Monroe county II seems that this Is
where the difference abides. Mr. Moore is
past eighty. and his wife is siXty-four, and
as is naturally to be expected, both are
somewhat set in their ways. After the
departure of the groom for his home, Mrs.
Moore began to think seriously of the
separation from her children, VINO live in
this city. and finally maternal love rose
above the new-found love for the husband
and she refused to go to him. As a result
Mr.. Moore has applied for divorce and
the ties OF youth. sundersd and reunited
after years, are to he again rent in twain
by process of law.-Kokomo Dispatch.
Daniel Spears, who was brought up here
last week under arrest as forger, returned
to KokOmO. and walking into the Dispatch
Office requested that the paper correct an
error they had made in stating that 4
Kokom0 officer had made a record as a
clever detective. You may call II clever

bet you cant run fast enough to make
that officer believe it is half as clever as
it looks in print. | know what I'm talking

the way, too. though both the officer and
the chief Of Michigan City, who came TO

the KokonO Foff1cers were half as clever
as you say they are, Daniel Spears added,
"they ought 10 have had me three weeks

Undertaken Rottman of this city is in re-
caipt Of the following letter in regard to the
death Of Mr.. Monroe White. late of our
town: &C eneva, md, Dec. II, 1894 Mon
roe White came by his death on Dec. 10,
about S45 o'clock D. m. The cOrOner's de-
cision was that his death was caused by
strangulation and drowning in a tank Of
oil. The circumst 2nces, as near as we can
tel. them. are as follows: 1t was a new
tank containing about fifteen inches Of oil.
1t sprung leak about 7:30 and Mr. Black.
whose tour it was, called White TO attend
the pumps while he went after a tank
builder. After examining the tank White
expressed the belief that they could fix 1t
themselves, which they attempted 10 do by
placing junk and sand pumpings INTO L..
This falling to work, White proposed to go
inside and cork it himself. He was advised
not to do il on account of the gas. but per-
sisted, saying that he would go in a little
piece and if 1t was too strong for him he
would come out. A board was taken up
from the top and he entered When his
head was just below the deck he stopped
and Black heard him cough and say: It's
pretty strong. An instant afterward he
heard him fall. Black was afraid to 60
after him and Immediately started for help.
He lay in the tank from one-half to one
hour, and was undoubtedly overcome by
gas before he fell There seems to be no
blame attached 10 Mr.. Black. although he
feels very badly over the affair"
DR.. Barcus and C. NJ. Scott, who went
up to New Richmond Monday to hold an
inquest over the body Of Edward Wilson
? are home. From a talk with the people up
there about Wilson il seems that he was a
most exemplary young man in every re-
spect. For some time he has been madly in
love with Miss Bertha Pritchard, a bright
and fascinating young lady to whom he was
engaged But it was one Of those cases Of
ten TO be met with where one Of the parties
is too swift as the saying is for the
other. The young man was Of serious dis
position and seriously in love. His whole
life was wrapt up in the girl of his choice.
To go with another girl or pay any atten-
ton to any other to him would be a crime.
With her it was different. She, notwith-
standing her love, or appearance Of love
for him. was inclined to flirt a little with
other young men and this finally broke the
poor boys heart. He left two letters and
in one to the young lady said: You will
remember you once remarked that married
life is either heaven or hell. L have con-
cluded that rather than make two people
miserable to kill myself" This solved the
whole thing. He had concluded that owing
to his insane jealousy and her tendency
to flirt that married life would be hell on
earth and he laboring under a spell of mel
ancholly, made up his mind TO end all.
They were to have been married soon and
were here recently and purchased their
furniture. which ordered to be delivered
