Judge Ryland sentenced ten men to
the penitentlary Monday and one to the
reform school. OF the eleven eight are

1t is said that Riley Hall is to speak
in Lafayette county soon and also Fred
w. Lehman, the Wabash attorney.
Both of these gentlemen are going to
talk bonds, retirement of the green
backs and the single gold standard.
Lehman is a good man and a good
talker, but the day when Riley Hall had
the confidence of Lafayette is gone
forever. Turncoats like Riley can
talk in the county all they desire, but
they can't make converts.
