He was driving a fractious team tv his buggy and had just crossed the Miami bridge in West Point towiu- ship when a cow lying close to the bridge approach suddenly jumped up and badly frightened the horses, which became unmanageable and turned the buggy over the em- bankment. Mr. Crawford then lost the lines and away went the team. The buggy ina short time righted itself and stayed on its wheels for half a mile or more when it was again upset, and box torn to pieces, the rest of the buggy was unharmed.

Southeast Cor. square. tf A wag started a story on the streets late Friday evening that a mob of fifty men were prepared to move on the jail for the purpose of mobbing Harlan Turner. Our high sheriff, who is noted for his discre- tion, gathered around him a staunch and gallant band of heavily armed patriots and prepared for a desper- ate resistance to the death to save their prisoner. The sheriff in his se- rious, sober moments knows that there is not only no occasion but no danger whatever of mob violence. That the public sentiments is not against Mr. Turner and all law-abid- | ing citizens expect the law to take its course and it is not very credita- ble for the sheriff to lose Ins head at so senseless a rumor.
