lie Becomes obstreporous and HcsIsts the
Officers.
Ned Costello gave the police a great
deal OF trouble early Sunday morning.
lie was out riding Saturday evening
and wound up At the St. Charles hotel.
There he requested James Collum, an
oil worker, who boards at the hotel, to
hold his horse. Collum asked him il
he had the price. ! Costello said that he
had, and made his way towards the en-
trance OF the hotel. CoIlum followed
him, and again inquired III he had the
price" Collum then claims that Co.'S
tello whirled around and struck him in
the mouth. Coming up street ColIum
met officer Carney and wanted> his as.
sailant arrested. Officers Carney and
Lukens then went down to the hotel,
and, when approached by Carney, Cos.
teiio got gny and wanted TO wrestIe
with the officer. This Carney objected
to, and Costello finally becoming very
offensive was placed under arrest.
II was as much rs the two officers
could do to land their man in tho lock-
up. He became very abusive towards
Carney, and resisted incarceration all
the way. In the city building he broke
out worse than ever, and heaped on
Officer Carney all the vituperativc
names he could lay his tongue to. In
getting him in his cell Carney fell with
him, landing on top. Costello then
tried to bite Carney, and the officer, to
save himself, had to gouge Costollo's
eve to prevent being mutilated. After
this he quoted down aad was released

Costello's great enemies are liquor and
his tongue, his speech becoming very
offensive when he is tanked.

Il CUTE TRICK

Tha: Required NOrvc, and Only Discov'
cred by An Astuto Banker.
On Saturday last depositor rendered
among his deposits a 50 treasury note
raised to $50. The work was clever
enough to catch the depositor, but the
bank teller's practiced eye at once saw
through the trick, that official knowing
that a 500 treasury note did not beal
the portrait OF General Mcpherson, and
the cipher in th6case being larger than
tho figure ..
The job, however, was so smoothly
done that ninety-nlne out OF one hun.
dred would not have detected the fraud,
Tho work also showed the skill OF q
painstaking artist; and it is probable he
knew OF no other way to so easily make
SIS.
OF course the depositor was innocent,
and like all innocent people will be the
loser.

SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
The Peculiar Story of a Woman Who Married
Three Times.

The Peculiar Story OF q Woman Who Married
Three Times.
EUNCIE, Feb. 23.-[Special. "A very
strange sequel TO q case in police court in
which young man named Mullernix was
charged with assaulting Mrs. Susan
Antrim terminated today.
Mullernix was charged with going to
the home of L. Antrim, and after getting
the man TO step out of the house to
get some beer it was alleged
that Mullernix attempted to assault the
mans wife After this young man was re-
leased of the charge ne then swore VEN
Reance. which was fully developed today
lie openly charges Mrs. Antrim with be-
ing bigamist. and as such she has been
proven as guilty. The rather sensational
developments made are as follows: Seven
years ago Susan was the pretty
daughter OF l.. Moulder, a
prosperous farmer residing near
Celina, in Mercer county. q. at that time
she was married to man named Shep-
herd. Her husband died after i've years
welded bliss. A year later the woman
married man named Branch. The we'd
ding occurred ct 6 o'clock. and at 10 o clock
that night the husband got out of bed
left his wife and never has since been
beard from. L. Antrim, then resident Of
Celins, was soon bewitched with the
woman's smiles, and proposal of
marriage was accepted. Antrim came
to Muncie, telling the woman TO get a di-
vorce and come here and they would be
married. She became over-anx Gus in
the matter, thinking it was all nonsence
to 90 to this expense Of divorce ,as she
was going among strangers. So she
came here without the papers and was
married.
Mullenix knew OF the above history,
made an affidavit as 10 its truthiullness
ami the woman was arrested. She plead
for mercy and WAS permitted TO return
home to Celina. where she will likely get
the divorce and be legally married.

A SERIES OF FoReERIEs.

The Startling Exposure of William 7. Ryan
of Anderson.
ANDERSON, Feb. IL Especial. IA series
OF startling forgeries have just come TO
light here as the work of William p.
RYAN, who, until the last few days, has
been engaged in the grocery business
here.
During the past year Ryan has had sev-
eral transactions with Asa Smith, his
hrother-in-law. and John and Noah
Ryan, his brothers. In order TO
raise money 10 carry on his
grocery business. he induced the three
to indorse notes for him aQgregating 81, 800
under promise that as soon as he sold his
farm here he would redeem them. Some
week or ten days ago he sold his farm for
81, 600 and instead of paying off the notes
as be had promised he left for Kansas
City, Since he left it developed that he
had committed a series OF forgeries and
raised some $500 more by issuing
notes upon the parties above named
also one note for $3.50 on Saret Bronnen-
berg. These notes. it is claimed. have all
been casbed and are now in the hands of
banks here. Last Friday RYAN was ar
rested at kensas City under peculiar cir
cumstances. II was by the merest acct
dent that he was apprehended. He acted
so strangely upon arriving a. Kansas City
that policeman arrested him on sua-
picion. Ryan supposing that the police
man was aTrestiDg him upon instruction
from Anderson told the whole story and
admitted that be was forger and a fugi-
tive from Justice. Sheriff Van DYKE Of
this county was Immediately notified and
an officer will be sent to Kansas City after
Ryan today.
An Indianapolis firm. McCune, Malott
q Co., are also numbered among bis vic
tins. While in the grocery business here
he obtained $500 worth OF goods on credit
by representing to them i'll a sworn state
nent that he was worth Sl4, 100 above oil
indebtedness. A warrant has been lying
here in the hands of officers for his arrest
for some weeks past but for some reason
it was not served.
Ryan has enjoyed the reputation of
being one of the gilt-edged men of the
county.

FAMOUS F0RGER CAUGHT.
A Chapter in the Career Of Stephen
c. BroadwelI.

New York, Feb. 23.-Inspector Nc
Laughlin has arrested Stephen G. Broad
we'll. ex-convict, famous counterfeiter and
notorious bank swindler. Broad wells
latest heavy swinding operations were in
Cincinnati and Detroit, where the lead
ing banks OF both cities were heavy losers
by his methods. The specific charges
against Broadwell are that on Feb. Is,
1892, he swindled the Third national bank
of Cincinnati out of 81, 1872, the First nation
al bank of Cincinnati out of Sl,6S3. and
the German national bank OF Cincinnati
out of 81 ,6S4; that on Nav IA. 1892, he de-
frauded the Third national bank of Detroit
out OF 81. 7S2 and the City savings bank
of Detroit cut of 81, 4S5. Broad " ELF 8
method in all these cases was the same.
He bought a draft payable to himself
under the name of Thomas Hunt, in some
bank in another city for a small amount.
and then skiilfuliy raised the punches TO
make the draft read for large amount. A
draft for SIS would be raised 10 81, 800. 81
to 81 700 and so on. So skillful was his
work that the meney was paid over with
outQuestion and the fraud only discovered
when the paving bank sent the draft 70
the issuing bank for collection.
Broadwell departed Immediately after
these last operations. The Detroit and
Cincinnati banks offered q reward of s., 00O
for his capture. When Inspector Me-
Laughlin located BroadWell ne sent word
to Cincinnati, and yesterday three pay
ing telers came to this city and fully
identified the swindier. The teilers were
Louis L. Nanausdol of the Third national
bank, George Koehler of the First national
bank and Gustav L. Stecler OF the German
national bank. Broadwen has a famous
