speak a single word while returning to the
Jail from the courthouse. AS he entered
the jail he told the other prisoners not to

turnkey not TO allow any of his friends to
see him. He went to his cell on the upper

NAY STOP SERVICE
THROUGH THE CITY
Case Involving Pennsylvania
Southern Indiana Switch at Sey-
mour Tried at Columbus.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS, Ind, Dec. PA case that
will stop the Southern Indiana from run
ming trains through Seymour if the decision
goes that way was appealed from the Bar
tholomew county Circuit Court to the APP
pellate Court to-day.
The case dates from the time when the
old Evansville & Richmond road was in
existence. The Pennsylvania officials claim
that there was an agreement between the
Evansville & Richmond and the Pennsylva-
MIA Company by which the former road
should install interlocking switches where
the Southern Indiana crosses the Pennsyl-
vania at Seymour. The switches were to
be of a type agreed on by the Penn
sylvania people and also of a type
approved by the State. The agreement was
never fulfilled by the f. & r. and when
the road became the property of the South
ern Indiana, the Pennsylvania officials made
attempt to have the old agreement full
filled. This the Southern Indiana refused
to do and suit was brought to compel them
to do so.
The case came UP in the local Circuit
Court and Judge Hord first held the COM
plant to be good. A demurrer was entered
by the other side and when Judge Hord
made another decision he held that the
agreement made too long ago to be in
force now and that there was no record
of the State ever approving any certain
kind OF interlocking switches.

.ALbANY'S BIG GUSHER
IS A GENUINE WILDCAT
Opened Deep in the Sand and Far
from Previously Developed
Producing Territory.
WILL BE SHOT TO-DAY

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ALBANY, Ind, Dec. A.-The excitement
over the big oil well which was drilled in
yesterday has not abated The we'll is To-
Gated in the Michaels lease, just south of
town is undeveloped territory, and is what
is known by drillers as a wild cat we'll
1t is a remarkable well in several ways.
The quality of the sand for the last go feet
drilled was unusual and the depth at
which the oil was reached-200 feet in the
Trenton rock-demonstrated the probable
ity that oil will be found by deep well drill
ing in other parts of Albany. The well has
not yet been shot, but probably will be on
Christmas day.
The members of the oil company are feel
ing much elated over their rich strike. The
company had drilled in two wells about a
mile and half north of this gusher, but
had secured nothing, and the investors
were feeling discouraged. 1t has been the
belief, therefore, that if oil was not found
at a depth of fifty to seventy feet in the
sand, ii was useless to go further, and
many wells in this vicinity have been given
up ut that depth. but this we'll will make a
precedent for deep drilling.
1t is expected that this well will settle
down to about 400 500 barrels daily. The
company is building tanks to care for the
output.

Ernhoff, a farmer near Dayton, has lost
six head Of valuable cattle in a remarkable
manner His herd of stock was pastured
in field not far from the house and in
one corner of the lot was a huge stack of

looked around for his cattle, but they were
not to be seen. diligent search by other
members Of the family failed TO reveal the
whereabouts of the missing live stock and
IL was not until several hours later that
Ernhoff, walking over the mass of straw
blown from the stack, felt something sharp
beneath his feet. He pitched the straw
away and found one of his cattle lying
dead at the bottom. The rest were found
near by under the straw. The animals evil
IDENTIFY had sought shelter beside the stack
when 1t blew over on them and smothered
them. Two of the animals were registered
and had taken premiums at county fair.

HISTORIC COURTHOUSE
OF HENDRICKS COUNTY
Building That Was One of the
Finest in the State When Erect
ed Early in the Sixties.
WILL STAND MANY YEARS

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
DANVILLE. Ind, Dec. 24.-When the
commissioners of Hendricks county, last
summer, in their estimate of expenses for
the year 1904. filed with the County Coun-
Gil an item of $4,000 for repairs to the court
house. a strong expression of protest against
the council allowing any such sum went up
from every quarter of the county. The coun-
Gil needed the protest and only such appro-
priations will be made as to provide against
natural wear. But the request caused pub
lie thought to go ahead a few years, when
a demand will come for a new courthouse.
There is such demand now. but in twen-
ty or thirty years public necessity will de-
mand a structure. And by that time
the present building will have served its
day.
The cornerstone of the present building
was laid with Masonic honors, William
Hacker, grand master, June 5, 1860 1t was
a great day in Hendricks county and the
Masons and Odd Fellows. the two orders
then represented at the county seat, gave
parade. The building was pushed rapidly to
completion and was finished in the early
days of the war. Its cost was some $4,000,
and the money was on hand to pay for it
when 1t was accepted. Tradition is that at
that time 1T was the finest courthouse in
the State outside of the larger cities. 1t is
adorned with two towers, popularity known
as the square tower and the round tower.
The latter contains a stairway and from
the top fine view of the country around
can be had. For years the square tower
contained no clock, but in the eighties a
clock was purchased and now town and
country watches and clocks are regulated
by the bell which strikes the hours.
When the building was erected, the flues
were made for wood fires and with the
passing of wood for fuel and the adoption
of coal, some trouble has been had in keep
immense ricks of wood four feet long were
hauled to the courthouse yard for fuel and
a power saw was employed to cut it into
proper length.
The old building has looked down on
many exciting scenes. 1t saw the troops de-
part for the civil war. 1t saw them return.
1t saw the body of many hero carried by
to its last resting place. 1t saw the troops
depart for the Spanish-American war and
their return. Many a Decoration day
grafton has been delivered in its spacious
courtroom. Eloquent pleas for life and
treasure have been made before it's bar.
Notable campaign speeches have here been
given. In November, 1887, Benjamin Harri-
son delivered the great keynote speech
which landed him in the White House in
Brown Weesner tragedy in May, 1898. In
the fall of 1895 the great Hinshaw trial
was here held. The building is connected
with the history of Hendricks county in
untold thousands of ways. 1t will be used
for many years to come.
