NEW MANAGEMENT.
The Palladium with this issue is in
new hands, the plant and good will
having- been sold to parties
blessed with sufficient backing to
put the Palladium where it right
fully belongs. The late management
was in a way handicapped because
of old presses. The paper could not
be made larger on account of the
presses, and as each of our competi
tors had seven and eight column pa
ges, and the Palladium six, and as
a new press costing thousands of dol
lars was the only relief; and as we
hadn't the necessary aforesaid
thousands 6f dollars with which to
buy presses, and as we desired to see
the Palladium put in a competitive
position, we sought for and found a
buyer, who will' have no handicap in
the way of finances. The Palladium
will from now on be the leading pa
per of eastern Indiana. New presses
will be added, together with other
necessary things to make it a com
plete newspaper plant. As intimated
in one of the evening papers, the
Palladium was not in, nor never lias
been in the sheriff's hands. Nor had
the sheriff any hand in its sale.
Money -and lots. of it was necessary
The publication was certainly
nude in a spirit ' of .'malice,
to make the Palladium suecvssCul.
Til L 'necessity lias been supplied and
hence forth we hope to see the Palla
dium lead the van in the newspaper
To the new management we have
only Avords of ' praise, and can see
nothing in the way of success.
Mr. E. M. Haas, tha new busi
ness manager, was formerly with the
Palladium and needs no , encomiums
as to his merits. We have no better
citizen and he will no doubt prove a
winner.
In the course of a few days the
new management will be prepared to
make a statement in regard to the
pa ter's future.
We wish to thank the business men
of the city for their kindness during
our fifteen months of ownership.
Their patronage has been good and
their money greatly appreciated. We
had a faithful corps of workers, ar.d
their efforts Mere always wielded for
the good of the paper. To each and
every citizen, those who helped us
mid those who ; didn't, we wish a
happy and prosperous new year.
All accounts up to and inculding
December 31 are due me.
J, S. FITZG1BP.ONS.
Mr. A. A. McCormiek of Chicago,
has been made president of the Star
League of Indiana newspapers. No
other change in the management is
announced.

FIRE RISK IS GREAT
Insurance Press Finds Several Caus
esRichmond in the List.
Under the heading "Municipali
ties" in Grave Danger of Conflagra
tions," the Insurance Press of-New
York, calls attention tw several hun
dred cities scattered over the United
States the conditions of which are
not regarded favorably by tire in
surance companies. The question is
discussed briefly at the head of the
list of ' cities in the "following para
graph: Taking into consideration the con
(litions that prevail in the cities that
have been under investigation for
the purpose of reducing tire losses,
one conclusion ean be drawn definite
ly. It is that, iu all cities conflagra
tions hazards exist, through faulty
construction and protection of build
ings, negligence of property owners
in providing protective devices, of in
adequate supply and distribution of
Water. The assumptions, therefore,
are that the risks of fire are very
great in many cities of 10,000 popu
lation or more in the United: States
and Canada; that means for fire pre
vention and protection are depend
ent on the co-operation of depart
ments and the activities of officials
in the municipalities, and that great
responsibilities rest on property own
ers. Indianapolis is included in the list.
There are nineteen other cities re
ferred to in Indiana. They are An

