BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, NOV. 2, 1900 A. J. FORSYTH, who had been buying sheep in this part of the State, left here Saturday for his home in Nineveh, Johnson county. He bought 706 sheep in Lawrence and adjourning counties and assembled them in one herd at Georgetown, Brown county, whence they were driven to his home, 24 miles distant, by three men and a Scotch collie dog – the dog, Mr. FORSYTH says, being equal to fifteen men in handling the herd on the road. Arista FISH, a boy about 10 years old, son of Curt FISH, while playing in the yard of the East Side School-house Friday noon, was struck on the knee by a small spent bullet which became imbedded in the flesh and made him quite lame. No report was heard, and the bullet is believe to have been fired from a high-power gun, and came from a distance, in the woods. The A. M. E church held their first rally for the purpose of paying off the debt against the church Sunday next. They raised $37.20, which was principally paid on the indebtedness this morning by the pastor, Rev. Will J. SMITH and the Treasurer, Mr. Fred FRAZIER. Jesse FAUBION, of Heltonville, was in the city Monday on business. Unless the amendments receive a majority of all the votes cast at the election they will fail. Every public spirited citizen should take the trouble to mark his small white ballot in the square to the left of the words, "For the Amendment." Mark under each amendment. John GIGERISH created a commotion on the south side Tuesday afternoon about 4:15, by throwing several rocks into FELTNER's saloon. Marshal RUSSELL captured him after a struggle and took him to jail. It was at first supposed the attack resulted from a row, but investigation revealed the fact that there was no provocation for the assault. John had been taking medicine for several days, and yesterday threw a few drinks of gin in on top of the medicine to take the taste out of his mouth. The two did not mix well, and he became crazed for the time, and did not know what he was doing, having no recollection of it next morning. He paid a fine for intoxication next forenoon and was released. "Fuddler" BROWN, one of Elnora's bad men, had an eye knocked out at Odon Monday night by a young man of the latter city, and Dean CORRELL is said to be the man who did it. The Republicans had a political meeting at Odon and a delegation headed by a glee club drove over from Elnora. Although he is a Democrat BROWN went along riding in the glee club wagon against the protest of several of the young men in the crowd. After the speaking was over CORRELL was assisting several of the young ladies in the wagon when BROWN interfered and started to play the gallant himself. This angered CORRELL and he struck BROWN in the eye, the blow destroying the eye-sight. – Washington Herald. It pays to advertise. A lady who got on the train Tuesday, to go to Williams, found after she had taken her seat that her watch was gone. She sent word to Editor Henry STRUPE to advertise it. Mr. STRUPE scratched his head, thought over the matter a moment a la Sherlock Holmes, and then went around on the off side of the car, where the lady had got on board, and found the watch lying on the gravel, beside the track, in plain view of everybody on the train if they had looked. It was promptly returned to the delighted owner. Between 1,500 and 3.500 people gathered at Seymour Wednesday, to hear a speech by Adlai Stevenson, Democratic candidate for Vice President. The principal feature of the day was a drum corp of 17 members from Indianapolis, dressed in Continental uniform. The crowd was largely composed of Republicans who wore dangling from their coat lapels big round cards with the legend: "McKinley Was Right." A Springville Veteran. Springville, Ind., Oct. 27th, 1900. Editor of the MAIL. – I am one of the boys that voted for John C. Fremont in 1856, for Lincoln in 1860, and would have voted for Lincoln in 1864, but was laying in the hospital wounded.
