BOLD BURGLAR CAUGHT I ACT
"WILLIAM H. ARTIS, A RICHMOND. NEGRO, ROBS HIS FORMER EMPLOYER. SECURED $21 DOLLARS Tbree Shots Tired With No Attempt " at Inja.y Robber Arrested Arraignment. - Last evening about 6:30 ihe peace and quiet of the Sabbath wer3 disturbed by the report of a pistol, the ound comuig from the vicinity of ninth and Main streets. On investigation it was found that the shooting was done by Harry Alford, manager of the drug company of the same r:ame. For some time past small amounts of money nave been missed from the store, from time to time,' and the management has been watching closely the movements rf a certain party, feeling sure that in the course of a short time he would be enabled to loeate his man. Last evening he thought would be a good tim? to do a little detective work, and, accordingly, Mr. Aiford and the eleik, Harry Cecil, put themselves in hiding and abided then time. They did not have to wait long; for they soon heard the sound of a key entering the lock of the side door, the lock turned back and the tall form of William H. Artis, a former porter r.t the stoe, entered, and walked stealthily toward and to the ca-h register, with which he became familiar when hi worked at the store. He opened th? register and took therefrom about $21, pocketed the anie and was about to retire, when Mr. Alford called to him to hold up his hands, pointing a revolver at him. Jt seems as if the revolver had little terror for him; for he rushed at the two men who were in hiding, and a deperate life and death struggle ensued. Harry Alford, who held the pistol in his hand, fired three shots, thinking to frighten -the negro into submission. The two men were not equal to the strength of the powerful negro and Mr. Green, the livery man, who heard the shots, came to their assistance. A great crowd soon congregated and excitement ran high. Officer Golden was called, and, pfter a fierce fight, landed Artis in the city jail. The officer had to use his lub to a considerable extent before Artis could be taken. When he was placed in jail and , searched a key to the store was found in his pocket, which he had evidently stolen while he Avorked at the store. Artis is a married man, with a very bad naraet and lives with his wife at 421 south fifth street. Artis Avili have a preliminary hearing tomorrow morning before Mayor Zimmerman. m CHILDREN To be Interested in the Music Festival. The following communication was addressed to Supt.

GOVERNOR AND SENATOR Other Indiana Congressmen Would Like a Show. A special dispatch from Washington to the Louisville Herald sajs that word reached members of the Indiana delegation in the House of Representatives Saturday to the effect that Governor Durbin has formed an alliance with Frank Hanley, of Lafayette whereby each will promote the other's political interests. Durbin as pires to be Senator Fairbanks' suc cessor, while Hanley is a candidate to succeed Durbin. The combination, says the dispatch, is invading every district in the state and is creating perturbation among other senatorial and gubernatorial candidates. Among the former are Representatives Hernenway and C. B. Landis, who are compelled to neglect their senatorial canvass by remaining in Washington while congress is in session. Efforts are being made to induce Mr. Fairbanks to make a formal declaration of his candidacy for the Republican vice presidential nomination. The senator has been a receptive candidate up to this time. If he makes such an announcement it wilt have a tendency to clarify the atmosphere and perhaps enable Messrs.! lemenway, Landis" and others to catch up, with Durbin. HEALTH OFFICE.

WALLACE'S SHOW PERISHED IN FLOOD
SUCH ARE THE FEARS OF THE OWNER OF THE CIRCUS--BEN WALLACE. WINTER QUARTERS AT PERU On the Banks of Two Rivers, Under Water No Chance For Rescue. Peru, Ind., March 28.--It is believed that Wallace's menagerie of wild animals has perished in the flood caused by the rising of the Wabash and Mississnewa rivers. The winter quarters of the Wallace circus occupy a farm situated at the junction of the two rivers and on the opposite side from this city. There is no means of attempting to rescue the caged animals, nor is there any way of ascertaining their fate. From a hillside half a mile this side of the barns it can be seen that the buildings are under at least six feet of water, and Mr. Wallace believes his valuable collection of animals has been destroyed He is unable to place an estimate on the loss, as the collection includes the only litter of panthers in captivity and several baby lions, but he says it would be heavy. At 8 o'clock last night the rivers began to drop slightly, but not before the Indianapolis Northern Traction company's $35,000 bridge over the Wabash river had been swept away. The homes of the twelve hundred residents of south Peru are still under water, as well as many homes in east and west Peru and Elmwood, besides river for a distance of three miles. In some instances the flood-bound people are living in the second stories of their homes, but for the most part hey have sought safety in the city proper. The C., C. & L. railroad was unable to move any trains yesterday. The Wabash and Lake Erie railroads are having no trouble at this city, but the Peru, Wabash & Logansport traction line is tied up. Many cases of sickness have been reported since the flood swept over the city, and it is feared there will be a great fatality among the victims of measles, which is now an epidemic in this city. There has been no loss of life, but many narrow escapes have been reported. WATSON SPEAKS To Supervising Architect About Our Federal Building. The following dispatch from Washington shows the interest our congressman is taking in Richmond's Federal building: Congressman Watson had an interiew today with Assistant Secretary of Treasury aylor about the plans for the Federal building at Richmond, which are altogether unsatisfactory to the people there.

Taylor suggested that the Congressman and ihe Richmond people restrain themselves until the bids for the construction of the building came in. He said he hoped for a satisfactory solution.

1VU1Aj MiilfiO REPRESENTATIVE 11 l 11 lint ill v ANSWERS THE STATEMENT PRINTED IN THE PALLADIUM FROM EARLHAM. EARLHAM NOT RESPONSIBLE For the Thought in Feeger's Oration, Says President KeUy. Mr. Kanaley of Notre Dame, when asked his opinion of the statement from Earllt.im, in regard to the contest said in part : "If Mr. Feeger has a letter of mine in his possession which might in any way be construed to mean that the contest might be transferred from Notre Dame to Richmond, the proper place for him to have produced that letter was at the meeting in Indianapolis before the state board. "Mr. Kennedy had the letter in his possession at that meeting and when Notre Dame's representatives asked that the letter be shown to the delegates, he refused to read it. If there was anything in my letter that would compromise Notre Dame, I asked that it be .submitted to the convention then and there. Nothing was forthcoming and the insinuation of Earlham was seen to be groundless. "I have written four letters to Mr. Feeger and sent him the official oaper in all of which it was clearly stated that the contest would not be held at Earlham. Now that the faculty can assume the position it does seems to me to be the result of the decision of i, A 1 3 3 ,-1 IV. 11. e lue siaie yumu, auu ziul me itr&uu ui a careful review of the facts of the case. The circular letter I sent out. I beg leave to ask the faculty of Earlham to examine. It will be seen that there is.no undermining and that the letters were fair and conciliatory. w ."It is another strange fact that ihe faculty of Earlham now attempts to defend Mr. Feeger after President Kelly informed us three weeks ago that Earlham College could not hold itself responsible for the thought expressed in the oration. For the remaining. at!a"cks of the article of the faculty of Earlham I will pass them by, as they re purely personal. "In "conclusion I may state that Notre Dame was guided in the whole affair by idoals of justice and fairness, and appealed to the state board only on these grounds. "Notre Dame as well as every other college in the association, was extremely sorry that the situation arose nut we believe that, inasmuch as it did come, the state board was actuated by ideals of fairmindedness, justice and courtesj'. "I believe that Earlham Is not acting graciously toward the state board, which gav-3 its unanimous decision. Notre Dame would certainly have accepted the decision of the board under such circumstances." APPELTlTElODRT To Hear tne Nixon Paper MiU Case Today. T. J. Study and John L.
