Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Courier, March 13, 1900, p. 1. MRS. J. D. ALEXANDER DEAD Mrs. Mary Alexander, wife of Capt. J. D. Alexander, a prominent attorney at Bedford, died Sunday from diphtheria and heart trouble after an illness of two weeks. Her recovery was expected until an attack of the latter trouble when she became much worse and sank rapidly. She was a very prominent lady in the church work and temperance cause spending much of her time in the interests of these causes and the Grand Army post. The remains were brought to Bloomington at noon yesterday and interred in Rose Hill Cemetery.

Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Telephone, August 11, 1908, p. 1. NOTE: The item below was abbreviated from the original as shown by the ellipsis. An intoxicated sheriff down at Bedford, armed with two revolvers, a face bruised and bloody as a result of a fight with Thomas Reath, with three policemen armed with a warrant for the sheriff's arrest and afraid to serve it, though urged on by the police and presence of both the mayor and the prosecutor, was the disgraceful spectacle presented to the people of Bedford on the public square Friday evening, says the Bedford Democrat. The result of it will be impeachment proceedings against Sheriff Box. The first cause of the excitement seems to have been trouble of some kind between Sheriff Box and Thomas Reath that resulted in a fight at Mike O'Connell's saloon. As the Democrat gets the story, Sheriff Box, who had been drinking, got into a quarrel with Reath without cause, so Reath says, except that he imagined that Reath was not friendly to him. He followed Reath into O'Connell's saloon where he took hold of him and used the epithet of which we have recently heard a good deal. Reath struck him, knocking him down.

Tacoma (WA) Times, December 21, 1910, p. 10. LOST EGG SHOWS UP THREE YEARS AFTER Seymour, Ind., Dec. 22-Ye thrilling narrative of one egg. In the summer of 1907, Frank Franklin of this town prepared a shipment of eggs for an eastern market. Being of a romantic turn of mind, Frank wrote his name, address and date on one of the largest and shapeliest of the embryo chickens in the hope that some maiden fair in the effete east would cast her eyes upon it and mayhap fall in love with the writer. Well, it happened. This week he received a pretty souvenir postcard from a Buffalo girl informing him that she had just been to market, purchased a dozen eggs, boiled them, and ate a couple for breakfast. Upon breaking the shell of one of them she saw the name and address and thought she would just sit down and drop him a few lines to tell him that the eggs had arrived in Buffalo at last. The fair maiden neglected to state whether she bought the eggs as the strictly fresh article. Anyway, the fact that she wrote the missive showed that she is not dead-not yet.

Maysville (KY) Evening Bulletin, August 11, 1893, p. 1. A TALK WITH THE CONRADS Mauckport, Ind., August 11-While William and Samuel Conrad were sheltering themselves on the Kentucky side of the river, they stopped with Thomas Morris near Mulbrough. They spent Sunday and part of Monday morning there and talked freely with J. G. Harrington and others. Each carried large revolvers, but no shotguns. They claimed to be seeking legal advice, and during the day they had a conference with Squire Jerry Watt concerning the better course to pursue. William Conrad was the spokesman. They disclaimed having anything whatever to do with their father's death, of the murder of whom they were accused by the White Caps. They were warned by rumors that they might expect a visit from the regulators. Saturday morning they found their watchdogs had been poisoned, and this convinced them that a raid was soon intended. Saturday night they slept in the corn patch, and about two o'clock Sunday morning a noise on the hillside aroused them. Within a few minutes 40 men filed down the hill passing along the garden patch within 15 feet of them. "We decided not to shoot," said William Conrad, "until we could see that they intended to do. One of them picked up a rail and began battering in the door. Our mother and sister were dragged out and a rope was place about my sister's neck. We raised up and would have shot, but we were afraid of hitting mother and sister. Finally some of the party went on the porch, one of them carrying a light. Two were standing between us and the light, and we thought this would be a good time to shoot. I cocked both barrels, which were heavily loaded, and pulled one trigger. The light went out and three men fell. "As soon as they saw the flash, the raiders shot in our direction, but we had moved to new positions, and I fired again. Their bullets continued to whistle through the corn and then we emptied our guns into the crowd. I'm sure more men were wounded than were killed. I don't see how each shot could have failed to hit five or six men. They fired several times at us, but by changing our positions they missed us every time. Before the shooting commenced, they dragged mother to the cistern and threatened to throw her in. We would have picked off those men but were afraid of hitting her. Sam killed the man who carried the rope. "After this we did not shoot anymore but ran up the side of the hill, the raiders going another way. After they were gone, we went back to the house and looked at the five dead men. I knew their faces, but I had never spoken to one of them. I told mother to go and tell Mrs. Jones and have someone come and take care of the bodies. Two of them were on the porch, but the others had crawled some distance away. We could have killed more of them without being hurt, but we didn't want to. Sunday afternoon we sent mother and sister away, and they are here in Mulbrough." Both the brothers claimed that if they were disarmed under pretense of arrest that the White Caps would be sure to mob them, and they had made up their minds not to die so easily. If they had to die they proposed to kill as many of their enemies as possible; hence, they would not surrender to the authorities unless they were permitted to keep their arms. They were advised not to return to Indiana because there would be additional trouble, but Samuel said, "I was born there. It is my home, and by G-d, I'm going to live there." This declaration was endorsed by William. Both of them seemed anxious to return to Indiana. They said that their crops needed looking after, so also their livestock. Ex-detective John Hooper reports that he saw the Conrads crossing the river back to Indiana in a skiff. They were rowing, and each had a shotgun by his side. Both had a determined bearing, and Mr. Hooper reports that they did not seem to be of the ruffian type of men. He also reports that the Conrads have friends who will fight for them. On the Kentucky side they were well liked, and around Wesport public opinion upholds them in the defense of their home.
