An Aged Pensioner Tells His Own
story in Detail.
KOKOMO, Aug. 5.-Special-The "sus-
pended politicians" have been neatly
hoisted on their own petard in the case
of Simon P, Stonerock, an aged pen
sioner of Miami county, which is just
finding its way into the state press
Stonerock's claim came under the act of
1890. He was recently suspended and
straightway a great howl went up from
the republican press.
An investigation developed that Stone
rocks attorney had caused him to be
examined for partial deafness, rheuma-
tism. and indigestion" and his claim
showed only these disabilities. AS
matter of truth, he had a valid case of
total disability ia an aggravated case

komo Dispatch he says:

people of this place last night in the
arrest and incarceration of ]. X. Arm

attempt to sandbag the Waterman at
the Jail, drug the sheriff and do other
violent things in order TO release Cal
Armstrong from prison.

were arrested yesterday for participant
ing in the crime after being told OF the
enormity of their offense were induced
TO make a confession.

induced them to take hold OF the thing

which they were to receive large money
consideration.

sandbagging and who subsequently
weakened and informed the officers, will
not be arrested.

leased as IL is thought that he is not
guilty Of any crime other than carry
ing notes and money between the Arm
strongs and Fartenberry. who was TO re-
ceive $500 for the successful termina-
ton of the job
Pitzer and Pressler were released today
on small bond. Much sympathy is
expressed for the young men as they
have born "A good reputation and the

downfall. Great indignation is felt for
the Armstrong; and they will probably
both be sent 10 the penitentiary.

Indicted for Murder.

WINCHESTER, Aug. Especial
Samuel Price and Lizzie Storms have
both been indicted for the murder Of
Kent Brown.
in The Sentinel Of Tuesday morning.
Brown was found dead in the woods
within two miles of this city and the
evidence all pointed in the same direct
ion, and that was that Price had killed
Brown and that Lizzie Storms was more
or less implicated.
The jury also found an indictment
against John Lee of Union City, who
is charged with numbering his daugh-
ter's child, and the worst feature about
the crime is that he is also charged
with being the father of the child. The
jury indicted him also with murder in the
first degree.

MONTEZUMA, Aug. Especial
Wednesday, Aug. 2, Tolliver Perry, far
mer who lives about three and half
miles from town, was trying to paint
the town red, and while at work he got
into a difficulty with one Britton over a
game Of cards, who at once slapped him
and, not having the required amount Of
courage to resent it, he went home and
vented his anger on his wife by beating
her.
The wife came to town at once and
swore out a warrant for his arrest. while
his daughter Sallie, overcome with shame
and grief, decided To put an end to her
existance ard swallowed a dose Of rough
on rats, and now lies a corpse.
Perry was brought before Squire Dun
lap by Marshal Hunter and fined SO and
costs. Perry is a man of about sixty
years of age and does not deserve much
pity.
While his wife has the sympathy of
the neighborhood it does not restore the
daughter TO life nor bring happiness to
a once happy home.
