Time 1t SANDERS an Honored
Indiana Educator.
NOTE FROM DR.. D. w. FISHER
DENYING THAT HE HAS .NDoRsED
BRYAN AND FREE SILVER.
On the Contrary, the President of
Hanover College LIS Strongly in
Favor of sound Money.

The Indianapolis Sentinel, in its efforts to
outrival Ananias. continues its free coinage
or campaign lies with the utter disregard
OF consequences sometimes displayed by
criminals. The latest victim of It's false
hoods is one of the foremost educators in
the Stated. w. Fisher, ID. ID. LII. D.,
president of Hanover College. On Saturday
the Sentinel published the following alleged
special dispatch from Madison. Ind:
"A committee acting for the local Bryan
Iree-sllVer club, has extended an invitation
to President Fisher, of Hanover College, to
speak before the clubs members Sept. 10.
President Fisher recently delivered a most
excellent address in favor oi free silver in
the town hall of Hanover. and his many
friends are anxious to hear him address
larger audience. He has been a lifelong
Republican but openly declares in favor of
the Chicago platform, and says he con-
slders it part of his duty to use his in
fuence toward successful result by the
election OF Mr.. Bryan. As the fall term of
Hanover College will open in about one
week the local silver club will be fortunate
If President Fisher can spare the time for
an address to its many ms mbers. 1t is re-
ported that in case President Fisner con-
sents to address the Club notice will be
sent ali prospective students to come and
near the address OF their popular presi
dent
The statements in The above special have
no foundation and are lies from beginning
to end. Recently President Fisher made an
abe address &fains- the free coinage of
silver, taking decided stand in favor of
honest money. Yesterday the following
note was received from him:
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
What conceivable motive any person
could have had in publishing the monstrous
falsehood which appeared in the Sentinel
on saturday last to my attitude on the
pending money question / cannot under

it. My views have been published and re-
main as they were. Your very truly.

No further comments on the Sentnels
special are necessary. The gauziness OF
the Rising Sun fake and the Hanover lie
show that the fool-kiler has job yet I'M

TAUGHT A GOOD LESSON
ROBBERS WILL STEER CLEAR OF
ENGINEER INGLES HEREAFTER.
A Nervy Mans Account of How He
Settled "a Bandit Who Was Hold
ing Up His Train.

SACRAMENTO Cal. Sept. 6.-An attempt
was made last night to hold up the overland
express train at Webster, six miles west of
this city. The engine was in charge of en-
gineer F. Ingles and fireman Patrick Burns.
AS the train approached Webster, six miles
west of here. man crawled over the ten
der and, covering the engineer and fireman
with a pistol, compelled them to stop the
train. The man guarded the engineer, while
an accomplice who had been in waiting.
started back to rob the train. Engineer In
giles, seeing his captor off guard, shot him
dead and ran the train into Sacramento. A
large force of men Is securing the country
in search of the escaped robber. The train
was crowded with passengers and there was
a large amount of money in the express
car.
The body of the train robber who was
shot was found lying this morning near the
track. In his hand was grasped a loaded
pistol. The mans name is thought to be
F. J. Morgan and he probably came from
San Francisco
Engineer Ingles in speaking of his adven-
ture said: THE conductor and brakeman
came out on the platform of one of the
cars to see where the train had stopped.
One of the robbers shot at them twice with
his revolver, and with a string of oaths or
dered them back into the train. At the
sound of the shooting the robber with me
on the engine stepped to the side between
the cab and tender and looked back. He
turned his back TO me. That was my op-
portunity and 1 lost no time in taking ad-
vantage of it. I reached down into my
locker, got my revolver and shot him in the
back. 1 shot again and he pitched forward
from the engine to the earth and rolled
down the bank. Then 1 pulled the throttle
wide open.''

OHIO COUNTY LIES.
They Were Started by Democrats,
Who Used u hoy as Their Tool.


who Used Boy as Their Tool.
To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Our citizens have been receiving letters
from all over Indiana and other States
seeking information in regard to the re-
ported influx of Republicans to the Bryan
free-silver ranks in this county. The writer
of this article being the recipient Of large
number of the letters. has quietly been
sitting the falsehoods and hunting down
the authors until at last he can prove be-
fore a jury who wrote the lies from Rising
Sun to the Indianapolis Sentinel
The letters were all of Democratic origin
The story that boy wrote them is false.
The boy undoubtedly sent the manuscript
to the Sentinel in his own hand writing
but he did not compose single line of the
articles, for, as everyone knows In this vi
cinity, he is not competent to do so. The
story about the Bryan Republican club was
started by John l.. Davis at GreensbGrg
Ind, who is son of r. G.. Davis chairman
of the Ohio county Democratic committee.
This son had, short time before, visited
Rising Sun. and when he returned to
Greensburg said In a speech that he had
just visited his old home and that Repub-
lcan Bryan club of fifty members had been
organized at that place. TIE Republican
official organ the Rising Sun Recorder, inn
mediatey denounced the report as a false
hood, and then the boys father rushed into
print in the Democratic mouth-piece OF
OHIO county, the Local and said that the
was no Bryan club at Rising Sun. and that
there were no fifty Bryan Republicans in
Rising Sun or ohio county. Then about ten
days later this same Democratic chairman
of Ohio county. r. G.. Davis, seeing that he
was in tight pace, made himself ridic-
ulous by saying. through the Recorder, that
no ''free-silver club existed In Ohio county,
and that the whole thing was fairy tale"
So ii can easily be seen by the readers Of
the Journal where these free-silver lies
started-right with the Democratic chair
man of Ohio county and his son, Il lawyer,
at Creensburg, Ind. The boy, James Il.
Craft who has acknowledged that he wrote
the articles (but who didn'D. was lately
law student under X. G.. Davis, and is now
employed by ]. +. Hemphil known as tho
"Benedict Arnold in Ohio county politics,
so YOU can see what influence this boy is
under He was simply brought out to throw
the responsibility Of these Democratic lies
upon after the prevaricators got in tight
hole.
Ohio county can be depended on to give
the largest ma torfty for Mckinley ever
given the Republicans There only six
Republican free siIverites in the county AND
five Of them were never true blues. while.
on the other hand thirty-five Democrats in
the county will vote for Mckinley and
many more formerly well Known active
Democratic workers refuse 70 t2lk free
silver Ohio county will give the Repub-
Ucans $50 votes the Bryan ticket $50 and the
National Democrat 100 votes.

there was a war with Japan and that the
