doors, and after brutally maltreating his wife and daughter they seized Sattsgaven, tied a rope around his feet and dragged him from the house across the brook to tree some dis tance away, to which they tied him and then whipped him with hickory switches After whipping him the brutal wretches dragged the man, lacerated, bruised and bleeding he was, over jagged rocks back to his house. Not having yet satisfied their vengeance they took a quantity of axle grease and smeared it over his head and face and followed up this indig- nity by holding his head for several minutes in feather bed which they had ripped open.
