A Terrific Fight.

The returns are just coming in from a des-
perate free-for-all fight which took place in
the vicinity of Valley Mills a day or two ago.
1t seems that hopeful scions of the families of
jeremiah Poe and William Palmer became in
volved in quarrel, in which Mrs. Palmer inter-
fered, when Poe assaulted both her and her
boy. When Mr.. Palmer came home he went
over to see Poe to effect compromise, and
was hit over the head with a heavy
board. and badly cut A lateral development of
the row was a fight between Miles Shelly and
James T. Poe, son of his father, in which the
latter terribly cut about the head and face
with ''brass knucks." All the participants were

for the same offense, and v. b, Kinney, another
neighbor $l2,70 for carrying concealed weap-
Poe, jr., also brought suit for 81 900 dam
ages against Shelly. 1t was probably the worst
disfigured crowd ever seen in courtroom, and
the very appropriate suggestion was made that
they all be sent to the hospital. 1t was intimat-
ed that the war was not yet over, and Squire
Woodland minated that the belliRerent families

An Alarming but Unfounded Rumor.

AT an early hour yesterday morning the Chi
cago papers telegraphed their correspondents
here asking for the fullest particulars regarding
the existence of cholera in this city and vicinity
Vigorous "hustling" on the part of the local re-
porters failed to reveal any Indications of the
dread disease. The mystery was solved yester-
day by the fact being made known that on
Thursday afternoon the following dispatch was
brought into the Western Union office here by
boy and prepaid:
ITO Fowler Co., Chicago:
"Three cases of cholera reported here. Two
fatal. Dir. E. 8. ELDER"
The dispatch was an outrageous forgery, and
there is no such firm in Chicago as Fowler & Co.
1t is thought that probably the dispatch was
sent to influence the market. DIR. Elder says
that there are not only cases of cholera IN
this vicinity, but he thinks there is none in

L, and Placed in Circle Park.

The executive committee of the Morton MOnu-
mental Association met at Postmaster Wild
mdn's room yesterday afternoon. There were
present Conrad Baker, James A. Wildman, John
Coburn, W. R. Holloway and Cyrus T, Nixon,
Judge Martindale being out of the city. The re-
port of the secretary showed that the statue is
to cost $500, and that $4,000 of that money
had already been paid to Franklin Simmons, the
artist, and that the remaining $500 is to be
paid on the delivery of the statue in this city.
From letters received from Mr.. Simmons, 1t is
expected that the statue will be delivered in In
dianapo!is not later than Oct. 1, as 1t has al
ready been shipped from Munich, where it was
cast in bronze.
The statement of Theodore P. Haughey. show
ing that there was $1,so0 in the treasury, was
read.
1t was estimated that it would require $4,000
in addition to the sum now in hands to pay for
the granite pedestal the balance on the statue
and The expense of erecting the same. This sum
must be raised before October l, and Mr.. Nixon,
the financial agent, was instructed to visit the
various counties where the committees have not
yet completed their work, and urge them to do
so and pay the money into the treasury as rap
idly as it is collected.
Mr.. Nixon stated that 1t seemed 70 be the al
most unanimous desire on the part of the donors
that the statue should be placed in the Circle
Park, and on motion of ]. A. Wildman, it was
ordered that the wishes of the subscribers be
complied WITH and that the statue be placed in
the center of the Circle Park, with the face to
the south.
The secretary was Instructed to confer with
Mr.. W. M. French, who was recently appointed
to canvass Indianapolis and Marion county
and urge him co enter upon the work of raising
this county's proportion of the balance at once.
Mr.. Nixon was directed to prepare stand in

he didn't play, and about the same time began
to feel deathly sick. He didn't go up stairs,

THE GAMBLERS MUST GO.
A Set of Familiar Faces Again Be-
fore His Honor.
A Rural Druggists Alleged Experience with
the Wachstetter- Mccarthy Crowd
Two Short Hours in Jail.

Day before yesterday, along some time in the
afternoon, a balny sou'west zephyr bore to the
ears of Superintendent of Police Robbins the
faint, far-away rattle OF poker chips. The Super
intendent had no difficulty III locating the rattle,
faint it was, in Billy McCarthy's rooms, on
the second floor of Pamer's block, opposite the
Grand Hotel, and, 1anked by Officers Thrush
and Henry, he hied him to that quarter. The
place has been gambling-room for years. but
since the edict went forth in May against gam
bling the room has borne the appearance of a
innocent dorntory, containing two beds, os-
tensibly occupied by Billy Mccarthy and Jack
Landers, the latter bartender for Gottlieb
Wachstetter. 1t was 445 p NJ. day before yes
terday when the officers came in upon this little
game of poker, ante all the way from ten to fifty
cents, and few minutes later the staton-house
slate bore these names: VIM. Mccarthy, Hogan
Mccarthy, Al. Brown, A. J. Davis, Thomas
Johnston.
FICTITIOUS NAMES.
Two of these-perhaps three-are fictitious
names; Two of them doing service for a couple of
veally ruralists who had been enticed into the
game None OF the players took lodgings at the
station-house, each leaving S25 as bail. Yester-
day morning they were arraigned before Mayor
Grubbs, and the visitors from the country were
fined $l5 each. Major Gordon appeared at
torney for the McCartys Billy pleaded guilty,
whereupon the mayor fined him $25 and added
ten days Imprisonment in jail. 1--WE will ap-
peal" said the Major. "You can do So" said his
Honor, "but the defendant will be serving out
his days in the meantime" Mayor Grubbs, ad-
dressing the police, said that he considered the
landlord who rented his property for gaming
purposes ought to he attended to. There was
law on that subject, and he thought the police
ought to enforce it.
LooKER-oN IN VIENNA.
When Hogan McCarty's case was called he ex-
planned TO the Mayor that he was not there as a
player and had not handled a card. He had
been i'll for several days and was now ILL., The
Mayor said that the fact he knew 1t to be a
gambling house was sufficient. He had no bust
mesa to be there. The court then released him
upon a commitment which calls for $25 and
thirty days Imprisonment If he is again caught

play. Hogan, in cOuvarsatiOn with the reporter

again. Heis young man of good education,
