A BLODDY DUEL Robert Pike and Ben Brown Fight to the Death in Indiana [Special to The Republic] English, Indiana, August 7-During a drunken spree tonight in Temple's saloon, Robert Pike shot and killed Benjamin Brown, each 25 years old. Witnesses say that Brown shot at least twice before Pike got in his work. He then blazed away five times, each ball going into Brown's breast. In five minutes after the firing, Brown sank to the floor dead, although he managed to shoot twice after falling. It was a bloody duel with revolvers, and each man stood up courageously to the work. Pike has four wounds-two in the leg and arm and two in the breast. He is under arrest, but too drunk to realize what he has done. He apparently knowns nothing of the affair. Both men were strangers to each other. Pike is from Anderson County, Kentucky, and now lies at the hotel guarded by a posses of railroad men in anticipation of being lynched by Brown'

Tucson (AZ) Daily Citizen, March 21, 1904, p. 1. GAVE THE ALARM AND SAVED THE STORE Nashville, Indiana, March 21-The large general store of Isaac Evans at Mt. Liberty, seven miles east of here, would have been destroyed by fire last night had it not been for his shepherd dog, Rover. Evans had closed the store at the usual hour and had gone to his home. Rover, his old watch dog, had a bed beneath the storeroom in which he always slept, guarding the store. While on guard last night, the dog noticed the floor of the building on fire. Rover hurried to the home of his master where he howled and jumped and clawed the door until he awakened his master. Evans became alarmed at the dog's action and followed him. Upon arriving at the store, the dog started back toward its bed, and Evans stooped over to watch him when he saw the floor of the building on fire. He lost no time extinguishing the fire.

Augusta (GA) Chronicle, November 15, 1913, p. 4. A QUEER ACTION AT LAW This is a queer action at law in Nashville, Indiana, as we learn of it in the telegrams from that town. It is a suit in which a father asks a perpetual injunction to prevent his son and granddaughter visiting him except on specific invitation. It was filed in the circuit court here the other day by Attorney W. J. Beck for Collin M. McCord, aged 73, a Brown County farmer. It is alleged in the complaint that Charles R. McCord, aged 38 (difficult to read), the son, for many years refused to speak to his father or mother when passing the house, but that in March 1912, the son, accompanied by his daughter, Ruth, aged 10, arrived at his father's home and announced that they were there to stay. Since then, the complaint states, the two have lived at the elder McCord's without paying their board. In the complaint, the father asks the privilege of inviting his son and granddaughter to visit his home and that the duration of the visit may be determined by the host and hostess and not the guests. Mr. Beck said he had consulted many law books but had not found similar suit on record. Many a George father would not resort to law in a case like this. If the son would not work he would be treated to the hickory, no matter what his age. At any rate, he would be thrown out, bag and baggage, if his father did not want him.

New York (NY) Daily People, May 24, 1906, p. 1. WITH ROTTEN EGGS THEY DEFEND THE BIBLE Nashville, Indiana, May 23-The Rev. George Porter, who has been holding revival meetings in various country churches for some time, will hereafter give the little church in Lucas Ridge, south of the city, a wide berth. Porter's sermons and talks led to an impression in the neighborhood that he was far from orthodox. This impression became a conviction when, in his sermon in the Lucas Ridge Church he remarked, "The Bible has become a dead letter." As he made this statement, several persons in the congregation quietly left the building. Porter went on with his sermon but in a few minutes a lot of stale eggs were thrown through an open window and landed on the preacher. Another lot followed the first, and then Porter ran from the pulpit, darted through a window on the opposite side of the church and started down the road on a run. A large number of the congregation chased the minister for nearly a mile, but he finally got away from his pursuers in the darkness.
