A Female

VIncennes Sun.
Mrs. Judge Gum, Of Sullivan, Ind, recently
passed through Vincennes, bound for Antelope
valley, Kansas, in charge of three carloads Of
cattle, which she was experimenting. This is
probably the first. instance on record where a
woman has undertaken a trip of this kind. She
rode in the freight.caboose. and took life as she
met it. She was accompanied by two large dogs.
She is an intelligent. refined, thrifty, goaheada-
tive woman, full of business, and will get to her
new home in Kansas on a shippers pass, the
same as any male stock-dealer. She stopped at
the Union Depot Hotel, but was not allowed to
take her dogs in the d~ining-room. Offended at
this, she would not desert the noble animals, and
she lunched in peace in the lunch-room. Her
trip will amount to ], 600 miles aboard a freight
train, and will take a week or more in transit.
Her family are in good circumstances, and she
adopted this plan of travel in order to save delay
and trouble. The train-men regarded it as some
what remarkable, and treated the good woman
with every courtesy and consideration. In Vim

LoGANsPoRT, Jan. 6-The case of the State
VS.. Policeman John Griffin, charged with killing
Noah Wilson ~fcolored) last August, is now ON
trial in the Circuit Court and is attracting great
interest in this part of the State. Griffin, after
placing Wilson in jail, emptied the contents of
his revolver in the prisoners body, shooting
from behi ID a barred door. The grand jury in
dicted him for manslaughter. The fact that E.
S.. Daniels, who was prosecuting attorney when
Griffin was indicted, appeared yesterday with
Judge Dykeman for the defense, is creating much
omment unfavorable to the attorney. Quite a
sensation was created in the trial yesterday
morning when Prosecuting attorney F'ansler
informed the court that he had the best of evil
dence for stating that the sheriff and attorneys
for the defense had "'fxed" the jury, and asked
that a special venire be ordered, and the jury
drawn in the presence of the court. He was
overruled, The case will be fought bitterly, and
the verdict of the jury anxiously awaited.
