Stewart, was in town on Wednesdav of last week,w 'and made The New Era a business call. He is at present one of the ditch commissioners of the county.The commissioners got through with the business coming before themlast week and adjourned for the term on Saturday. Not much business before them at this session of general importance to the public.The M. E. social will be held at theresidence of Rev. Stewart, on Friday eveping. As this will be the last social held at his residence before his departure for conference, a good attend anee is desired. All are cordially in-Mart Dingman is pretty well known in this vicinity. Mart loves to entice the finny tribes from their favorite haunts in the classic waters of Port Mitchell mill pond, and in doing so some times forgets the methods by which it may bo done legally, as made and provided by the statutes of the groat state of Indiana, and for these little lapses of memory, recoives the distinguished consideration of the | commonwealth, and becomes the guest of sheriff Braden. Quite recently bis name graced the register of that famous hostelry, but was released a week or two ago. Mart, also, loves to look upon the wine when it is red, and for this fondness for the foaming intoxicants, sometimes gets into trouble.On Friday night of last week he remained in Howard's saloon until a late hour, and after being turned out of that place at closing up time made his way to the Bradley House, where, we believe, he spent the night, without registering as a guest, but occupying a luxuriant bed on a bench in the bar-room. Mr. Dingman discovered sometime on the following morning that his throat was cut, an J his condition at the time may be pretty accurately diagnosed when it is learned that he is unable to tell how it was done; whether it was accidentally cut by falling upon some sharp instrument, or whether some one attemptedto take his life. He stoutlv asserts that*it was not an attempt at suicide, and as he is not quite s\ire of his titles to a ranch in the happy fishing grounds bevond the rolling river, we are in-clined to think he was not vet just ready to shuffle off the mortal coil preparatory to climbing the goldenstairway or going up in the elevator to the sweet fields of Eden. Never having about him a large sum of money, the 4‘murder-for-money” theory is out of the question, and the case will probably always remain a mystery. Drs. Lemmon and Green patched up the gashes in the fellow's throat, and he will recover, to spend many more days on the banks of the lakes and lagoons of Noble countv,O * 7*listening to the merry warbling of the bullfrog in the bull-rushes, as he banks the bull-heads by basketfulls and bushels, which represent a substantial increase in his bank or bar account.0Take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla in the springi bn trnn © f n f lm I d
