The First Quarter of 80 not Passed
and Indianapolis Scores Three
Murders.
The first act in the third bloody drama
enacted in Indianapolis in the last two
months, took place last Friday evening the
10Th inst, at a restaurant, No. 303 f.
Washington street, kept by Mrs. Mead.
The principal actors were u Imam f.
Reed, a conductor on the Belt railroad,
the murdered man, and VIM. McDougal
a Bee line conductor, the murderer 1t
seems that during Friday morning Reed,
accompanied by William Lyons and
Thomas Duty, brakemen, entered the
restaurant for the avowed purpose OF get
under the influence of li9our.
McDOugal was in the restaurant at the
time and soon became involved in quar-
rel with Reed and his party. From this
poirt the evidence is somewhat confusing
but it is claimed that Reed abused Nc
Dougall considerably without a cause. Ii
is also claimed that McDougal struck Reed
with heavy weight and with a chair
Reed after being knocked down got uI
and walked to his home, distance o
| several squares. He went to bed, soon be
came unconscious and remained in tina
condition up to the time OF his death which
took place Saturday night.
| There was scalp wound on the side o
his head, and the skull was fractured nea
the base. The verdict of the coroners jur,
| is to the effect that Reed came to hi
death from the effects of blow on tn
head given by McDougal.

ALMOST A HOMICIDE.
Reuben Tone Strikes His Wife in the
Head With Stick of Wood, and
Fractures Her Skull.

About half past 8 o'clock last Sunday
afternoon, quarrel occurred between
Reuben Tone and his wife Fannie (colored /,
which resulted in Tone striking his wife
a severe blow on the head with billet of
wood, telling her to the ground and frac-
turing her skull. Immediately after the
occurrence. Tone left his home on Harrison
street, and went to the East-End, where
he was arrested by Officers Reed and
Barker, who were on the lookout for him
The prisoner stated that he objected to
his wife renting her barb 'rshop, on Engl sh
avenu and Harrison street but that she
told him she would do as she pleased
about the matter. as it was her own pro-
perty. As the quarrel became warm, Tone
became very much excited, and picked up
stick, and, as he says, "struck her a
leetle slap" He claims that Mrs. Tone
first picked up the stick, and that he
wrenched it from her hand.
Soon after the occurrence DIR. w. II.
Thomas was called to dress the wound.
He found that the skull was fractured,
and thought that she might recover. al
though the injuries were of serious ma.
ture. She was removed to the hospital

Political Notes.

So far as we have been able to learn,
there will be six colored delegates TO the
State convention. They should do Streight
work in the convention.
One more week and the great agony will
be over Republicans need have no fears
OF the results, however, for there is no
flimsey material in the field
Colored men should attend the primar-
les. to man, next Friday evening, and
see to it that they secure proper represen-
tation on the delegations to the conven-
ton.
There will be very preceptible advance
in the price of states after next Friday
evening, owing to the great number OF
these cherished relics of antiquity which
will doubtless be broken into 'smithera-
shuns' on that evening. LET 'em be
busted
The convention of next Saturday will at
least decide whether the colored people
will be represented on the Legislative
ticket, if it does not decide whether we
are to have the representative or not.
But give US the man on the ticket, and the
other fellow will be forthcoming.
tits generally believed that the man
who gets the nomination for sheriff will
have to beat ID. w. Grubbs. Dan Grubbs
would fit the Office exactly, he would

turning-board will be needed to count
the votes.
