    3. BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, AUG. 17, 1900 Gus RHODA is suffering with a badly poisoned hand. So far as known no affidavits have been made as a result of the "race war" in Mitchell about 2 o'clock Sunday morning. It seems that only the parties engaged in the melee were out at that hour, and they are naturally averse to talking about the matter. Only LEWIS and ISOM are known to have been wounded, but it is suspected that others were hit by bullets, but not hurt seriously. T. W. BOX went to Greenfield Monday, to attend the fair. Twenty-seven charges have been made in Justice WOOLHEATER's Court, against parties at Mitchell for selling liquor without license. As the Judge is an avowed temperance man, of the fiery and untamed Kansas variety, it is likely that changes of venue will be taken in most of the cases. Charles PARNELL and family, J. P. BRANAMAN and family, of Pleasant Run, and Mrs. J. C. ROBERTSON and children, of Bloomington, visited the family of Mack SELBY Sunday, August 12th. Ice cream, cake and watermelon were served until all were filled. Mr. and Mrs. SELBY believe in entertaining their guests with plenty to eat. All present enjoyed the day. Charles DUNBAR and Mrs. Norah BRADLEY, of New Albany, were found in a room at Kansas City, Mo., nearly dead from poison, taken with suicidal intent. They left New Albany several weeks ago, both deserting families. LIST OF LETTERS. Remaining in the Bedford Post Office unclaimed, advertised for week ending Aug. 11, 1900: LADIES: DAVIS, Mrs. Jane.
