ANOTHER SPRINT Team of Big Horses Hitched to John D’s Gas Wagon Breaks Loose. RAN INTO POLE At Court House Corner— Damage to City’s Light Lines About S3OO. The team of big horses hitched to one of the Standard Oil •company’s gasoline wagons took fright at 2:3ft o'clock this afternoon, while standing on Third street, alongside of the Star grocery, and in a wild dash down the brick pavement got as far as the corner of Third and Madison streets, where they ran into a city electric light pole, on the court house corner, breaking the pole entirely off, to the sidewalk's level, and smashing a twohundred and and a one hundred and fifty-light transformer. The Standard Oil company’s wagon was also damaged to a great extent, the tongue be ing broken into bits, and the back end of the wagon broken off. The horses were uninjured. Striking the light post they stopped in their wild dash. True Miller, driver of the wagon, was delivering gasoline co the Star grocery, when the team of highbreds took it in(p their head to exercise themselves. No one was on the wag on at the time of the accident. Superintendent Mylott stated that the damage done to the city would reach close to *3OO, the transformers be ing worth several hundred dollars. The loss to the Standard Oil com pany will reach *IOO. The same horses have figured in runaways before, but never have “cut up" like they, did today. A BIG MEMBERSHIP.

I FORGETS FACTS (CONTINUED FROM- PAGE ONE) also said to be in a had nervous stale, brought on by hi* experience in California where the 360.000 progressives headed by Johnson and Honey, and the other progressive leaders, refits 1 to have anything to do with him or hfs meetings. While he is "remaining In seclusion," Charles Warren Fairbanks will be notified of his nomination, and it is officially announced that the viee-pres-Idental candidate will remain as far away as possible from all the things that Hughes has been saying. He has been in consultation with su-h mon as Kealing and Hemenway, trynig to scare up something that he may attempt to exaggerate into an issue. The people of Indiana are still patiently waiting for the announcement , telling when the Honorable Albert , Jeremiah Beveridge will appear in In- ’ diana to tell why he favors the election to office of all the machine bos |'s whom he so bitterly denounced in 1912 and 1914. He should certainly make a most in Indiana polI itical history. j In an attempt to take away from I the democrats any credit for the pasI sage of progessive laws, republican , newspapers and orators have consumed much space and effort in showing how these laws were originally advocated by Beveridge when he was sen- . ator. Nobody denies that Senator ; Beveridge did advocate many of these ■ good laws. Everybody knows also that he received neither sympathy nor . support from his republican colleag- ■ ues, either in the congress or in the i senate. As soon .as the democrats came into power, tjie laws went upon the statute books by democratic votes and through the good offices of a d - mocratic president, Woodrow Wilson. So it will be exceedingly interest- ' ing for Indiana people to hear from Senator Beveridge, explaining why he is supporting Candidate Hughes and the same old republican bosses, includI -ing Boise Penrose, Jim Hemenway. Murray Crane. Jim Watson. Joe Can non. Jim Goodrich, Charlie Fairbanks. Harry New, Galliger, Smoot, and all the rest of the hunch, who have always stood against all that Beveridge advocated and all that the democrats have done. ~ PUBLIC SALE?
