Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
DANvMLE, April 25-An ARRAY occurred here
last night between 10 and IL o'clock, which will
no doubt result in the death Of of the partic-
ipants. A crowd of students, on returning from
an entertainment given at the college building,
were engaging in boyish sport, in which hat
was lost While searching for the lost hat the
students were approached by q crowd of night
loafers, who proposed to assist in the search.
The search being continued for some time in
vain, the boys dispersed. Shortly afterward
several of the students met on the street. and
decided to secure lantern and continue
the search. During the effort to
find the hat they were again
again approached by the same crowd Of boys,
who proposed to find the hat If the loser would
give them twenty five cents, which proposition
was declined The students separated from the
others. but shortly afterward met again in
another part Of town. few words in regard to
the lost hat were passed, when a fight ensued be-
tween Terry O'Donald and J. r. Miller. A few
blows were struck, when Miller. thinking ODoE-
aid was striking at him with knife. began to
retreat, but was followed by ODonald. until
Miller drew q revolver from his pocket and shot
at O'Donald the ball striking him about the
center of the forehead. The physicians say the
wound is fatal.
j. r. Miller is ayoung lad, about sixteen years
DID, and is the son of John G. Miller, of Elaska,
Morgan county. Young Miller came here about
a month ago, TO attend the Normal Miller i'm
medately after the shooting, summoned a ply
stefan to wait upon ODonald, and then presented
himself at the Jail and surrendered himself

-:POETRY:-
A PLAINyTRUTH.

One truth t'were we'll that all should

In public places high and low,
A truth to which the brightest mind
NAV be occasionally blind;
Above all theory aud practice
Tbis solid and controlling fact Is
No nan Is bigger Than his party.
Vain praise may swell the stoutest
head,
The stubborn mule is often led;
Our best intentions go astray
When fogs and iuists obscure the way
And men who find themselves mis-
taken
AT last TO this great truth awaken;
No man is bigger Uan his party.
This fact is sure when all is done,
Many are wiser far than one;
Our friends, ms everybody knows,
Give safer counsel than our foes,
And he who fails his friends disdain-
ing,
VIII find at last this truth remaining'
No man is bigger hdn his party.
No stream, however freely fed,
Can rise above the fountain head,
Nor will its flow continue long
Unless the source is full and strong;
And therefore every new November
Should bid us all this truth reinem'

Holding his own convictions fast,

HOW A VETERAN WON

Removals from Office that places
might be provided for jackson men
were the order of the day, hut Press
ideut Jackson vas not disposed to
displace any veteran sc' lier. Among
other victims designated for removal
by the politicians was General Sol
onion Van Reusse laer, whose gallant
services against Great Britain in the
War of 1912 had been rewarded by
an election to the House Of Repre-
sentatives, followed by his appoint
ment as Postmaster OF Albany. Ilo
was decided Federalist, aud the
petition for his removal was helled
by Martin Van Buren aud Silas
Write.
Visiting Washington, General Van
Rensselaer, received n cordial greet

in corner, he waited until the room
was cleared, when he again ap-
proached the President, saying
General jackson, have come here
to talk to you about my office The
politicians want TO tako it from me,
aud they know l have nothing else
to live upon" The President made
no reply, till the aged Postmaster
began to take off his coat in the
most excited manner, whcn Old
Hickory broke out with the inquiry ;
"What in Heavens name arc you
going TO do 2 Why do you take of
your coat hero T. "Well, sir, | am
going to show you my wounds,
which l received in hshtiug for my
country against the English !" "Put
it on at once, sir y was the reply ;
III am surprised that man of your
age should make such an exhibition
of himself" and the eyes of the iron
President were sutl'nsed with tears
as, without another word, he babe
his ancient foe good evening.
The next day Messrs. Van Buren,
and Wright called at tho White
House aud were shown up into the
Presidents room, where they found

A PACK PEDDLER's STORY.

II have been a pack poddler FIR
more than twenty years" said the
old man, rs be whitfield away at bis
pipe to get II light, 'apd you may
suppose | have met with some stir,
ling adventures. l havo travelled Il
great deal in Missouri, Kansas, Ne
braska, aud Minnesota. and foi
weeks aud months I have been on
the alert, not only to preserve the
contents Of my pack, but to defend
my life. Ny liue of trade has been

mnch AZ $4,000 worth OF gold aud
silver watches, ear-rings, finger
rings, etc. have sat on log be-
side highway in Kansas and sold
800 worth Of stock to three or foui
mon, and | bave disposed of $50
worth of lalioe' jowelry at n pioneer
cabin which had neither floors nor
partitions.
"On two different occasions | ate
dinner at the cabin Of old Bender,
the Kansas liend. On the first oc
casion the old man was away, aud l
saw only two old women about the
place. Six months later, when |
called again, it was about IL o'clock
in the forenoon Then | saw old
Bender for the first time. / have
heard him described as pleasant
faced old mao whom no one would
suspect, but tell you the very first
look at him put me on my guard.
For the first time in q year 1 felt
that my life was in danger The
same two slatternly women were
about the house, aud there was a
young wan whom i took TO be old
Bender's son. This young man
disappeared soon after arrived, but
whether he had hid 10 the house or
rode off across the prairie l never
knew. Benders women purchased
about So worth Of notions, aud the
old man dickered with me for an
hour over gold watch. 1t seems
he had but small stock OF cash,
but no offered me personal property
in exchange. He had three or four
silver watches, all of which had been
carried, two or three revolyers, two
bosom pins made of Jumps of pure
gold, and three or four pairs Of val.
liable cuff buttons. We had nearly
effected an exchange when he sud-
denly decided to leave the matter
open until after dinner.
Months afterward, when the dis
coveries of his crimes came out,
thought the matter over, and could
remember just how nicely he played
mo. Without seeming to inter.
rogate mo for information no asked
how long q trip | had made, what
success had met with, who was,
where | lived, aud whom | knew in
that locality. The old murderer
was figuring up the chances Of my
being missed in case he put an end
to me, and ho had o curiosity to
