About yesterday aT'ternoun Harry Martin, of Chester, who carries rural route No. 8, from the local postofnee, was -arrested .at the postoffice on his return from his daily trip by Postoflice Inspector W.

ROUTER

BAD WRECK Five Cars Derailed and Two Dumped Into the River. .Portland, Ind., November 1. The Grand Rapids & Indiana Railway company sustained a costly wreck yesterday afternoon, on the Wabash river bridge, near Geneva. A southbound freight train was crossing the bridge when five cars suddenly left the rail. Three were piled on the side of the high .embankment and two were precipitated into the rive-, twenty-five feet below. None of the. crew was on that part of the train and all escaped unhurt. Seven years ago this same bridge broke down under a heavy freight tram, after the engine and' two. cars were across. The falling cars dragged the engine back with them into the river below, and the engineer and a tramp were killed, while the fireman saved himself by clinging to the telepgraph w ire. Fifty rods north, only a few days before this accident three men were , killed by the pay tra in, while t X a young woman was caught on this bridge and killed. Altogether fifteen lives have been lost between Geneva Vmd this bridge. J '

IT MAY BE REVIVED HERE Members of Association not Discouraged But Have Other Interests. Wayne comity is now" without a fair association. Worl has been .received from Ilagerstown to the effect that the Wayne County Fair Association will not give another fair. The members are not 'discouraged, but fhey have other matters demanding their attention, and unless something is done toward forming a new company to take its place, there will-1e no fairs at Ilagerstown in the future. ' ; Richmond men who have attempted to form an organization for a fair in Richmond have always been confronted with the argument that solong as there is ' one fair association in the country it would be useless to attempt to give , another one. The fact that the Ilagerstown association has decided to throw up the sponge may result in the Richmond project being revived. The Ilagerstown Exponent, in speaking of the affair, there, says: I For . the information of those who have made inquiry as to what will probably be done in the way of holding another Ilagerstown fair, we have authority to say that the present board, as a whole, have no desire to tiold, and have no intention of holding another fair. Most of them have been working in the fair business for some time, and want a. rest from further work in that line, but would like to see the fair go on. The lease on the fair grounds expires next March. Five years ago the asso ciation was $1,100 -in--debt and now.j tne ueot is less man rouv. j.ue uuiiuings are worth more than the debt, and if a new association does not take the fair and continue, the buildings will be sold to cancel the debt. HE GAVE UP Walter Simpson Decides to Evade the Law No Longer. Sheriff Richard Smith was surprised Monday night when Walter Simpson walked into the jail and gave himself up.

He immediately went to Dr. Bulla, who dressed the wound. Dr. Bulla does not anticipate anything serious in the wound as he does not believe the dog mad. However, a close watch will be kept on the actions of the animal and if it displays any signs of being mad it will be killed at once and the wound on Me vers ler will be treated with a mad stone.
