county soldiers. a few years ago. by ac-
cident. met on one Sabbath afternoon in
Harrison's Grove. one mile east of Fish
er's Station. They were eating watermelon
upon that occasion. when it was proposed
that the soldiers be denominated the
Watermelon Brigade. Since that time the
organization has grown until it is one OF
the most formidable soldier organizations
in the county. Their meeting yesterday
was attended by at least 5000 people. and
the greatest interest was manifested by the
spectators. An address of welcome was
delivered by Commander Caylor. and re-
sponded to by a son OF a veteran. jobs
Carver. Speeches were made by Senator
Boyd, DR.. A. X. Tucker, A. b. Farmer,
Hon. Joel Stafford and others. Great APP
plause followed on adjournment of the
meeting. when ii was announced by John
Harrison, the gentleman who owns the
grove. that he did not expect to be here
much longer, but on account of the graft
tude in his heart for soldiers living and sol
diers dead he had. by his will. provided
that for all time to come the soldiers. their
children and all future generations should
have the right to occupy and use the
grounds for patriotic purposes. Mr.. Har-
rison also announced that he intended
spending some of his wealth in improving
and identifying the grounds. The soldiers
everywhere in the county are expressing
their gratitude toward Mr.. Harrison for
this generous donation. Mr.. Harrison is
one of the wealthiest and influential farm
ers in the county.

Business to Come Up.

Evans Woollen held another conference
with W. ID. Bynum yesterday relative to
the meeting of the National Democratic
sound-money committee Friday. Instead
of at the Denison Hotel. the committee
will meet in the assembly room of the club
at 2 p. m. Mr.. Woollen has a list of pro-
visional committeemen who have been
selected in the different States to attend
the meeting. He is sending them copies of
Indianapolis papers showing what accom-
mOdations can be offered and writing them
personal letters. urging that indianapolis
be selected as the place for holding the
convention. Until the committee meets
Friday, but little remains to be done to-
wards securing the convention. The Com
mercial Club is prepared to show that the
hotels can accommodate all delegates, rep
resentatives of the press and others Off
cially connected with the convention. and
that all expenses will be paid out of the
fund which has been pledged. 1t has been
believed for a week past that Indianapolis
will be selected without doubt.
Albert Lieber, chairman of the COM
mittee on assemblages. and Secretary
woollen have selected the following we'll
known business and professional men to
appear before the national committee:
Justus c. Adams, president Of the Board of
Trade; Charles w. Fairbanks, John A.
Finch, w. G.. Bobbs, NJ. A. Downing (pres-
ident of the Board of Public Works.. ]. p.

committee is formed without reference to
politics and contaios the names of men who
have been prominently identified will both
the Republican and Democratic parties.
AT the meeting of the Board of Trade
governors last night. upon the motion of
George q. Taner, President j. c. Adams
appointed a committee to cooperate with
the Commercial Club committee. George CT.
Tanner. chairman; r. o. Hawkins. o. n.
Frenzel. L. s. Gordon and j. f. McGettigan
constitute the committee. The joint COM
mittee will meet at the Commercial Club
Friday afternoon and escort the
members of the national committee
about the city in carriages. 1t is
probable that the principal hotels and Tom
linson Hall will be visited, in order that an
idea what the city has to offer can be
shown to the committee. 1t Is presumed
that the question OF selecting the place for
holding the national convention will be the
last thing considered. President Adams in
formed the governors last night that he tel
egraphed the chairman of the national COM
mittee last week urging that the conven-
tiOn he held here.

the child was found in paroXysms. She

through the right side and one of the rob-
bers was also shot through the side.
while the other was captured by
the Halls. The shooting was wit
messed by several people. who at once
raised an alarm and in a short time several
hundred farmers. armed with rifles. shot
guns and r~evolvers. started in pursuit.

and went to the scene with a posse. Sher-
if Clausner. of Fort Wayne, also went to
the scene with a dozen deputies. Blood
hounds were secured from La Otto and to-
night the man hunt still continues. al

SCOTTSBURG, Ind Aug. 3.-Yesterday
the seventy-eighth anniversary of the foun-
dation of the M. E. Church at Pisgah, two
miles east of Deputy. Jefferson county, was
suitably observed. Rev. d. A. Robertson,
who was one of the early members of the
church class" delivered an interesting
and entertaining sermon. in which he dwelt
at some length upon the historical facts
connected with the organization and sub
sequent life of the ''Old Pisgah Organiza-
tion.' The church building was crowded
to its utmost capacity. Rev. Robertson
read a list of the class" or church mem
bership of 1918. which included the names
of some of the earliest settlers in that sec
ton. In the list were the names of Lewis.
robertson, Phillips. Stewart, WhitSitt,
Roseberry and others. A copy of the con-
tract for the erection of the old log meet
ing house was read by Samuel Wilson. Mr..
Lewis Blake explained TO the assemblage
that in those days houses of worship were
called meeting houses and he gave a
GRAPHIC description of the log meeting
house describing infinitely the construc-
ton of the great fire place. which was near
ten feet across. 1t was in this neighbour
hood that one of the frontier block houses
was constructed. where the people congre-
gated for safety when an Indian outbreak
was threatened. A brief description of
this block house was given by Daniel Whit
slit. Many Of the old persons of hat vi
cinity gave brief histories of their early
life and recited many of the exciting times
through which the earlier settlers had
passed. A choir composed of forty or fifty
of the oldest citizens sang the old song.

TAKING QUARTERS AT HOTELS.
Big Crowd from East Coming Here
Next Friday.

w. d. Bynum arrived home from Chicago
yesterday and proceeded with the local ar
engagements for the reception of the exec
utive committee of the sound-money Dem
ocratic organization. He wired the chair
man. General Bragg. that the Commercial
Club had rendered its clubroom for the
meetings of the committee.
In talking of candidates yesterday Mr..
Bynum predicted that the ticket would be
composed of either General Bragg, of Wis
consin. Palmer. of Illinois. or Carlisle. with
some such man as Gordon or other South
ern Sound-money Democrat for second
place. He said the references to himself
had been made by newspapers on their own
suggestion and not through his. He gave
no intimation that he was seeking the high
honor.
Manager Cullen. of the Denison. received
word yesterday that the Reform Club of
New York wanted quarters for twenty per-
sons. He said that General Bragg and
party of fifty had secured quarters there,
as has also Charles Tracy. of Albany. n.
Y, the leader of the New York delegation.

The second was that of Cousuelo Vander-

be recalled that the latter insisted on hav-

father. William X. Vanderbilt. As no seat
was allotted to the latter. he did not wait

this combination of letters seems fateful
in the family. as the big marriage has
been made by "Consuelo."

Bourke Cochran Supplements Hi
First Radical Interview.

NEW YORK. Aug. 3.-The Hon. Bourke
Cochran. when asked to-day if he would
support a third ticket If one were nomi-
mated. Notwithstanding the views expressed
in his interview published to-day. said:
IF a convention be held. at which all
Democrats can be represented. who. be-
lieving that the party has been betrayed
at Chicago, are determined that it's prin-
ciples shall not perish for lack of efficient
organization. and If a free interchange of
opinion be had among its members, I should
be strongly inclined to accept its decision.
whatever it might be- I think it more i'm
portant that the Democratic opponents of
Mr.. Bryan should be united in one move
ment than that any particular form of CO.
opposition should be adopted"
by the way said Mr.. Cochran. "in the

nominate candidates for State officers. for
