TWO LOCKED IN IRON VAULT

Man and Girl Owe Lives to Chance Opening of Safe Door. Anderson, Ind., Sept. 2. — Ray Griswold and Miss Irene Smart, employed in the auditing department of the Indiana Union Traction company, had a narrow escape from death by suffocation when the large iron door of the steel vault was inadvertently slammed shut while they were inside. Owing to the thickness of the door their cries could not be heard in the outer office and to the fact that threequarters of an hour later the head clerk had occasion to get some papers out,of the vault, they probably owe their lives. It is not believed that either would have lived a half hour longer in the close confinement

Mrs. Carpenter died a Tew months ago. she being her husband’s junior by a year and their married life having covered a period of nearly sev-enty-five years.

DOG ORDINANCE INEFFECTIVE

Law at Kokomo Fails to Check Ravages on Cattle. Kokomo, Ind., Sept. 2. Evidently Kokomo’s deg-muzzling ordinance is not a complete success. A bunch of vicious dogs which he. is convinced came from Kokomo visited the farm of William Tate, just east of the city. They attacked the cows in the pasture, biting several of them and wounding a fine milch cow. Tate followed the dogs with a gun. but in the dark could not get an effective shot at them. They next raided the stock on the farm of J. H. Hinchman, nearby, attacking a number of hogs. Several were bitten, and one was so badly mangled that it will probably die.
