Harrison County History
Aurela Porter Brewster
from the 1906 Atlas of Harrison County published by F. A. Bulleit
The settlement of Harrison County by white men dates as far back as 1800 when Indiana was erected into a territory. Adventurous spirits weary of the worn out farms of the older states set out, hunting new homes and fresher fields. In ox wagons, on horseback and on foot these pioneers pressed forward with eyes fixed ever on the Western Star. The Ohio River furnished transportation for many. They floated down on rafts or flat boats, and landing on its lonely shores, they struggled with the Indian for a foothold and prevailed. It is the old story of men with brawny arms and resolute hearts and of women worthy to stand beside them in the stern battle against rude and uncultivated nature.
It is certain that Daniel Boone and his brothers crossed the Ohio into the Southern border of the state in search of bear and deer and found with them the panther and the Indian. Other restless hunters came with them or followed in their wake-venturing only at first to cross the river with rifle in hand; at another time halting long enough to plant a little corn in some fertile valley; then, with gun in easy reach to build a log cabin and finally with stout hearts and hopes to bring wife and children and light the fires of home.
Ferries were early established at Brinley's and at Mauckport.
Ripperdan's Valley, three miles long and from one to two miles wide, offered special inducements to the pioneer, and here, in June 1807, came John Ripperdan from Danville, KY., his wife riding beside him with a feather bed for a saddle. This valley produces good crops after nearly a hundred years of cultivation, some fields at present yielding 25 to 40 bushels of wheat per acre. John Ripperdan's descendants linger around this valley yet. He was the maternal grandfather of John P. Sonner whose father, Capt. William Sonner, also emigrated early from Virginia.
In 1807 Ephraim Fleshman came to Harrison County settling in Heth Township upon what is now known as the John Frank land and was buried there, probably the first person to die in the county. John Frank moved from Salisbury, North Carolina, and brought his family in wagons. He brought several chests containing apple, peach and pear seeds and a small quantity of peach brandy. Jacob Lopp came in 1808.
Wolves were especially troublesome in the new settlement and John Simler, Sen., built a pen in which to catch them. Wolfe Knob receives its name from the great number of wolves that congregated there to howl at night.
About six mile back from the Ohio River, in Grassy Valley, Squire Boone (a brother of Daniel Boone) with his sons, Isaiah, Enoch, Moses and Jonathan and five nephews built their cabin and then began to cultivate the land. This was in 1802. Afterwards R. N. Heth bought the claim. In 1802 or perhaps earlier William Applegate came from Pennsylvania and Henry Watson from Kentucky.
In 1798, John Hudson, grandfather of W. H. H. and James Hudson, came into the county from Shenandoah Valley, VA., having lived for a short time in Kentucky. He crossed at Louisville when there was but a single house on the Indiana side of the river at New Albany. He entered much land all around where Elizabeth now stands.
Thomas Stevens, great grandfather of Warder and Charles Stevens, settled in Pleasant Valley, among the first in the county. James Armstrong settled below Lanesville in 1800 and had his first sight of roasting ears when he saw the Indians there holding them before the fire to roast.
These are the names of only a few of the stalwart men who, here and there all over the county, opened up the wilderness to civilization. There were many more and their descendants are with us to this day. They can relate incidents and family anecdotes that would fill a volume.
Harrison County was the fourth formed in the State. Knox, Clark and Dearborn were earlier. It was organized in 1809 and named after Gen. W. H. Harrison. The first term of the Court of Common Pleas was held in that year with Moss Boone, Patrick Shields, and John George Pfrimmer Associate Judges. The first sheriff of the County was Spier Spencer who was appointed by the territorial government. Dennis Pennington was foreman of the first grand jury. The other members were John Smith, William Nance, George Gresham, Reuben Wright, Tice Light, Henry Rice, George Crutchfield, John Livanks, Jacob Conrad, Eli Wright, William Vest, Edward Smith, Lawrence Black, John Smith, Sr., William Branham, Isaac Richardson, John Hickman, Lawrence Bell, William Pennington and William Sands.
In May, 1816, delegates were elected to make a State Constitution and met at Corydon on June 10th, 1816, and performed the work during a session of nineteen days. This constitution was signed on the twenty-ninth by Jonathan Jennings, President and William Hendricks, Secretary. The delegates from Harrison County who signed it were Dennis Pennington, Davis Floyd, Daniel C. Lane, John Boone, and Patrick Shields.
On the first Monday of August following officers were elected for the new State. Indiana was admitted into the Union in December, 1816. The population of Harrison County in 1815 was, white males twenty-one years or over, 1056, and a total of 6,975. The county was entitled to one Senator and three Representatives. The first Senator was Dennis Pennington, the first Representatives were David Floyd, Jacob Zenor and John Boone. Judge David Floyd in 1801 was Recorder of Clark County before Harrison was formed from it. He was an admirer of Aaron Burr and came near being led off by that artful traitor. Floyd was suspected of implication in the Burr conspiracy, was tried and convicted for which he received three hours imprisonment only. At the first State election in 1816 Governor Posey was a candidate for Governor but was beaten by Jonathan Jennings, President of the convention of late delegate to Congress, by a vote of 5,211 to Posey's 3,936.
The majority of the early settlers came from slaveholding States. They had felt the blight of slavery and came seeking freedom from its widest sense, and brought with them their dislike to human bondage. Jennings had been a leader of the free state party since his entrance into public life while Posey, a Virginian by birth, was considered the pro-slavery candidate.
The pro-slavery men of the Territory kept up their organization, hoping to repeal that clause in the Ordinance of 1787 which prohibited slavery.
It is hard to realize that slaves were ever held in Indiana, yet the first fight for Governor was made on this issue. Slaves were held here as late as 1830. In 1820 there still remained one hundred ninety slaves in Indiana. The legal right to hold slaves came to an end in 1830 but the census of 1840 disclosed the fact that there were still three slaves in Indiana. Many hundreds were brought here and liberated. Paul Mitchem, a gentleman from Virginia, came to Corydon at a very early day, bringing with him a number of slaves whom he set free. Their descendants have lived here since - Jonathan Mitchem, the present driver of the mail wagon from Corydon to Elizabeth, being one of them.
Squire Smith settled on the Charley place in 1808. After him Jacob Charley had a mill there. The house had the usual big fireplace where the cooking was done. People for miles around the country gathered there to have their grinding done. They brought their own victuals with them as, sometimes, they were obliged to stay for days at a time before they could get their grinding done.
Distilleries were everywhere, at convenient distances, to work up the quantities of fruit for which the county has always been famous. The first one on record was built in 1816, but doubtless many were in operation before that time. There was a distillery on the Harrison farm. Our forefathers drank unadulterated whiskey and entirely too much of it, but some excuse may be found in the hard life they lived and the dangers and sickness to which they were exposed. The "Millie Gwin" Hotel in Lanesville, an old landmark still standing, was famous in its day for the well filled whiskey bottle that always stood on the mantle shelf.
As an offset to this it is pleasant to record that churches built of logs sprang up in many a clearing. It is useless to try in the short space this history affords, to tell the self-sacrificing labors of the pioneer ministry. They beleived the groves were God's first temples and for lack of church buildings instituted a circuit of camp meetings where all could be accommodated and where a fervent gospel was preached without money and without price.
Between Lopp's Landing and Mauckport a cabin was built long ago by a boatman who landed, burnt a lime kiln and made ready to go down the river with a load. Instead of this, he was murdered and robbed, his head cut off and his body thrown into the river. At various times since then this headless man has been seen in Haunted Hallow, as it is called. It is a dreary, lonely spot and the traveler instictively hurries through having a feeling that the "gobblins will get him if he don't watch out."
Elizabeth Polk, daughter of Colonel Polk, an old Indian fighter, and wife of Spier Spencer, was stolen by the Indians when a child. The father and brothers wereaway from homeafter Indians when another party attacked the house carryingaway the women and children. All were recovered except the little girl Elizabeth to whom an old squaw had taken a liking. They were obliged to get the British to negotiate with the Indians and were able to get her back on payment of sixty dollars.
