Whipped by White Caps.
Il to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS, Ind, July 1S.-In Johnson
township, Brown county, an outrageous
case of White-capping took place early
this morning. The White-cappers first
visited the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Perry
Bloomfield and easily gained admission.
With switches cut from a hillside Mr.. and
Mrs. Bloomfield were numerically whipped.
Bloomfield's father, who is blind, and liv-
ing with his son, protested, but he, too,
suffered their fate, being fearfully whipped
From the Bloomfield home the White-cap-
perS went to the home Of the Stems
brothers, who are married and reside in
one large house. Here the lawbreakers
had little trouble I'm gaining admittance.
The two older brothers and their wives
and the wife of the younger brother were
fearfully whipped. The youngest brother
attempted to escape through a window. In
doing so he was shot through the right
ankle and thus became easy mark for
the White-cappers, who ran him down and
applied the switches vigorously.
There is no known reason for the whip
ping. The unfortunate victims claim to
have identified their assailants and suits
will be filed against them. Three other
families in the immediate neighborhood re-
ceived notice TO leave at once or take the
consequences

oner to-day heard the testimony Of a num-
Der Of Fontanet miners In regard to the
wreck. last Friday morning. by which
engineer Moerhman and fireman Fleck
were killed. The miners testified TO but
little that OF value in the case. Hol-
lOway. the brakeman, has told another
story. which is to the effect that he re-
canted his confessions of guilt because a
reporter advised him to do So The jailer
who was with the reporter says this is
not true but the officials whose short
comings are in question take hold of the
story TO make case against Holloway.
The fact is that a half dozen implicated
men have escaped by reason of the dila-
toriness Of the authorities The sheriff and
deputies were at Fontanet the night of
the wreck. and were near enough to have
heard the crash but one of them took
the Drecaution To guard the switch which
wrecked the regular passenger train, al
though there had been threats of train
wrecking all afternoon and evening. The
next morning, Friday, the coroner issued
subpoenas, but nothing was done until
yesterday. The officials have since been
too busily engaged in detective work to
apprehend the probably guilty parties, who
are now among the missing A dead set
effort to convict Holloway had
been made, and McKillup, against
whom there was evidence, was quickly
arraigned at Indianapolis for obstructing

Nine People White Capped in Brown

at the Peru Convention.

HAMMOND, Ind, July 1s-Valentine
Zimmerman, of Rochester, received the
Democratic nomination for Congress from
the Tenth congressional district on the
ninth ballot, at the convention, held in
this city, this afternoon. Taken from a
Democratic standpoint, the convention was
a grand success. There was the usual
amount of kicking and had it not been
for the arbitrary ruling of the chair, the
nomination would have been made on the
first ballot, instead of the ninth. The con-
yention was called to order by NJ. Hatha-
way, chairman of the district central COM
mittee. Judge George Burson, of Cass
county, was chosen permanent chairman,
and Z. Zimmerman, of Porter, permanent
secretary. The following names were pre-
scented as candidates for congressional hon
ors: Judge Charles A. Pollard, of Car
roll; Judge Morris Winfield, of Cass; valen-
tine Zimmerman, of Fulton. and Patrick
Keefe, of Newton. On a call of the roll
for the first ballot, Judge Nelson, of Cass
county, announced twenty-seven votes for
Winfield. AT this point delegate arose
and challenged the vote, and when the
smoke rolled away Joe Hogentagler, of
Miami township, was seen wildly gesticu-
lating and demanding that the county be
polled. He said that he. with six of his
fellow-delegates, were there to vote for
Zimmerman, and they were going to do
so if they had TO fight the whole conven-
ton. The Chair finally ruled that the coun-
ty had instructed it's delegates to vote for
Winfield and the vote would have to be
enrolled that way. The first ballot result
