PLAINFIELD. July l-special.-The
only toll road in Hendricks county is a
part of the old Cumberland or national
road. extending two miles west Of Plain
leld and five miles east.
The piece Immediately east Of town was
snade famous by having a stage coach,
containing Martin Van Buren,, president
of the United States, turn over in an al
most bottomless mudhole. Some Of the
older residents remember the occurrence
and say the stage driver was paid to
dump Van Buren, in a particularly bad
place because Of his having vetoed a bill
for the Improvement Of the road. This
was about 1910. and Mr.. Van Buren, was
Swinging around the circle
Since that time the road has undergone
many changes.
At one time It was a plank road. evil
dencss of which may yet be seen IN places.
iAfterward 1t passed into the hands Of a
stock company as a gravel road, with It's
president, secretary, treasurer and direc-
tors. and is reputed 10 have paid as much
as 60 per cent. per annum In net profits.
For want Of proper care this piece Of road
has become less serviceable than any free
road in the county, and as the mudholes
and ruts became more numerous the toll
advanced correspondingly until lately
man could ride on the railroad for less
money than he could travel in his own
vehicle over this road. Mr.. Elmer Jack
son Of this place recently compromised
for a cash consideration a threatened
damage suit against the road. and since
then has refused to pay toll.
Yesterday suit was begun before Eli
johnson. justice of the peace, by the road
against Jackson to recover 50 toll AS
soon as it became known that such a suit
was threatened numerous offers Of money
were made Jackson 10 assist him in fight
ing the road to a finish and giving it
death blow. The best legal talent in Hen
bricks county was present yesterday at
2 p. m. when the case was called. Three
hours were consumed in finding a jury
who knew nothing Of the road and had
never heard of Jackson. At p. m. the
case went to trial on its merits before
jury of five men. The president of the
road was the only witness examined, and
he was handled without gloves by the
defendants attorneys. At Z p. m. the
company's attorneys prayed the court for
q two weeks continuance on the grounds
that many Of the cOmpany's witnesses
were busy now with harvest and to pro-
coed would De an injustice to them. A
continuance was desperately fought
aSatns- by Jackson's attorneys, a part of
the witnesses all joining in the discussion.
The squire finally said his wife was sick
and needed his attention, so he would
grant continuance until July 10 next
BY many this is accepted as a square
backdOWn By the road The general
opinion is the case will never be reopened :;
the ROAD viii continue TO do business at
the Old stand. accepting toll from those
willing To pay and eventually die
Thus E,sses away the last of the toll
roads in Hendricks county.

AIMS Roman catholic church caught fire
at noon today, shortly after the last
mass was over and the congregation had
been dismissed. 1t was almost entirely
destroyed. The church was a frame
building and the loss will be about five
thousand dollars. The altar was not in
jured. There is considerable feeling over
a rumor that the burning was the work
of the A. p. A. but investigation so far
does not sustain the rumor, although the
ORIGIN of the fire is a mystery.
