An Eighteenth Century Document in the Possession of Deputy Sheriff Hance. Yesterday, while rummaging among his old papers previous to dumping the whole lot into the waste basket, Deputy Sheriff Johnny Hance discovered an old and ragged sheet, yellow with age, with one side written full. The ink is pale and faded out, yet distinctly legible. The paper was iseued to the sheriff at Vincennes in 1760, ordering him to incarcerate an Indian known as Goose," who had stolen a horse and mare. On the back is endorsed the execution of the mitimus as follows; "Commitment for Indian called The Execut ed.

Oh ristopher Wyant, sheriff." The mitimus itself read as followe: Territory of the United States, Northwest of the river Ohio, Knox county, 88: James Johnson, one of the justices of the peace in and for the county aforesaid. To the keeper of the jail at Vincennes, in said county, or to his deputy there and to each of them. Greeting: Whereas, the Indian called The Goose, a Piankieha, of the river called Eel Creek, hath been arrested by virtue of a warrant founded upon the oath of Lena Beorway, who saith that he, the Maid Indian called The Goose, did with force and arms feloniously carry away one stallion and one mare of the value of 500 livren, property of Wesson Delong, of Vincennes, in said county, yoemen.

The seal is about the size of a three cent piece, and in color a bright red. When it is -remembered that the document was drawn up nearly 100 years ago, the remarkabie state of preservation in which it is found can not be regarded else than remarkable.

Mr. Hance belives that it is of more value to the officials of Vincennes than to him, and this morning wailed it to the sheriff of Knox county, and it doubtless be placed among the archives of the oldest town in Indiana.
