We regret to say that Capt. Ssm1 d..
Bowman, of this place, was badly kicked
on the leg Just below the knee on Satur-
day last. The accident occurred on Mr..
Bowman's farm near town, and was caus-
ed by his riding up behind horse that
had lust been taken from the stable

town in a bsggy, and has since been con-
fined to the house, the injury being quite
painful
DIR. C. B. Lohr, whose unsavory record
is familiar in this county, and who was
brought back to Stanton from Wash
Iincton, Indiana, where he had purchased
a saloon under an assumed name, was
tried for horse stealing before Justice
Kinney, who, to the surprise of many dis
missed the warrant against Lohr, who a.
once brought suit against Cook, who
charged him with stealing his horse, FOL
false Imprisonment, putting his damages
at $4,000. We have an idea that he viii
get that amount and then some.