Ft. Wayne, Hammond, Huntington,

W. G. VAUGHAN'S RESCUE
FROM A TERRIBLE SNOW
A Richmond Man's
Experience
. .
While Crossing the Desert.
s
Tiie following taken from the Los
Angeles Examiner will be of inter- ' teams or wagons. YV e were told , lww
est to the friends of Will Vaughn, ' ever,-that, by climbing to the top of
formerly of this city. It will be re
membered that he started on his au
tomobiie trip from this city some
months ago.
W. C. Vaughn, automobiiist and
traveler, who was rescued with Per
cy F. Megargel and David F. Fas
set by a relief party from Flagstaff,
Ariz., in the snow banks of the San
Francisco mountains, returned to
Los Angeles yesterday.
Vaughn, who has spent ten years
in Japan, and has traveled by auto
all over the United States, poined
the two New York automobilists in
this city December . 5. : He accom
panied the party as far as Flagstaff,
where they arrived last Tuesday
morning, after crossing the desert,
being wrecked near the Cajon Pass
and snowbound in the-Arizona mouni
tains. " .
Mr. Vaughn's story follows:
' After leaving Los Angeles we
spent the night at Upland. From
there we proceeded through Cajon
Pass, at .the bottom of which the au
to was upset.
Car Turns Over.
"It was one of those combinations
of circumstances which cause all ac
cidents. We rounded a curve unex
pected lv and found that the road was
on an angle, not a hill, but on a slid- -
ing angle.. Just around the corner
was a bank on the left hand side
about two feet high. The turn was so
sharp that the steering gear became
buckled in such a way that Fasset.
who was driving, was unable to get
the wheels back in position. Both
left wheels ran onto this bank, caus
ing the car to upset. We were going
about ten or twelve miles an hour.
The car turned completely oer and
would nave kept on goiuy ,uui u nm t;on , As it was AYO vole,- up jn
struck a barbed wire fence, which hu f,nv Utnkets we iad and laid
held the wheels in the air. I there shivering most of the night.
"We had a cable for the purpose j Sumav ha(1 tlje saTne experience
of pulling out of bog holes and bad js ()n previous day. -.We were get
places, and by means of this- we jmv-; tillJ? weaker ani the" snow was get
ered the car into its proper position j ueavjer. The crust of the snow
and in a very few moments, after b ; o-ivinn- us trouble. In most
packing our belongings, which had :
been upset, we were atram on
on r
wav. We Ave re all thrown out,
but
none of us were injured.
"The distance, .from this point to
Victorville, on the Santa Fe, Avas ac
complished Avithout difficulty. The
road, Avith the exception of a mile
or so of rather bad sand, Avas very
good.
"From Victorville Ave left the rail
road entirely, cutting across to Dag
gett. This road, for the most part,
is exceptionally good. A-fter spend
ing the night at Daggett,-Ave proceed
ed on the real task of crossing the
desert proper. We struck 9 sand I
would have considered difficult to
cross. I fully expected the car to
lav doAvn on us. We made the Needles
in four days. We averaged about
ninety miles a day crossing the des-
rt. Our machine Avas the first to
traverse the district successfully.
Terrific Sandstorm.
"The day Ave left Daggett Ave en
countered a terrific sand storm. 1
Avas riding in the tonneau most of
the time, so that I could protect my
face to a certain extent., but Megar
gel and Fasset t. who Ave re in the
front seat, must have suffered terri
bly. We Ave re told by everyone Avith
whom.' we talked at the Needles that
it was the worst storm in twentv
years. After leaving the Needles Ave
camped for the night in a Mojave
Indian village and obtained many in
teresting photographs.
"From this point to the toAvn of
Vivian, a "-mining camp, Ave struck
an 8 per cent grade. Most of this
was taken on the high gear and as
the roads were in good condition Ave
made the distance in less than an
hour and a half. From Vivian to
Gold Roads, a very large and wealthy
mining camp, Ave encountered many
grade's of 25 per cent. In one or two
places Ave had to stop the engine in
order to alloAV a team to pass coming
down. At one of these places I took
photographs and the grade meter
registered just 251 per cent. The
Reo, however, had no difficulty in
starting its heaAy load and getting
us to the top of the grade.
"To Kingman is a stage road near
ly straight and much better than
most of the roads around Los An
epeles. It was after dark, linwpvpr.
so we were unable to make as good
time as we might have in davhVht.
From Kingman", we struck good
roads as far as the foot of the Trux-

the mesa to the north we might be
able to work back to the railroad
farther east.' -This "we' were able to
do, but only by cutting across conn-;
try after dark fifteen or twenty miles t
with no road whatever.
"From Seligman to Ash Fork we i
encountered, the worst roads on the
t rip. There were large roeks scat
tered in and "out of the road, many
of them being too large to get over.
In such places we had to build up
on both sides with small rocks and
thus cause a differential to dear the
obstruction in the center, this how
ever, at the expense of jet cocks, our
muffler and other low parts of the
machinery. :
. t ; Into the Bog.
From Ash Fork we again left the
railway and took a short cut to Wil
liams. This distance was all more or
less rocky and bad, and a rise of over
2,000 in twenty-five s miles. As we
approached Williams we got into the
timber and began to strike our first
snow. Now our trouble began. Leav
ing Williams a week ago Friday, at
8 or 9 o'clock in order to take advan
tage of the roads then frozen, we
traveled for two "or three hours, and
by a misdirection got off the main
road and ran into a bog hole which
took us until, daylight to get out. In
places we were beginning to find
about a foot of snow and the higher
we Avent the more snow Ave encoun
tered. Saturday it was simply a
question of bucking snow drifts and
mud holes until by night time Ave
were all willing to rest in spite of
the fact we had lost all of our canned
goods and proA'isions.-
"We didn't have
er-ourrh bedding.
imply enough to be
n araa-
,iaces t i,e front wheels would rim m
top of the crust but the rear Wheels
kept breaking through and left the
Avheels spinning with nothing for
them to adhere to. In such places
Ave had U dig the snow from- be
neath the machine and' se'eral yards
ahead in-order to give the auto a
chance to get headway. Sunday noon
it Avas snowing -ery hard and by
night four inches of new snow, oblit
erated all traces of the road.
"It took us four nights and three
days to reach Flagstaff, through a
siioav region covering thirty-four
miles. Our experience Avas fright
ful. The thermometer Avas fourteen
degrees beloAv zero.
"Last Monday night Ave1 became
stalled in the snow bank. We Avere
without Avater or gasoline. We Avere
about all in. Our provisions Avere
all gone. Still Ave Avere within. a hun
dred yards of a fairly good road
but Ave did not know it then.
"A relief party came out from
Flagstaff with provisions. A Avagon
i was used to break a trail. Tuesday
about noon we., arrived ' at' Flagstaff.
Friday noon Megargel and Fasset
continued their trip. I returned to
Los Angeles."
