On last Saturday night A. NJ. Crit
tenden living in the South part Of the
county, about four miles from Kirk
Evansville, hearing noise in his crib,
took his gun and went To see what il
was about. He found man in his
crib helping himself to corn, and the
fellow refusing to stop when asked to,
he fired upon him, which brought him
To halt. He then found that there
were two of them, Berry Justice and
Henry Bryant. Upon finding that
there were two of them, Mr.. Critten-
den returned to the house Ia get his
rifle, but on his return Bryant had
taken leg bail, and he did not get him,
but Justice he found was 40 badly
wounded that be could not get away.
We learn that his wounds are severe
though not serious. We will venture
tie assertion that if he does get well he
will not trouble Al. Crittenden's crib
again, In fact We believe AIS corn i
safe from now on from all depredators.

Last Thursday, IA man named Beal,
who came here Oh train from Bowl
ing Green, left his four children at the
depot and has not since been heard of
The two oldest of the children are girls,
one about Is, named Lula, the other
about named Laura. The other two
are boys aged respectively : and >. the
older one named Henry. The children
state that their father on leaving told
them to go to Mrs. J. NJ. Bealrs, where
they had been fed the day before, and
stay till he should return on Sunday.
They went to the Forst House and ask
ed to be taken in. They were in the
most pitiable condition and Mr.. Bowl
ing took them i'm and fed them and
our good citizens promptly came fos-
ward and took charge of them. Lula
the oldest, was taken by Mr.. J. NJ. Me-
Cutchen; the other girl, Laura by Mr..
}. Neasom; the boy, Henry by w. F.
Browder, and the little kid was cared for
by Mr.. &. w. Courts, who placed him
in charge of Mrs. Campbell. Beal is
evidently crank or scoundrel who, is
willing TO leave his children to starve
The children say their mother is dead
and they came from IA farm 10 miles
from Bowling Green, and had started
to South Union to join the Shakers.-