Old Goshen Church in Boone township is, without doubt, the oldest church in Harrison County. It is standing just as it did when Moses Boone and George Bartley cut down the trees and hewed the logs on the spot and put up the building in 1813. The cemetery adjoining has moss gorn tombstones almost a hundred years old, bearing the names of Douglas, Boone and many another well known pioneer and their descendants to the third generation.
John George Pfrimmer, a United Brethern preacher, organized all the early churches of that denomination in the State. He built Pfrimmers Chapel in 1818. The present church stands on the old site.
James Armstrong, a methodist preacher, came to this country in 1800 and settled just below Lanesville. He traveled and preached all over the State in school houses and churchesand at camp meetings.
Roger's Chapel in Posey township is among the oldest in the county. Mr. Rogers and Mr. Potts, the latter, father-in-law of Henry Funk gave the land and it was named for Mr. Rogers. The first log house is gone and the present one stands in the same place. Mrs. Rogers is buried there.
The land for Thompson's Chapel in Spencer township was deeded July thirty-first 1824, by John Hughes to be used as a Methodist Church and a schoolhouse. It was named for William Thompson, a typical pioneer preacher, who accepted just what people chose to give him for his services. He had a buffalo overcoat that sheltered him in rain or snow, or served as a saddle blanket while riding. At night it was rolled up for a pillow and its owner slept on the ground wherever night overtook him.
A Dunkard church stood long ago near Bradford. The cemetery is filled with tombstones with inscriptions that date back a hundred years.
Levi Long was a noted baptist preacher. He was the son of a Revolutionary soldier and was bornabout the time the war closed. While still a young man he came to Indiana and began preaching. He travelled over Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio and asked no pay for his services. His wife was a charitable woman who managed to to knit and give away four or five dozen pairs of socks every winter. Her husband seems to have appreciated her for he was wont to say "Its a good thing everybody does not see alike or they would all have wanted my Sukie".
Mr. Long helped to build the old State House and when the corner stone was laid he put in some coins. His read assistance was givewn to help build nearly all the Baptist churches in the county. He was buried at Oak Grove.
The famous Republican meeting house was located in Ripperdan's Valley. The house was built by the united efforts of the neighborhood in 1828 and answered the double purpose of church and schoolhouse. It was free to all denominations. The first Baptist preachers were Revs. Lone, Armstrong and Levi Long. Lutheran ministers wereHenkle, Reiser and Krack. Presbyterians were Martin and Dubuar. Methodists were Revs. Daniels and W. C. Smith. The Methodists organized here about 1838 and in 1847 had the first Sunday School, Aaron Bean Superintendent. The first person buried on the church lot was Eli J. Wright, son of John Wright. There are now over two hundred buried there. The old church was sold about 1873 and moved to New Amsterdam and the high water of 1884 carried it away.
The Christian Church building in Corydon was originally a United Brethren Church. The ground was donated dy Dr. D. G. Mitchell. Rev. Lyman Chittenden was the last preacher of that denomination who had charge. This was in 1852. Soon afterwards it was bought by a small membership of the Christian Church and at different times has been renovated and improved until 1903 when it took on its present handsome appearance.
On the seventh day of September, 1826, Isaiah Boone, son of Squire Boone, deeded to Thomas Highfill, John Smith, Jacob Kintner, Jacob Hisey and Benjamin Adams, trustees, the south half of lot number forty three in the town of Corydon to build a house for the use of the Methodist Church. This building stood until 1859 when it gave place to a new and larger one. This in turn was remodled in 1902 and is now a commodious and beautiful structure.

It would be useless, in the short space of this history to try to enumerate those who preached the word in this old church. The Recording Angel can call their names, although to earthly vision they may not appear on any costly stone or monument of marble.
In 1810 Rev. Dr. Crowe of Hanover came to Corydon and organized a Presbyterian church with Mr. Armstrong and Henry Rice, father of John Rice, as ruling elders. A small church was built in 1819. Its earliest pastor was William W. Martin, known as Father Martin. His sons, D. N., Dr. William A. P. and Dr. Claudius B. H. became ministers, the two former going to China as Missionaries. When W. A. P. Martin was born his father was absent from home at a meeting of Presbytery. Word was sent him and he announced the fact to the assembly and added "Here is a young missionary." His words were prophetic. W. A. P. Martin went to China and is still there an aged missionary. For many years he has been President of the Imperial College at Pekin and was a trusted advisor during the Boxer uprising. Five of the seven daughters of Father Martin married Presbyterian ministers. Three brother-in-laws, Samuel, Thomas and William A. P. Alexander were all ministers, the latter being a missionary in the Sandwich Islands. The first permanent pastor was Alexander Williamson who came to Corydon in 1824 and married Miss Lydia Rice in 1826. Mr. Williamson went in 1822as missionary to Mississippi. He died at Corydon in 1849 and is buried in Cedar Hill Cemetery. Mrs. Eleanor Slemons, now living at the age of eight-six, the oldest surviving member, was baptised in the old Court House before the church was built.
The Catholic Church at Lanesville is one of the finest churches in the State. The congregation dates back to 1843 when Father Opperman on his way to Oldenburg stopped to give services to the few Catholic families there. These services were held in an old dwelling just in front of where the church now stands. At this time three hundred and twenty-five dollars was paid for land on which to build a church. The first church was built in 1849 by Father Neyron. In 1854 Rev. Alphonse Munshina took charge and provided a school and a parsonage for the Sisters of Providence.
The first mission was preached at this place by Father Weninger in 1855. The magnificent church which now stands was begun in 1856 and occupied in 1860. It was dedicated by Bishop de St. Palais in June, 1864. Father Munshina was pastor for thirty-nine years and was succeeded by Rev. A. Peckskamp in 1893 and who is still its pastor. Father Peckskamp was born in Dama Oldenberg, Germany, August twent-ninth, 1849, and emigrated to America in 1860. During Father Peckskamp's pastorate he has spent over five thousand dollars on the interior decoration of the church and built a magnificent brick school building that cost about five thousand dollars more.
It may not be amiss to recount some of the old time manners and customs and to begin at the foundation: - it was not possible at that early period to keep provided with shoes, hence going barefooted was customary everywhere, even in winter. Dr. G. D. Mitchell, a self made man, went to school barefooted over the snow. He carried a puncheon slab well heated and frequently stopped to stand awhile on this to get his feet warm and would then procedd on his way. The pioneers who worshipped at Goshen Church dressed themselves in their clean clothes and went to church bare-footed. Mr. John Lane, now dead, was heard to say he never had shoes when a boy but ran over the ice and snow as nimbly as if well shod.
The wild grass, mast and roots were so abundant in the woods that hogs, cattle and horses required little other food. The farms consisted mostly of cornfields. Hogs ran wild and had to be marked or they would be shot like other game. These marks were put on record in the courthouse to defend the rights of the owners. It is amusing to read descriptions of some of these marks.
Fires were lighted with a tinder box or two hard substances rubbed together until a spark would be engendered which set fire to inflammable substances. In winter the fires were carefully covered up at night to preserve coals. If there were no coals left it was not unusual to have to go to a neighbor for a shovelful of coals or a burning chunk or brand of fire.
Grain was thrashed with a flail as late as 1840. Salt was hard to get, the nearest market for it being Louisville. It was evaporated in shells or bark of trees by the Indians at the salt licks near Lanesville.
Cooking was done at the fireplaces and once more the writers recollection goes back to a big spare rib suspended in front of the fire which it was her duty to keep turned ever and again to roast both sides while the grease dripped into a pan below, or at other times to keep fresh coals on top of the iron oven lid, inside of which the corn bread was baking.
Abe Lincoln's experience of studying by firelight was no new thing to the dwellers in Corydon, who as early as possible advanced to lard lamps and tallow candles and hailed with delight the coming of kerosene with its splendor.
Window glass was a rarity in 1810. Greased paper served the purpose. Governor Jennings was a polititian who beleived in keeping his name before the public and old residents said his name could be seen in the paper sashes of every schoolhouse. He also helped to build log houses and mow in the fields. Mr. Frederick Doll, who came to the county in an early day, has said that he used to haul hay to Corydon for Governor Jennings when the latter was the State Chief Executive. He said that the Governor would assist him in unloading the hay and was quite familiar with him, and frequently would crack a joke or two.
