Boys Pushed Over Gasoline Tank Entailing Loss of $15.

Thoughtless boys out on a prank hallowe’en turned over a gasoline tank and an oil tank at Ed Duvall’s livery barn, spilling the contents and causing a loss of about sls. Mr. Duvall was able to procure tfie names of several of the lads and he rightly took steps to make them settle for their destructive sport. They are said to be making arrangements to pay in full lor the loss he sustained. There were a great lot of .boys out Tuesday night and for the most part their pranks were harmless. They brought the band wagon and a number of other vehicles to the town bridge and obstructed the bridge and •just about the time'they had finished the job Marshal Mustard nabbed several of the boys and made them clean it up, restorings everything / to the place they found it. Gates were missing from several lawn fences, porch furniture was carried away and wagons and buggies moved away, causin; their owners some trouble in getting them back home. The tendency was for the most part not very destructive.

Good Fortune Prevents Bad Wreck of the “Hoosier Limited.”

The good fortune of an empty switch at Lee is all that saved the north bound “Hoosier” Limited’’ from a disastrous wreck at that station Tuesday evening. The train is due in Rensselaer at 5:44 o’clock and its schedule requires a speed of almost a mile a minute. It was running at a speed estimated at 50 miles ah hour when it ran into the open switch at Lee, The engineer sftw at once that the train had left the main track and he threV on the emergency brakes, hut the train had run a considerable distance before it could be stopped. The sudden stopping of the train gave all passengers a violent shaking up and the newsboy, who was walking down the aisle was thrown to the floor. In another coach the brakeman, who had just entered the front door of the car, was thrown down. No injuries were reported. Quite a number of passengers coming to Rensselaer were on the train, mostly traveling men. Among them were Harry Jacobs, of- this city, and Will McLain and O. F. Maxwell, of Frankfort. All '•report that they were given quite a shaking up. i The switch had been left open by the crew of a southbound freight. The is understood to have claimed that he arranged with the agent at Lee to close the switch. The agent claims that he did not agree to close it. It looks like some one would lose a job by the negligence.

Hammond Defeated Gary in Football Game Saturday.

The Rensselaer high school is trying to dope out the difficulty they will have in disposing of Hammond next Saturday. Hammond was defeated recently by Crown Point but turned right around and beat Gary last Saturday by the score of 12 to 0. There is intense rivalry in Lake county for the championship and Hammond will have a number of players in next Saturday’s game., who are recognized as first ejass athletes and fcho have hitherto been ineligible on account of studies. A special examination is expected to reinstate a number of their best players. The local eleven is expecting a stiff contest and are keeping up their training. The fine exhibition last Saturday will doubtless help in drawing a big crowd to witness the Saturday contest, which will begin at Riverside Athletic Park at 2:30 o’clock sharp. Have your piano tuned by Otto Braun. Leave your order with any of the band boys.
