Monday afternoon He was driving a team hitched to a binder anti when he waa almost on the [crowing. he no tioed a train approaching. He was unable to hold the team and they started on the track. He was seated on the binder, but managed to jump and saved himself, .lust as he left the seat the train passed by striking one of the horses on the hip. Both animals were knocked down, and one was so seriously injured that it died Tuesday. The liinder was also struck by the triin ■ and considerably damaged. Mr. Cochran was thrown to the ground and just how he escaped injury and possibly death is a miracle to him and others who were near by. Bennett claims the engineer did not blow the whistle. The horse that was killed belonged to W. G. Jones Tuesday morning Mr. Coohran was attending to the horse that escaped injury the day before, when the animal kicked him and most knocked him out of the barndoor. In the afternoon he drove to Middlepoint to «ee a customer, when he got into a mixup with a load of hay and more trouble ensued. Bennett certainly had an unlucky Fourth —Delphos Herald. Mr. .

HIS TROUBLES No Snap to Regulate Police Boards Peculiar Conditions Exist in Many Cities Governed by Metropolitan Police System. Special Telegram To The democrat Indianapolis. July B.—Governor Hanly is at present engaged in an examination into the workings of the metropolitan pol'ce law in this state. He is looking into it seri ously, and he confesses that he has found a peculiar situation. The one great question that must be solved is can any resident of a city enforce .the laws of Indiana against his neighl>ors and against public opinion? It has begun to look to the governor that it is next to impossible. But he will not give up. Before going into a discussion of the matter the governor expressed that Richmond, Elkhart, Kokomo and one or two other cities are giving him no trouble. He admitted that at Muncie a peculiar situation exists. In that city, the governor is today looking into the facts cf the situation. He believes in his metrojiolitan board. He believes they want *o do what he wants them to do. But can they? The governor thinks the Muncie police i force is running its legs off to comply with his demands. He says a saloon opens at nine o'clock Sunday morning, the police heard of it. They chase there and find it closed, etc. A regular sized police force could be kept busy doing nothing out keeping saloons closed At Anderson and Elwood the saloons opsnly defy the governor. At Marion the board wants to comply with the governor's demands, but can’t. Their reason is the same as given by the Muncie board. At Lafayette a similar ' situation exists. The police have I beea able to do nothing but wa»ch 1 saloons. At Michigan City the governcr is having the time of | tus life trying to find a metropolitan board, and the proposition looks pretty dark. He don't want fanatics; he wants men that will execute lhe laws as he wants them executed, and it is [doubtful if he can get them. He has about Come to the conclusion that the metropolitan law is at least calculated to give a well-meaning governor his troubles. FISH EXTERMINATED Oil Has Put an End to Finny Tribe at Reservoir. The claims made by fishermen that salt water from the oil wells has had more to do with exterminating the fish in the reservoir than any other cause seems to be based on facts which are (indisputable. In spite of the stringent laws regulating fishing, and the fact that there are practically very few who are at present trying to make a living from fishing, as compared with former years, the supply of fish in the big pond has steadily decreased until at the present time it is almost impossible to catch a mess of fish with an ordinary pole and line, whereas only a few short years ago it was a comparatively easy matter to catoh all the bass, catfish, sunfish and perch that one could desire. Bass were the first to feel the effects of salt water and for three years past scarcely a bass has been caught in the whole reseivoir. At prosent the oatfish are dving by the thousands, the waters of the north shore being polluted with their dead carcasses. There is'nt a sufficient number of fishermen iu Auglaize and Mercer counties to catch fish from the reservoir as fast as they have been dying during the past two or three years and unless the oil wells cease to be pumped the pund will never again be of much va’ue to fishermen.—St. Marys Leade*.

SURE ENOUGH The Whole Damn Family, Including the Dot. Were In Court. By United Preen Newt Asaoclst'en. New York, July B.—Tna übiquitous Damm family bobbed up in Harlem police court today—the whole Dun n family, to-wit : Herman Damm, his wife, Marie, four children, and the Damm dog. the same being a dachshund. Mrs. liimni got a summons for her hue band yesterday. She complained that be had beaten her. Assuming her contention to be true. Damm is stronger than he looks. When his mime was called today Damm arose in court and started for the bench, carrying the Damm dog. Close behind him came Mrs. Damm and following Mrs Damm were the tour Damm children. Mrs. Damm told her story. It was all on account of the dog. she said. Herman, in the kindness of his heart, brought the dachshund home Saturday night, although there is barely room enough in the Damm fiat at 61 East One Hundred and | Tenth street for the Damm family. I “Judge.” declared Mrs. Damm. ] “when I made trouble about the dog he hit me in the face. ” Damm said his wife tit him with a tea kettle. Run along home," cried Magistrate Whitman in desperation. "Settle your own Damm family troubles." NEW INVENTION Decatur Man Has Patent on a Saw A Conveinent and Labor Saving Device -May be Manufactured in This City. G. G. McGill, an operator of thia city, is the inventor of a saw, which is now on the market, the first shipment having arrived this week, and are now on sale at the Smith, Yager & Falk drug store. It is known as the convex and seems so simple that every carpenter who saw it wonders why he hadn't thought of the scheme long ago. About two years ago Mr. McGill was in a neighboring town, and while waiting for a train his attention was attracted to a oarjicTiter ! who was trying to saw a hole | through the roof of a building near \ by. He watched him for some minutes and though he never did aly carpentering work tho idea j came to him, which he afterward put into a model and had patented. In the convex you have a saw that has all lhe advantages incoiporated |in the old style saw of today and with the convexly and concavely curved portions you have a saw that will cut through flooring, weather boarding, etc., without first boring a hole and using a keyhole or compiss saw to start the kerf, thus saving time and doing neater work. At the present time Mr. McGill is having the saws manufactured at Indianapolis, but a company may soon manufacture them here. Carpenters say it is a great invention and will prove convenient and necessary to every mechanic and farmer in the country. It has not yet lieen decided whether the saw will be sold through agents or jobbing houses.
