Ohas. Newcomb Runs One Through this Oity Without a Franchise. People who were on the main street Monday afternoon about 4 o'clock, saw the first street car ever run on the streets of this city. The car is a private one and belongs to Charles Newcomb. The route of its first trip in the city was along Etna avenue to Jetferson street, thence north on Jefferson to Market, and west on Market to his of residence on Lafontaine street.

The car was run without a franchise and those who saw it, did not know whether it belonged to the proposed Indiana and Ohio Traction Company or the Oil Belt Traction Company. Mr. Newcomb was 1 in Indianapolis 8 couple of weeks ago and while, there a number of cars which the electric railway company had set aside, as they had done all the service possible. Mr. Newcomb made the company an offer tor one of the cars and the deal was immediately closed.

When he came home he sent John Renbarger after the car, who went with four horses. He started back Saturday morning and arrived in the city at the time stated. When the driver and his vestibuled car arrived in the city, a number of citizens jumped into the car and began ringing the bell, which was kept up for some distance. Mr. Renbarger, who acted 88 motorman, had to be careful for fear he would run over the crowd on the streets, and the conduc- tor was busy collecting fares.

It is understood that Mr. Newcomb intends making a camper's wagon out of the car, and it will be just the thing to make trips to the lakes in, on account of its size and closed sides, which will keep the rain and mosquitoes out. BUYS HALF INTEREST. David Fisher Becomes Identified With Geo. Weller's Feed Store.

David Fisher, of Polk township, who disposed of his personal property last week, has purchased a half interest in George Weller's feed store located on the corner of State and Franklin streets, and takes possession at once. Mr. Fisher has rented the vacant residence of Jonathan Whitelock, on Elm street, and will move there on Thursday of next week. He is a citizen of such sterling qualities that all will be glad to welcome him and his wife to a residence in the city, and it is hoped they will be well satisfied with life in the county seat. Never Seen In the City Before.

People who were on the street Saturday afternoon, with eye-glasses and without, had the pleasure of seeing the largest and most complete string of buggies that ever went out of the city. There were six hundred dollars worth of buggies all tied behind one do wagon bound for Andrews. They were sold to Mr. Mills, the wide-awake liveryman. Mr.

Mills visited several dealers and was unable to find what he wanted until he struck W. S. Paul's buggy room and found just the line of work that makes any buyer smile in his sleeve. Mr. Paul says his buggy trade has been far better than he pected.

HIS TIME EXTENDED. Jacob Kahlenbeck Sinking Away at the Home of His Parents. Little has been heard lately ing the condition of Jacob Kahlenbeck, who was brought home last January, from Michigan City, on account of his rapidly failing health. The time of his parole was sixty days, a and as nothing had been heard concerning his condition, some were of the opinion that he had been taken back to prison. In conversation with his physician, it was learned that Kahlenbeck is still lying at the home of his parents west of the city, in a feeble condition.

Every month letters, noting his condition, are sent to the governor at Indianapolis, and to the warden of the prison at Michigan City: When Mr. Kahlenbeck's time was up, on account of his feeble condition, an extension of sixty days was given him, and unless his condition changes wonderfully, the time will have to be extended further. Jacob Kahlenbeck, in the words of his physician, "Is dying by inches." His left lung is almost gone and chances for his lasting any length of time are very slim. His continued sickness has affected his mind and he is out of his head a great deal of the time. It is hardly probable that he will ever be able to be taken back to Michigan City.

HORSE THIEF CAPTURED. Rig Recovered and Peter Baldwin in Clutches of the Law. Marshal Henry Slippey and Albert Bonham, of Montpelier, came to this city at an early hour Tuesday and after being joined by Marshal Pat MoCarty drove to Whitley county. The purpose of this drive was to capture a horse thief who stole Mr. Bonham's rig from the hitch rack at Montpelier on the evening of May 30th.

Some quiet work on the part of officials made it certain that the stolen rig had been located, and necessary arrangements, were made to secure both the rig and the thief. When the place was reached, the officers made an examination of the barn and sure enough there was the rig, Mr. Bonham identifying it as his property. The man accused of having stolen the rig was then arrested. His name is Peter Baldwin, and it was at the home of his uncle that the rig was found and where he was stopping until taken away by the officers.

Baldwin is well known to police circles of this and adjoining counties. He Was brought to this city and placed in jail. Mr. Bonham brought his rig with him and was exceedingly glad to get it back. Baldwin claims he borrowed the rig for a few days from Botham's son, and had it not rained would have returned the rig.

the next day after arriving at the home of his uncle. It is also said that Baldwin had offered to sell the outfit to his brother-in-law, but the latter suspicioning that all was not right, would not purchase. Baldwin was taken on to Montpelier Tuesday afternoon. Missing People Heard From. North Manchester Journal, June 2: Another surprise was sprung on people yesterday afternoon when word was received of the whereabouts Dr.

Lancaster and Mrs. Barratt, who have been missing for some time account of which has been heretofore published. Miss Nellie Lancaster ceived a letter yesterday from father. It was dated in London, England, and while its contents are given to the public, it is understood that the doctor said in his letter had written his family from New York asking them to write him London.
