of real estate in North Indianapolis were
involved. Cloud, 1t appears. purchased two
lots of Captain Ritter and after paying
$50 on them, gave a mortgage for the re-
mainder. He failed to pay off the mort
gage, however, n finally had some trou-
BILE with his wife.
AS a settlement of their difficulty the
North Indianapolis real estate was con-
veyed to her. 1t is claimed that Cloud then
came to Captain Ritter and requested him
to foreclose the mortgage on the prop
erty. A suit for foreclosure was brought,
but while 1t was pending. Cloud. it is
claimed, persuaded his wife to deed the
property back to Captain Ritter and as an
inducement for her to do this, he paid her
SIS. 1t is claimed that Cloud then called
on Ritter and requested that he be allowed
to redeem the lots and was told by Ritter
that IL he would pay off the mortgages
within q year ne might have the property.
a year passed and the mortgages were not
paid off. Then. according to the evidence,
Cloud began an action against Ritter for
81, 600 on account of the latter's alleged
failure to keep the terms of a contract.
Judge feathers decided that the plaintiff
did not lave a good case and declined to
allow 1t to go to the jury.

G.. A. R. ENCAMPMENT.
A Preliminary Meeting Held to Make
arrangements

Eight years have passed since the State
Encampment of the Grand Army has been
held In this city. IL has been going about
the State because cities have desired 1t
and because the veterans in some portions
of the State feel that Indianapolis has not
given them the cordial welcome that other
cities have extended.
At the last encampment no city wanted
the annual meeting. Fort Wayne, Evans
Vile, Lafayette, Muncie, South Bend, Rich
mond. Columbus and Terre Haul have
had 1t I'm turn. 1t seems more of q burden
than other cities care to take up at the
pace which has been set. As no other city
wanted the encampment, the indianapolis
delegates invited it to meet in this city.
1t is the desire of citizens and veterans
In this city to have Indianapolis extend a
cordial welcome. That Ii will, when atten-
ton Is called to the matter, there Is no
doubt. Veterans in indianapolis think that
1t Is much better for the city every way
to give the Grand Army's thousands of Wis
itors a cordial welcome than il is to seek
to attract some political or other conven-
ton here to hold its session.
With a view OF securing a proper organ
ization, a number of citizens and veterans
met last evening at Grand Army headquar-
tiers TO take the first steps for an organiza-
ton that will insure a fitting reception of
the State Encampment May 16 and II. Gen.
eral Carnahan was chosen temporary
chairman and u. A. Smith temporary sec
rotary. The sentiment of the meeting was
to ask the public-spirited citizens who are
not veterans to give direction to the organ
ization, so as to make 1t an affair OF the
citizens, rather than the ex-soldiers. To
thai end the following citizens were Sc
lected and requested to act as a committee
to select an executive committee and any
further organization that seemed neces-
sary: d. Nj. Parry, William II. Armstrong,
C. z. Coffin, L. *. Criley. w. E. English,
III. p. Wasson. J.. r. Carnahan and u. A.
Smith. This committee will meet at an
early day.

ago acted as special judge in the city Po-
lice Court. Collier was acting in this ca
pacity on Sept. 10, 1899, and on that date
the plaintiff In the case was convicted OF
the charge of assault and battery on his
wife. Special Judge Collier heard the evil
dence and assessed a fine of 500 against
Small and sent him to the workhouse for
40 days.
Small now brings suit for his release on
the ground that this sentence and fine was
illegal and void. In the argument before
Judge feathers yesterday it was contended
that the police judge has no right to assess
a fine of more than $25 in a case of assault
and battery and cannot add Imprisonment
as a part of the punishment. 1t is asserted
that the jurisdiction of a police judge, un-
der the law, is the same as that Of a JUS
tice Of the peace. Judge feathers indi-
Gated that he was inclined to share the
view of the plaintiffs attorney in this mat
ter and said he woul hold that the plain
tiff Is illegally imprisoned. County At
torney Brown, who appeared for the de-
PENDANTS, said that while he was also in
clined to the belief that the court was in
terpreting the law correctly, he would not
like for the record to show a Judgment
against the defendants until he had time to
investigate the matter more thoroughly.
Both court and attorneys recognized the
Importance OF the questions involved. and
Judge feathers said he would hold the
matter in allegiance until to-day to give
the county attorney an opportunity of ex-
aiming the law. Should the attorney fail
to show the court where 1t is in error in
this case, the plaintiff, Small, will prob
ably be released to-day.

Lieutenant Austin Parker, U. s. A, now
in the Philippine islands, writes home that
he is enjoying the distinction of ruling over
one of the provinces of the island of Luzon
as Governor. He acquired the position
when on Nov. 8 he was sent TO join his
regiment which was stationed some dis
lance north of Manila and from there they
were to make al attack on the natives. On
the approach of the troops the Governor in
charge ran away and left Lieutenant
Parker in charge of the place.
He also writes that all the better class of
natives are anxious to have the United
States assume control of the islands, and
that IL will be n fine place for young men

war has terminated.

ton for damages against George F. Eden
harter, superintendent Of the Central Hos
pital for the Insane, and Franklin NJ.

pital. The plaintiff says hat during the
summer of 1898 he was afflicted with ma

A commission investigated his sanity. and
he was sent to the Insane Hospital for
treatment. He charges that the defend
ants sent him to Ward o." where the
violently insane are kept, instead Of send
ing him where he could have the careful
nursing his condition required.
The plaintiff charges that while he was
in this ward he was set upon by Edward
Brown, one of the attendants. who was
very strong. and badly used. He charges
that he was held by an attendant named
James Prather while Brown assaulted him.
Three of his ribs were broken, he asserts.

the latter refused 10 visit him, and DIR.
Wiles refused to prescribe for him. The

SPOILED HER VOICE.


An Amended Complaint I'm the DAM
age Suit of Harriet III. C~levenger.
An amended complaint has been filed in
the Superior Court in the suit of Harriet
II. Clevenger against John and Philip
Owen, proprietors of the When building.
Miss Clevenger is an actress and formerly
kept a school of elocution in the When
building. When the property was remod-
eled her business was seriously interfered
with. She came dow one morning n
found that the walls of the room had been
torn away. She AYERS she had to stand on
the sidewalk and receive her pupils, who
We're of tender age and required looking
after. The weather was bitterly cold, she
says. She also says that during zero
weather she was compelled to go about the
city and seek another room, and as a result
of the exposure she became afflicted with
throat trouble and her voice was ruined.
She demands $1,000 damages.
The attorney for the defendants filed a
demurrer to this complaint, asserting that
II was Miss ~Clevenger's own fault that she
exposed herself, and she ought not to hold
the defendants responsible for what she
did.
