PHIL RILEY HURT OY RUNAWAY TEAM
Well Known Fireman Knocked To the Ground in Stopping Frantic Horses.
HAD A FORTUNATE ESCAPE.
THE TEAM ATTACHED TO HORNING'S MILK WAGON RAN EXCITEDLY DOWN NORTH EIGHTH STREET.
Phil Riley, the well known fireman
Pt the North Eighth street engine
house, was knocked down and badly bruised while stopping the team attached to J. L. Morning's milk wagon this morning. The team became frightened while standing in front of Green's cafe on North Eighth street, and was frantically running away when Riley stopped it. Riley is new at the hospital, but Dr. Thurston, who is. attending him. thinks that his injuries will be no more serious than external bruises. Dr. Thurston considers it remarkable that Riley should have escaped so luckily. Mr. Homing's horses, which are young and spirited, were going at a reciless pace when they approached the engine house. Ed Carter and Riley saw them and ran out into the street In an effort to head them off. Carter was on the west side of the street and Riley on the east. Carter threw up his hands and the horses
quickly jumped to the east side of the street, knocking Riley, who attempted to grab them, to the ground. He was thrown down and dragged. Some who saw the accident say he was hit by the tongue of the wagon. The horses swerving suddenly to the Fide, caused one of them to fall. The
horse was badly bruised and skinned tip, but not seriously hurt. Affidavit Against Horning. An affidavit has been sworn out against Mr. Horning, charging him with viohtins a city ordinance which forbids owners to allow their horses to Ftand unhitched on public streets. It Is said that Mr. Horning had a heavy weight in his wagon, but was not using it. He will be arraigned In court as soon as City Attorney Study tfn arrange his affairs to appear against him.

r-
The above colored people were in
jured in- a wreck on the G. R. & I. one
mile south of .Collett Station Sunday
morning. They were on their way to a lodge convention at Portland.
While rushing to the aid of the in
jured in the wreck in a touring car, Frank Kenworthy of Winchester, a cousin of Miss Sarah Moorman, clerk in the Richmond postoffice, ran into a
tree and was killed. Enos Hiatt, Harvey Diggs and W. P. Marlatt, who were also in the car, were badly bruised. Kenworthy tried to avoid running into
frightened dog and in saving the
canine's life, lost control of his machine and .dashed into a fence post and later a tree.
The wreck at first was reported to
be a very fatal, one, but it was. found
that the passengers had miraculously
escaped and Conductor James Hayes of Ft. Wayne, was the only person badly hurt.
Cause of the Wreck. The wreck, is generally believed to
"have been caused by the spreading of
the rails, although another story is to
the effect that a truck gave way be
neath the engine tender.
Just how so many passengers escap
ed with their lives is considered a
miracle. All the coaches left the
track and plunged down an embank
ment. The engine alone remained on the track. It is estimated that at least 10O-people were on the train when the accident occurred. Just before the train reached Collett Station and at about 7:0O, without a moment's warning, there was a sudden crash and before anyone realized what had happened, the coaches were piled in the ditch. The embankment was not so step as to allow the cars to overturn and to this fact is attributed the saving of many lives. Conductor James Hayes was caught between two cars and pinned beneath the wreckage. When rescued it was found that he had several ugly cuts about the head and it is feared that his skull is fractured. He was taken to a Ft. vWayne hospital. Injuries to oth
ers consisted only of slight brumes
and sprained limbs.

Samoel Arnold, proprietor of the Arnold hotel, Mrs. Merle Campbell and two other young women whose names
are unknown, had a narrow escape from death Sunday afternoon while
riding in Glen Miller park in Mr. Arnold's automobile. Mr. Arnold lost control of the car and the two women who sat in the back seat, jumped from the machine, but escaped with only a few scratches and bruises. While the big machine was climbing the steep road that leads from the "last" spring in the east end of the park toward the lake, the power gave out, and before Mr. Arnold could get
control of the machine' it began to
coast down the road at a rapid rate
On the north side of the road there is a deep ravine. The car headed for
this ravine and would have plunged
down the slope, but for a stout board fence. The machine did not stop
after sheering away from the fence, but continued on down the road. When within a few feet of the spring, the
two women in the back seat of the car jumped to the ground, alighting in a most violent manner. The car finally went over the north side of the road near the bottom of ths hill, where there is a slight slope and would have turned over, but for the work of several men who held it upright. Arnold stuck to the steering gear throughout the mad fligt of the car and Mrs. Campbell gamely kept her seat at his side. It is regarded as remarkable that the two women who jumped from the car were not killel or at least severely injured. Had the car rolled over the bank near the bottom of the hill, Mr. Arnold and Mrs. Campbell would probably have been crushed under its weight.

