GIRLS MET WITH ACCIDENT

Horse Driven by Miss Carrie Drown Kalis And YounK Woman Is Thrown From ItuuKy—Is Caught Between the Horse and Ituggy— Horse Hogan to Itun and Kirk.

dick bunen to the rescue

The prompt action of Dick Hunten In stopping a runaway late Saturday afternoon probably saved the life or at least serious injury of a young woman. The runaway was the result of an accident which occurred just in front of the Commercial Hotel at near 5 o'clock. Miss Carrie Brown, who stays at the home of Charley Huffman, and Miss Calloway, a friend, were driving in Mr. Hoffman’s rig. As the girls drove past the Commercial Hotel the horse slipped on the stone crossing and fell. The sudden stop of the buggy threw Miss Calloway over the dash-board and she was caught between the buggy and horse In such a way that she could not get out. Miss Brown Jumped from the

buggy.

The horse Immediately got to Its feet and started to run and kick. The several persons who witnessed the accident believed the girl would be kicked to death. Dick Bunten was sitting in the hotel at the time and sa-w the horse fall. He Immediately ran into the street and after the horse which had started to run by that time. Mr. Bunten managed to get hold of the horse’s head just In time. He held the animal while Walter Crawford and others got the girl out from between the horse and the buggy. Had Mr Bunten not caught the horse when he did the accident probably j would have resulted very seriously.

I. U. WINS A HARD GAME [

State University Defeats the 'Methodists in Hard-Fought Battle at Bloomington Saturday Afternoon —Score is 10 to O—Was a Grueling Contest.

WHAT THEY ARE UP AGAINST

WORKING ON A NEW CLEW

LOUIS PUT UP A STIFF FIGHT

As it was neither of the girls were badly hurt.

John Goodwin of Brookvllle was here yesterday for a visit with friends. Mr. Goodwin Is a DePauw graduate.

Before a crowd of 2.500 assembled on Jordan Field in Bloomington Saturday afternoon the Indiana University football team defeated the scrappy DePauw eleven by a score of 16 to 0 in a grueling and hard-fought contest. The Methodists proved to be fully as strong as they have been touted this season, and. with Indiana’s shattered lineup, they made the state school fight for every inch of ground they gained, and showed up stronger on advancing the ball than Capt. Paddock's men had an-

ticipated.

Too much praise cannot be given the Greencastle warriors for their showing, although their Interference at times was not of the best. DePauw’s line worked hard all the time the work of Harmon and Dewey at tackles being especially good. Capt. Jackson at end played an aggressive game, breaking up several forward passes, and the halves. Greenstreet and Beesey, registered several gains. With Cartwright. Capt. Scott and Howard Paddock, Hatfield, the giant tackle, and Markle out of the game, Indiana faced the Methodists with practically an unseasoned lineup. “Cotton" Berndt at quarter back was one particular star for Indiana. Besides registering the first touchdown her pulled off a number of end runs, was accurate In his forward passed and ran back punts for many yards. Johnson at end also played a star game, and, while his kicking hardly came up to what was expected of him, he was there on forward passes and played a great defensive game. Cunningham at half back made good and Winters, full back, plugged DeCONTINUKIJ ON PAGE FVHJR.

When the county local option law was before the legislators of Indiana, it will be remembered that there were several Democrats who were besieged by Republicans to vote for the bill. They were assured, In cases where they were candidates for reelection, that the temperance Republicans would support them regardless of party. How honest these assertions were may be seen in the case of Representative Greene of Miami County Scarcely had Mr. Greene reached his home after the bill passed when the Republican paper of his county came out in support of his opponent on the Republican ticket. This paper declared that Mr. Greene was deserving of no credit nor support. That he had been forced into | voting for the bill, and no honest temperance Republican could afford to scratch the Republican candidate to support Mt. Greene. In counties where Democrats who supported the bill now stand for re-election It was at once pointed out that though they stood for the county option law they were Democrats, deserved no credit and no support, for they had merely voted for and saved a Republican measure. The Republicans deserved all the erdlt, and the Republican candidate should receive all the votes of temperance people since It was a Republican bill, although passed by Mr. Greene’s Democratic vote. Such Is the attitude of the Republicans toward the hill and the people. Such, too, seems to he the attitude of the Anti-Saloon League, fop it biiw made no attempt to aid Greene in his serious situa-

tion in Miami.

