AN INTERURBAN FREIGHT CAR RUNS WILD FOR MILESCOLLIDES WITH PAS

SENGER CAR HERE

MUCH DAMAGE WAS DONE

Freight Car Motorman, Chas. Volderol, Seriously Injured in Collision Conductor Left Car at

Cumberland Freight Telescoped Passenger Car Standing at Car Barns in This City.

From Tuesday's Daily

A very disastrous wreck occurred at the T. H. I. & E. car barns at the east end of this city this morning shortly after 6 o'clock. The east bound interurban freight car which was due here from Indianapolis at about 6 o'clock this morning, became uncontrollable about eight or ten miles west of this city and ran wild through the country an(j. the business portion of this city. A passenger car had just pulled out from the car barns onto the .main track and headed for the east when the motorman of the passenger car looked back and saw the freight car coming down the track at a terrific speed. In an instant the freight car crashed into the fear end of the passenger car and telescoped it for a distance of ten or twelve feet.

The motorman on the freight car was found unconscious in the front end of the car under the debris, and was badly bruised about the head and face. His clothing was badly burned where he had fallen against the stove in the forward end of the car.

The conductor of the freight car was not on the car at the time of the collision, as he was unable to catch trie car as it started from Cumberland where they made their last stop. There were only a, few passengers on the passenger car, and all escaped injury with the exception of a few minor bruises.

The freight car was in charge of Charles Volderol, motorman, and John Newbold, conductor, both Indianapolis men. The car was heavily loaded with freight, which was badly damaged, and the crowded condition prevented the motorman from jumping to safety.

Sam Tapscott, the motorman in charge of the passenger car, was standing in the aisle of his car and in the doorway leading to the vestibule at the front end. When the crash came he was thrown against the side of the door and received a slight bruise on the face.

The wrecking crew went to work at once clearing the debris from the track, and traffic was not long delayed. The exact cause of the failure of the motorman to stop his car is unknown, as his condition is so serious that he was unable to make any statement concerning the wreck.

AUTOMOBILE STRIKES CURB

Mian Has Trying Experience With Machine.

Monday evening while two men who had driven their vehicles up side by side, were talking, C. R. Vanmeter came up from East Main street and started around the corner into North State street in his automobile. At once seeing that the street was almost blockaded, he gave his machine a quick turn for the west side of State street, and then seeing straight ahead another buggy, he gave the auto another sharp turn for the east side of the street, striking the curb with some force and breaking one of the wheels down.

Mr. Vanmeter handled his machine with the quickness and skill of a professional or the result of the accident might have been very serious. After he brought his machine to a standstill he stepped out and looking around made the remark, "That's going some."

IH SNOW TALKS OF MISSOURI umo

Former Hancock County Farmer is Making Good Money in the Mississippi Valley.

Thad Snow, formerly of Blue River township, this county, but now located in the fertile, productive valley of the Mississippi River in Eastern Missouri, while here visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Snow, a few days ago, talked in an interesting manner about the land in the section in which he now lives. He has been there for two years, and is now putting out his third crop. He reports that the wheat is looking fine and that the wheat in that section is as sure a crop as corn. The alfalfa crop is now growing nicely and will be ready for the first cutting in May. Mr. Snow raised a great deal of corn last year and now has on hand 2,000 bushels. He says his handling of hogs has been very profitable. He has already fed out 600 hogs on last year's corn crop, and now is feeding more than 300. He is much pleased with his experience from a business standpoint.

One of the great needs of that country is good roads, and as the Missouri Legislature has just recently passed a law providing for the construction of highways, Mr. Snow expects to see roads constructed in that section before lojig. In fact he expects the movement to develop at once.

Following is an article taken from a Missouri paper concerning an address given by Mr. Snow at a big meeting of farmers: "In an eloquent talk before the assembled farmers at the Farmers' institute last Thursday, Thad Snow a well known scientific farmer of this locality, pointed out that to interest northern capital in the projects necessary to the growth of this district was the only logical procedure in bringing about the desired results. Mr. Snow in his talk recommended the construction of a good rock road from this city to the Mississippi river as the means of giving the district the proper connection with Cairo and the eastern markets, and at the same time opening up the vast belt of rich land between this city and the river to a traffic now unknown.

While the speaker's talk was chiefly along lines of good roads, he made other recommendations which appeared to gain favor with the assembled farmers and representatives of the business interests of the community. In this connection he pointed out the advantage of small individual farms over the large tracts now owned by large interests and covered by a few tenants who are expected to care for three men's work, so to speak, in that more families would settle on this rich area and be the means of creating a better market at home for many products which are now dependent on bad railroad service and *high freight rates. Increased population, pointed out Mr. Snow, would create new demands for better roads and would be the means of securing the leaders most desired within a short time. "Mr. Snow impressed his hearers as being not only well acquainted with his subject but that he was alive to the real needs of the country and the primary steps which will ultimately bring about the desired results."

For many weeks it was feared that he would be totally blind, but his eyes were so sensitive to light for a long time that he could not expose them for a test without great pain. They are better now, and he can distinguish objects and walk along the street where he knows the streets, but while he can distinguish people and other objects on the street, he can not see sufficiently to determine the identity of anyone he meets. It is hoped that the sigh^ of one eye will be wholly restored, but the other eye may be totally blind.

THE INTERNATIONAL "BEN HUR'

To Be Staged at Indianapolis. All the Oriental splendor of the Indian Durbar which King George V, of England journeyed to Delhi in India, to take part in, will be brought to the door of Indianapolis in Klaw & Erlanger's elaborate new production of "Ben Hur," which inaugurates an engagement at the English opera house, week commencing Monday evening, March 31st, with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday.

Never before in the history of the stage has there been so muph wealth expended on the presentation of a historical spectacle. Flashing jewels, dazzling armor, magnificent robes, superb draperies, the marvelous rugs of the Far East, the costly furnishings of 2,000 years ago—all these things are combined and displayed in the wonderful revival. Klaw and Erlanger, owners of this wonderful piece of theatrical property, have given it a production which in magnitude and spectacular grandeur eclipses any production shown up to date on the American stage or in the theater of any other country. The magnitude of the scenic settings is of such a nature that there are only a few theaters with stages large enough to accommodate the equipment.

Carpenters, electricians and a horde of other workers are now in possession of the English opera house stage, getting ready for this production, and when the curtain does rise on the solemn and beautiful scene in the desert, where the Wise Men are waiting for the signal, the Star of Bethlehem, to point them the way to the Messiah, the spectator will view the spectacular achievement of American stagecraft. Klaw and Erlanger taxed the enormous resources of their theatrical plant in every department in building this new equipment. Their scenic artists and costumers, with their engineers and electricians worked for one solid year in combination and under the direction of artists and historians, antiquarians and scholars, to accomplish the seemingly impossible the effacement of former memories of "Ben Hur" productions. With this new spectacle they have built for themselves a monument as enduring as the name of Shakespeare in the glories and beauties of the new setting for the greatest story the world has ever known, "The Tale of the Christ."

The sale of seats begins Thursday, March 27th. The prices are 50c to $1.50. ,M
