Cutting scrape at Corydon.

Joseph Fitzgerald seriously wounded
William Blagg on Monday evening in
two places with knife. The cause of
the fracas was that Mr.. Fitzgerald was
drinking to certain extent and little
noisy. Blagg informed the marshal
who went to Fitzgerald and told him
complaint had been made against him.
Some say he told him Blagg was the
informant, but whether that was the
case or not Fitzgerald accused Blagg of
it and he admitted. Fitzgerald then
abused him terribly callinghim all kinds
of names and swearing he had been
ostracised and would cut some ones
heart out. Blagg said he would cut no
one and that only towards used knife
and then advanced towards him and
put his hand on his shoulder. At this
Fitzgerald whipped out his knife and
did the cutting. There were two
wounds, one cash on back of left arm
just about the elbow almost severing the
tendon. The other wound is in the left
side the knife penetrating some two
inches and striking RIB which probably
saved his life. The wounds were both
made at one lunge and the fracas &C.
Cured on the north side of the square.
Marshal Boswell arrested Fitzgerald on
charge of assault with intent to kill.
He was taken before Mayor Evans who
decided he had no jurisdiction and he
was then taken before Justice Blakely,
who placed him under $4,000 bonds for
appearance before the grand jury, MIRO.
w. Steele going on his bond. Blagg start
ed to go to physician but became weak
from loss of bio I'd after walking short
distance. He was taken home on
stretcher and Drs. Shipley and Howard
called. They did not think the wounds
would be fatal unless inflammation set in.
At this time Wednesday evening Blagg
is resting easily and it is thought will
soon recover, it was however close

DR.. L. e. Pickett Dead.

DR.. L. E. Pickett died at his home on
West Third street Tuesday night at
ll:45. On Wednesday, April 2, he was
hrst confined to his bed, although he
mad been a very sick man for two or
three weeks before that, but with his
usual energy wouldn't give up until
forced to. The disease was pronounced
malarial typhoid fever about one week
ago and every means known to medical
science were used to check the awful
disease, but to no avail. DIR. Pickett
came to Lineville in 1897 and since that
time, by close attention to practice, his
wonderful energy, his skill as physi-
clan and surgeon and his strict honor
and integrity, won himself an enviable
reputation as physician and surgeon,
an envlable place in the hearts of our
people. Not since the death of DR.. John
Glendenning has our entire people felt
SO keenly their loss. In June, 1901, the
deceased was married to Miss Lena Ell.
son and since her only aim has been to
please him and her devotion ever since
their wedding has been something re-.
markable, she living only for him and
his interests and to help him and cheer
him in his unceasing labor and it is one
OF Gods unexplainable mysteries that
one 30 young, so good and so useful to
an entire community should be cut off
in such an untimely manner. Next
week we hope to have more extended
notice, inviting his fellow doctors and
practitioners to write tributes to his
memory. The funeral will be held at
the N. E. Church South.-Lineville

CdutionI

This is not gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase for 75c the only remedy universal
ly known and a remedy that has had
the largest sale of any medicine in the
world since 1868 for the cure and treat
ment OF Consumption and Throat and
Lung trouble without losing its great
popularity all these years, you will be
thankful we called your attention to
Boschee's German Syrup. There are so
many ordinary cough remedies made by
druggists and others that are cheap and
good for light colds perhaps, but for Sc
we're Coughs, Bronchitis, Croup-and
especially for Consumption, where there
is difficult expectoration and coughing
during the nights and mornings, there
is nothing like German Syrup. Sold by

Elder E. A. Goodwin and Miss Hattie
B. Palmer, the latter of East Saginaw,
Mich, were to have been married in La
moni last Sunday morning, But the
bride failing to appear inquiry devel-
oped the fact that Miss Palmer had left
her home bound for Lamont, on Tues
day, April s, and this is the last word
from her to date. Leaving Saginaw
when she did she was due in Chicago
Wednesday morning. Whether or not
she arrived there at that time is not GER
tainly known, but a young girl was
killed in Chicago on that very morning,
and being unidentified, was turned over
to the Young Ladies' Christian Associa-
ton for burial, and it is surmised that
this may have been Miss Palmer. The
case is very sad one and the deepest
sympathy is felt for her lover, sister and
mother, who were all here when the first
news of the loss came.-Lamoni Patriot.
