Evidence Showing the Existence OF Plots to
Damage Farmers by Poisoning Live Stock.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
VINcENEEs, Nov. 4-The attempt to poison
all the cattle in the neighborhood of Bicknel,
Vigo township, this county. has created much
CONSERVATION among the farmers of that neigh
borhood, and the new developments indicate
that most unheard-of plot was concocted to
work injury to many good citizens. The facts
are as follows: AL out Sept. 26. while Mr.. and
Mrs. Mason hunting grapes in their wood
pasture, they discovered two small envelopes con-
tanning poison-one containing arsenic and the
other strychnine Near by was placed some salt
in several convenient places, so the stock could
get it, and had it not been for the timely discov-
erv, great deal Of harm might have been done.
Mr.. Mason gathered up some of the salt and had
it Analysed by G. S. Miller, prominent Vim
cennes chemist, who pronounced it poisoned.
Anonymous letters have been found in Mr..
Masons yard. of which the following is fair
yample:
Look out You are threatened heavy from
the folks up from the next house, up here. They
say if they can't git away with you one way,
they will another"
There was neither name nor date to this letter,
but it was, no doubt, written by friend of
Mr.. Mason, who took this method Of warning
aim. The unknown scoundre has already
caused the death of several cattle, while At the
came time hogs and sheep in that neighborhood
have been mysteriously shot and killed during
the nighttime. Mr. Mason. the citizen on whom
ali the weight of this vengeance is intended to
fall, is first-class farmer, and an upright man
with good farm, and who, it supposed
had no enemies whatever. committee has
been secretly formed to investigate the matter
TO the bottom.

Sentenced to State Prison for Life.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON Nov. 4-Luther Brown, rejected
lover, aged twenty three years. was to-day SEN
fenced to the State prison for life for the murder
Of Eli B. Cummns, rival sutton, in Adams
township, this county, on the night of April %
last. Brown had been paying his addresses to
Cynthia Ayrshire, young lady, and was re-
jected by her in favor of Cummins, who became
her sutton. On the night in question Miss Ayle-
shire gave party at her home, and among the
invitations extended was one to young Cummins,
who accepted and was present Brown, too was
in attendance, but without an invitation, SO Miss
Ayrshire says. The story had reached the
young lady that Brown had circulated reports in
the neishborhood rejecting upon her chastity
and when he entered the house she requested
him to Quit the premises at once. Brown denied
the charge that he had spoken disrespectfully of
the GIRL and accused Cummins of inventlng the
story and telling her, in order to prejudice
her against him. An alteration between Brown
and Cummins occurred at the house in the early
part of the evening over the matter. but, for The
time, it seemed to be settled. Brown, howey er,
instead of going home after being ordered OUT of
the house. went to the barn, about thirty yards
distant and when Cummins approached, on his
way home after the party. renewed the quarrel.
Some words were exchanged between them. and
Brown dealt Cummins blow upon the forehead
with stone the blow breaking both tablets of
the skull. The men then grappled. and Cummins
succeeded in getting Brown down. While upon
tie ground the latter drew his pocket knife and
stabbed Cummins to the heart besides inficting
four or five other gashes upon his person. Cum
minis lived but few minutes afterward. The
trial of the case has excited intense interest in
this county, and throughout the proceedings she
courtroom was crowded with spectators An
effort will be made by Browns attorneys to have
a new trial granted.
