The Third regiment was lu General Taylor's army during the term of its enlistment. The company was mustered out at New Queans- on June 25, 1847, and arrived home on July 4.

Adjutant General Perry's report contains among the newspaper extracts several items touching th Bartholomew troops. Ono of thfjse Is from the lirookvill" American of November 20, 1846, from Camp Clark, October 16: "There is little security In this place. On the evening of our arrival we Jost bne of our sergeants, who" was murdered in one of the restaurants for Ills money, but he had none by him. His name was Philip Love, of Columbus, a fine, peaceable fellow, lfe was killed by two Americans, who have been arrested and sent to New Orleans." Prior to the war Ivove run a tan-, Bery at the northwest corner of Fifth and Washington streets. He was the undo of City Marshal Horton.

Another from Indiana Sentinel, Oc- "On the' 23d (August) a recontre took place between Buck Kinney, of the Bartholomew county company? and an Alabamlan. in which the latter was badly cut. Both of them are said to be fighting characters, but I never took the trouble to inquire which was the most to blame." While McKinney was serving a life sentence in the penitentiary at Jeffer-onville for the murder of Rupprecht In 1856, In an Interview veith the late Col. W. G.

Terrell he related the par ticulars of the difficulty in Mexico, as follows: A member of a Georgia regiment which was stationed near Camp Dufllap on the Rio Gfande; a short distance from the Third Indiana, (o which McKinney belonged, was throw- lng chuck-a-luck on the top of a bar- 11. Buck detected him cheating and feccused him of 1L A fight ensued, Buck hitting the Georgian In the face with a stone, when the latter fled. Buck pursued with a powie knife whlch he had made at New Albany about the time he was nfustered into entice. The Georgian ran to the tent MEXICAN HEROES of Dunning and Kent, the sutlers of the Third Indiana, and Just as he entered It Buck overtook him and struck him in the back of the neck with the knife. McKinney then started for his own camp, whJh was at some distance across a mjjfA.ss, hotly pursued by the friends dfth slaughtered Georgian, who would have captured mm ana lnmcted summary vengeance but for Col.

Jim Iane, who ordered out a guard for his protection. He was kept under guard for a week! when the Georgia regiment was ordered to General Scott's line, greatly to the relief of McKinney. Colonel Lane later informed Terfell that the Georgian died from the inflicted wnind. i Colonel Lane after the war was elected lieutenant governor of the member of Congress and later became noted in the early days of Kansas as a free-soiler. The sutlers as well later became persons of distinction.

Paris C. Dunning" was elected lieutenant governor with Governor Whiteomb and was acting governor of the state from December 26, 1848, to December 6. 1849. P. M.

Lyric. bv opf4fion oAanlN) Saya He is Champion Hunter of Sea-on-Killed Whole Covey of Quail in Sewer with a Club. During every hunting season somebody always comes forward with a story of game killed which lays it over all other stories just a Utile.

Old and experienced hunters may have what they think a championship record, but some other fellow will come along and blight their fond hopes. And so it is that Joseph C. Kverroad lays claim to the championship hunting story of the season and he declares in a perfectly audible voice that he can prove what he says by numerous witnesses. Mr. Everroad is superintendendtng the work of building the new Me chanic street sewer.

The lower end of that sewer is a fifty-two-inch concrete main, making it large enough for a man to enter if he walks in a stooping position. The river end of the sewer has been blocked for the present with boards. Well, to get down to the story, Mr. Everroad says he was standing near the upper eml when a covey of qail flew up and dived into the open sewer mouth. He seized a club and followed the birds in.

The contractor claims that the birds flew to the river end of the sewer, where they were blocked by the boards, and then all he had to do was to slaughter them with his club. He asserts that he killed twelve quail in that manner, took them home and had them far dinner. Now if anybody in this i' or county has a bigger hunting story than that let him trot it out.

Whatever else that may be said of the diphtheria which has been preva lent in Columbus for the pn.st few months, it can not be said that it is not possessed of staying for tich time when it has been thought that the disease was stamped out another case would be reported. The quarantine was raised t.ns afternoon from the Frank Ueberroth home and this morning a diphtheria flag was placed at the home of K. Palmer on north Washington street.

Palmer has the disease and it was reported to Health Officer Kirk- patrick by Dr. George T. MacCoy. Had the new case not developed the raising of the quarantine from the Ueberroth home would hav-e closed the diphtheria incident in Columbus for the present at least "The Innkeepe lorse," at The- atorium. uest nlm ever hw in Columbus.

SHOOTING AT RABBIT IS EXPENSIVE SPORT For Lewis, a Colored Man of East Columbus, Who Was Fined by Justice Turner for Trespass. Ed Lewis, a colored man living in East Columbus, jumped a rabbit atui took a shot at it a few days ago and the incident proved a rather expensive one for him. He was arrested Monday night by Policeman Carmiehael and Dfpuy Sheriff Cox and taxen into Justice Turner's court, where he pleaded guilty to a charge of trespass and was fined $10 and costs, or $22.50, part of which he paid and the balance of which he promised to fix this morn ing: The affidavit was filed by Sherman Trotter, who said that he had or dered Lewis to quit hunting on farta on which he was a tenant.

Lewis admitted that he was on the farm with a gun and dog and that he shot at a rabbit, bat that he did not know he 'farm was posted, as he could neither read nor write. Miss Rea Mae cMhg tOrpheum tonight. AMUSEMENT NOTES. The new bill at the Lyric is making good in the most exacting 6ense of the term. In fact that very humorous motion picture, "Result of Eating Horseflesh," brings down the house at each and every exhibition, and each scene provokes a big laugh that will not down until the next scene, which provokes a bigger laugh even than did the previous one.

A very new and beautiful drama entitled Heart of a Gypsy Maid," is also being shown on the slides and it has proven very popular. The overtures by Sewell Moore and the popular singing by Surat are also valuable drawing cards for the house and at each show the theater is packed with people, who speak in high praise of the bill now running. The new furnace for the Lyric has been installed and will be ready for use tomorrow, thus rendering the house even more comfortable than formerly. Stock Company Opens. Advance promises of the press agent and the high merits of Ye Colonial Stock Company, contrary or ud-contrary to the rule, came true and the performance of "Slaves of the Orient'' at Crump's theater last night was a highly meritorious one from every artistic point of view.

The play proved very interesting and the company is one of the strongest popular priced attractions which has yet played this city. Dorothy Smith is indeed an artist and it is a pleasure not often offered to see her in roles where emotional, temperament is the essential. She shows the true artist in all she does. And in the young actor. Charles Siddons, Manager Benner would look far to equal.

He possesses all the gifts of the true artist and as Ensign Carter, the oung naval of ficer, he won many friends in the large audience present last night. The company is a good one all through and it will be a pleasure to watch the work of Mr. Waterhouse during the week. His Devil," the play for Thursday evening, compares equally with the best actors now playing that psycholog-leal production according to several dramatic writers. The vaudevile part of Ye Colonial Stock would make a good show in itself and wehed in the balance of popular approval this company should do a big bsfTlQss during the remainder of the Week.
