Northern Avould noAV and then make a break to get aAvay from the officers Avho Avere closely guarding him and Avould struggle Avith superhuman strength but at last Avas bundled into a cab and taken to the hospital. The officers, Messrs. Redman, Price, King and O'Neal, are all large men but they had a tussel in the journey. Northern Avould be suddenly attacked Avith a spasm of fight in the car and the four men would haA-e to sit on him and hold him tight until the fit passed OAer, when Northern would become fairly quiet again. The clothes of the officers Avere all awry and torn and their appearance testified to the fight that they had had to keep control of their giant patient. At Rushville eight men were called in to get the handcuffs on the insane man and the sheriff was injured. Northern a feAv days ago bit the sheriff on the hand. An anaesthetic was administered to him. The officers ' say they have neA'er before had such a hard fight with an insane am.n The Rushville papers say that Northern was without doubt the hardest man to handle that was OA-er in the Rushville jail.

and NeAvman did well, much better than AAras expected, and Hill's Avork was far from bad. But the larger schools, notably M. T. H. S. and S. H. S. of Indianapolis and Sheridan and Bloomington high schools prOA'ed too much for them. The day was a A-ery 'poor one, rain pouring all morning and seA-eral times interrupting the meet itself and the track was soft and sIoav. The Richmond team did considerably better than its adherents here hoped for. Reller's fine Avork in the dashes winning him much applause anl NeAvman bore up his record well. Manford was the hero of the hour for the Richmond team despite the fact that he was not look ed upon by most of the visitors as anything but a common athlete. He came perilously winning the throw. The Richmond boys said that they were not discouraged at the showing of their team, which was greatly Aveakened by the absence of the premier athlete of the school, Genn, and thy Avill trv and do better next time.

ANOTHER RUNAWAY

WITHOUT MONEY OR EXPERIENCE IN THIS COUNTRY BY BAND OF TURKS. WILL GOTO ST. LOUIS. Where He Expects to be Taken in by Other Bands of CountrymenTells His Trouble.

Abandoned in a totally strange country, thousands of miles from his oavii home, with but little money, no experience in the ways of the Avorld and but barely able to make himself understood in the language of the country in which he was abandoned, such is the hard lot of Ali, a young Turkish boy about twenty years old Avho was at the Union Station this morning AA'aiting between trains. Ali with a company of Turks and Arabs came to this country a feAv years ago intending to wander over the country and wind up at the St. Louis fair. The party has been at fairs, etc., performing juggling and other tricks in the east for some time and were getting aong prosperously. But the leader thought that there Avere too many in the party and o the band departed one night leaing Ali, the stupidest of the band, in a totally strange company. He was buffeted around by all, doing odd jobs no wand then, and eked out a scant living. Finally bAr the aid of his own efforts and the assistance of

j strangers he accumulated enough j funds to go to St. Louis and departOF THE i ed. He arrived here this morning

and Avas waiting for the train to St. Louis when approached by a reporter,, to Avhom he told his story. His funds Avould barely enable him to reach St. Louis, he said, but he counted on being taken in by the large number of Turks and Arabs aa1io will be at the fair, if he should not find his OAvn band. He Avas full of anger at the j countrymen Avho played him such a jdirtv trick and voAved that he would jget even. He says that he wished he jhad neA-er left his natiA'e land but I that he was here he Avas going to iraake the best of circumstances and Avill trA to make enough moneA at j tlt0 fair to take llim back to Turkey with those who return there, .

FIRST RALL GAME Of the Year Took Place Yesterday Richmond Won. The taste of the basebal fans was gratified yesterday for the first time this season.

The Indianapolis team reported to be one of the strongest played well but were unable to score against the Richmond boys, who put up an exceedingly fast game. The diamond was in very poor condition and the day none of the best -but a good sized crowd was present. The final score was se'en to nothing in faA-or of Richmond. William J. Brannon of 163 Bridge Ave. leaves tonight for a trip through the West, including Iowa, Missouri and Kansas. II goes for the benefit of his health and will spend most of his time at various resorts.
