INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Oct. 3l.-"Is a
kiss kiss or a ground for civil action
OF Just plain assault and battery"
In solemn conelave met the supreme
court Of the state Of Indiana is TO be
called npon to decide this momentous
question.
The paramount question involved il
whether man, when he kisses an un-
willing maiden, commits an assault OF
merely lays himself liable to civil &C.
tion. The case is now being heard by
the Putnam county circuit court but
the plaintiff, Lizzie Murray, a comely
maiden, and the defendant, Frank
Pefiley, both declare that no matter
what decision isreached, the case will
be appealed.
Miss Murray, who brought the ae-
tion, alleges that Peffiey, though he
denies that he ever did anything 50
rash, kissed her while she was looking
into the window Of the post once at
Russelville. She says she considers
his action an oifense that belongs 10
the same category as does the crime Of
striking a man with a club. Pefiiey,
in answer 10 the charge, says that the
kiss was not an assault and battery,
and that II the decision Of the justice
court that fined him on the infOlua-
ti0n is sustained By the circuit bench,
be will appeal 10 the supreme court.
Miss Murray is likewise determined
10 carry the litigation higher II neces-
saFy. No damages are asked for.

IN BATTLE FOR CORN.
Twenty People Severely Wounded in
a Mexican Town-The Warehouse
GUARDS Shoot Down Women
and Children

lCSAN ANTONIO, TEX, Oct. 30.-News
reached this city to-day Of a terrible
bread riot in the town Of Puruandias,
Michoacan, Mexico, october 2s, in
which twenty people were wounded,
many Of whom viii die. The riot is a
result Of the corn famine which has
prevailed in that part Of Mexico for
months and the action Of mOnopolists
in advancing the price OF corn to a
figure that prevented the poorer
classes purchasing enough for their
needs.
Some time hack the Mexican gov
eminent, on account Of the famine,
removed the duty on corn from the
United States, and shipments from
the states for a time to relieve the
situation.
Spectators, however, got hold Of
an the corn shipped in the Puruandias
district and at once advanced the
price 100 per cent. The people stood
this until driven TO the verge Of star
yatiOn, and then organized for a raid
on the grain warehouses Of the mo-
nopolists, who, bein appraised Of the
movement, had armed men stationed
in the warehouses TO resist any attack
made on them.
The natives, many Of them being
women and children, advanced ON the
corn ware houses ia a body, crying
tPan Dread pan, pan, and assaulted
the baricaded doors, finally breaking
them in. As the doors gave way the
hungry and gaunt people rushed in
and were met by second yolley, before
which.a number went down wounded.
This did not serve to stop the mob,
and a second yolley was fired that was
50 effective that the rioters retreated,
leaving twenty Of their number in the
warehouse, several Of them being
women, four children and nine men.
The women and children were in
the front and received the worst Of
the firing. Purandias is fifty miles
from railroad, and the last reports
from the place we're that the situation
was critical and more bloodshed was
probable.
The people are desperate from hun
ger and viii resort to any measure tS
