WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP CONj VENTION AT MILTON. THREE FIGHTS AT ONCE One Man Had His Head InjuredOne Man Arrested and Later Taken From Jail. (Special to the Palladium.) .Milton, Indiana, September G. The "Washington townschip Demo-

eratic convention met at Kinsey's hall I Milton, Saturday afternoon. Seldom has so active a canvas of voters been

made as was done by the candidates and their friends, so a large crowd and a lively time was expected though the affair was not announced to have such a climax as developed. The first ballot for trustee showed 32 votes for Benton Wagner, 67 for Lewis Kleiber and 70 for Lafe Beeson. According to a previous resolution the lowest man was to drop out, which resulted in the Wagner vote being divided between Beeson and Kleiber, resulting in a tie, each receiving S6 votes on the second ballot. Things weYe getting "strenuous" and every movement was watched closely. On the third ballot while the men were filing by the box depositing ballots a man-Avas accused of voting twice. In less than no time there were three fights going on at once in the little hall and perhaps the liveliest time ever given there was on for a few

fV minutes. In spite of the efforts to

ceeded ' Until- the meeting . was hastily adjourned to meet next Saturday afternoon. One man in an effort to promote peace that s would have been a eredt to ' Mark Twain 's ' ' Buck Fanshaw," was caressed over the head , fey a fellow whose fingers were decorted with "brass knacks." Another fellow, one of the 10 or 15 who "had had his mornin' " as the Scotch people in Drumtochty say, fell down the long flight of steps leading to the hall and injured his head. Jesse Warren wonted to continue the fuss after reaching the street and was arrested, really arrested! the only one in the lot and the first in Milton in a long time to be so treated. His friends did not permit him to suffer the pangs of imprisonment in the calaboose long for in the night lime he was rescued by some one or ones breaking the lock on the cell. Mr. Doddridge, township trustee, who presided at the meeting, says: "I could do nothing with them. Some one else will have to preside next time." The best peo ple of the township of all parties regard the affair as a disgrace, and lay it to the proper place, drunkenness. Many who heretofore had refused to sign a saloon remonstrance openly declaim their intention to do so the first opportunity. Creoles and Southerners, to the Front A Great Celebration. A special telegram to the Associated Press on Saturday from Newport News read as follows: Miss Juanita Lallande, member of a most distinguished Creole family of New Orleans, crashed a bottle of native wine on the prow of the Louisianna today amid a storm of cheering, shrieking whistles and the music of a band, 'the great battleship, the most powerful fighting vessel in the American navy went easily gliding from the dry dock of the Newport News shipbuilding Dry Dock Company. A special train bore Gov. -W. W. Heard, Lieut. Gov. Sanders, Miss Lallande and a party of prominent Louisianians to Newport News. Gov. A. J. Montague, Mr. Julian Tascherau and his staff, Rear Admiral Harringyon comnianderof the Norfolk navy yard, a delegation of naval officers from Washington and a party of

officers from port Monroe met . the guests. While these folks were dashing a bottle of the sparkling fluid on the Louisianna's bow, another little Creole, a playmate of the big battleship's sponsor, little Mareelle Julien Dolores Tascheran, was holding full sway at Atlantic City with the Miss Bob White" Co., of which she is a member. She had Northerners and Southerners alike worshipping at her shrine as so, as can be seen, while her father with the governor's staff attended Miss Lallande, she maintained the State's dignity by a hearty toast at the very hour of the christening entertaining her friends and comrades, who represented no less than fourteen states and a half dozen nations. So that in a small way, the launching of the Louisiana was au international occurrence.

SATURDAY NIGHT AND TWO HORSES WERE VERY SERIOUSLY INJURED CAME INTO COLLISION One a Rig Belonging to Mr. L. N. Cox and the Other to a Country Boy. Last Saturday night three rigs came jinto collision near the greenhouses of Mr. E. O. Hill in East Main street. A smashup ensued in which two horses were badly injured and two rigs rendered almost worthless. Two young men named Noggle and Wilcoxen hired a horse and surrey from the Cox livery barn and a young fellow named Hostetter hired a l'ig from the same stable. The two rigs were going east on Main street and when they got near Hill's greenhouses hey met a rig occupied by a young man from the country coming to the city. At this juncture the hind rig tried to pass the front rig and in the act of doing so ran into the surrey of the young countryman. The result pi-ov-ed very disastrous. The horse hitched to the Cox conveyance was struck on the neck by the shaft of the surrey coming -west, injuring the horse very badly. The shaft of Cox's rig struck the country horse in the neck inflicting a painful wound. The horses are both very seriously injured. The two rigs, one of Cox's and the one belonging to the country boy were badly dmaged. The third rig did not get into the mixup. Fortunately none of the occupants Ipf the rigs were injured outside of a few bruises.

Active Along the I. & E. Railroad. A recent investigation by an official of the Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Company disclosed the fact that building operations along its route are unusualty active this summer, and officials of the line feel that the growth in population indicated by this fact is at least partially due to the better transportation facilities afforded by their line. From Dublin and including the town Avest of Greenfield, there are seventy-four new houses, either now completed or in course of construction, while from Greenfield west to Irvington there are twenty-four more, a total of ninetysix new houses for the summer.

FAIRIELA1 TO BE BIG SUCCESS

ONE THOUSAND TICKETS ALREADY SOLD A NEW FEATURE Will be Added, "The Red Bat" Decorations to Begin on Tomorrow Morning. "Fairieland" will be a go rat success. This can now bo said without iMiy hesitation, as everything is fur grand fete that was expected by the most sanguine of the directors. Five hundred tickets were ordered, first. When the committee of directors decided to hold the fete for the benefit of the Home of the Friendless the tickets went like hot cakes, au .1 ! were soon all sold out. Five hundred more tickets were ordered today, nd if the second lot goes as rapidly r. the first, and all indications are that they will go even faster, a third lot of five hundred will be ordered. The great success attending the sale of tickets has caused the spirits of the directors to rise rapidly and pleased aw the with the success of the ticket sale, and with the favor of the public, that another entertainment will be given besides those already mentioned before. The "Red B:u' will be exhibited for the first time in Indiana. The "Bat" will remain a secret until the eventful night. The fast sale of tickets is a forerunner of what the fete will be. Thvs "Fairieland'Vill be the largest thing of its kind ever seen in this country, and more people will be present than at any other affair of the kind ever held. Everything points to a great success. The work on decorating the grounds will be begun tomorrow and a six foot j stnp Ca I around the g of canvas will be raised all grounds. The yard will be a fine scene, with Japanese lanterns, electric lights, and lighted flambeaux everywhere, and the decorations will be verv handsome.
