Owen county When the family returned
from Rock Island Mr.. Davenport was
dead and the blood stained carpets. fur
nlture and bed clothing showed that
terrible tragedy had been enacted. Aaron
Long, some time after the murder. related
this account of the murder to Mir. Mitchell.

nificant manner: The boys killed por-
cupins and it had nine hundred quilts"
When the murderers reached the In-
diana line one OF their horses gave out
and they appropriated one belonging to a
farmer near by. The farmer started in
pursuit and traced them to Bowling
Green, Clay county, where he told
Col. T. Alien Rose OF the thieves. Mr..
Rose at once gathered together 200 OF his
friends and all started for Mother Longs,
where they thought they would find their
men. One OF the men to volunteer his
services at Bowling Green was James
Mitchell, the narrator. When the posse
neared the cabin OF the Longs Col. Rose
had his men quietly surround the entire
premises. During the night Aaron Long,

Tho Tin Pinto FAKE at the Anderson
5Tii.
ANDERSON, May 9.-[Special. THE re-
publican press throughout tho state. and
especially the Indianapolis Journal, is
making a great deal OF ado about the tin
plate mill at Anderson, and its articles are
copied extensively by the republican
press as, tending to show the benefcent
effects Of the Mckinley bill in developing
new industries.
It is O TACT that the Anderson tinplate
works are turning out about thirty boxes
OF bright tin a day and it is of superior
quality.
These reports, however, fail to men,
ton the fact that there is not an ounce Of
American material, aside from the lead
used. that enters into the manufacture Of
tin plate at Anderson. But on the con-
trary they conceal all these facts and pro-
claim the Anderson tin as American tin.
The only thing that is American is the
simple process of putting on the tin
coating.
The black plate that is timed is all i'm
ported from England and not an ounce of
American block tin is used to coat the
English plate. The latter comes from the
Malay peninsula, India, and every pig of
tin that has been used in the factory here
bears either the shipping mark OF Mel
bourne, Australia. or Singapore, Asia, and
this is the Goods truth" about the tin in-
dustry at Anderson which is so much
talked about by the republican press Of
this state.
There is nothing American about it.
Even the labor performed is all done 10y
English or Welshmen and not an Ameri-
can is employed in the works aside from a
few girls who get mere pittance for pol
ishing the plates in wheat bran.