Mr. Giles, "Uncle Jimmie" as everybody called him, used to exhibit an old cherry sideboard which he owned and had at his house. He said that this piece of furniture had been formerly owned by Governor Jennings when he was Governor of the State; that the latter had drunk many a glass of "grog" from the same sideboard. Governor Jennings became intemperate, which greatly impeded his usefulness in later life.
Women used to piece togther quilts and work their samplers. They dressed their own wild turkeys for their wedding dinners and embroidered their own wedding gowns. Bear, fox and coon hunts were a recreation among the men. Wolves were so plentiful that they sat in the open road as children went to school and a bounty was paid for every wolf scalp. At one time a bear was tracked to his den by Henderson Stevens and two neighborhood boys named Foster and Arnold. It was in its cave so far that only the glitter of its eyes could be seen by the light of a lantern. Young Arnold was let down with a rifle in his hand and his feet held by the other two, and in this position he shot the bear.
Another story is of a squirrel hunt in 1825 to which a prize added zest. Capt. William Heth and Captain Isaac Sonner headed each a band of twenty-five men and they were to capture as many squirrels as possible, the prize to go to the band having the greatest number. A difficulty arose over the matter and a fight ensued in which Captain Heth came out second best.
Until the close of the territorial government three-fourths of the state was in possession of the Indians. By treaties with them the hounds of the Vincennes tract were laid so that it's survey might be made. The Delawares and Piankeshaws were the last to cede. The Indian trail running diagonally across the north of harrison County on Indiana maps shows a portion of this boundary. The Indians still roamed around when Corydon was a town of three houses but they were generally friendly. A party of them visited the cabin of Edward Smith and found only the children at home, the parents being on a visit in Lanesville, the nearest neighborhood. The Indians gave the children some ornaments made of shells and departed peacefully. At another time Dr. English, whose sisters had married respectively Dennis and William Pennington, was visiting Mr. Smith. He with his sisters, in their youth, had been held in captivity by the Delaware Indians. It happened that a party of Delawares were camping where Mauck's Mill afterwards stood and by some means heard of Dr. English's presence so near. They threatened his recapture and he became alarmed. With the guidance of some of Mr. Smith's family he went away and never returned.
In 1812 Colonel Posey was Pension Agent. A pensioner named White came to town to draw his pension and stopped at the Spencer House where a stranger named Cooley was staying. In the evening these men went out together for a good time and White got very drunk. In the morning he found his money gone and suspicioun was at once laid on Cooley. Some of the citizens, Tipton, Mefford, Fred Kintner, Vigus and others tried to get him to confess but failed, whereupon they took him out and whipped him. After many stripes to no purpose. Tipton remarked "We will be prosecuted anyhow, so lets wear him out." Some of the crowd started off for more switches and while they were gone the culprit confessed and told where he had secreted the money. It was found and given to the owner and the culprit allowed to depart. This is the first affair of this kind on record.
In January, 1834, a disturbance arose in the Sipes neighborhood, near Blue River township. Levi Sipes, a young man became enraged over a whipping given his brother in school and grew so unruly that the local authorities were not able to manage him. They sent for the county sherrif, William Gresham, that he might arrest him. Siped shot Mr. Gresham and afterwards slashed him with a knife. The body of Gresham was prepared for burial and brought to Corydon and afterwards taken to his home near Lanesville. Sipes was tried at the April term of Court, 1835, and was defended by Honorable John Rowan, of Louisville, Kentucky, Charles Dewey was prosecuting attorney. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter and punishment fixed at twent-one years in penitentiary and one thousand dollar fine. Sipes was pardoned by the governor after having served four or five years imprisonment and his fine was remitted.
During the September term of court in 1850 St. Clair Young was shot and killed at the Jameson boarding home in Corydon by William C. Marsh. Mr. Young's son had married a daughter of Mr. Marsh and family troubles had followed until the two were bitter enemies. At the dinner table that day the quarrel was renewed and Young threw a fork at Marsh when Marsh drew a revolver and shot him dead.
This case came up for trial April thirteenth, 1852, with W. T. Otto Judge and G. A. Bicknell, Prosecutor. Lawyers for prosecution were Ben Hardin of Kentucky, Charles Dewey, James Collins, Jr. and S. K. Wolfe. For defense were R. Crawford, W. A. Porter, H. P. Thornton, A. P. Willard, S. H. Keene and D. W. Lafollette. Jurors were William Hancock, Jonathan P. Cole, Isaac Pitman, George Wright, Wm. Evans, W. M. Bruce, James Wright, Oliver W. Littell, William Wright, John R. Horner, William Wright and Craven Lynn.
The case was argued for prosecution by Dewey and Hardin and for defense by Porter and Keen. Marsh was acquitted. A few years after, in 1858, during term of court at Brandenburg, Mr. Marsh, was standing on the steps of a hotel in that town when Stanley Young, a son of St. Clair Young, went out on top of a veranda nearby, shot him dead and made his escape. He was never captured and it is supposed he entered the Southern army and was killed.
In the summer of 1854 Reuben Williams killed Benjamin Miller at Mauckport. Williams had, prior to the killing, been employed by Miller to work in his mill. They had a difficulty and Williams was discharged. It was believed that Williams slipped up behind Miller while he was at work and struck him on the head with a hatchet. Williams was tried and acquitted by a jury and made his escape from Mauckport immediately.
The following account of the Indian White Caps is condensed from an article published in a Pennsylvania paper and prepared by George C. Irwin of the Democrat office: The first case of White Capping was the flagellation of James Keen in 1868. He was accused of stealing from his neighbors in Scott township. He returned to Kentucky.
In 1873 there came into existence a secret organization known as the "Harrison County Regulators", a society which had signs, grips, passwords and binding obligations. The name "White Caps" was suggested by the white hoods worn by them as a disguise. Each council had two officers a captain and a lieutenant, and their place of meeting was in some sequested spot at midnight. At these meetings they heard reports from committees of investigation and decided on the punishment for alleged misdemeanors. The members were then provided with strong hickory switches, and upon command of the captain the company galloped away on its mission of vindicating the offended law.
Within the next few years over twenty cases of White Capping occured. The number of lashed given was usually fifty but sometimes as many as seventy-five were given. It was useless to appeal to the courts for nothing could ever be proved against the accused Regulators.
The first sacrifice of life in these hazardous White Cap operations was in Blue River township on the night of April twenty-sixth, 1880. Henry Long was termed a "jack leg lawyer" and accused of stirring up strife in the neighborhood. He was a man of well known courage and they resorted to a ruse to avert danger to themselves. They had him arrested on a trumped up charge and the trial set at night with a long array of witnesses to prolong it until a late hour.
The trial was proceeding before Squire Archibald Boston when the Regulators appeared. Long had been disarmed but a friend had managed to slip him a revolver. He sprang to the door and shot the first masked man who entered. He lived but a short time and proved to be Louis Henriott, a leading citizen in the township. After the first shot the revolver failed to work or he would no doubt have succeeded in selling his life more dearly. Almost miraculously he escaped the mob, not however, before receiving a shot in the head that resulted in his death a few days later.
At twelve o' clock at night, June twelfth, 1889, one hundred and fifty horsemen rode into Corydon and a few minutes later James Devin and Charles Tennyson had been taken from the jail and were dangling at the ends of ropes from the girders of the bridge just west of town. The crime for which they expiated their lives was as follows: Friday, June seventh, 1889, James Devin and Charles Tennyson went to the home of James lemay, four miles northeast of Corydon, ostensibly as stockbuyers. They were given supper and while eating they kept looking about the room in a suspicious manner. Mr. Lemay noticed this and armed himself with a revolver.
The men were told their room was ready and they could retire when they wished, one of them drew a revolver and ordered the family, consisting of Mr. Lemay and his wife, his two neices and a hired man, into a room and shut the doors. When the doors were closed Mr. Lemay reached for his revolver and the man nearest him commenced shooting. A continuous firing was kept up between them.
Mr. Lemay fired three shots and was wounded five times, and Miss Lucy Lemay was wounded in the arm. After emptying his revolver Devin ran out the door and Tennyson went headforemost out of the window. Miss Matilda Lemay ran out and rang the farm bell for help, but the men had escaped. They were captured at New Albany and brought to Corydon and placed in jail. Their punishment followed as above described.
