It will be remembered that Charley was crushed by a timber weighing over a ton, falling across his body and pinning him to the "round. His familv is at his side and while the least movement causes great pain it is evident that in a few weeks he will be so far recovered as to be able to sit up. FOOTBALL COACH Of Earlham Next Year Will be Tenneth W. Brewer. Tenneth W. Brewer, formerly the football coach of Shortridge high school at Indianapolis, has been appointed football coach at Earlham for the coming season.

A smooth, v?eV dressed man appeared on the streets here yesterday, lie was tidy in appearance, and made all kinds of protestations as to his affairs. He told those with whom he came in contact that he was stopping at The Westcott and that he represented an eastern firm, and that his special line was ladies' shirt waists, but it later developed that he was interested in ladies' skirts.

OPENING OF R. M. CARNIVAL OCCURRED LAST NIGHT, LARGE CROWD WAS PRESENT AND GREATLY PLEASED. WEATHER RELENTED And Gave a Good Evening Rumor That Shows Will be Here Next Week.

For the first time this week the Carnival company was able to do a good business last night. The weather man -relented (but came back this morning, however) sufficiently long to give the people a taste of what the carnival would really be like if the weather permitted. A good sized crowd was waiting at the gates long before seven and from that time until nine a steady stream of people went in. The out of town people w' came down wrere not disappointed as they have been for the other nights of the , week. Indeed the whole affair was a success. The multitude of lights lit up the whole of west Richmond andfo r the first time this week the electrical display was at its best. Arc lights, colored lights ,all kinds of lights were shining and the grounds were as bright as day. All the shows opened up early and did a fine business. Last night was the first time many of the shows opened their doors this week and they wanted to make up for Monday and Tuesday nights. The Ferris wheel was in, operation, Diavolo looped the loop and countless attractions were offered to the public. The shws do not differ materially 'from what they were last year, save that a few have been cut out and ' a few new ones installed. From most opinions that. wTere expressed the carnival pleased nearly everybody and what more need be asked? It is rumored that the company will try to arrange its dates so as to show here the first three evenings of next week in order to even things up. It looks as though this step would be needed, judging from the weather today. OPENING In Gillespie Trial Made Griffith. by Mr (By Associated Press.) Rising Sun, Ind., May 19.
