Considerable excitement was caused on Main street yesterday when the ne- i gro formerly employed by the Fink comedy mulct, and dogs, free attrac tions at the fair, got on a rampage and threatened to carve the manager of the attractions. The black, who waa I employed to ride the mule, claimed he was insulted by the manager and i rushed into August Wirti's hardware tore and would have grabbed a rasor out of the show case and done bodily harm to the manager but for the timely intervention of Mr. Wirtz, who grabbed him before he could lay hands on the weapon. He waa finally pacified but was a mad, bad nigger for the time being. Charley Clark, the bus driver, met with a bad accident., to one of his horses while driving down to the fair grounds last evening, an automobile driven, by E. J. Nichols of Chicago Heights colliding with the outfit and badly injuring one of the animals. No bones were broken, but the horse will be put out of commission for some time on account of the impact with the machine. The runeral of Mrs. Anna M. Dale will be held at her late home on Court street at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon, instead of at the Presbyterian Church as was t first reported.

The remains will be laid to rest In the Crown Point cemetery, mourned by all who knew her kindly spirit. The boy scout drill at the fair grounds grand stand platfofm yesterday was a most interesting spectacle and outpointed for interest some of the free attractions that the Fair society had to pay good American dollars for.

Allman, James Higglns, Lester Westerman and Herbert Jones, who all seemed to be well verged In the work.

BAD WRECK IMPERILS LIVES lConnuel r-oin Page ooal has been in the service of the Erie for a quarter of a century and has had a perfect record. Railroaders say that it is inevitable, that as long as men are human they will make mistakes, sooner or later. Going 40 Miles. The Erie engine was traveling at a rate of speed estimated at forty miles an hour. Clarence Wise says that "it was going like h . When I saw that the express was running by my target I felt weak and sick. I knew that I could do nothing," Wise said this morning. "It looked to me aa If every human being on the Nickle Tlate would be killed. Hit a scantling with an axe as hard as you can and watch the parts fly. That's the way the twelve coaches on the Nickle Plato would have gone. Jumps For Life. "I saw the Erie engine rise into the air and the engineer leap from his cab directly In front of the Nickle Plate engine. He rolled to safety but how I cannot say. Some higher power must have lifted him from the track of that engine. When the Erie engine toppled over it stove in the rear

SIIESBES Pullman of the Nickle Plate. Just crushed In a portion of the side. No I didn't throw the Erie off to avoid a collision, the engineer ran by the targets." Palmer Hnrt. John Dormity, conductor of the Wells Fargo train and J. B. Hoffman, fireman could not testify in behalf of their engineer. An Investigation Is under foot today. It Is understood that Palmer was painfully hurt and a porter on tha Nickle Tlate Injured. STORM WAS BOON TO PEOPLE rContlnned from Pacta 1.1 rain. Potatoes lying In low ground might suffer and heavy corn might be damaged to some extent by heavy winds. On the. whole, however, the water fall will benefit everybody as It will greatly help the pasture. Then a cloud burst came In the midst of the wind and elertrical storm at twelve o'clock last night and for a quarter of an hour Lake County wag flooded by the swiftest fall of rain in recent years. A half inch of water is said to have descended In fifteen minutes. Earlier In the evening a wind swept oft the lake carrying everything moveable before It, Including way fafers. T'mbrellas were turned Inside out In one burst. chicken coops tangoed around the farmyards, bossies swayed and loose lumber fairly flew. Havoc nt Robertsdale. , Along the Lake front from Robey to Robertsdale tree were uprooted and electric light posts blown down. Two hundred telephones w-ere out of order in Hammond this morning. Robertsdale received the brunt of the storm and trees were snapped in twain. Traction service was demoralized. Worse Arro the Line. The violent windstorm, accompanied by vivid lightning and a heavy downpour of rain which cost at least- one life, injured a score of persons and caused heavy damage to property in the city of Chicago. The southern part of the city felt the worst of the storm. Throughout Jackson Park, Washington Park, the campus of the University of Chicago, the Midway, Englewood and other points trees were uprooted, roofs blown off. buildings struck by lightning and streets flooded by rain. The damage to plate-glass windows will amount to thousands of dollars It Is believed. One man wss killed when lightning put out the lights In a theater and he grasped a live wire in trying to turn them on. The main tent of the Gentry show was blown down, causing panic among 500 persons burled under the canvas In the dark, and causing lions and other animals to break loose. A street carnival on JIalsted street, between 65th and 6th was wrecked by wind and water. The streets in the vicinity of TTnlon and Sixty-fourth were badly flooded. WILSON SAYS TO CONGRESS 'HANDS OFF President Will Read Message Giving Inside Facts of Mexican Situation. Washington, D. C, Aug. 22. President Wilson was at work late last night on the special message he probably will read to both houses of congress next Monday, relating In detail the negotiations conducted through his personal representative, John Lind, with the Huerta government in Mexico. The decision to make a comprehensive statement on the situation was reached after the president had nearly decided that the negotiations between Mr. Lind and Provisional President Huerta since the exchange of notes had developed no new basis for discussion. With his message the president will present the two notes, setting forth the American suggestions to the Huerta government and its replv. Should he read the document himself, which he is being urged to do by members of his cabinet and to which idea he Is Btrongly inclined, it would be the first time since the days of George Washington that a president has communicated a matter of foreign policy In person to the legislative branch of the government.
