Horse or a Fight —You Could Find Either in Traders’ Alley

BY HEZE CLARK Tine* SUIT Writer. TEN dollars—good horse! 12nag! Before Traders' Alley, alia* Jockey Alley, was paved years ago, that was the market. Sometimes, it seems, you got a nag for the price of a horse, but there is no case on record where one got a horse for the price of a nag. The most searching police minds, recalling the peccadillos of some of the Alley’s mast famous characters, sigh, scratch their

heads and remark that many a memory is buried under that new street. The position is Pearl street, from Missouri to West street. The vintage is the horse era, when a man was a man and a horse was a

Fire Hazards Charted in High Risk District Potential Dangers Listed in Book by Captain Gregory and His Friend George W. Bunting.

DANGEROUS fire District 10, jammed with tinder-like frame houses and warehouses filled with acids, explosives and gasoline, and netted with high voltage wires, has been charted completely by energetic Captain Charles Gregory, engine house No. 10, and his old friend, George W. Bunting, a former architect and a fire-fighting fan. For a year Captain Gregory and Mr. Bunting have been completing the intricate charts in a little leather-bound book in the engine house office. The captain and his men have given their days off to visit the various factories and other structures in the area.

Each entrance, exit, fire hazard, and other necessary material was noted accurately and turned over to Mr. Bunting who filled out the diagram. The area is bounded on the south by McCarty street, on the east by Pennsylvania street, on the west by White river and north by ’the Union station. Such concerns as E. C. Atkins, Lilly Varnish Company, Advance Paint Company, Diamond Chain and Manufacturing Company, the union station and the Wabash Realty Company holdings are included in the territory. Engine House 10, one of the oldest companies in the city, also holds the world’s championship for leaving the station and throwing water from 250 feet of hose in nineteen seconds. a * CAPTAIN GREGORY, twentyseven years a fireman, has served at Engine House 10 approximately eighteen years. Mr. Bunting was fire chief at Brightwood when it was a separate town. Part of the leather-bound book is dedicated to detailed instructions in handling explosives, high tension wires and acids. “When we get an alarm to a place where acids are stored I want my men to know just what to do,” Captain Gregory pointed out. He has figured out to the inch how near a fire hose safely may come to a high tension wire, where each entrance and fire door is located in a large building and where each fireman should be in case of fire at the various places in his district. One building, containing lortyMarie Sullivan, Indianapolis public school teacher, with whom she lived, and two brothers, Daniel Harrington. and John Harrington, both of Indianaoplis.

gamble, or maybe a corpse before you got him home. There are hundreds of stories about the place, true and untrue. Many of these stories have been recalled by the old-timers who have noticed workmen busily engaged in repaving the alley as a federal emergency relief project. a a a ONE of the stories deals with a gentleman who had one roan mare and wanted another of thb same hue. He bought a matched steed in Traders’ Alley, paid a fancy price and left With his perambulating merchandise. Half way home the horse sighed gently and upset all hi£*plans by lying with great contentment in the middle of the road-dead. A postmortem appraisal showed the animal was afflicted with the heaves (but her nostrils were plugged), with general debility (bat she was doped), and with several other horse failings that momentarily were somehow comouflaged. Sometimes a buyer, not trusting himself in the intricate business of the Alley, would hire a resident horse trader to make a deal for him. Professional pride then usually overcame professional instinct and generally the buyer got value received. Junk dealers would rent drive-them-yourself horses for the busi-

eight apartments, in this district has no fire escapes. Every possible place where a fireman might enter the building is charted. There is a little wooden shed in the rear of a vacant house on Henry street. That is listed. The firemen are drilled on the fire hazards and are required to consult the book. an n MEMBERS of the house besides Captain Gregory are Lieutenant John J. Monahan, Herbert L. Dwyer, Joseph J. Jordan, John F. Steiner, Leßoy Washburn, Albert R. Stemmer, John R. Costello, Stephen J. Toner, John W. Ward, Bernard W. Boren and John L, Sullivan. When the survey revealed that large quantities of ammonia were stored in several of the buildings, Captain Gregory and Mr. Bunting prepared red tags to place on each tank, so that in case of fire the fire-fighter would be forewarned. Sitting around the stove as they frequently do on dull days, the firemen will discuss the fire hazards. “The nearest exit is near the north end of the building,” one will contend. “No, it’s in the south end,” another will argue. The upshot always is that the boys troop upstairs to look in the book. That settles every argument. _

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ness day. The rental was a dollar—no fuss about mileage. All the renter had to do was pay the dollar. Bams in the Alley were huge affairs, housing as many as fifty horses each. One was owned by Sawyer, one by Charles Slick and one by Bill and Jim Henry. n n a AROUND those bams worked Crere De Homey, Ngero, who was the hardest, and yet the easiest, man in Indianapolis to arrest, police recall.

The etiquette was easy, once the officer got onto it. Go to Crede and say, “Crede, you’re under arrest.” He would say, “All right, call the wagon.” And no more peace-lov-ing citizen ever was carted away to the jailhouse. But if you laid the heavy arm of the law on his guilty shoulder and said, “Come on, here, you’re arrested,” the chances were you would have a heavy, even if guilty fist, laid square on the nose to the infinite awkwardness of the law, the courts and the individual. One a police officer, not knowing the peculiar De Horney protocol about such matters, began to take him forcibly to jail. He repented during convalescence. Joe Thomas, Negro, was a particular pal of Crede’s, and Elmer (Snooks) Tharp did some horse trading while the two were around. Pat Ryan was manager of a barn at Pearl and Missouri streets, which extended down across the ground now occupied by Hoosier Pete’s gas station. an ONE of the most stubborn and willful citizens of the Alley was a goat, whose named is reported to have been Sam. One hard and fast rule the goat observed was not to permit a uniformed policeman down the Alley unless the officer first bribed the goat with a cigarette or a chew of tobacco. Sam never indorsed a brand, however, having made a reluctant demise before a colorful personality was worth a signature. Bill Henry used to go west and bring in great strings of bucking broncos and other unreasonable horses. As the pavement is laid in Traders’ alley, policemen who knew it then murmur that you usually could get anything from a horse to a fight there—and usually did. The only exception was a really good horse!

QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the,, substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 20 years, and calomel’s oldtime enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation. Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, just a healing, soothing vegetable laxative safe and pleasant. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-col-ored tablets. They help cause the bowels to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you have a “dark brown mouth”— bad breath —a dull, tired feeling—sick headache caused by constipation—you should find quick, sure and pleasant results from one or two of Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. Thousands take them to keep right. Try them. 15c, 30c, 60c. —Advertisement.
