KNIGHTSTOwN. Sept Especial
Last night about 9 O'Clock, as Mrs. Ed
Elliott, who lives on a farm about two
miles east of town. was coming from
neighbors where she and her children
had been spending the evening, she was
met on the road near her home by some
miscreants in a buggy who, after they
had passed stopped their vehicle, and
jumping out of the buggy, opened fire
on Mrs. Elliott, saying, IN fix YOU.
One ball struck her in the back. The
ball ranged around under the arm and
was taken from her breast.
There Is no cause assigned for the
deed
Mrs. Elliott is one OF the well-to-do
people OF this section and highly re-
spected by every one
Great excitement prevails in the town
and country and a posse was soon in
pursuit of the parties. who If caught will
be summarily dealt with.
It was quite dark and Mrs. Elliott
was unable to give any description of
the men. 1t was so unexpected an at
tack that she was paying no attention
TO the parties as they passed her. 1t is
thought TO be the work of some drunken
roughs on their way home from town.
1t is not thought the wound will prove
fatal unless some complications arise.

A Strange Well.

DUBLIN. Sept. -Special.-Tuesday
morning last John Newlin, living in the
west end of town, attempted to pump
the water out of a well, which is about
twenty feet deep and in which there
was about eight feet Of water that had
not been used for six months or more
When he had pumped out about five feet
the water began to bubble and boil
Soon a torch was applied when loud
explosion took place. In short time
another torch was applied with the same
result and for a half dozen more times
when torch was held over the well a
loud report followed, blowing off every
thing that was over the well. The boil
ing still continues with no less force. It
Is now supposed to be shale gas, but for
shale gas to be so near the top of a well
is of rare occurrence.

THE FARMER KEPT COOL.
II He Had Not His Bull Would Have
GOred Him to Death.

RICHMOND, Sept. T-Special.-A few
days ago. near CentervilIe, this county.
William Martin, an elderly but sturdy
farmer. with his ten-year-old son, was
going along a lane on his farm leading
by ring and rope a blooded bull, which
had always been perfectly docile. Near
the end of the lane is hay barn, and
as this little procession was passing it
the bull. with a coarse below, rushed
at the old farmer. and catching him on
his horns, pinioned him against the barn.
The boy, who was behind the bull, was
frightened almost out of his wits, but
the old man kept cool. The angry ami
NAL. when it turned and caught the
farmer. had. instead of goring him,
pressed one Of its horns on either side of
his legs, just below the hips, and with
deep reverberating believing, flashing
eyes, waving tail and curved spine,
stood pressing his sharp horns deeper
and deeper into the boards at the old
mans back while the earth beneath his
feet was torn up and thrown far TO the
rear by its furious efforts to crush the
object Of its great fury. Thus matters
stood for a quarter of a minute.
The farmer. although he did not expect
TO escape with his life, remained as cool
as If he We're simply milking COW. He
told his son. who was standing as if
paralyzed. staring at the maddened bull,
TO run nome ana get the gun. The
house was a quarter of a mile away and
the boy ran some distance, when the
farmer remembered that there was a
stout. long-tined pitchfork in the barn
against which the bull was squeezing
him tighter and tighter. He called the
boy back and told him to get the pitch
fork. He got the fork and came back.
The farmer directed him to the left side
of the believing, paving bull, pointed
out about where the animals heart lay
beneath the thick hide and told him to
place the tines against the bulls side at
that spot
These orders We're all given with the
greatest GOODNESS and deliberation by the
farmer. who was by this time covered
with the foam that flew from the mouth
of the enraged bull. When the boy
placed the sharp tines Of the fork against
the bulls side the father said:
Now push with all your might and
mainr'
The boy threw all of his weight and
force against the handle of the fork
sinking the tines their entire length into
the bulls side. The animal dropped to
his knees as If he had been shot and
with one tremendous below rolled over
on his side dead. The tines had passed
clear through his heart. The old farmer
fell TO the ground, too. for he was badly
bruised and almost exhausted. He soon
recovered and hobbled home His cool
ness had saved him. If he had struggled
10 escape the bull would have almost in
stantly gored and trampled him to death.

The COnrads.

LEAVENWORTH, Sept. Especial
The Conrad brothers. who played such
havoc among the white caps Of Harri-
son county a few weeks ago, were in
Leavenworth yesterday consulting with
attorneys on the advisability of surren-
dering themselves to the authorities of
Indiana and standing trial The attor-
neys advised them to steer clear of Har-
rison and Crawford counties, where the
dead white caps have so many friends
and relatives. The Conrads stated that
their home was in Harrison county and
that they were not contented elsewhere.
but the attorneys We're not found who
would agree that their worldly posses
sions We're of more value than life. A
sister of the Conrads, who claims to have
been in the clutches of the white caps
when the Conrad brothers fired into the
crowd. is said to be still suffering from
a wound received in the arm by the
flying shot.

Rain Wanted BADLY.

RENSSELAER,, Sept. 9.-Special.-The
oldest inhabitant Of Jasper county can
not recall the time when there was such
a continuous drought as we experience
at this time. Fires have been raging in
Jasper, Starke and Pulaski counties and
thousands of tons of hay have been
burned up. The timber in this county
principally consists of groves and many
acres have been destroyed. Tuesday n
destructive fire was raging south of
San Pierre and IL destroyed many acres
of hay The corn on the sandy bend is
greatly injured by the drought and the
recent frost injured that in the low
lands so that the outlook for the farmer
is discouraging.

the closing was about IL to Ia higher

crop report gave the continent condition

Moss of Brooklyn, Ind, rented a house
at Waverly for the purpose of running
a saloon. He moved in yesterday, using
a part as residence. Last night a ter
