LITTLE ROSIE BARTON TRIES

TO STEAL A RIDE WITH FATAL RESULT. WILL BOND DRIVER OF WAGON "Who Was Warned of What Happened by Feeling Wheels Pass Over Child's Body. (Palladium Special.) Greensfork, Ind., February 1. The life of little Rosie Barton, the nine year old daughter of Will Barton and wife, was almost instantly crushed out this afternoon by a heavy farm wagon driven by Will Bond, of near Webster. The accident occurred on the road just east of Greensfork when the little Barton girl was returning home from school, "about 3 o'clock. Will Ron a farmer, had brought a wagon load of corn overto Greensfork and was hauling some lumber back to ms farm. When he was driving east on the road from Greensfork he suddenly noticed the wagon jolt and looking behind, found that one of the rear wheels had passed over the body of a girl, crushing her chest. It is supposed that she was trying to climb up on the wagon by means of the brake on the wheel and that she had fallen down underneath. The accident occurred at a place on the road less than three hundred yards from her home. Bond immediately jumped out and ran back to where the little girl Avas lying in the road, and assisted by Ed Dean, hurried with her to the office of a doctor, but before it could be reached death had relieved her of her sufferings. ' The little girl had been often warned about climbing on wagons and riding home from school, as several of the children had been accustomed to doing. No one was watching her at the time, all her school mates having gone in the other direction. No blame is attached to Mr. Bond as he did not see her when 6he attempted to get on the wagon. The little girl was popular among her school friends and was known by everyone in Greensfork. THEIR CHANCE GONE TWO GROUND HOGS FELL TO 'DAGO' ' WORKMEN.

J. Edgar Iliff and Mary MeGuire Were Wedded Last Night

At New Home. J Edgar Iliff and Mary MeGuire were married last evening at their home-to-be, 10y2 North Sixth street, by 'Squire Abbott. There were a number of intimate friends present at the wedding and an elegant supper was served immediately after the ceremony. With this wedding Judge Abbott establishes a record of untying and tying marriage knots which is seldom equaled. Over llnee years ago Judge Abbott was one of the attorneys in the divorce suit of J. Edgar Iliff vs. his wife. This knot was untied after various legal proceedings with the Judge al ways in evidence. About a month ago Judge Abbott was an attorney in the divorce suit of Jesse MeGuire vs Mrs. MeGuire. These ties were also broken, leaving two of the parties who had previously been hitched to unsatisfactory life-partners, outside the pale of married life. It seems that the Judge was not out of favor and appreciating his part in untying the knots which had been bothersome in the past he was called upon last night to untie two of the divorcees whom he had assist ed to part. YOUNG HARRY IS A BAD, BAD BOY MR. AND MRS. HICKMAN CANNOT CONTROL THEIR UNRULY YOUNGSTER. APPLY TO ATTORNEY JESSUP And' Ask That He Be Placed in White's Institute or a Similar Institute. V Prosecuting Attorney Wilfred Jessup yesterday filed a petition in circuit court on behalf of the Board of Childrens Guardians of Wayne County to have Harry Hickman, aged nine years, taken away from his parents and placed in White's Institute or some other similar institution. Harry Hickman is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Hickman of Cambridge City. This petition asks for the child's removal from his home on the following reasons. That he is a hibitual truant and was recently expelled from school by the Cambridge City school board for the reason that his conduct was such that the best interests of the school demanded that he should not be permitted to remain any longer. It is also alleged that the child has practically been abandoned and habits the streets and alleys of the town without restraint and has rapidly formed vicious and immoral habits and associates. The parents admit their lack of control over the boy and are willing to have him sent to some institution. WEATHER INDICATIONS. Temperature. February 1, 1905.

RICHMOND PICTURE SHOW WILL BEGIN ON JUNE 12 OR 13.

MRS. JOHNSTON TO CHICAGO In Order to Arrange for PicturesWill Also Go East After Rare Canvases. The Richmond Art exhibit will be thrown open to the public either June 12 or 13, in the Garfield school and continue till July 1. The exhibit last June was so large that nearly all of the rooms in the building were well filled but this June an effort will be made to use all the space available. A higher standard of paintings will also be exhibited. Mrs. M. F. Johnston, president of the Association, left today for Chicago where she will visit the studies of the leading artists in that city and will arrange to have a large number of their canvases hung at the local exhibit. Mrs. Johnson will probably return

A GERMAN CASQUE OVER PARIS.

(A drawing that has had wide circulation and much apprehensive comment In France.)

from Chicago Saturday and some time in the near future she will leave for New York, Philadelphia and Boston to meet the leading artists of those cities. They have always contributed canvases to the Richmond exhibit in the past and Mrs. Johnston will endeavor to have them send some of their best paintings again this year. While east Mrs. Johnston will arrange for an exhibit of some of the best foreign artists. It has been suggested to the offi cials of the Richmond Art Association that the exhibit this year be held in September in conjunction with the Richmond Centennial exhibit. This is regarded as impractical as nearly all of the studies of the leading artists in the country are closed during the months of July and Au gust and it would be nearly impossible to secure pictures for the exhibit. QUESTION OF SCHEDULE. The question of service between Richmond and New Paris is still bothering the officials of the Dayton and Western. The present schedule is unsatisfactory and work on a new one is now under way. COMMITTEE TO MEET. The Committees which have been appointed to arrange for the Horticultural dinner will meet at the Court House on Saturday afternoon at two o'clock to make final preparations for the dinner.

