his death. 1t contained no order of sus-
pension. I make this statement and
desire that you publish the same for the
reason that so many such reports have
of late appeared in public print and my
silence in this matter might be taken
as giving credence to this report"
lively scrap occurred recently at
Jonesboro. A barber named Brumley
and a man named William Moore got
into a dispute in front Of Brumey's bar
Der shop and Brumley seemed to be
getting the best of the scrap and had
administered several well-directed blows
that made Moore howl with pain, and
had started into his shop when Moore
gathered himself up and started after
him. For some reason or other Brumley
closed the door, which fastens with a
spring lock, and the two Infatuated men
were locked in together. Friends Of
both tried to break open the door, but
it resisted all their efforts. Moore then
proceeded to get even with Brumley. He
drew knife from somewhere and pro-
ceeded to cut Bromley in the most APP
proved style. He cut a deep cash on
his head. on the right side Of his face
near his ear, on the left side under his
eye, on the neck and in the breast, pen
etrating the left lung. After his vic
tim had staggered into a corner, Moore
coolly opened the door and walked out
and was not molested by anyone as he
walked to his room at Elihu Pember-
toms. Moore is a Kentuckian and has
been working for PembertOn several
months. He went to the house, washed,
changed his shirt. his other being COW
cred with the BARRIERS blood, and, it is
said, left Jonesboro on the night train.
Brumley is in bad condition and it is
thought that he will not get well.-Mar-

that the council has passed an ordinance
requiring every dog owner to buy tags
for their pets, don't you?" "Lawd bless
you, / knowd that long time ago, but
I'll tell you Mister Policeman, it's I'M
possible for me to get the money right

woman that he was compelled to either
collect the tax or prosecute the owner.
This information distressed the woman
greatly. but after a moments thought
she exclaimed: "Pu tell you what I'll

EXPLANATION was satisfactory to the
marshal for the time. but he called next
day. With a sorrowfuI face she met him
at the door and told the officer that both

The trustees of the State normal
school have issued an address to the citi-
Zens of Indiana relative to the troubles
in the school which eliminated in the
nongraduation of the senior class last
June. 1t is the first official statement
from the board The address is brought
out by the knowledge that the trouble
is brewing again and is expected to
break out as strong as ever when school
meets, Sept. 10. The address is a
lengthy one and is issued under the
signatures Of all five trustees. 1t charges
that Prof. Tompkins has set about TO
destroy the school because his wife was
not given place in the faculty by
President Parsons. and that Tompkins
himself, who is personally conceded to
be popular, has instigated the rebellion
of the students and is back Of all their
movements. The address states he was
dismissed on evidence that he attacked
other members of the faculty and their
methods and ridiculed them TO the
pupils. a letter from President ]. p.
D. John Of DePauw university is incor-
porated in the address, in which that
educator. who was quoted favorably on
Prof. Tompkins, complains that his in
terview was garbled by the students
and is improperly used in the circulars
they are distributing. President John
writes that Prof. Tomplins was charged
with attacking the faculty Of DePauw.

session the rebellious students Will not
be asked to sign any statements that
they are sorry for actions, but they
must be loyal.
The habit of jumping on and off trains
at the depots is a growing evil, and the
officers do not seem to take any steps
to put a stop to it. The employees OF
the roads tell of great many narrow
escapes; but Ed Smith, manager of the
Western Union telegraph, tells Of one
of the narrowest and most remark
able escapes that we have ever heard
of. A few days ago, lame man who
was walking with a cane, jumped on
a moving freight train, and before he
could swing himself between two cars,
he was truck by a switch target. The
train was moving at pretty good
rate, he was knocked off the train and
thrown across the track Ed says his
hair fairly stood straight on his head.
IL being impossible to aid him, as he
was on the opposite side Of the track
from where he stood. AS the train
moved on, he could not see anything
of the man and supposed he was being
ground TO pieces. He was gratifed,
however, to find after the train had
passed to see the man lying at the side
of the track. all in one piece. He went
to his assistance and found that he
was considerably bruised where he
was struck by the target, and where
his t<,1y hid strua.s fha all. otkCrS lse
