HAD A FORTUNATE ESCAPE.
THE TEAM ATTACHED TO HORN
ING'S MILK WAGON RAN EX
CITEDLY DOWN NORTH EIGHTH
STREET.
Phil Riley, the well known fireman
Pt the North Eighth street engine
house, was knocked down and badly
bruised while stopping the team at
tached to J. L. Morning's milk wagon
this morning. The team became
frightened while standing in front of
Green's cafe on North Eighth street,
and was frantically running away
when Riley stopped it. Riley is new
at the hospital, but Dr. Thurston, who
is. attending him. thinks that his in
juries will be no more serious than ex
ternal bruises. Dr. Thurston consid
ers it remarkable that Riley should
have escaped so luckily.
Mr. Homing's horses, which are
young and spirited, were going at a
reciless pace when they approached
the engine house. Ed Carter and Ri
ley saw them and ran out into the
street In an effort to head them off.
Carter was on the west side of the
street and Riley on the east. Carter
threw up his hands and the horses
quickly jumped to the east side of
the street, knocking Riley, who at
tempted to grab them, to the ground.
He was thrown down and dragged.
Some who saw the accident say he was
hit by the tongue of the wagon.
The horses swerving suddenly to the
Fide, caused one of them to fall. The
horse was badly bruised and skinned
tip, but not seriously hurt.
Affidavit Against Horning.
An affidavit has been sworn out
against Mr. Horning, charging him
with viohtins a city ordinance which
forbids owners to allow their horses to
Ftand unhitched on public streets. It
Is said that Mr. Horning had a heavy
weight in his wagon, but was not us
ing it. He will be arraigned In court
as soon as City Attorney Study tfn ar
range his affairs to appear against
him.

r-
The above colored people were in
jured in- a wreck on the G. R. & I. one
mile south of .Collett Station Sunday
morning. They were on their way to
a lodge convention at Portland.
While rushing to the aid of the in
jured in the wreck in a touring car,
Frank Kenworthy of Winchester, a
cousin of Miss Sarah Moorman, clerk
in the Richmond postoffice, ran into a
tree and was killed. Enos Hiatt, Har
vey Diggs and W. P. Marlatt, who were
also in the car, were badly bruised.
Kenworthy tried to avoid running into
frightened dog and in saving the
canine's life, lost control of his ma
chine and .dashed into a fence post
and later a tree.
The wreck at first was reported to
be a very fatal, one, but it was. found
that the passengers had miraculously
escaped and Conductor James Hayes
of Ft. Wayne, was the only person
badly hurt.
Cause of the Wreck.
The wreck, is generally believed to
"have been caused by the spreading of
the rails, although another story is to
the effect that a truck gave way be
neath the engine tender.
Just how so many passengers escap
ed with their lives is considered a
miracle. All the coaches left the
track and plunged down an embank
ment. The engine alone remained on
the track.
It is estimated that at least 10O-people
were on the train when the acci
dent occurred. Just before the train
reached Collett Station and at about
7:0O, without a moment's warning,
there was a sudden crash and before
anyone realized what had happened,
the coaches were piled in the ditch.
The embankment was not so step as
to allow the cars to overturn and to
this fact is attributed the saving of
many lives.
Conductor James Hayes was caught
between two cars and pinned beneath
the wreckage. When rescued it was
found that he had several ugly cuts
about the head and it is feared that his
skull is fractured. He was taken to a
Ft. vWayne hospital. Injuries to oth
ers consisted only of slight brumes
and sprained limbs.

his apprenticeship at a watchmaker
and later came to America. He locat

that time has been engaged in the

than 60,000 watches since he began

Samoel Arnold, proprietor of the Ar
nold hotel, Mrs. Merle Campbell and
two other young women whose names
are unknown, had a narrow escape
from death Sunday afternoon while
riding in Glen Miller park in Mr. Ar
nold's automobile. Mr. Arnold lost
control of the car and the two women
who sat in the back seat, jumped from
the machine, but escaped with only a
few scratches and bruises.
While the big machine was climb
ing the steep road that leads from the
"last" spring in the east end of the
park toward the lake, the power gave
out, and before Mr. Arnold could get
control of the machine' it began to
coast down the road at a rapid rate
On the north side of the road there is
a deep ravine. The car headed for
this ravine and would have plunged
down the slope, but for a stout board
fence. The machine did not stop
after sheering away from the fence,
but continued on down the road. When
within a few feet of the spring, the
two women in the back seat of the car
jumped to the ground, alighting in a
most violent manner.
The car finally went over the north
side of the road near the bottom of ths
hill, where there is a slight slope and
would have turned over, but for the
work of several men who held it up
right. Arnold stuck to the steering
gear throughout the mad fligt of the
car and Mrs. Campbell gamely kept
her seat at his side. It is regarded as
remarkable that the two women who
jumped from the car were not killel
or at least severely injured. Had the
car rolled over the bank near the bot
tom of the hill, Mr. Arnold and Mrs.
Campbell would probably have been
crushed under its weight.

