A dispatch from Shelbyville says:
THE John Hogan affair is still shrouded
in mystery, and investigation only adds
complications. Some two weeks ago
Hogan was found dead in his bed.
Twelve hundred dollars in money, a GER
tificate of deposit in the First national
bank for $1,000 and pension check for
$216 were found on his person. Investi-
cation reveals that he has money and
property in various places in the coun-
try. His Identity, however has not
been fully established as his stories
while living are mystifying in the ex-
IRENE. Father Koehlin, the priest of
this city, was told by him that his real
for the present. refuses to divulge his
real name. IT is said that he was draw
ing two pensions under the two names
one at the rate Of $T2 per month in
the name &C John Hogan for total blind
ness, the other for a less amount for
another disability under the other name.

Tuesday cinders from a Lake Shore
engine set fire to the dry grass about
| three miles east of town and it got such
| a good start and burned and spread with
| such rapidity and over such an extent
| of territory that all the afternoon about
| fifty men we're required to fight it. The
men of three sections fought fire all
| afternoon at different places and were
| assisted by the neighborhoOd to save
valuable farm property. One field of
about forty acres was burned over, in
which there was flock of sheep, and so
| rapidly did the fire spread that six
| animals were burned to death and sew
| eral badly scorched. Only by the most
| hard work was a large barn saved. The
| drought makes this source of fire ex-
| tremely dangerous along railways and
| a rain would be of great benefit for this
reason If nothing else. Nearly one hum
| dred acres in all were burned over, ruin
| ing all the fencing. The farms Of John
| Clark and Emanuel Muesser were the

| says the losses will be speedily adjusted.
| Several more sheep died today and in

| burned.-Goshen News.
Lawyer G. S. Payne had rather an in
| terestlng experience Tuesday morning.
He is very liberal minded gentleman,
| and bright and early on that morning,
| when the sun was barely showing its
| face to the populace, he was accosted by
| a very seedy looking individual who
| asked to be given something TO eat,
| saving he had been without so much as
a mouthful for twenty-four hours, and
/ offering to do any work which might be
| assigned him. Scott couldn't refuse him,
| but told him he would have to wait until
| breakfast was ready and in the mean
| time he could put in the time pumping
water from a we'll which he wanted
| cleaned out. Mr.. Payne then went TO
| his office, and returning few minutes
| later found the tramp gone. He was
not surprised, but when he entered the
| house and found Mr.. Tramp seated in
| the best room and the wife Of his bosom
| in an ecstasy Of delight he was dumb
| founded After explanations he was
aware that "the tramp" was his brother
| in-law, william Triplett, whose home is
| in Missouri He arrived the night be-
| fore and was fixed up by his father
and mother the next morning to surprise
| Mr.. Payne and his wife. Mrs. Payne,
however. penetrated his disguise as soon
as she saw him at the pump.-Clay City

| Fletcher Emley of Clearcreek town
| ship is not a candidate for appointment
| on the Chicago police force, but If he
| was. he would be sure of place. While
| in Chicago Mr.. Finley gave an example
of what he could do at criminal catch
| ing. Mr.. Emley was In street car on
| his way to the worlds fair grounds. The
| car was crowded. A man edged his way
| through the crowd and in order to let
| him pass Mr.. Finley had to move. AS
he did so he felt something at his hip
| pocket. He reached around and found
| his pocket-book gone The man who sat
| next to him left the car with the one
| who edged past and Mr.. Finley thought
| they were the thieves. He started after
| them. They led him a lively chase sew
| eral blocks down a street. On the way
| one of the men handed the pocketbook
| to another fellow standing on the side
walk. who leaped over fence and hid
| in a coal bin. The two thieves ran into
| crowd where Emley lost sight of one,
/ but as the other one was boarding a
| street car Mr.. Emley and two or three
| citizens overhauled him and turned him
| over to the police Mr.. Finley returned
| to where the man had Jumped the fence.
| A woman had watched the affair from a
| window and told where the fellow was
| hiding He was found there and pulled
| out. After Mr.. Emley had obtained his
| pocketbook he turned the fellow over to
officers. thus capturing two out of the
