Even more 1863 shenanigans

 Brookville Democrat, Aug. 28, 1863

Arrest and Forcible Escape

We learn that a young man named Hollowell, living in Whitewater Township, in this county, was arrested by order of Provost Marshal Morrow on Monday night, and while the deputy marshal was on his way to the railroad station with his prisoner, he was met by eight or ten persons on horseback, who demanded his release.

The order was complied with, and the prisoner made his escape. We have not learned the charges which were preferred against him.

Democratic Meetings!

Henry Berry, Jr. will address the Democratic Club of Fairfield Township at Fairfield this evening (Friday, Aug. 38th). Speaking will commence at early candle lighting.

There will be a meeting of the Democracy at St. Peters on Saturday, Sept. 12, 1863. at 1 o'clock. N.T. Carr, W.P. Quick, James R. Jones and others will be present and address the meeting. A general attendance of the Democracy is expected.

Brookville College

The first term of the Institution will begin next Monday morning, August 31st. The teachers are all on hand, ad are ready for their work. The prospects are flattering, and the Trustees are determined to make it pay to all who may patronize the institution.

The terms are as low as those of any other institution of the same grade. Let the students fill up the rooms on Monday next. The friends of the college are invited to attend the opening exercises in the College Chapel on Monday at 9 a.m.

No Draft in Indiana

For the relief of all able-bodied male citizens under the age of 45 and over 21 who haven't $300 in loose change by them, we can say that it is now pretty well determined that there will be no draft in this state. Canada will lose a large number of inhabitants and the government a great many dollars by this.