The closing scene in this White Cap drama was enacted in "Conrad's Hollow" near the source of Mosquito Creek in Boone township, Saturday night, August fifth, 1893. In a cabin in this hollow, Sam and Bill Conrad lived with their mother and sister. Their father, Edward Conrad, had been found in a dying condition a few hundred yards from his door some months prior to the above date and suspicion of murdering him rested on the two sons. They were tried in Corydon but no proof being found against them they were discharged from custody.
George K. Gwartney was their attorney and received from them two shot guns in payment of his fee. Certain men upbraided Mr. Gwartney for being instrumental in their release and intimated that justice would be given them by some other method. Mr. Gwartney replied he had only done his duty as an attorney and was now going to do his duty as a citizen of Harrison County - he was going to return their guns to the Conrads.
Shouldering their guns the Conrads returned home. It was not long until they heard the clatter of horsehoofs and the barking of dogs at night which betokened that the White Caps were holding councils. When their own dog was mysteriously poisoned they realized that something would soon occur in their hollow and they moved their beds to a secreted place in the hillside three hundred yards distant from the cabin. They were fully awake and ready for the fray when the White Caps appeared.
Secreting themselves behind a picket fence within ten feet of the house, they awaited the coming of the Regulators. Their opportunity came when, after they had thoroughly searched the house, a large body of White Caps appeared on the porch facing the position occupied by the two vigilant brothers. There were gun shots in quick succession and five men fell mortally wounded. The other White Caps precipitately fled.
It was not until eight o' clock Sunday morning that anyone could br induced to go into the hollow and make investigation of the tragedy. In the meantime the Conrad's had crossed the river at a point four miles distant and disappeared in Kentucky.
The Coroner returned a verdict that Edward Huston, Lewis Wiseman, William May, John Timberlake and Alfred N. Howe came to their death by gunshot wounds inflicted by Samuel and William Conrad.
This is the last attempt at White Capping in Harrison County. It is not at all probable that there will ever be a repitition of the brutal acts that made the county so notorious.
On Sunday, July tenth, 1864, John H. Lohmeyer shot and killed Colonel John Timberlake at a church near Mauckport. Lohmeyer was cleared on a plea of self defense.
Claiborne Shuck, Sheriff of the county, shot and killed Gideon Heth, Marshall of Corydon on Market Street Novemeber second, 1892. Shuck was tried before Justice R. S. Kirkham and acquitted on plea of self defense.
Martin Alexander (colored) attacked and shot William H. Brown (colored ) in Brown's own homeon January twent-second, 1894. Alexander was tried in court and sentenced to life imprisonment. He died in the northern prison in Michigan City.
September twenty-sixth, 1896, Andrew White (colored ) killed James Yeager on the street in Corydon. White was sent to the reformatory and afterwards paroled.
Horace Bell was born in New Albany, December eleventh, 1830, of Revolutionary stock on his mother's side. When he was two years old the family moved to Harrison County just above Mauckport. He attended a private school in Kentucky, his last teacher being Norman J. Coleman, our first Secretary of Agriculture.
In 1849, in quest of gold and adventure, he went with many others to California. In January, 1856, he joined the Walker army of occupation in Nicaraugua and when the war ended in 1857 he was in command of a battalion and one of eighteen left of the original three hundred and eighty-five. In 1858 his father and brother Charles were thrown into prison in Brandednburg, Kentucky on a charge of attempting to run off some slaves. Under existing conditions between North and South there was no hope for their release. Horace and his brother John were called home from California. They planned a daring scheme of delivery. On a day when most citizens of Brandenburg were absent at a picnic, they crossed the river, entered the jail and demanded the keys of the cells where the father and brother were confined. Liberating and arming them, all four passed quickly to their boat and were half way across to indiana before the escape was discovered and themselves hailed. Horace stood up in the boat, a revolver in each hand, and fired at his pursuers, some of the balls burying themselves in an old blacksmith shop on the shore.
In the fall, while visiting the Fair at New Albany, he was captured by officers and taken to Brandenburg to jail. Two boat loads of citizens of New Albany and vicinity followed, determined on his rescue. Excitement ran high in those days and trouble was only avoided by the wise cousels New Albany lawyers.
He returned to California in 1860, but almost immediately came back to Indiana in time to join the Sixth Indiana Regiment at Camp Morton. He was mustered out as Major, April eighteenth, 1866. In December 1862, Major Bell was married to Miss Georgia Herrick, a girl of seventeen who went with him to his field in the very storm belt of the Rebellion in and around New Orleans. After the war he went overland to Los Angeles and took up the practice of Law. He now lives with two unmarried daughters in a handsome home in Berkeley, California.
In the early days of the territory and State when there was much litigation, there gathered about Corydon, the capital, a brilliant galaxy of legal talent that has perhaps not been equaled since. The names of many who then practiced at the bar have come down to us as the brightest lights the State has ever known. After Corydon lost the capital to Indianapolis the attorneys practiced in both places and at many other points in the State, going the rounds of the large curcuit on horseback, through tangled thickets and over muddy roads and swollen streams with "leggings" on and saddle bags beneath them. The writer of this remembers being aroused at night from childish slumbers by the arrival of her father and his friends after weeks of absence, and the subsequent aroma that arose from frying bacon and eggs as the women of the household prepared a midnight supper for the belated travelers.
Benjamin Parke, afterwards United States District Judge under President Madison, seems to have been ubiquitous. His first case was a trial of a young man for stealing a twenty-five cent pocket knife. He rode all the way to Wayne County to try this case, the only one on the docket. The Judge sat on a log, the court being held in a forest.
Other names are Ratliff Boon, General W. Johnson, Thomas Randolph, Attorney General of the Territory, Harbin H. Moore, Reuben W. Nelson and Henry H. Coburn. The first session of the Supreme Court was held at Corydon May fifth, 1817, and was composed of three judges, namely, James Scott, John Johnson, and Jesse L. Holman.
Judge Dewey, a bosom friend of Benjamin Parke, sat on the Supreme bench eleven years. He was in the front rank of Indiana judges. He moved to New Albany and as late as the fifties he argued cases in the old Corydon courthouse.
Robert A. New, first Secretary of State, George F. Pope, first Clerk of Curcuit Court, Henry P. Thornton, A.P. Willard, W. T. Otto, Judges Bicknell, Porter and Slaughter, John W. Payne, W. Q. Gresham, Samuel Keen, S. M. Stockslager, S. K. Wolfe, W. N. Tracewell, R. J. Tracewell, Geo. W. Self, are only a few names among many on the long illustrations roll. At present C. W. Cook is on the bench, associated with the following attorneys: William Ridley, Major W. Funk, Henry Richards, William Roose, Congressman W. T. Zenor, Clay Hays, Emery H. Breeden, Abner Hunter, Frank Self, T. S. Jones, E. D. Mitchell, Clarence Jordan, T. J. Wilson, R. S. Kirkham, George Gwartney, and Lewis O'Bannon.
In 1814 the general assembly of Indiana granted charters for two banking institutions. The Farmer's and Mechanic's Bank of Madison and the Bank of Vincennes. The latter was authorized to raise a capital of five hundred thousand dollars. The bank had a branch at Corydon in 1821.
There is no record of any other bank in Corydon until 1857. On the first Monday of August of that year the Bank of Corydon went into operation with a capital stock of fifty thousand dollars, divided into five hundred shares. W. C. Depauw held three hundred and ninety-nine of these shares. Thomas Posey was President of this bank and B. P. Douglas, Cashier. Other stockholders were Arthur Vance, Edward C. Powers, Benjamin Wendell, G. A. Harbaugh, J. L. Menaugh, S. W. Douglas, Joseph Pollock, George W. Denbo, and John L. Bates.
In November 1860, another Bank of Corydon commenced business. Samuel J. Wright, Robert Leffler and T. C. Slaughter of Corydon and James R. Shields of New Albany were stockholders and directors. T. C. Slaughter was President and James H. Shields was Cashier when it was opened. The county was disturbed with political and war excitement and this bank never did much business. In 1862 James Shields resigned as Cashier and was succeeded by his father, Henry B. Shields. The Morgan Raid occured and the bank office was visited by one of the rebel officers, but as its funds had been taken temporarily to New Albany for security against capture, he got nothing out of it. Such a troublous state of affairs led to a conclusion to wind up the Bank of Corydon, which was done in the latter part of 1864 or first of 1865. Nearly every dollar was presented and redeemed.
