Struck Open Switch.

Eleven persons, some of whom are Hancock county people, were hurt Wednesday evening when a traction car on the Rushville line plunged into an open switch as it was leaving Indianapolis crowded with passengers returning from the state fair.

Among the injured are Harry Gundrum and Mrs. Mary Bessley, of New Palestine, both bruised Mrs. John W. Wissing, of Arlington C. A. Lewis and Joseph Zike, and Miss Mary Lucas, of Morristown, bruised Miss Sadie Broadhead, Clayton Eagler, Miss Ruth Spivey, of Rushville, and Henry Lichtenbery, of Indianapolis. Miss Spivey and Mr. Lichtenbery were taken to hospitals., being the most seriously injured. i^The car plunged into a switch that leads from the main track of the city street railway system to a loop on which the city cars make the turn for the trip down town.

Samuel Wafuel, of Rushville, motorman of the car, attributed the wreck directly to the failure of the brakes to operate, saying that he saw the switch was open, but he was unable to stop his car. About 100 persons were on the car. The victims who were not taken to the hospitals were cared for by persons in the neighborhood, and later were able to proceed home. Miss Spivey, the most seriously injured, is expected to recover.

BIHFORD REUNION COMPLETE SUCCESS

Hearty Greetings, Excellent Dinner and Enjoyable Program At Their Annual Meeting.

The third Binford family reunion was held in Walnut Ridge Grove, Tuesday, August 27th. For the third time they wefe favored with a pleasant and beautiful day, which always adds so much to the happiness of the occasion.

The company began gathering rather slowly, but increased with great rapidity later, especially the last hour before noon, and some even later. As in the former reunions, the crowds collected not only from the various towns and cities of this state, but from a few distant states, including Ohio, Kentucky, Kansas, Utah and California. There were letters of greeting read from persons living in Illinois, Iowa, and Calcutta, India. One noticeable feature was the large number of children present. The crowd almost measured up to that of Spring Lake Park two years ago, which was thought to be about 300. Doubtless there would have been many more' had the thrashing all been done.

Glad, joyous and inspiring were the greetings of separated relatives. Many things take place in two years. Many to make us glad and others to make us sad. Among the latter is the loss of dear ones, prominent among which are Rev. J. O. Binford and J. H. Binford.

The dinner hour was one of great interest to all. It was well up to the standard, which is a very high one. When the baskets were carefully emptied and the contents placed on the long, decorated tables, with all the good things our season affords, it certainly was a pretty, tempting sight, and judging from the actions, the food tasted as good as it looked. The blessing was asked by Jared P. Binford. The literary program, beginning at 2 o' m., opened witti the singing of "Abide With Me," by a quartet of the Winslow Brothers.

As to devotional, Rev. Morris Outland read the 91st Psalm and made an appropriate prayer. The minutes of last meeting were read and, with one correction, approved.

Solo, Aubrey Robb, "The Rosary." "Family Tree," prepared by David Binford and explained by Mary L. Bruner.

Recitation, Lucile Pritchard. Continued History, Aquilla Binford, of Fountaintown, Ind.

Recitation, Anna Mildred Coffin, "My Sister's Making Candy." Talk by Dr. Mary L. Bruner, "The Ladd Binford History." Through Thaddeus Binford's liberality, they secured the history and obtained valuable information. The question was discussed as to the advisability of having this family tree published. A committee to see to selling enough books at $3 or $5 to pay the printer was named. They are Eldon Robb, Nathan C. Binford and Aquilla Binford.

Reading, Etta Butler, of Lewisville, Ind. The treasurer's report was read and accepted.

The same officers were re-elect-ed, viz: B. S. Binford, president Aquilla Binford, vice president Martha J. Elliott, secretary and Charles S. Winslow, treasurer.

The reunion was voted to meet again in two years from this date, the last Tuesday in, August, but the place is to be left in the hands of the committee.

Song, "Lead Me Gently," by the choir. The literary part of the program adjourned to meet in 1914.

Dr. B. S. Binford, Pres. Martha J. Elliott, Sec'y.

6ET OOBQ GAS WELL ON DUNCAN FARM

On R. R. 1, in Brandywine Township, Had Good Flow of Gas Without Being Shot—Was

Drilled by Montrose

Harrison H. Duncan, of R. R. 1, in Brandywine township, has within the last few days brought in anew gas well on his farm. The well waS drilled by P. S. Montrose. It is one of the best gas wells drilled in that section within many years. There is a fine strong flow of g^s, and this is only the more gratifying from the fact that the Well did not have to be shot to get the gas. Mr. Duncan has been connected with a gas company in the neighborhood for a long time, but recently concluded that a good flow of gas probably could be secured by drilling on his farm, and his efforts were bountifully rewarded, and he is much pleasedwith the fine supply of gas.
