LIQUOR MEN FIGHT.


 Indiana City Is In Two Countlen. Dunkirk. Ind. April tS.--This city Is partly in Jay county. which lately vot- ed "dry" and partly in B1ackford county, which lately voted wet" In option elections.
 Several keepers of saloons in the Jay county part of the town have an- nounced their intention to apply to the commissioners of Blackford eoun- ty for licenses to open saloons in the ''wet" neigh borhood.
 The temperance forces will fight the shift on the ground sthat there is a remonstrance against saloons in the Blsckford county township in which Dunkirk extends, but the liquor men assert that this measure cannot oper- ate against them because Dunlxirlr ia an incorporated city and unless they can be shown to be of bad moral char acter., the commissioners must grant licenses to them.
 Another chance is offered to the lIq- uor dealers in that corner of Delaware county, which also lies in Dunkirl. An option election in Delaware county, of which Muncie is the county seat, is to be held on April 27.

 It fla reported that much gambling has heen going on in and around Lln- den during the past several months and an effort will no doubt be made by the grand jury to break 1t up en- tirely.
 IjockIand will give all convicted gam 6iers the limit. Heretofore 1t seems very little effort has been put forth by the grand juries to break up the practice of gaming.
 The church people of this locality have become thoroughly aroused over the matter and it looks as if great pressure will be brought to bear al the approaching session of court to have all cases investigated.
 Many of the best citizens of the town have become greatly interested in the suppression of rowdyism which 1t is claimed has been fndulged in on sew eral recent occasions.