George W. Applegate established the Bank of Corydon in August, 1880. W. B. Slemons, Cashier. This was merged into the Corydon National Bank, July first, 1905, with the same officers.
The First National Bank was established April second, 1903, with J. M. Andrews, President, and V. J. Bulleit Cashier.
During the war the tide of battle surged up close to the Ohio River, and often the old court house bell rang out an alarm and people gathered on the street corners, believing the foe was right upon us. We were thus somewhat prepared when on Tuesday, the seventh of July, 1863, the dreaded John Morgan appeared at Brandenburg with his face turned toward Indiana.
What follows in this account is taken very largely from the article in the Corydon Democrat of July fourteenth, 1863, written by its editor, S. K. Wolfe, and furnished to the writer by Mrs. Agnes M. Jordan. It is mixed with personal recollections from various sources which might be multiplied indefinitely if space permitted.
The steamboat T. J. McCombs landed at brandenburg and was immediately captured by Morgan's advance guard then in possession of the town. The McCombs was taken by the rebels to the middle of the river and there she hoisted the sign of distress. Soon after, the Alice Dean coming up was hailed to give relief. For that purpose she approached the McCombs and was thus also captured by the rebels. The news of the capture of these boats was communicated by some Union men of Brandenburg to Lieutenant Colonel William J. Irvin of the Indiana Legion, then at Mauckport.
A short time after receiving this intelligence, the Lady Pike coming up was hailed by Colonel Irvin at Mauckport and turned back to Leavenworth for a six pound gun and assistance; a dispatch was also sent to Colonel Jordan for reinforcements. At midnight the Lady pike returned with the leavenworth gun and a small company to man it under command of Captain Lyons and Colonel Woodbury.
The fog prevented any action until Wednesday morning, the eighth. A confusion of orders here occured which has never been satisfactorily explained. Colonel Irvin gave orders to fire on the boilers of the boats, which orders he says were countermanded by Provost Marshal Timberlake, who claimed precedence and who ordered the gunners to fire on the rebel cavalry on the bank. Soon, however, two rebel batteries, one at the Court House in Brandenburg and the other toward the lower part of town, began to play with terrific force upon our guns with shells, making it too hot for our boys to hold their position.
Under the cover of those batteries the enemy began to cross their forces to the Indiana side. About one hundred men under Captains Farquar, Hays and Huffman met them and opened up fire briskly, holding their ground as long as it was prudent to do so in face of such a superior force. When they fell back they left Jeremiah Nance of Laconia dead on the field and James Current mortally wounded, to whom Capt. S. M. Stockslager was carrying water in his hat.
The only thing that could be done was to hinder the march of the rebels as much as possible until reinforcement could arrive on general Hobson, who was in pursuit, could come up. No help came from New Albany where government troops with artillery were stationed, although dispatches were repeatedly sent there for help.
Nothing daunted, the Home Guards, with Colonel Jordan at their head, gathered a force of three hundred men on Wednesday evening and marched as far as Peter Glenn's, four miles south on the Mauckport road. Several small skirmishes occured between these troops and the enemy. A body of rebel cavalry dismounted at Glenn's house and shot John Glenn, who appeared on the porch with his gun in his hand. They decoyed his father, Peter Glenn, to the house by a white flag. Mr. Glenn before the war was accustomed to preach at many points in Kentucky. In some of these sermons he took accasion to bitterly denounce the institution of slavery, and for this reason incurred the displeasure of many of the slave owners of that section in Kentucky. It is reported that some of these men were with Morgan and that they had Mr. Glenn marked, and decided to kill him.
As the Home Guards came upthe rebels rushed for their horses. One man could not loosen the halter of his horse quick enough, and Mr. Glenn, who saw his son lying wounded and his barn burning, took down his gun and shot this man, thus sounding his own death knell. The rebels killed him and burned the nice farm house in which he lived. They had previously burned Peter Lopp's mills on Buck Creek.
Corydon was a scene of excitement that Wednesday night. Everybody expected the town to be sacked and burned. The few remaining men were busy hunting supplies and ammunition for the Home Guards already out on duty, and spiriting away valuable horses. The women flitted everywhere, hiding valuables and rendering such assistance as was in their power. The night was moonlight but foggy and weird looking, and through this shadowy atmosphere the figures of men and women looked like ghosts. The writer remembers forming one in a procession which bore a small box containing watches, silver spoons, and family heirlooms, to the far off garden and there, under the widest spreading current bush burying the box deep from mortal eye. The few sick people were moved to places of safety and none but children slept.
About half past eleven o' clock Thursday morning scouts brought the report that the enemy was approaching in strong force up the Mauckport road, toward Corydon. Our forces, consisting of four hundred and fifty Home Guards and citizens under command of Colonel Lewis Jordan of the Legion, assisted by Provost Marshal Timberlake (late Colonel of the Eighty-first Indiana Regiment) and Major J. S. Pfrimmer, who up to this time had been engaged with the cavalry in scouting, formed a line of battle on the hill one mile south of town, the extreme right wing resting at the Amsterdam road and the left near the Laconia road, making the Mauckport road one-third of the distance from the right wing. Temporary breastworks composed of logs and fence rails were hastily thrown up, which did good service in impeding the charge of the enemy.
About an hour later the enemy made an appearance in small force in front of the Home Guards and were bravely repulsed by the infantry, under the command of Captain G. W. Lahue. In that fight Mr. Steepleton was killed. The rebels had several killed and six or seven wounded. Before this skirmish was fairly over the enemy appeared in front of our main line along the Mauckport road, in strong force. They completely filled the road for nearly one mile. The "Henry Rifles", under command of Major Thomas McGrain, opened fire and did good work, the enemy being in full view. Soon the fire became general along the entire right wing, which checked the advancing columns and compelled them to flank both our wings at the same time. Their greater numbers enabled them to do this easily.
The rebels then opened up with three pieces of artillery, which made it necessary for our men to fall back. The fight then became a series of skirmishes in which each man seemed to fight on his own hook. In the meantime the enemy had taken possession of the plank road one mile east of town. On the right wing a large flanking force was sent against our lines and the fighting was very sharp for the space of twenty minutes in the quarter; twelve Henry Rifles and a squad of thirty or forty, a hundred yards to their left, armed with the ordinary rifle musket, holding a heavy body of flankers in check for ten or fifteen minutes and compelling them to dismount.
Being completely overpowered by numbers our forces gradually fell back to Corydon and most of the cavalry and mounted infantry made their escape. The rebels planted a battery on the hill south of town and threw two shells into town, both of them striking near Market Street. One exploded but did no damage. Seeing the contest was hopeless, and that a continuance of the fight would only result in unnecessary loss of life and the destruction of the town. Colonel Jordan wisely hoisted the white flag and surrendered.
"General Basil Duke, in his history of Morgan's Cavalry, places the number of militia at four thousand and says 'they defended their rail piles manfully'. The defense must have been very creditable indeed, if a brave, veteran officer like Duke could see four thousand men where only four hundred stood. The War Department recognized the importance of this engagement by inserting the name of "Corydon" in the official list of battles of the Civil War." - (Henry Jordan.)

A vegan café in Soho serving treats made entirely from natural ingredients claims to be London's first allergen-free restaurant.
Launched in Wardour Street this week, Yorica serves up a range of ice creams, biscuits, shakes and sweets, all created without dairy, gluten, nuts and egg.
It claims to be the only restaurant in the capital to offer 12 flavours of dairy-free ice cream and frozen yoghurt. Customers can try nut-free peanut butter ice cream, the more unusual dark chocolate and beetroot ice cream, hot and cold shakes and marshmallows.
Manager Monika Jagielo, 34, said: "We've really thought through all the ingredients we are using here. What we don't want to do is just appeal to people with allergies. We want people to be able to enjoy a healthy treat. The more we learn about food, we know we don't really need dairy in our diet and when we eat gluten we don't feel great."
