RUDEsAL,s STRONG DEFENSE.
The Former indianapolis Man on
Trial for His Life.
Do the IndianaDOlis journal.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE. Ind, April 1.-THE case
of Edward Rudesal, former resident of
Indianapolis. for killing Michael Horen. has
been on trial in the Circuit Court of this
county during the past week. The shoot
ing occurred on the 9Th of December and
followed a fight in the saloon of John Fitz-
gerald in which Rudesal and Chas. Schuess-
Ter were on one side and Michael Horen
and young man named Quivey on the
other. In that fight Rudesal hit in the
face and head, his nose broken. and he
was considerably battered up. The evil
dence developed so far, shows that
Rudesal acted largely in self-defense. 1t
has also been shown that Horen, the dead
man, was a quarrelsome character. and
somewhat of pugiist. Witnesses testified
to Horen having threatened Rudesal The
court room is daily packed with spectators.
Horen's antipathy toward Rudesal seemed
to have had part OF its origin in the belief
that Rudesal was a member of the A. p A.
The taking of evidence it is thought will
close by Tuesday. Rudesal is being de-
Tended by Col. Dick DeHart and George p.
Haywood. The State is represented by
William II. Wood and Charles Z. Thomp-
son.

SEYMOUR, Ind, April 15.-The storm of
Indignation which broke out after the DEM

ering in strength and fury, and ii means
a general revolution of politics in this
county. The time is believed 20 have come
when the honest voters will rebel. The sup
posed manipulation of the tally sheet at
Brownstown, Saturday, in the interest of
Derment, is the latest trick to incense the
people. The auditors office, out of the NOM

claim he robbed. has for years been
handed over from the incumbent 20 his
deputy. a nomination was always eQuiva-
lent to an election, and the business of the
Office has always been the secrets of the

OF the tally sheets be true, il is but in
keeping with the method which the gang
used few years ago in cobbing Mr.. Joseph
Kruewel out of the same office. At the cleo

bic with the postoffice authorities. The

The Future of Farming.
=. V. Smalley, in April Forum.

f. V oIildliey, III <ApIlI TOIuiIl-
The so-called bonanza wheat farms of
the Northwest and the big farms of the
California valleys grew out of transient
conditions that no longer prevail-the Cal
ifornia farms out of the old Spanish land
grants and the Minnesota and Dakota
farms out Of the congressional grants 10
railroads. The history of the Northwest
big farms is that the land pur
chased from the railroad companies with
deprecated stock, and cost originally
about 81 per acre. The low price of wheat
and the higher price of land have changed
the whole aspect of large farming. There
is no bonanza in the big farm now; it
makes but n moderate profit the cap
ital it represents in average crop years,
and with a bad crop it barely pays run
ming expenses. 1t requires as careful man
agement as a factory. L believe that we
are now in a transition period in agr-
culture. The influence of machinery has
been fully eXerted. There are no more
fertile lands on the globe to be conquered
by civilization and TO increase. the food
supply, With growth of population, will
come better prices for farm products.
Farm life will become more attractive.
The tendency to large farms will be
checked. a hundred acres, even with eX-
elusive grain farming, will afford a good
living to family. Better times for Amer
lean agriculture are not far off.

found that he was too late for the lower
portion of the building was one mass of
fire.
To jump from the window. a distance of
forty feet, TO the ground was a dangerous
feat and meant the intlictiOn OF serious if
not fatal injuries. The Commissioner ca He'd
loudly for help, but received no response
and had finally made up his mind TO leap
from the window when to his great JOY a
number OF the crew OF the man-of-war
Pinta arrived on the scene.
They secured a ladder bur IT was not
long enough 10 reach the window Then
a search was made for a rope to throw 70

cured, and after being thrown TO Mr.

furniture in the room. and with its AID
reached the ladder. and then the ground

the floor upon which he had been standing

asked him what he was doing he replied
that he was digging sassafras, but no other
