Three Alleged Murderers Caught Soon
After the Killing of Watchman.
Auburn, Ind, Nov. 2S.-Bloodhounds
were successful in running down the
murderers of Night Policeman Enos
Rath of Hicksville, and as result Ed
Johnson. Floyd Rumbaugh. and Frank
Zuber are in Jail at Defiance. Soon
after the murder bloodhounds were
put on the scent and the murderers
tracked to Antwerp, nearby town.
Zuber was found in haymow by the
hounds and the others on the streets.
Johnson showed fight but was soon
subdued.
A pair of pipe tongs and a screw
driver stolen from the electric-light
plant were found under the walk near
where the murder took place, and
were probably the instruments used
in beating Rath to death. Excitement
is high in Hicksville and Antwerp and
extra precaution is being taken to pre-
vent a lynching, as there is loud talk
Of thus dealing with the murderers.

an attempt said to have been made to

Misgive that you may not mis-
take. T..
Nothing is harmless that is mistak-
en- for virtue.
He that is not open for conviction is
not qualified for discussion.
The dread Of inconsistency must
never be suffered to swallow up the
dread of error.
We must always think our opinions
are right, but not think our opinions
are right always.
Though not always called upon to
condemn ourselves, it is always safe
to suspect ourselves.
The next best thing to understand
ing the whole of any subject is to be
aware of that part of it we do not
understand.
A confident expectation that no ar
gument will be adduced that will
change our opinions is very different
from resolution, that none ever
shall.
Falsehood, like poison, will general
ly be rejected when admitted alone,
but, when blended with wholesome in
gradients, may be swallowed unper-
ceived.
The more disposed any one is to sub
missive veneration the greater the i'm
portance Of guarding him against mis-
directed veneration against false
piety; against receiving as divine what
in reality is human.
The old proverb,- "a fool can ask
more questions than wise man can
answer" may very fairly have this
added as rider to it: "a wise man
cannot. ask more questions than he
will find fools ready to answer"