Alexa Baracaia, a journalist whose five-year-old son has severe allergies including to nuts, sesame and eggs, said: "The little treats most of us take for granted are simply off the menu for a child with multiple food allergies.
"We've never been able to take our son out to a cafe and buy him a cake, an ice cream, even a biscuit. It's not simply a question of ordering a dish that doesn't have nuts — contamination from the kitchen, or from allergens in the factory where the raw ingredients are processed, rules out so much.
"It's absolutely wonderful to find a place that doesn't just pay lip service to 'free from', and which seems to take sourcing of ingredients and training of staff this seriously."
Ms Baracaia, who campaigns on allergy issues, added: "This has created such a buzz of excitement among the allergy community. There is nothing else like it out there."
Louise Smith, 48, from Hackney, who has followed a vegan diet for more than 30 years, visited Yorica on its opening day. She said: "As someone that has been vegan for a very long time, it's fantastic that we can come here and don't have to continue to try to make these things for ourselves at home."
Jenni Saltonstall, 32, another vegan customer who was visiting the capital from Southampton, said: "Usually as a vegan when you want some ice cream you are stuck with a sorbet — so to be able to eat actual ice cream here is pretty impressive."
A Pleasant Surprise - Yorica taste test
I was a little sceptical about how good any of Yorica's products would taste without the ingredients so many of us are used to.
But I was pleasantly surprised. Not only did the food look good, with bright colours and creative presentation, it tasted great too.
The first thing I tried was the nut-free peanut butter ice cream, which tasted exactly like the real thing. I was told the chefs here have managed to mimic the flavours using soy — and they've definitely done a good job.
Even the vegan Oreo-style biscuits, gummy bears and sprinkles were a true likeness. My least favourite was the dark chocolate and beetroot ice cream, which I found a little bitter and maybe a flavour combination too far.

There lived once in a big old house equidistant from Mottram St Andrew, Alderley Edge and Wilmslow – at the very heart of what is still known to estate agents as the Golden Triangle – a dope-smoking media don who disapproved of dope and media, heir to a pharmaceutical fortune who favoured the redistribution of all wealth but his own, a utopist who mistrusted the principle of social amelioration, a lover of Gregorian chant who fantasised about being a rock legend, a whimsical conservationist who bought his sons fast cars with which they tore up the very country roads he wanted conserving. If he sounds like many people it's because many people were wrapped up in him. But he was just one man, a single fretting bundle of idealistic envy. "Sometimes," he told his students at the business school in Stockport of which he was the dean, "even the fortunate and gifted can feel their lives are mortgaged to a perplexing sadness". "You don't say," his students said behind his back.
For Peter Shalcross MBE, one day had become the same as every other. A live morning radio interview on any subject, an afternoon lecture to his students on Mercantilism and Alienation – on alternate weeks he changed the title to Money and Estrangement – and then the drive home in the early evening to the heart of the Golden Triangle where a neat Scotch and scarlet smoking jacket awaited him, and where he could fulminate in comfort against the faux manses and manor houses of which the Strulovitches and their kind had taken possession. Every evening at the same time he fulminated, saying the same things and feeling the same burning sensation in his chest. But habit took nothing from the fervour of his animus. Only someone who enjoyed the benefits of great wealth himself could have been made so angry by the great wealth of others – the difference being that he hadn't had to earn his, the fact of which also made him obscurely angry.
"Can you smell anything?" he would ask visitors, throwing open the doors to his grounds, and when they had exhausted the possibilities – someone burning off leaves in the next county, horse manure, faulty plumbing, dust from the Sahara – he would rub the tips of his fingers together and say, "No, none of those, what I smell is more like lucre...The filthy sort."
Though he was concerned about the effect that the propinquity of lucre might have on the air quality, the hedgerows and his only daughter, Anna Livia Plurabelle Cleopatra A Thing Of Beauty Is A Joy Forever Christine – Christine being the name of the flighty society model he had ill-advisedly married and whose influence on him extended all the way down to his candy-striped socks and fashionably pointed, high crepe-soled shoes – Shalcross was known to boast to his academic colleagues about the millionaire pop stars and footballers who were his neighbours. This was not to be confused with hypocrisy. A man can boast and still deplore.
"If you wanted a pop-idol life, Christine, you should have run off with a pop idol," he told his wife the night the Cheshire constabulary raided the anything-goes party she'd thrown for Plurabelle's sixteenth birthday. In fact he was the one who should have run off with a pop idol. Or better still, been a pop idol.
It wasn't the amyl nitrite that brought the police out, it was the amplified music. And it was a rhythm guitarist, residing half a mile away, who'd alerted them. He couldn't hear himself practise, he'd complained. Even the noisy were entitled to peace. It was their human right.
After thinking about it for a week, Christine Shalcross did precisely as her husband suggested, though running off in this instance meant no more than moving to the other side of the paddock, where pop idols proliferated like peonies. "For all that I'll be able to keep a close eye on her from here," she told her husband, "I'd still prefer you to bring Plurabelle up. A girl needs a father's example and she loves you more than she loves me. You have that in common with her."
Estranged from himself, humiliated by his wife, disappointed in his sons who had gone to work for banks which had the indecency to fail, depressed by the cynicism of his students, appalled by the social deterioration of the Golden Triangle and expecting to die early, anyway, as his parents and grandparents had, Shalcross left instructions with his solicitors for the care of Plurabelle. "Taking into account the size of her fortune and the sweetness of her nature, Plury will be at the mercy of every moneybags and bloodsucker that comes along," he told his lawyers. "Find listed below a number of ordeals of character to which every aspirant to her bed must be submitted. Any who hope to approach her by some other route should know that my family's reach is long and extends to low places as well as high."
Having deposited these detailed stipulations, he went into the garden of the Old Belfry – his belfry, of course, was genuinely old – laid himself out beneath the second most ancient oak tree in Cheshire, stuffed tissues up his nostrils against the stench of filthy lucre, took an overdose of the pills for which his family had been overcharging grossly for half a century, and expired.
Richly left and richly independent, Plurabelle shed copious tears – for she had inherited the sadness gene from her father – and allowed a decent interval of time to elapse before summoning the courage to read her father's test, presented to her in a long Manila envelope, like a Last Will and Testament, by his solicitors. A gap year, she called this decent interval of time. A period in which to travel, meditate, meet interesting people, have a breast enlargement and work done on her face. At the fulfilment of which, looking simultaneously younger and older than her years and ever so slightly Asiatic, she sliced into the envelope with a letter opener made of the horn of one of the rhinos she intermittently marched through the centre of Manchester to preserve. Unable to see how being able to identify the three biggest lies of the 20th century, or to name the 50 richest "foreign" families in the United Kingdom, or to suggest a viable scheme for assassinating Tony Blair, would yield her the ideal partner, she put her father's test in the bin and devised trials more likely to yield the sort of man she thought she wanted.
On her 21st birthday she attended a swinger's party in Alderley Edge, having taken the sensible precaution of ascertaining first that her mother would not be there. She went wearing a Formula One driver's suit and goggles and jiggling the keys to each of her cars – a Volkswagen Beetle, a BMW Alpina, and a Porsche Carrera. These, once she had secured the attention of the majority of the guests, she threw into an ice bucket and went outside to wait in the Beetle. That fights broke out over the BMW and the Porsche but no one followed her to the Volkswagen didn't entirely surprise her, given that this was Cheshire, but she felt she'd learned an invaluable lesson. Deceived by ornament and the glitter of appearance, men were incapable of seeing substance let alone valuing it.
She became a lesbian for a year, received instruction in holy orders from a nun who had once done secretarial work for her father, tried her hand at modelling, journalism, photography and kinetic sculpture, had her breasts reduced, and settled finally for running a restaurant – though she had no cookery skills – in what had been the stables of the Old Belfry. She called the restaurant Utopia and envisaged it as the centre piece of that experiment in idealistic living her father had often talked to her about but never got round to putting into practice. Guests would be invited to stay the night, or even the weekend, go on treasure hunts, play croquet, fall in and out of love, treat one another beautifully, avail themselves of therapies of various kinds from Ayurvedic massage to marriage guidance – Plurabelle herself excelled at mediating between stressed partners, having practised for many years on her parents – inveigh against wealth, though only the wealthy could afford to attend, and of course enjoy food that bespoke honest endeavour combined with profligacy. Cottage pie washed down with Krug Clos d'Ambonnay. Or white Alba truffle with tap water. Eventually, she told a reporter from Cheshire Life, she would put her own ornamental virginity on the menu but as yet had not devised a method for distinguishing the right buyer from the wrong.
