HE IMAGINED. A Decatur Young Man Has Bad Dreams. Cal Myers told Decatur reporters Monday of a most thrilling ad- ■ venture in a wreck, on the South : western railway in which three ■ people were killed. It must have been a pipe dream though his face t and clothes show he was in some , kind of a mixup. In speaking ,of the report the Fort Wayne Sentinel says: Decatur newspapers Monday evening printed hair } raising accounts of an alleged accident upon the Fort Wayne and Southwestern interurban line, ' which appear to have been manu- ■ factored out of a tolerably whole I area of fabric. The brilliant-hued rumor was submitted this morning • to Auditor Louis McFerran, of the 8 Southwestern line, and after that official had recovered his breath he f declared that the rumor was wholly i untrue; that there had been no . trouble of any sort upon the inter- • urban, much less an accident in which people were killed. “It has > been a year since a car upon the > Southwestern struck even a cow,’’ said Mr. McFerran “let alone I injuring human beings, and I am totally unable to understand how such a rumor gained currency.” BIRTHDAY PARTIES. Miss Marie Connell entertained about twenty five of her friends i this afternoon, the occasion being ? i Marie's sitxh birthday. All kinds 4 jof children's games were provided -1 and the little tots thoroughly enjoyt cd themselves.
