A HEAVY SHOW III Four Inches Record for the Day at South Bend Where Trees Were Broken. IT FELL ALL FORENOON HEAVIEST FALL KNOWN TO PRESENT RESIDENTS IN THE STATE DURING THIS MONTH SINCE 1842. South Bend, Ind., Oct. 10, (Spl.) the first snow of the season today proved a veritable winter storm. With four inches of snow on the ground, there was little prospects of a letup. Limbs of trees are being broken as a result of the weight. At Notre Dame, the seat of the great Catholic University, all oxfords and a few remaining straw hats were called in this morning, not by the fire bell, as usual, but by two inches of heavy snow. Snow fell all forenoon and the snowball regulations were read to the students. Men who have been at Notre Dame thirty year say they never saw such a phenomenon. Storm is General. The snow fall was heavy and general all over Northern Indiana, at some places reaching almost the proportions of a blizzard. It is reported from Michigan City that two and a' half inches of snow fell last night and this morning. It ' caught farmers napping. Apples are on the trees and corn Is unhusked. James L. Monahan, pioneer resident of Michigan City, said he had never known such a heavy snow fall in Northern Indiana so early in the fall since 1842. October 15. 1842, Mr. Monahan started to walk to Springfield, O., to enter school. He found a foot or snow at Laporte and two feet at South Bend. GOLDFIELD, NEV. BURNING NEWS IS NOT DEFINITE Reports Reach Chicago Saying That the Water Works and Entire Business Block Has Already Suffered From the Flames. fPuMishprs Press! Chicago, Oct. 10. Goldfield. Nevada, is burning according to despatches received here tonight. Definite news is lacking but it is reported that the water works and an entire business block have already been destroyed and that the entire town is in danger. The town is the center of one of the richest mining fields in the world and was the scene of the recent Gans-Nelson fight. Only within a year or two have handsome buildings begun to replace the original mining shacks and many of the characteristics of the mining camp still remain. The Strickler Case. Mrs. Elizabeth Strickler of Hagerstown. has finally come into possession of -all the property willed to her by her husband, including a farm, personal property and money, by a judgment rendered by the Indiana Supreme court. Upon the death of her husband it was found that he had willed her all of his property. Mrs. Strickler's children, however, persuaded her to set the will aside and be contented with one-third, which the law allows a widow. Mrs. Strickler, not liking the course of events, carried the case into the courts and was Tuesday given the title to the property left her by the will.

Although there is much interest in bowling in many cities in close proximity of Richmond, this city has taken no interest in it, and it is very probable that the sport will not be revived here, Owing to the appearance of Ben Hur at the English Opera House in Indianapolis, the sale of interurban tickets from Richmond has increased about fifteen to twenty-five daily, over the regular number.

ESTELLA WEAVER

Ly Clothes Catch Fire While Leaning Over Gas Stove in Mrs. Brehm's Store. RAN WILDLY IN FLAMES OTHER GIRLS EMPLOYED IN THE MILLINER SHOP HAD HARD TIME CATCHING HER TO EXTINGUISH THE BLAZE. Miss Estella May Weaver, aged 16 years and living at 443 South 12th street and working at Mrs. C. A. Brehm's millinery store, 33 North 8th street was severely burned about her body as a result of her clothing catching fire yesterday morning when she leaned over a small gas stove tp warm her hands. Her face was not touched or marred by the flames. She was taken to her home in the ambulance and afterward to the Reid Memorial Hospital, where at a late hour last night she was resting as well as could be expected. Miss Weaver had been working in the front of the store with a large piece of tissue paper tied around her neck, to keep the white waist that she wore from being soiled. She complained of her hands being cold and walked to the little gas stove which sat in the corner. Leaning over the heater she exended her hands over its top. In an instant the flames leaped up, caught the tissue paper and enveloped the girl in flames. Shrieking at the top of her voice and frenzied with fright she started running. The other persons in the store started after her, having snatched rugs from the floor with the intenion of smothering thefire. For several minutes the girl raced behind counters and out of one apartment into another, without being caught. Miss Weaver at last made a dash for the front door which was closed. When she attempted to check her speed she fell, and before she could anve rugs were thrown upon her and the fire extinguished. All of her outer clothing was burned away from her body and the underclothing had stuck to the burned parts of her body, so that it had to be cut from her. " ' Both the mother of the girl and Mrs. Brehm are almost prostrated over the sad accident and the girls of the shop were hardly able to work after the severe fright received by all of them. Mrs. Brehm stated yesterday afternoon that she considered Miss Weaver one of the brightest and most artistic of her apprentices. t Dr. Bulla was the first doctor on the scene and attended to the first treatment of the burns. He afterwards resigned the .case to Dr. Mendenhall owing to the fact that the injured one Is a niece of the latter.

The services had been delayed a half hour by those in charge, when a telephone message was sent by Ayers to the home of Mrs. George Wright, a sister of the dead woman, to the effect that he was ill and could not attend.
