Bradley said that he was i n Brazil

early last night an<] stole a pair of overalls from a buggy near the car. nival grounds. He then wemt to the Pennsylvania railroad and walked west until he reached Staunto n where he stole a horse and buggy at the home of William Scherb about two

he had gotten away

There was only one place in the house in which the police had not looked and that w’as a closet, but as the wooden button or latch was dos ed on the door it was thought that fthQ negro could not be hiding in there. Just for curiosity Officer Keith opened the door of the shallow' Iclothes press and there stood the missing negro. Bradley had rushed into the house and had slammed the door of the closet with such force that the wooden button had been jar red into place and he had safely locked himself in the clothes press. Bradley’s home is at Connersville and he was sent to the penal farm for receiving stolen goods. Three other prisoners escaped from the farm Monday night, but none of the others have been capture^ as yet.

Pain in the chest and especially so called “pleurisy pains” are com. u in early tuberculosis. Real pleurisy is often an early symptom of the disease itself. No one of the above symptoms means tuberculosis; but any one or more of them should cause the intelli gent man to seek the advice of a thoroughly competent physician.

dead man, says the United States De-

partment of Agriculture.

Annually fatalities occur among farmers and their helpers as a result of the workmen entering half filled silos after the deadly carbon monoxide gases have had a chance to accumulate directly above the freshly ensiled corn. A few days ago two Illinois farmers were killed and another was rendered seriously sick by silo gase$ which are almost as dan gerous as the poisonous mustard gases used during the recent war. Tn this instance, one of the farm work men entered a 50-foot silo which had been half filled the previous day. Rome time elapsed and when he did not come out, another of the hands ascended into the silo. Neither reappeared trough the other workers shouted to them repeatedly to come

down.

MINERS ACCEPTS MEDIATION PLAN

- o

INDIANA STATE CAPITOL, Sept. 1.—Governor McCray received word today that unions in the Sullivan county coal fields have ratified the abitration agreement signed by miners and mine operators at a conference with the Governor on Tuesday. Under the provisions of the agreement, all questions in dispute between the miners and operators are (to be referred for “full and final settlement” to a committee composed of John Hessler, president of district No. 11, United Mine Workers of America, and P. H. Penna of Terre Haute, secretary and treasurer of the Indiana Bituminous Coal Operator’s Association. Governor McCray immediately took steps to get in touch with Mr. Hess ler and Mr. Penna to arrange for a meeting of the arbitration committee. The Governor said this meeting will be held at the earliest possible mo-

ment.

Praise Given Governor Acceptance <tf the agreement by the unions at the Glendora, Peerless and Star City mines is -considered a complete victory for the program of Governor McCray to maintain law and order in the Indiana coal fields. Commendatory statements were heard from many officials on the man ner in w-hich the Governor has handled the situation in the district. Troubles, from which mob disorders have been reported, have resulted from differences between the miners and operators on “questions of administration.” They have included alleged favoritism in the employment (of men. Disorders, according to reports to the Governor, have resulted largely from unemployment.
