MADE INSANE BY FRIGHT.
Young Knox County Farmer, Who
Was Assaulted by Robbers.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
VINCENNES, Ind, March 26.-Three
years ago Willis Bowman was the victim
of would-be robbers, and was so thoroughly
frightened that a severe illness followed
and he nearly lost his life. He is a pros
porous farmer in the lower end of Knox
county, and lives alone in a log cabin. One
night recently robbers again attempted to
rob him in his cabin, and he became wholly
insane and is now incurable.
He has been so violent since Monday. in
imaginary fights with robbers, that he must
be closely guarded. Last night, on the war
rant of Trustee Perry Cunningham, Sheriffs
Louis c. Summit and Frank Byers found
Bowman in his cabin and brought him
here to Jail. To-day a jury in Justice f. A.
Baecher's court found Bowman too violent
to be at large, and he will be sent to Evans
vile Asylum. He is a young and wealthy
farmer and unmarried.

buy a farm that Bowman was waylaid on
the train. chased across fields, fired al
and almost killed by exhaustion and fright.
by former companions, who tried to get
$1,000 he carried on his person with which
to buy a farm.

FOR EVANS.
The Pension Commissioner Has the
of the COmmunity.

New Orleans TlmeS-Democrat
The country at large will be sorry TO hear
this talk, which seems to be w~ell-founded,
about the pension commissioners retire
ment. Although he would continue To-
serve his country with faithfulness and
success in a diplomatic mission 1t is not
i'm a Diplomatic position that his country
men would like TO see him. Where they
would like to see him is-where he IS. where
he has been for five years, and where he
has administered pension affairs with I'M
precedented evenhandedness and ability.
He has scrupulously carried out the pen
zion laws of Congress. not only in the let
Ter. but also in the spirit; but while he has
been prompt and gracious in seeing that
deserving veterans got their due. he has
stood a lion in the path OF the bum claim
ant and the shark attorney in their brazen
attempts to raid the treasury. Nor has he
been in the least degree dismayed. The
howls OF the shark attorneys and bum
claimants have not disturbed him: the loud
and angry clamOrs of the G.. A. r. have
not made him moult a feather
And now, unless he be determined uDon IL
himself. il would be a woeful pity to see
him leave that sphere. of public service in
which ne has achieved such distinguish
success. II he have made up his mind To-
go. that, of course, ends the matter: there
will be no wish 10 retain him where he does
not wish 10 remain. But II IL be merely
from a fear that his unpopularity with an
insignificant section OF the American Deo-
pie may be in any degree detrimental 10
the present administration that he has
talked OF retiring. he should be treasured
on that score and induced TO continue at
the Pension Office. Mckinley had much
more 10 fear from the commissioner un-
popularity with the @. a. II. thar Roose-
Welt has. for il was during the six months
preceding November, 1900, that their at
lacks on Mr.. Evans were specially bitter
and rancorous. and McKinley's reelection.

his retention OF the pension commissioners

SMALLPOX AT FORT WAYNE.
Victims Recently V~accinated-A Wom-
an Breaks the Quarantine.

Special 10 the indianapolis Journal
FORT WAYNE, Ind, March 26.-Mrs. w.
NJ. McCaughey. wife Of the former secre-
tary Of the Y. NJ. c.. a. here. gave the city
health officers a severe shock this morning.
She had been visiting the family Of Alfred
&. Grindle. the well-known architect, on
West Berry street. for a couple of weeks.
on Sunday the Grindle home was quaran-
tined because of the sickness of the seven
year-old son with smallpox. Mr.. Grindle
had himself thoroughly disinfected. and
because of the press of business moved to
a downtown hotel. only holding m
cation with the family through the plate
glass window. Mrs. McCaughey, however,
got tired OF the Imprisonment, and last
night packed up her baggage and deliber-
ately violated the quarantine rules by tax
ing a train out of town for her home In
officers knew of her departure. She took
no precautions as TO disinfectiOn before
she left. The health officers do not know
what train she took. They are indignant
and have wired the Greenville officers. but
she is out of the jurisdiction of Fort Wayne
officers.
The sick child was taken i'll on Thursday,
March 20, but the eruptiOns were not pro-
nOunced smallpox until Sunday, when
pustules appeared I'm the palms of the
hands. The child. however. is able to be
up and run about the house with the other
children. Strangely enough the boy was
successfully vaccinated eighteen months
ago. The father says he knows of no
source OF contagicn except the public
schools. Another child attending the Miner
school was declared 10 have smallpox last
night.
Late to-day Mr.. Grindle was himself
taken with the symptoms and was removed
to his home, which had been ~quarantined
against him. He was recently v~aceinated.

SHARP TRICK BY MIERS.
1t Has AIienated Many of the Fourth
District Democrats.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Ind. March 26.-The ex-
posture of representative Miers's alleged
trick to fool his opponents by declaring
himself out of the race for a fourth nomi-
nation has aroused the anti-Miers men in
Daviess county. and they are renewing
their fight on him. The evidence of the
Bloomington politicians bad faith has cost
him much prestige. inasmuch as il is being
held that he seeks to secure by a trick
an end that he could not obtain in a manly
contest. 1t is known that Mierss friends
have written to the cOngressman's support
ers in all parts of the district, telling them
10 relinquish none of Miers's rights; that
he will accept the nomination If IL is given
to him. The result is that many of those
that were speaking kindly of what seemed
to have been a patriotic stand for party
harmony are denouncing the congressman S
trick in unmeasured terms.
The Daviess count delegation is I'M
doubtedly against Miers for a fourth nomi-
nation and will bitterly contest the matter
in convention. Wellman and Davis are still
hard at work. and mean to hold Miers to
his public withdrawal. In the meantime
the Miers crowd is hustling for delegates
for him as though he were actively in the
race.

why Vandever Was Defeated.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WHITESTOWN, Ind. March 26.-James
Mr.. Vandever. a Perry township school
teacher, who was defeated in the recent
Democratic opulist convention for county
surveyor, lays his defeat to the fact that
he persisted in displaying the picture of
President Roosevelt in his rural school
room in defiance OF the wishes of his Demo
cratic patrons. Vandever procured "A pic
ture of Roosevelt for his school at the be-
ginning of school last fall. but it only re-
manned on the walls a few days and dis
appeared. He continued TO purchase pic
lures Of the President and replace them on
the walls. Each picture remained only a
short time and then disappeared. Vandever
taught in a hotbed of Democratic-Populistic
faith and he was severely a~rraigned for
his act in placing the picture of a Re
publican President on the school-room
walls.

Condition of the Shepherds.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
PORTLAND. Ind, March 26.-Charles
Shepherd. of Redkey. the attempted muir
derer and suicide, now lies on a cot in the
hospital ward of the county jail. He was
feeling badly last night over his train ride,
but showed much Improvement to-day.
Shepherd is not talking a great deal over
the tragedy. There is no question now
that Shepherd will recover from his self
inflicted wound, but his right eye will be
sightless. Advices from Redkey state that
Mrs. Shepherd remains in much the same
condition, but is gradually growing weaker.
The worst fear seems to be that blood pol
soning will set in.
