ANOTHER GOLD BRICK STORY.
Two "Indians' Lay Tempting Bait for
Farmer Hirschberger.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
KOKOMO, Ind. June 16.-Daniel Hirsch-
berger, a wealthy farmer twelve miles
north OF this city. was of the opinion yes
terday that a colossal fortune had eluded
his grasp. One day last week two men,
supposed to be Miami Indians. were seen
skulking around over Mr.. Hirschberger's
farm, apparently trying to locate some par
ticular spot or object. The mysterious
strangers avoided contact with any one
and when approached would
take to the woods and hide. One of the
Indians carried a paper which was FREE
quently consulted as they slipped stealth
lily around over the farm. They climbed on
fences, stumps and other elevations from
which they took surveys of the surround
1ngs and mental measurements or the land
scape.
Tne actions OF the strangers was a COM
plete puzzle TO Mr.. Hirschperger and gave
wings to the rumor that the Indians were
searching for a pot OF gold secretly buried
by their ancestors before the removal of
the original Miami tribe many years ago.
Near the end of the lane leading from
HRS mergers house to the highway was
huge bowlder firmly imbedded in the
earth Owing TO its enormous size the rock
had never been disturbed. Yesterday MORN

work he was surprised to see that the

THE ISTHMUS CANAL
PARTIAL REPORT OF INSPECTION OF
PROJECT At NICARAGUA.
Evidence that the InterOccanic
backs Originally Feared.

CHICAGO June IA dispatch to the
Times Herald from Washington. referring
to the work of the commission appointed
TO inspect the route and preliminary work
on the Nicaraguan canal says the engineers
reached Greytown, the eastern terminus
of the canal, on May l. Immediately began
examination of the property and improve
ments of the canal company at that port
One of the most important of these is a
breakwater 200 feet long, which extends
out into the sea. The construc-
ton of this was begun in December,
1889. with the result, predicted by en-
gineers, of increasing the depth of water in
the bay so that the depth on the bar is
twelve feet at the present time. Notwith-
standing the repeated efforts of engineers
TO prevent the ravages of Teredo on the
timbers on this breakwater. the commits
sioners find that the wood was badly eaten.
That portion of the canal already built ex-
tending west from Greytown toward the
San Juan river was found in splendid condi-
ton. The entertainments each side have

of the canal tor the transportation of ma

crumbling of the earth from the cliffs and
the washings from surface drainage have

pected, and Ii is said that this objection,
so often urged against the feasibility Of
the canal, has fallen fiat.
While the canal passes through a very
wet region, where the annual precipitation
is nearly twenty-five feet, the effects of
the movement of such an enormous guam
tity of water have not been bad, and give
no indication that the sides of the canal
will be washed down in few years-an
objection that has been so often urged
against the project. About two weeks ago

THE SHERIFF LOSES
JUDGE TAYLOR DENIES HIM THE
RIGHT TO FEES FOR BAILIFFs.
BmbeExler Taylor and His Brother,
kom Lafayette, ON Their Way to
Dakota-Indiana News.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal

LAFAYETTE, Ind, June 16.-Judge Tay-
Tor. of the Circuit Court. has rendered
important opinion in regard 10 the fees
OF sheriffs in Indiana, where they have
been in the habit OF receiving per diem
for attendance on the various county courts.
Under the old law il the habit of
the courts TO allow the sheriff fee OF
81 a day for attendance court If the
Commissioners Circuit and Superior courts
were all in session at once his fee was S.
day. This was in the nature of pick
up" for there was seldom any necessity Of
the sheriff being personally in court, nor
was IL thought necessary that he be at ali
times represented by deputy in all of the
courts.
Last fall the County Commissioners. on
examining the salary act, raised the ques-
ton whether or not IL was not the inten-
ton OF the law that all services rendered
by the sheriff in relation to the courts
was fully compensated for BY the salary.
The county attorney investigated the mat
ter, and reached the conclusion that there
was no law which authorized the board TO
make the sheriff allowance for bailiff
attendance ON that court or any other, and
tho board declined 10 make any allowance

strue the new law. The court has had
the matter under advisement several weeks,
his finding being made in a written Opin-
ion. in which he reviewed the laws and
closed with the announcement Of the be-
lief that under the law of 1891 there was
no authority for the commissioners the
Circuit Court TO compensate the sheriff
for bailiffs attendance on them. The ques-
ton is OF considerable Importance to the
sheriff OF this county, who has been in the
habit Of deriving about 1890 year from
the court per diem, Tippecanoe has two
county courts besides that of the commits
sioners. The sheriff Is working under the
salary law during his last term. and the
decision will cut a wide swath in his re-
ceipts- Sheriff GaddiS will not appeal the
case, as he goes out OF office in August.
II the courts in all the counties of Indiana
take a similar view of the law il will make
a material difference TO the ninety-twO
sheriffs in their emoluments. Judge Taylor
does not think the sheriff has any right
whatever to bailiff fees under the law.