President’s Son-In-Law Asks The People to Keep the Presidential Office In His Family, So to Speak

Theodore Roosevelt for president again eight years from now, was the declaration of the president’s son-in-law, Congressman Nicholas Longworth. In a speech today here on the grounds of the Tri-State exposition to an audience of several thousand persons, who cheered the sentiment

again and again.

Mr. Longworth’s

Heartrending conditions prevail in Chicago, according to Friday night's Chicago Tribune, (Rep.). The Tribune had a two column article on the front page telling of the suffering caused by the Republican panic. In

part the article said:

“There are 15,000 underfed children In Chicago who do not have three square meals a day. Of these, 10,000 specific cases have been examined and reported on by the child study department of the board of ed-

ucation.

This was the opening paragraph of a report presented Friday to the school management committee if the board of education. The document Is the result of a three months' investigation made by the city truant officers, under the direction of the compulsory education, child study and legal departments of the board. “In the canvass made by truant officers.’’ said the report, “mothers were found repeatedly who go to bed hungry themselves in order that their children may have a scant breakfast next day. This self-dental is habitual heroism In some large

families.

“We find that a large number of children have only bread saturated In water for breakfast, day after day; that the noon meal is bread or bananas and an occasional luxury of soup made from pork bones; that children often frequent south Water street begging for dead fowl In crates or decayed fruit; that others haye been found searching for food In alley garbage boxes. Several cases were reported where hungry children at school picket up crusts of bread or fragments of lunch which other children had thrown away.

The Hospital Fair was a success. Mrs. Maze was able to state this today In no uncertain manner. The books have not yet been balanced but , enough Is known of the situation to slate that the net proceeds will be not less than $260. It Is hoped that they will be In excess of this. Over $r.O was secured directly from the I sale of the little red tags that were ^ I hung from the buttons of so many

! people on Saturday.

Today Mrs. Mazo, president of the society, announced that the Association had just received a gift of two more lots in Commercial Place, one from Mrs. Hoop and one from Ol Houck. This, with the two lots already deeded to the Association, makes a respectable holding In Com-

mercial Place.

Suit has been filed by Charles F. Zeis against the C. C. C. & St. L. Railroad to collect $1,000 alleged to be owing the plaintiff. The complaint alleges that the plaintiff purchased from Ratcliff Bros, contractors, two accounts against the defendant, one for $956.71 and the other for $42. That this amount was due Ratcliff Bros, for work done on the new right of way of the defendant company. That this account was assigned In writing, and that the company has failed to pay the assignee. The defendant asks judgment for $1,000. The ease of George W. Christie against the C. C. C. & St. L. Railroad was taken up today in Circuit Court. This Is a ease venued from Hendricks County. It concerns the elosing of a highway through the construction work on the line of the defendant company while building Its newly constructed cut-off. Trial Is by Jury.

HOW THEY HONOR HANLY

Speaks at Cloverdale Saturday and Gets Cold Shoulder When he Returns to Greencastle to Beach In<liaim|H>lis That Evening.

WAS SENT TO THE TRAIN ALONE

That Governor Hanly was not popular in Greencastle was noticeable Saturday noon when be drove through town in an auto on his way to Cloverdale, and but two Republicans besides the reception committee came forward to shake his hand. What he did in Cloverdale to turn even the committee sour we do not know, but when he reached Oreencastlo the dintlngutshed visitor was turned adrift so far as the committee was concerned. He was loaded into an old buggy and driven to the Vandalia station unaccompanied by a single representative of Putnam County’s official Republicanism. It has been many a day since a man of such note has received such treatment here. Doubtless the Governor will remember with warmth and pleasure his short stay in Greencastle. His speech at Cloverdale attracted a fair crowd. The hall was comfortably filled. As to the speech Itself we have been unable to learn from the few Republicans from here who were present whether It was a success or not. Talk about the speech is not plenty. It may be that something was said that caused the frost when the Governor reached Greencastle on the home trip.
