Nancy Trimble's Damage Suit.
Snecial to the IndianapoliS journal

special TO the Indianapolis journal.
KOKOMO Ind, Jan. 6.-The fling of
the $1,000 damage suit of Nancy Trimble
of Greensburg, against Edward and George
Trimble, in the Howard Circuit Court, a.
week ago, is regarded with peculiar in
terest here. In the complaint filed by Dean
& Dean, of Windfall, the defendants are
accused of procuring $1,000 from plaintiff
through false pretenses. claiming that ow-
ing to the advanced age and physical and
mental weakness of plaintiff, aged seventy
six, and her husband, James Trimble, aged
eighty-four, defendants. through superior
mental strength, obtained this money they
had in bank and gave nothing in return.
The defendants, who reside in Upton
county, strenuously deny every allegation
and declare that a trial will clearly show
them innocent. They have not made
known their defense, but those who have
been supposing the allegations true, are
liable to be surprised. There are those
who believe that the aged plaintiffs are
not responsible for the complaint. in all
it's details and that trial will refute the
charges and completely vindicate the de-

ELWOOD PICKINGS.
Scheme for Protecting the Supply of
CASA Womun's Fall.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ELWOOD, Ind, Jan. 6.-There is a prof.
ect to extend the corporate limits of Ell
wood by taking in all of Pipe Creek town
ship, the town of Alexandria and all of
Monroe township, as these two townships
join each other and form a belt across the
county. The scheme is to place this belt
under municipal control in order to pre-
vent outside gas companies from operating
in its limits, and thus further prevent the
draining of the natural-gas supply. A. c.
Carver, of Alexandria, is at the head of
the scheme, and feels confident of success.
The plant of the National buggy and BIZ
cycle works has been located at Frankton.
The plant will employ 2o0 men and be To-

Mrs. Mcbride, of Elwood fell on an icy

ture of her right arm above the elbow, the

Elwood is to soon have free mail deliv-
.ery, as the. postoff1ce receipts for the quar-
ter just ended lack only S1.33 of being the
required average necessary to secure it.
Indications that the prize fighters
reign in this city is about at end and
that more healthy condition of moral SEN
timent is to take it's place. A movement
is ON foot to place all those who partci-
pated in the recent prize fight between Jake
Dewitt and kid ODonnell under arrest
and break up the gang that has long

his audience. They were moved to tears
when he gave them "Sweet Home" and
"Suwanee River" brought forth rounds
of applause. Then Father Downing
again consulted his watch-which he
had forgotten in his enthusiasm-and
stopped the music to say hastily:
'Something has happened to them
two! | bet that horse has run aWaX."
The girls looked at one another.
They were frightened, and like their
father believed there had been rum
away. But they exonerated the horse.
In the moonlight and distance the
two lovers had crossed ten miles Of ter
ritory, and neither had thought of the
violin. They had taken sweet draughts
of pleasure from each others eyes, and
made up for lost time by exchanging
condolences about their future. .tnd
then Bay Dick turned into a lane that
led to house that was lighted as if for
company.
It was the parsonage of the church in
that parish and the minister himself
stod in the doorway to welcome his
callers. Ipresume he had been informed
beforehand of the service he was ex-
pected to perform, and his wife and
daughter were on hand as witnesses,
and when his two visitors left he was
richer by a liberal fee. and West Rob-
ertson was possessed of a wife. And
Bay Dick went back to the Downing
homestead as if he had wings to his
feet.
The whole family and the visitors
| crowded down to the gate, and Father
Downing, treasured by the safe return
of the truants, asked, sarcastically:
"Haow fur could We hear Hosea play

"Clear to the Minister'S" said West

'Iaow fur could We hear the vi'lin,

! And then Hosea ,Jr.. came to the rescue
with what he called "chune" TO the Oc-
casion, which was composite Of
Haste to the Wedding" and several
other melodies, and his father was
"called off. and if he did not forgive the
runaways he made no demonstration Of
enmity. He had been fairly beaten in

deed, to his doting family he was far
more, for the only son insa family Of
girls is always paragon. 1t matters
very little whether he has wooden
heart or not, for any endowment OF
natural sense which he may have to
begin with will be fondled out Of him
by the injudicious attentions Of his
womankind. The most brilliant youth
becomes vapid under such treatment,
and Hosea was no exception to the rule.
West Robertson had driven over from
his home, although he felt as if he had
been transported on the wings Of love.
1t was, however, his favorite roadster,
Bay Dick, who did the transporting in
natty C-spring buggy, built for two.
The turnout was hitched at the gate,
awaiting Mr.. Robertson's pleasure. 1t
was noticing the ring that gave Father
Downing an idea.
"Robcrtson," he said, in friendly
way, Jump into your buggy and drive
down the road piece, and See haoW

people, as potent as that of the ancient

| Father Downing had no time to inter-
pose objections until the two were out
of hearing, bay Dick flying with them
down the road like a streak Of shadow
in the silver moonlight. West Robert
son held the reins taut in his right
hand. while his left arm stole about
! Maud's trim waist, and two young
heads inclined inn0ccntIy toward each
| other, and if the fiddle squeaked they
did not hear it. What they did hear
was the music of the whole orchestra
Of love.
Meanwhile Father Downing sat with
his watch in his hand and timed the two
who were supposed to be doing their
whole duty as listeners. Hosea played
that violin as that instrument had never
been played before or since. If his play

that of the founder of his school, it had
both audacity and excitement. His

It was the drug clerks turn to tell story
of one Of his experiences, and the reporter,
expecting something good, as usual settled
himself comfortably in a chair, prepared to

Downing thought he knew better than
the girl what sort of a husband she
wanted, and he interfered. Besides,
young Robertson's grandfather had
once gotten the better of him in law
ease, and. like the typical Scotchman,
Downing had been nursing his wrath
all these years to keep it warm. The
fiddle proved greater pacitier than the
Gospel. West Robertson was invited as
a Virtuoso to give Hosea, ,Jr, some help

left off counting the girl it gave him the
opportunity he coveted of seeing her

quainted with his son, Hosea Second,
will bear witness to the truth of the
statement and authenticate the value
of the wooden head. 1t was particular
ly noticeable from the fact that the vio-
linist was the only freak in the family,
excepting the old man himself, the
girls being bright, pretty damsels, who
were quite the bellies of the county.
But Father Downing had great faith in
the possibilities of the boy he had
handicapped with his own name and
idiosyncrasies. And now that he had
manufactured musical instrument he
looked upon him as a newlyfedged
genius.
All the neighbors were invited to hear
Hosea, Jr., play such aiAs as his limited
knowledge of music PEI united, and it is
fact that several neighborhood ven
dettas were lured to a pcaceable ending
by the youths discordant playing,
which passed among the tuneless and
tone-deaf as the sublime efforts of
genius. and those who were educated
cut of that sphere We're glad, for peace's
sake, to listen attentively and applaud
without stint. Like all domestic bigots
Hosea pere had his weak side, but it
had not been properly appreciated un-
til now. The awakening of his soul to
the influence of the "heavenly maid
was but the prelude to another awak-
ening of much more Importance to tbs
pair interested.
1t happened that the only other young
man who owned violin in the district
and attempted to play it had been igno-
mniously dismissed from the Downing
fanny for attentions to the pretty and
sensible eldest daughter, Maud, who re
turned his affection with her whole
heart and soul. There was no earthly
reason why the young man would no.