CELEBRATETHE FOUNDING
New Paris Odd Fellows Ob
serve 88th Birthday.
AN APPROPRIATE PROGRAM.
New Paris, O., April 29. The local
lodge of Odd Fellows celebrated the
eighty-eighth anniversary of the foun
ding of Odd Fellowship, Friday evening.
A very appropriate and enjoyable
program was renuereu tuusiauiis ui
Washiugton, D. C, April 2'.). Speak
er Cannon is a bit angry over a story
circulated in the East to the effect that
he, Representative Watson and others
are engaged in a "conspiracy" to pre
vent Oklahoma" from being admitted to
the Union prior to the next presiden
tial election. It is apparent that Okla
homa's votes in the electoral college
will be cast for the democratic candi
date for president and for this reason
the speaker is represented as being
anxious to stave off the act of admis
sion until after the election of the
next president.
"It is a yarn which has no basis ex
cept somebody's imagination," said the
speaker.
Mr. Watson heard of the "conspira
cy" story when he was at the exposi
tion.
"I can state authoritatively that
there is not one word of truth in it,"
said he. He stated, also, that his ac
tion in taking a copy of the new Okla
homa constitution to the white house
so that the president might study it
carefully and make up his mind wheth
er he wished to sign or to veto was not
a move to delay. He gave as his opin
ion, however, that the constitution as
aranea wouia not give Ukianoma a
republican form of . government, and
that the next congress should pass an
act prescribing certain provisions that
shall be in the constitution before Ok
lahoma shall be entitled to admission.
It is argued that only in this way can
vagaries and radical provisions be
kept out of the constitution.
The effect of such a move would be
to reopen the statehood fight in con
gress, and incidentally it might delay
the admission of the new state until
1.X), or 1910. There is no attempt,
however, to influence the president to
reject the constitution, and that is a
question that he alone can decide.
YEARLY MEETING DATES
Indiana Body Will Gather
Richmond on Sept. 25.
in
Last Appeal Is Made in Be
half of the CauseBig
.Meeting Will Be Held at the
Coliseum Tuesday Night.
The end Is In sight in reference to
the Y. M. C. A. campaign in Richmond,
and on Tuesday night at midnight, the
work will come to an end. It is con
fidently believed that it will be a wi
cessful end, but there is still sorus
hard work necessary to make this pos
sible. As will be seen by the- finan
cial report printed elsewhere, a coi:.
siderable sum of money Is still to be
raised. With the conditional offer
made by M. C. Henley, the condition
of which have not been met, tha
amount still needed to meet the terms
of the Reid subscription is $4,orw, an'i
without th Henley subscription. It
would be necessary to secure $t.50.
There is no special plan In mind to se
cure this except by the method of so
licitation that has been followed up to
this time. As the city has been gone
over so thoroughly, even In a house 1.3
house canvass, it does not appear that
the conditions are highly encourag
ing, but the promoters of the work ar
living In hope that when the final re
port is made on Tuesday night, It will
be of such a nature that a Y. M. C. A.
may be assured..
A Last Appeal Made.
A last appeal Is now being made to
the people of Richmond. The gift of a
few thousand dollars would make the
project to which so many of the busi
ness men have given freely of their
time and money, a complete success,
and there are plenty of residents who
are amply able to give many times
more than they have done. It is a no
table fact that the twelve men who
compose the executive committee, ani
who are not classed as wealthy men.
have given nearly $10,0OO, or one.
tenth of the total sum it was hoped to
raise. This they have done in addition
to all the time they have taken from
their private affairs, exhibiting a com
mendable public spirit, and a desire to
safeguard the welfare of the young
men of Richmond.
Meeting Tuesday Night.
It has been arranged to have a big
meeting at the coliseum on Tuesday
night, to which the public, including
the ladies, is invited. At this time
final reports will be made. There
will be music and addresses. In case
the report will show a sufficient
amount of money raised the affair will
be turned Into a glorious celebration
In honor of this happy end.
Richmond failed in an effort to get
a Y. M. C. A. seventeen years ago an 1
it cannot afford to fail now that a new
generation has colie on, for it is ad
mitted that the plan would then be
dead for many years to come. Patri
otic citizens, not only for the good of
the boys,' but for the general reputa
tion of the city as a progressive com
monwealth, should even at this late
hour come to the rescue of the work,
and make it a success. AH the condi
tional subscriptions should be clinch
ed by a proper response and it couH
be done without working a hardship on
a single individual.