POLICE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND YOUNG QUIGG'S ASSAILANT.

HIBBERD SCHOOL CHILDREN Where Youngster Attends School are Badly Frightened Over AffairFather is Indignant. The search for the assailant of nine year old Ernest Quigg is still continued by the police but up to the present time without success. The opinion prevails now that the man has left the city and it is probable that the police will send his description to authorities in neighboring towns and cities. W. H. Quigg, father of Ernest Quigg, was at police headquarters yesterday morning and he expressed a belief that the man his son saw on South A street Tuesday afternoon ws not the lad's assailant as he thought the man would not dare to show himself in the neighborhod in which the assault took place. Mr. Quigg has urged the police to do everything in their power to apprehend the culprit. At the Hibberd school, South Eighth Street, and the Vaile school, South Fourteenth street, the principal topic of conversation among the school children is the assault made on Ernest Quigg and many of the children are badly frightened. They have been cautioned by their teachers to be extremely careful and not to wander about the streets alone at nights. . ASKS $7,500 DAMAGES FROM THE .. FIRM OF LOUCK AND HILL. Marion McLaughlin Claims That He Was Seriously Hurt By Their Negligence. Yesterday in the circuit court Attorneys Shiyeley & Shiveley filed suit for Marion McLaughlin against the firm of Louck & Hill, asking $7,500 for injuries received. McLaughlin alleges that while working as a sub-contractor on the Reid Memorial church he hired a hoist from Louck & Hill at $2 a day and that they repaired a defective cable which broke with him on December 21, 1904 permanently injuring his feet and ankles. McLaughlin resides at 638 South Sixth street.

Were But Twenty Deaths During Month A Decrease Over Last Year. According to the report of Dr. T. Henry Davis, City Health Officer, which will be made today, there were twenty deaths during the month of

January, an unusually small number for this month. The general health of the city is reported to be excellent and it is evident that the warm weather has life giving powers which have not been appreciated. It is expected that the number of deaths from pneumonia, a disease particularly prevalent during January, will be shown to be much smaller than usual. Several of the deaths were caused by this disease, but senility was one of the chief - causes. There was one suicide during the month. At the rate of 20 deaths to the month, the death rate of the city becomes 12 to the thousand inhabitants, for the year. The average is 13 showing that there is a considerable "decrease.

ASKS THAT MONEY BE GIVEN BACK JOHN COOK REFUSES TO ACCEPT FUND RAISED FOR HIM. $400 HAD BEEN SECURED By Alonzo Davenport and Sylvester Cook to Help Rebuild His Ruined Home. A few days after the terrible explosion of gas at the home of John Cook, northeast of this city, which resulted in the death of Mrs. John Cook and the total destruction of the home, Sylvester Cook of Middleboro, a cousin of John Cook, and Alonzo Davenport, who resides south of this city, began to make up a purse among John Cook's many friends in this city and Wayne County to present to the unfortunate man as a testimonial of their smypathy and good will. Nearly everyone who was solicited made a contribution to the fund and within one week's time nearly $400 had been raised and there were indications that the fund Vould grow still larger. A few days ago Sylvester Cook and Alonzo Davenport informed John Cook that they were raising a fund among his friends for a benefit and much to their surprise Mr. Cook flatly refused to take the money. "I keenly appreciate the kindness of my friends but I cannot take the gift," Said Mr. Cook "I do not need anyone's assistance in rebuilding my home, I still have some money, and money can never repay me for the loss of my wife." " v The two men who have been instrumental in raising the fund have reluctantly complied with Mr. Cook's wishes and the money is now being returned to all those who contributed. WEEKLY PRIZE.

ALL STUDENTS RETURN TO SCHOOL EXCEPT MILLS AND PARKER.

PLEDGE THAT WAS SIGNED President Kelly Announces That the Lid" Will be Kept on More Tightly Than Ever. School was resumed at Earlham yesterday with all the students in the college dormitory with the exception of N. K. Mills and Lowell Parker, The twenty students who were given the right to return to the dormitory on the condition that they would sign Governor Hadley's pledge have affixed their signatures to the document and say they, will keep it. The pledge reads: r I regard my part taken in the affair Friday night as detrimental to the college, and I believe that I did wrong, and hereafter I agree to abide by the rules of the college in every way; to observe study hours and furthermore I agree to aid in upholding the authorities of , the college, and agree to take no part in any organization which tends to defy the au thorities. Feeling is still intense against Governor Hadley and the faculty for upholding him. A large number of the students will go to the oratorical contest at Indianapolis today but many say they will not yell for Earlham. , Although President Kelly will not allow N. K. Mills and Lowell Parker to return to the dormitory it wa3 largely through the efforts of these students that order was restored at students who were holding out against the authorities on their account, to return to 6chool. Many of the leading students at the school said yesterday that had it not been that Parker and Mills urged them so strongly they would never have returned to the college. . .... Many familiar with the situation at Earlham say that the recent trouble sounds the death knell of the college dormitory. They say that at the beginning of next year the majority of the upper classmen will form clubs and room outside the school. President Kelly yesterday announced that a closer rein would be kept on the students hereafter than ever before. He said that as insubordination and riot had grown out of pranks heretofore tolerated that the board of trustees would consider at its next meeting the question of barring such. He said that efforts of the students to remove Governor Hadley would prove fruitless aa he was regarded as one of the best disciplinarians ever at the school.
