RESULT WAS LUCKY A Number of Children Were Badly Frightened But Escaped Unhurt. A big team of farm horses owned by Solomon Sheets and hitched to a wagon ran away at noon today and caused considerable excitement. The team was hitched near the packing house and took fright at some escaping steam from a railroad engine, broke lose and ran five blocks, running into a tree at the corner of Adams and Third streets. There the wagon was overturned the horses being freed and they ran several blocks further before being captured. The runaway happened after the schools were dismissed and a number of children just scampered out of the way in time to escape being run down. The wagon was demolished and the horses were slightly bruised, but at that it resulted rather luckily. o Kurt Johnson was arrested last evening by Marshal Bohnke charged with having assaulted one William Stevenson while they were engaged in a heated argument at the west end saloon. Johnson, w’hen arraigned immediately plead guilty being assessed the usual amount a dollar and costs, which he promtply paid and was discharged. It is said that Stevenson's eye is dressed in mourning where Johnson hit him. s DEMOCRAT WANT ADS. PAY BIG

DENIES THE STORY Mrs. Jeffrey of this City Declares Mrs. Emenhiser’s Testimony False. CALLS THEM TRASH And States Some Facts to Support Her Opinion of Them. We are in receipt of communication denying the connection of Mrs. Alice Jettrey of this city with the Emenhiser’s who recently' indulged !in a divorce case at Muncie. It i seems she has also written to MunI cie parties for the following appeared in today's Star: On last Saturday afternoon Susan Emenhiser, of this city, while under oath and presenting evidence for a divorce from William T. Emenhiser, testified that she and her husband separated w’hen he deserted her several years ago and left with a woman named Alice Jeffrey, of Decatur. Ind. Mrs. Emenhiser not only testified to that but said her husband and the corespondent took with them tie Bible . of the Emenhiser family, and for that reason she could not give the accurate ages of her seven living children. The applicant was supported in this testimony by her daughter. Evidently this testimony did not receive a warm welcome from Alice Jeffrey, for the latter has written a communication in which she vigorously denounces Mrs. Emenhiser and brands her testimony as not being true. In one paragraph of her letter the Jeffrey woman writes: “I never had anything to do with those people for they were too low. Go to her home and you will see what she is.” In another place the letter reads: ‘‘Mrs. Susan Emenhiser was the worst thing that ever entered our city. She sold bricks in rags for junk and she was run out of town for her meanness.” Judge Leffler granted the divorce to Mrs. Emenhiser as there was sufficient evidence to show desertion. The divorcee is the mother of Ruth Emenhiser, who has attained great notoriety on account of her relations with Tobias Gaddis, who shot a whitecapper at Blomington recently. ■Workmen are busily engaged ait present at the water works plant in mending the hole in the roof which was left open after the old chimney was orn down by Jesse Smith. The roof is being mended so as to correspond with the remainder of the roof. The local merchants have commenced getting their supply of Christmas trees for the holiday trade and those | that have already been received are I dandies. I begins to look as if there I would again be a good old fashioned holiday rush for presents and trees.

AN EPWORTH LEAGUE INSTITUTE Will Bo Held Near Alexandria Next Summer. Dr. Leslie J. Naftzger, presiding elder of the Muncie district of the North Indiana M. E. conference, was present at the district Epworth League cabinet meeting at the High street church in Muncie last evening Following the session, he made the announcement that some time next summer there will be an Epworth League Institute for the state of Indiana at Beulah Park near Alexandria. This is a very important news item to Methodists and church people generally in this section as it means that many of the most noted Epworth Leaguers in the United States will be present at the institute. Last summer there' will be twelve and one of them will be held at Beulah Park—Muncie Sar. _o —— Marshal Fred Bohnke is out gathering a few of the delinquent poll tax payers and is succeeding in collecting the same in a magnificent manner. There are only a few left and unless they settle within the next few days suits will be brought against them for the amount due. If you owe boys, you had better walk up and settle. J. B.