Though highly photogenic in the gamin style, with a retroussé nose, a Daisy Duck mouth, golden tresses, a throaty voice that brought to mind a bee buzzing in a windowpane in late summer, and a Scandinavian weather girl's figure, Plurabelle Shalcross had her father's fascinated mistrust of the media. No, she wouldn't make a television programme about her Utopia weekends, but then again, if it were to be a series, maybe she would. To the idea of bartering her virginity on screen she brought the same complex of scruple and consent, with both finally winning out. Better, surely, from the point of view of audience interest, to keep the question of her finding the right man forever in suspense.
Week in, week out, she could set new challenges and, week in, week out, suitors would fail them. Thus she laughed, cried, frolicked, cooked badly and, as episode followed episode, adjudicated – not just between lovers prepared to joust to win her, but between the affairs of others among her guests. Soon, imperceptibly, her programmes came to be about judgement as much as food and love. A new series entitled The Kitchen Counsellor became an overnight success.
Couples, friends, even lifelong enemies, would bring their disputes to Plurabelle's table where, as she served them delectable dishes prepared behind the scenes by someone else, she would deliver verdicts held to be binding at least in the sense that all parties had agreed to abide by them in their release forms. Not only was this a cheaper option than going to law or even arbitration, it gave combatants a taste of passing fame and, still more alluringly, Plurabelle's incomparable sagacity. Who cared, after that, whether they had won their argument or lost it!
For those for whom fame was less important than vindication, Plurabelle, flushed with success, initiated a live interactive webchat facility called Bicker. Here, the contentious would submit their grievances to the arbitration of the British public. "I can't be the one who decides everything," Plurabelle told her friends. But the British public turned out to be too vitriolic an arbitrator even for its own taste, the site consumed itself in rage, and Plurabelle was once again the person who – in the humane spirit of it not mattering whether anything was decided or not – decided everything.
Life was a game and Anna Livia Plurabelle Cleopatra A Thing Of Beauty Is A Joy Forever Wiser Than Solomon Christine its master of ceremonies.

Encore: Updating Shakespeare
Recastings, re-imaginings and reinventions of Shakespeare's plays have been popular almost since the day he died in 1616. King Lear inspired Herman Melville to write Moby Dick, with Captain Ahab as a tragic hero. Macbeth, Othello and The Merry Wives of Windsor inspired Verdi to three operas. Hamlet and The Tempest inspired Millais and the Pre- Raphaelite painters to masterpieces. In the 20th century, Kiss me Kate and the film 10 Things I Hate About You re-worked The Taming of the Shrew, while Forbidden Planet re-located The Tempest to outer space.
The Hogarth Shakespeare project is a bold new attempt to rework the Bard as contemporary fiction. It was launched in 2012 with the aim of commissioning some of the world's most popular authors to novelise his works. First was The Gap of Time, Jeanette Winterson's "cover version" of The Winter's Tale, one of the Bard's final "romance" plays. It concerned Leontes, king of Sicilia, who believes his friend Polixenes is having an affair with his wife Hermione. She dies after a hideous courtroom scene, and her baby Perdita is banished to Bohemia. There she grows up to fall in love with Polixenes's son, everyone is reconciled and a statue of Hermione comes miraculously to life. Winterson re-imagines Leontes as Leo, a nasty hedge fund manager, with a folk-singer wife MiMi and a best friend Xen, a computer-games programmer with whom he once had a gay relationship.
Now in Shylock is My Name, Jacobson rethinks the Bard's most controversial play, The Merchant of Venice. His Shylock is a brooding figure who acts as the conscience of Simon Strulovitch, a millionaire art dealer with a comatose wife and an errant daughter. Shylock becomes his confidant but goads him about his Jewish identity and his role as a good father. Portia, the advocate in Merchant (who has the play's most lines) is re-cast as the shallow TV star Plurabelle – see left – and Shylock himself becomes the star of the climactic court scene.
This summer will see Vinegar Girl, US author Anne Tyler's re-telling of The Taming of the Shrew, in which Katherina, the sharp-tongued older daughter of Baptista Minola, becomes Kate Battista, a chronically pissed-off pre-school teacher whose hand in marriage is sought by Pyotr, her father's lab assistant. Stand by for Margaret Atwood's take on The Tempest, Tracy Chevalier's on Othello, Jo Nesbo's on Macbeth, Edward St Aubyn's on King Lear – and Gillian Flynn's version of Hamlet. What will it be called? Gone Dad?

A short story written for my English GCSE Coursework.
The sun descends as it is forced from its position by the ever-growing darkness. Shadows are cast across the waters' surface, and the wind, no longer warmed by the suns' rays, is icy to the touch.
I should be getting home now, although I no longer see it as home. I've been sitting, dreaming, outside for most of the day. Here, I can be alone. Here, I'm able to appreciate the only positive aspects in life.
But now the sun's gone down, things don't look so bright anymore. The night brings darkness, fear, and the quiet realisation that you are all alone. With a sigh, I haul myself up with the aid of the tree on which I had previously been leaning against. My legs are stiff, so it's difficult to walk at first. It's not too dark yet, so I decide to divert away from my usual route. The lamp-posts spark on in a synchronised fashion, spot-lighting the pavement, like they're lighting the way for me. It's a nice thought.
My home is about a half mile up this hill. I walk slowly, but eventually I find myself on my street. I can't recall any more detours, so I guess that I can't avoid it any more.
The stones crunch under my feet as I cross the gravel drive, and I stand there, with my back facing away from the door. I slide down into a cross-legged position, and gaze at the stars. Its quiet; only the wind creates a sharp whistle as it swirls around its every obstacle.
I clutch my jacket close, and my eye catches the house opposite. Inside, it looks warm, bright and happy. A proper home. A dinner is delicately set upon the table, and the mother gently spoons it into her child's mouth. It's hot, and the child pulls a funny face. The mother laughs, and continues doing so as she lifts him from his seat. She cuddles him, and the father carries him upstairs.
I was quite happy just watching that house, imagining that I was there, laughing along with them. But eventually the curtains were closed, and the house grew dark.
A cold wind whips through my hair, and I'm shivering so much that my ribs ache. I practically fall through the front door in my haste to escape the cold; not that it's any warmer inside, but at least I'm protected from the shrill wind.
The stairs crumbled long ago, confining me to the ground floor. I mainly use the living room, as it is the cleanest, brightest room, and in the absence of lighting I am aided by the huge arched window. Moonlight shafts through onto the carpet, illuminating my pile of blankets, and a stumped candle. I drape a moth-bitten blanket over my shoulders, and light the candle. It's slightly warmer now, but no amount of comfort can rid the empty feeling of loneliness that I endure each day. Tomorrow, I will once again walk aimlessly through the neighbourhood, with my thoughts being my only companion.
The door slams open in the howling wind, but the moment I open my eyes the candle is extinguished, plunging me into complete darkness. I stumble blindly in the dark, falling into walls, and slipping on hot wax. The kitchen seems the most promising, as the rising sun creates the only visible area of the house. I can't tell what time it is yet, so despite the hard, cracked linoleum, I curl up into a ball on the floor. I don't understand why I'm here, or why I'm alone. I should have left a long time ago, but I just couldn't bring myself to.
I've told myself to have faith, but now even my faith has deserted me. I can't bear the loneliness any more.
"So why did you stay?"
"I'm still not sure. I think that maybe it was the
only place that was familiar to me.""And this is the house in which your family perished?"
"I try not to think about the fire. The ground floor wasn't badly
damaged, and I guess it was the only place where I
could feel close to them."
"So, you were living alone, and fending for yourself. Why didn't you seek help, if you couldn't move on?" "I was scared. Scared that they would take me away, put me in a home. They would have turned my life upside down." "Worse than it already was?"