CELEBRATETHE FOUNDING New Paris Odd Fellows Observe 88th Birthday.
AN APPROPRIATE PROGRAM.
New Paris, O., April 29. The local
lodge of Odd Fellows celebrated the
eighty-eighth anniversary of the founding of Odd Fellowship, Friday evening.
A very appropriate and enjoyable
program was renuereu tuusiauiis ui
Washiugton, D. C, April 2'.). Speak
er Cannon is a bit angry over a story circulated in the East to the effect that
he, Representative Watson and others
are engaged in a "conspiracy" to pre
vent Oklahoma" from being admitted to
the Union prior to the next presiden
tial election. It is apparent that Oklahoma's votes in the electoral college
will be cast for the democratic candi
date for president and for this reason
the speaker is represented as being anxious to stave off the act of admis
sion until after the election of the
next president. "It is a yarn which has no basis ex
cept somebody's imagination," said the
speaker. Mr. Watson heard of the "conspira
cy" story when he was at the exposi
tion.
"I can state authoritatively that
there is not one word of truth in it,"
said he. He stated, also, that his ac tion in taking a copy of the new Okla
homa constitution to the white house so that the president might study it carefully and make up his mind wheth
er he wished to sign or to veto was not
a move to delay. He gave as his opin
ion, however, that the constitution as
aranea wouia not give Ukianoma a
republican form of . government, and that the next congress should pass an
act prescribing certain provisions that
shall be in the constitution before Ok
lahoma shall be entitled to admission. It is argued that only in this way can vagaries and radical provisions be
kept out of the constitution.
The effect of such a move would be
to reopen the statehood fight in con
gress, and incidentally it might delay
the admission of the new state until
1.X), or 1910. There is no attempt, however, to influence the president to reject the constitution, and that is a
question that he alone can decide.
YEARLY MEETING DATES
Indiana Body Will Gather Richmond on Sept. 25.
in
Last Appeal Is Made in Behalf of the CauseBig .Meeting Will Be Held at the Coliseum Tuesday Night.
The end Is In sight in reference to the Y. M. C. A. campaign in Richmond, and on Tuesday night at midnight, the work will come to an end. It is confidently believed that it will be a wi cessful end, but there is still sorus hard work necessary to make this possible. As will be seen by the- financial report printed elsewhere, a coi:. siderable sum of money Is still to be raised. With the conditional offer made by M. C. Henley, the condition of which have not been met, tha amount still needed to meet the terms of the Reid subscription is $4,orw, an'i without th Henley subscription. It would be necessary to secure $t.50. There is no special plan In mind to secure this except by the method of solicitation that has been followed up to this time. As the city has been gone over so thoroughly, even In a house 1.3 house canvass, it does not appear that the conditions are highly encouraging, but the promoters of the work ar living In hope that when the final report is made on Tuesday night, It will be of such a nature that a Y. M. C. A. may be assured.. A Last Appeal Made. A last appeal Is now being made to the people of Richmond. The gift of a few thousand dollars would make the project to which so many of the business men have given freely of their time and money, a complete success, and there are plenty of residents who are amply able to give many times more than they have done. It is a notable fact that the twelve men who compose the executive committee, ani
who are not classed as wealthy men.
have given nearly $10,0OO, or one. tenth of the total sum it was hoped to
raise. This they have done in addition
to all the time they have taken from their private affairs, exhibiting a commendable public spirit, and a desire to
safeguard the welfare of the young
men of Richmond.
Meeting Tuesday Night. It has been arranged to have a big
meeting at the coliseum on Tuesday night, to which the public, including
the ladies, is invited. At this time final reports will be made. There
will be music and addresses. In case
the report will show a sufficient
amount of money raised the affair will be turned Into a glorious celebration In honor of this happy end.
Richmond failed in an effort to get
a Y. M. C. A. seventeen years ago an 1 it cannot afford to fail now that a new generation has colie on, for it is admitted that the plan would then be dead for many years to come. Patriotic citizens, not only for the good of
the boys,' but for the general reputa
tion of the city as a progressive com
monwealth, should even at this late hour come to the rescue of the work, and make it a success. AH the condi
tional subscriptions should be clinched by a proper response and it couH be done without working a hardship on a single individual.
