HAD PLANNED TO ELOPE.
Colin Campbell, if Acquitted. Was Go.
Ing Away with Another Woman.

The demeanor of Colin Campbell has
changed since he was given term of four
years by a jury III the Criminal Court. I'm
til the very last Campbell confident
that he would be acquitted, and had made
all arrangements TO take another young
woman of this city and flee to Canada to
avoid further prosecution and to avoid his
wife. Other prisoners confined in the Jail
have told Sheriff Womack that Campbell
had made arrangements with the young
woman to go to Goshen, where Campbells
wife went after his arrest and to steal
Campbelfs child. The young woman who
is accused of being in with this plot was
present in the court room throughout the
trial of the case against Campbell.
Previous to the trial and during the trial
Campbell wrote to his wife occasionally,
demanding money. One time his wife sent
him five postage stamps and explained
that she had not cent OF money to buy
food for the children. and could not send
him any. She said she had borrowed the
five stamps. Campbell replied to this letter
informing his wife that it was her duty
to provide for the children, and that he
would expect her to do SO.
All this time according to the stories of
other prisoners Campbell was planning to
with another woman. Since the trial he
has written a very different kind of a let
ter to his wife. He pleads for her to re-
main faithful 10 him. and makes promises
of what he will do when he gets his liberty
again.

school teacher in January, 1895. They
came to Indianapolis and rented house on
East South street. Mrs. Baglin had been
suffering for a considerable time and her
Shane and Pfaff, of this city. attended her.
and they stated that her death was be-
yond a doubt caused by peritonitis. Her
relatives were informed by telegraph Of her
dangerous condition several days before
her death. The woman displayed an I'M
usual tenacity of life. the doctors say,
and lived four days longer than they ex-
pected. They say she received every care
and her husband was very devoted and
kind to her.
1t seems there has been some bad feel
ing between BagIin and his wife's rela-
tives. 1t is claimed by them that Lizzie
Rohrman. a niece of Mrs Baglin, who was
with her in her last sickness, has disap-
peared. The Rohrnan girl has been seen
in this city recently.

EAsED UP ON THE POSTAL,
Conduit Contract Modiied-NO Word
from Phoenix Franchise.

At last the Postal Telegraph Company
has completed its arrangements with the
city for the burial of its wires and the
work will proceed Immediately. The COM
pany is to furnish the city two wires in it's
cables and is to give the city a frank for
kilograms, to the amount of SIS annually.
This new contract has been sent to the
officers of the company for ratification and
it is thought by the city administration
that it will be accepted by the Council. In
the meantime there is no new development
in regard to the contract with the West
ern Union. 1t was sent East to the Off
GERS of the company long time ago, and
has never been heard from since.
There is a growing suspicion that all is
not right with the Phoenix company's
franchise. 1t has now been in the hands
of the Council committee for many weeks.
yet it remains there with little chance of
resurrection. When it was referred to the
committee the chairman was asked what
would be done with 1t. His reply was that
he could not tell; that it was so long that
it would not do to act upon it without
due consideration. The contract with the
Central Union company fully as long
as the other and of as much or more i'm
portance. yet it was acted upon and ac-
cepted by the Council with little delay.

THE BROOKS ESTATE.
An indianapolis Son Who Claims 1t
Tells u Strange story.

Bartholomew D. Brooks, of West Indian
apolis has gone to Shelbyville to claim
the estate recently left by the death of
John n. Clark. Brooks says he is the only
lawful son of Clark. whose real name was
Brooks. The story is that many years ago,
when Brooks was a small boy, his father
got into trouble over some business deal
ing in New Jersey and had to leave that
State He came West and went to IlIi-
nois He correspondent with his wife, who
later came TO join him. When she arrived
in Indiana, where Clark had afterward
moved, she found that he had married an
other woman in Illinois. Mrs. Brooks said
nothing. either not caring to have the pub
licity of exposing her husband. or prefer
ring to suffer rather than cause the man
she had loved to be sent to prison. Clark
later moved to Shelbyville with his Illinois
wife and died a short time ago, leaving
considerable property. Brooks had visited
him several times in Shelbyville and was
always received as a son. The strange part
of the story is that both wives knew of
the existence of the other. Brooks has
gone to claim the estate and says that he
will have no trouble in proving that he is
the lawful heir.

SUBURBAN RIVALRY.
West indianapolis Urchins Punish
HaughviiIe Prisoner.

Two West Indianapolis urchins named
Rupity and Boik caught a Haughville boy
in West indianapolis yesterday afternoon
and tied him to the engine at Elevator A
in retaliation for having been run out of
Haughville by their prisoner and his crowd
A citizen however heard of what they had
done and telephoned for the police, and
the boys in turn hearing that the police
were coming to investigate, FASTENED back
to their prisoner and turned him loose, and
when Chief Massing arrived at the elevator
no one was to be found. 1t is claimed that
as he was released, in order to avoid testi-
flying against his captors.
The cottage home of Josiah Kennedy, To-
Gated on Concord street, Haughville was
totally destroyed by fire about midnight
Wednesday. A Big Four engineer dis
covered the fire. turned in the alarm and
probably saved the lives of the inmates by
arouSing them, for when the engineer sue
ceeded in doing this the house was nearly
enVeloped in flames, and the father was
compelled to jump from a window with q
child in his arms. The house was insured
for $3.50, blu the furniture, which was also
destroyed was not protected by insurance.
The hose of the suburbs's fire department
was not long enough to reach the fire.
The citizens of Haughville express them
selves as well pleased with the way in
the fire call sent in Wednesday night, when
the Moore planning mill burned.
George w Grubbs of Martinsville, will
discuss the political issues at the Town
Hall, in Haughville, tonight at O'Clock.

Raving from Cocaine.

Stella Washington, colored, living at 164
Usage street, took a large dose of cocaine
late Wednesday night, which came very
near ending her life. The woman, who is
only twenty-one years old, has been hav-
ing trouble with her husband and for the
last three or four days has been taking
small quantities of the drug. Wednesday
night at about II o'clock, after obtaining
a quantity of the stuff, she took it all. In
a very short time she was a raving maniac,
destroying everything she could lay her
hands on. The Dispensary physicians We're
notified. After working with her the rest
of the night they succeeded in bringing
her to consciousness. The woman took
about five grains of the deadly drug,
enough TO ordinarily cause death.