"I didn't think about that. I'd had to deal with myself for so long,
I didn't want to be controlled. Do birds wish to be held captive?
I felt free, or at least, I thought I was."
"Did you see that as a good thing?"
"I did at first. After I had dealt with my parents, and everything,
I tried to make the best out of things. But as time went on,
my freedom turned once again to captivity. I was locked in
that house, a slave to my own needs. I spent every day trying
to make things better, to make life easier."
"So why didn't they put you into care after the funeral proceedings?"
"They did. I spent time in many different houses, with many
different families. I ran away so many times, I'm sure that they
eventually gave up looking for me."
"Did they really stop searching for you?"
"I don't know, but still, I watched over my shoulder, just in case."
"How long did you stay in this house?"
"About 2 years, I think, but it's hard to keep track."
"And then you ran away?"

13 awesome products we're looking forward to in 2016
2016 is now well under way, and the first major tech show of the year has come and gone in CES 2016.
Now, then, our attention can stray forward to the rest of the year. What technological delights does 2016 have in store for us?
We've picked out some of the more interesting devices we're hoping to test or hear more about in 2016. You might be surprised to learn that the iPhone 7 isn't one of them, and we'll explain why.
Related: Samsung Galaxy S7 – Everything you need to know
We're not going to go through every forthcoming flagship phone here, because the truth is there's only so much excitement a new, slightly improved slab of glass, plastic, and metal can engender in 2016. Mainstream smartphone design has undeniably plateaued.
So, we'll make a cursory nod to the iPhone 7 with its potentially tantalising abandonment of the classic 3.5mm jack (though we'll discuss that further a little later). We're also quite excited by the prospect of a Surface Phone, though we remain to be convinced that Windows 10 has a place on the mobile market.
If pushed, we'd rather commit a paragraph to the rumours surrounding the LG G5. Here is a phone that will, if internet rumour is to be believed, come with a novel modular design, which would allow for a removable battery without sacrificing premium design. The real smartphone innovation, however, will be found elsewhere.
Project Ara
One smartphone we're genuinely excited about seeing in 2016 isn't a classic flagship phone at all. It's Google's Project Ara modular smartphone project.
The concept is that you can click together your own smartphone based on individual Lego brick-like components, allowing you to spend the money on features that actually matter to you.
Couldn't care less about watching high res videos on your phone, but like to take photos? Then stick with a smaller display and splash out on a top notch camera module. Add memory, bolt on advanced sensors - the possibilities are endless.
Related: 7 pieces of modular tech to get excited about
Sky Q
The support for 4K has taken a painfully long time to gather steam, but we feel confident in saying that 2016 could finally be the year in which it takes off in the mainstream.
One of the reasons for this is the acceptance and adoption of it by the likes of Sky. The Sky Q box will have at its core support for 4K content output. Of course, we don't know exactly what 4K content it will be outputting yet, but we're hopeful.
The Sky Q will also shift multi-room and cross-device TV viewing to the next level, particularly in its allowing you to save shows to your tablet as part of the whole Sky experience.
Related: Sky Q vs Sky HD
Samsung UBD-K8500 Ultra HD Blu-ray player
The other reason we're confident that 2016 will be the year that 4K finally breaks out is that it will see the launch of UHD Blu-ray discs, and the first UHD Blu-ray players on which to play them.
Right at the front of this initial wave will be the Samsung UBD-K8500, which is set for launch in March.
Oculus Rift
We've picked the Oculus Rift as the most high profile example, but in truth we could have simply called this section 'VR gaming devices.'
2016 will finally see the release of several much-anticipated virtual reality devices with gaming as a primary function, including the Oculus Rift, the HTC Vive, and the PlayStation VR.
We've been promised a second VR revolution for several years now. It's time to see if this one will actually stick, rather than leaving us all feeling sick.
Related: Oculus Rift vs HTC Vive
Microsoft HoloLens
We've kept the Microsoft HoloLens separate from the other VR headsets because it's actually a very different proposition.
It's actually an AR (augmented reality) device, with virtual elements layered over a clear vision of the real world. As such, it will be much more practical in everyday usage, and will have far more varied capabilities than its gaming-focused cousins.
Indeed, the HoloLens will be more than just a headset - it'll be a self-contained Windows 10 PC that you wear on your head.
Apple wireless headphones
It would be obvious to include the iPhone 7 on this list, but the truth is a new iPhone is about as much of a given as it's possible to have. We don't know exactly what it will look like, but we know it'll essentially be a slimmer and faster version of what we've already seen.
Far more exciting are related rumours of a revolutionary break from the long-established wired 3.5mm headphones norm. It seems that Apple will be using its Beats Electronics arm to produce a completely wireless set of ear buds.
Apparently, these stand-alone buds will have advanced noise cancellation technology to make music and call quality even clearer.
Nintendo NX
Nintendo's new games console, the Nintendo NX, probably won't actually see release in 2016, but it will certainly be announced this year. More importantly, it will be explained.
There's been loads of buzz surrounding Nintendo's secretive NX project ever since it was tentatively name-dropped in 2015.
The consensus seems to be that it will be a kind of console-handheld hybrid, rolling up the functionality of the failed Wii U and the actually-quite-popular 3DS into one PS4-level uberconsole. Stay tuned to E3 in June to find out.
Tesla Model 3
While Google, Ford, and almost certainly Apple continue to quietly plough millions into the self-driving cars of 2020, Tesla has continued to provide real products that offer a tangible glimpse into the future.
The next and most exciting stage will arrive in 2016 in the shape of the Tesla Model 3.
Here will be the first Tesla car that's actually attainable by the average person. That means a desirable electrically powered automobile for less than $30,000.
Apple Watch 2
Many of Apple's first-generation devices fall a little flat, with too many bugs and flaws and missing features for the asking price. Think of the original iPhone, or the first iPod.
It's probably safe to add the Apple Watch to that list now. It wasn't the breakout hit that some were expecting, and it didn't validate the whole smartwatch concept as many were hoping.
Like we said, though, it was a classic first-generation Apple product. That means we're very interested to see how the Apple Watch 2 turns out, and the chances are we'll find out in 2016.
Amazon Echo portable
The first Amazon Echo was something of a curiosity, a free-standing speaker with a voice-activated assistant built in. But the concept was actually an intriguing one.
Recent reports suggest that Amazon will follow this up in 2016 with a much smaller, beer can-sized model. Could the key to the Echo's wider acceptance be as simple as portability?
Probably not, but we're very interested to see how Amazon can improve on this fresh concept.
GoPro Karma
Drones really took off (sorry) in 2015, and one of the ways we've seen their basic concept described is as like sticking a GoPro to a remote control helicopter/a pet of your choice.
It's perhaps surprising, then, that the famous action camera brand hasn't released its own drone - yet. It will do so in 2016, the company has confirmed.
The GoPro Karma will be a quadcopter with an in-built stabilisation system, enabling the capture of professional-looking aerial footage. Expect those YouTube extreme sports videos to get even radder.
LG Signature G6
With various dubious gimmicks (curved screens, we're looking at you) flying around in recent years, it's been tricky to plot an ideal TV upgrade path.
2016 could be the year to bite the bullet. Smart TV UIs are finally fast and intuitive, the 4K resolution standard seems to be set, and HDR actually looks like a genuinely worthwhile feature.
Among all of them, LG's Signature G6 OLED TV looks set to be the cream of the crop. Colours are more vibrant, blacks are blacker, and the super-slim, bezel-free design has to be seen to be believed. Oh, and webOS 3.0 is a world away from the clunky TV UIs of old.

Country rock legend Gram Parsons suffered a fatal heart attack at the age of 26 in 1973. His friend and road manager Phil Kaufman promptly made off with the corpse, drove him out to Joshua Tree National Park, California, and set it alight. This tale tall and true makes for an enjoyably low key quirky comedy and a terrific starring vehicle for Jackass star Johnny Knoxville. Caffrey (Divorcing Jack) and co-writer Drysdale don't force the issue, but hit on a pleasing vein of deadpan stoner humour, especially in the character of a hearse-driving hippie who comes along for the ride. It's not as raw as it might have been, and the last reel could use a bit more definition, but it could easily become a a cult favourite.
