Accordingly, at 10:1" o'clock, Sc'tt

and chief of police. The culprit was
perfectly described in the above tele

it lasted till midnight, most of the time
before the mayor and chief alone.

family of the murdered girl and sub

of the woman. Mr. and Mrs. P.ryan
positively identified the dress and shoes
as those of their missing daughter.
lieports seem to ily thick and fast
over this late sensation. One of the
most shocking stories is to the effect
(hat .lackson or Wood, after killing the
girl, decapitated her and for several
days the disiigured head was carried
around in a valise.

Detectives arrived here this morning.
Will Wood has been arrested and
tinned over to the oilicers, and left on
the noon train for ('in Mimati.
L vi 1:1:: - As near as can be ascer
tained the facts in the case are these:
Young Jackson had been intimate with
Miss llryan for some time, and it was
discovered that the girl was in a serious
condition. She left home, it is thought,
to meet Jackson, when an operation
would be performed. She was never
seen alive afterward by her friends. It
is thought she met Jackson and died
probably while undergoing an opera
tion. The young fiend is supposed to
have severed her head to prevent iden
tification. What implicates young
Wood is: A letter was written to him
by Jackson designating what kind of
medicine should be purchased to give
to the girl. It is not probable that he

Lewis Canaan, the religious acrobat
and all round contortionist who has
been enlivening the community north
of P.ourbon, was examined Wednesday
by Drs. Matchette and Linn of P.our
bon. whose diagnosis of his case cor
roborates the general impression that
he is mentally unsound. They did not
seem to think, however, that his condi
tion would warrant proceedings for
commitment to an asylum. It is un
derstood that Canaan went to P.ourbon
with Messrs. Sullivan and submitted to
the examination with the understand
ing that if he did not do so his case
Would be taken tip by the neighbors in

We never believe in kicking a man
when he is down, and an aware when
a man has established a bad record
any little thing that happens in his im
mediate neighborhood, he recenes the
blame. It is thus w ith Mr. Hill who is
incarcerated in the county jail. The
following is from the Warsaw Times
regarding a little transaction in tli.it
city:
"Piano" Hill, a gentleman fairly
well know in Plymouth, called at a
house in this place where a piano was
owned, claiming to the wife that he
had been sent there by her husband.

For some lime past the people of
(Joshen have recognized the impor

on his Satanic majesty in that city.
A t ier due deliberation a Salvation
Army band of Chicago was enlisted in

How many of our people know of
the work done by these people. It may
be of some interest to our readers to
state a few facts regarding this great
representative military organization,
and the work they do: They are
divided oil into working forces, such as
slum work, rescuj work for fallen
women, the prison gate brigade, who as-j
sist discharged criminals, the shelter
wo'k for t In homeless in cities, and
much more of interest to and connected
w ith the work. The membership of the
army has reached nearly two million
souls, with I l,!i:C oilicers or evangelists j
whose entire time is given up to the

on in more than Indifferent countries
and the average number of conversions

An eastern firm of unquestionable
responsibility is desirous of contracting
several hundred acres of cucumber
pickles to lie grown within tive or six
miles of Plymouth. Could they be
assured of sutlieicnt contracts to war

favorable as have heretotore been paid
here, they would commence the erec
tion of salting works in this citv at
once. They will also want lare quan
tities of cabbages, tomatoes, small
onions and string beans.
The Pusiness Men's association, be
lieving it would be highly advantageous
to our farmers and citizens generally to
have them here, have undertaken to
ascertain to what extent the tanners
would interest themselves, and to that
end will have, on Saturday, the Nth

hands of every groceryman in Ply

Wednesday at i:I." coroner proceed
ed to hear two inoie witnesses in regard
to t lie Swoverland shooting. Those
j who were betöre Coroner Kaszer
! were Melvm Soencer and Mel-
viri Ueed. The evidence secured from
those two witnesses did not materialy
differ from that secured from those
who had heard the remarks of John
Swoverland on the streets of Jlourbon
two weeks ago last Saturday. These
two gentlemen were in the Jgroup on
that day when the threat to kill Stewart
was made.
At the conclusion of the evidence
given, Coroner Kaszer rendered the fol
lowing verdict: "That the deceased,
John Swoverland. came to his death by
being shot by Samuel Stewart.who eom
mited the act in self defence, and was
exenorated by the coroner."
Immediately after the rendering of
the verdict an allidavid was filed by
Mart Swoverland against Samuel Stew
art, charging him with murder. The
warrant was placed in the hands of
Constable Klinger who served it. on
Stewart.
Stewart was brought before Squire
I Jeeves Wednesday at Ü o'clock,
an.
as he was arrested on the charge of
j murder, ami not bailable, it will neces
sitate his laying in jail until the next
term of court which is set for March.
Samuel Mewart seems to feel confi
dent that he will be cleared of the.
charge, of murder, and is perfectly will
ing to wait patiently the result of the
trial. His arm which was cut is im-
j proving slowly and though at first he
was unable to move his lingers, they are
becoming so that he can move them
without much trouble.

There are alwajs rumors as thick as
hairs on a dog's back that originate
from such a scene as occurred at the
Flsesser's sale last week. A report
comes to us, the truth of which we are
not willing to assume, but give it space
as it is worthy of perusal.
It is said that Joe Anderson, of this
city, who is now in the oil business for
a tlrm at Cleveland, was there. When Die
shooting commenced there was a lively
scattering. Among those who were in
close proximity to swoverland and
Stewart, were Joe Anderson
and James Sheet, a constable from
Kreinen.
Mrs. FJsesser hearing an unusual com
motion in the house went to see what
it was, and discovered Joe Amleison
and Constable sjK.ttz. hid in the bed
room.
She asked them what they were doing
there, and Sheet, replied that he was
an "odieer of the law." It is said that
Anderson was speechless and kept jerk
mg his head from one side to the other
as though he was trying to dodge bul
lets. Mrs. Flsessec again ordered them out.
of the house and as she went int.)
another room an unusual noise attract
ed her attention and an investigation
found three more brave men under a
bed. It is said it took considerable
work to get them alPout of the house.
1 but she finally succeeded, but not until
after the shooting was over.
Knifed il -Ie-n."
.Joseph M. P.erkley, who is managing
ice ciitting at Fagle Lake, will in the
future be careful how he lills out a
check. A couple of tourists, worked
for him a few days, and on Saturday
last desired a little money tocatry them
over Sunday. Not having the necessary
cash he combined their wages and
wrote out a check for si. 1 1, obligingly
accompaning the check with a little
note to the banker stating it was all

The "Weary Willies" took a turkey
feather, made a quill pen, perhaps, but
did insert a figure I in front of the first

the four and there you are ten dollars

Afternoon tea socials are becoming

time spent at these receptions by our
home people seem to form a stronger

these social gatherings was held at the
