newspaper offices after midnight Thursday

ment made with Britt TO declare tho side

Britt finally decided 10 yield. This agree

 of sickly appearance, dangled her bare
 feet from the front end of the box as she crouched down under the low top To the rear of the woman was a dirty looking dog of good size, and too worthless to walk. A big tin bucket and few old I pieces of bed clothing made up the rest
 of the load After leaving the ferry boat Wortman did not check up until he reached a railroad crossing at Spring street and Court avenue, where he had to stop for a train. A crowd collected around him and he was greatly disturbed over the delay. When the train had passed he waved one hand and said {: Get away, men. and. give me room to get through. l am in hurry"
 Wortman said his wife had chills and | fever, and he did not want to be both cred answering questions. He said they | left home three weeks ago. and at that | time horse did the duty he was per forming in pulling the wagon, but near | Taylorsville the beast was struck by | lightning. and. being without money, i Wortman decided to hitch himself up and
 continue the journey to Vincennes. He | is 5S years old and ugly, but told the | crowd about him that he was honest.
