FESTIVAL FEATURETHE BUMBAUGH AIRSHIP

No doubt the greatest attraction of the Richmond Fall Festival, Wednesday, Thursday - and Friday, of next week, will be the Bumbaugh airship. The above cut is an excellent likeness of the air cruiser of the noted Indiana aviator. Mr. Bumbangh, during the Fall Festival, will make two aerial trips dally. The field selected from where the big craft will start daily, is at South H and Eighth streets. It is an excellent site for such purposes. A MEDICAL SERVICE Fall Festival . Management Provides to Care for Injured. OFFER GOOD HOSPITALITY Dr.f S. C. Markley, one of the members : of the hospitality, committee of the Fall Festival association Is organ-"' lzing a boys brigade to do guard duty during the festival. It will be the duty of the boys to keep watch for accidents and in case of any, to report to the festival headquarters, Tenth and Main street, where a physician and ambulance will be stationed. Free medical and ambulance service will be given to any one who is injured during the festival. No accidents are expected as the nature of the exhibitions is such that there is no danger about them. However, such things as a woman fainting, or a run away, often occur at the least expected moment, and it is to guard against this that the festival association has deemed it necessary to provide free medical service. The hospitality committee, of which Fred H. Lemon is chairman, will provide for the convenience of the visitors in every possible way. There will be several places in the city where rest Booms will be provided and to which the public is invited. A large number of merchants will make such provisions, Including toilet and the like. PEEVED THE ROBBER Victims in Saloon Were Too Slow, So He Shot Them Up Neatly. THREE CRIMES FOR $47. (American News Service) Philadelphia, Sept, 28. One masked desperado entered a saloon at the corner of York Road and Lycoming street after midnight and shot and killed James Qulnn, twenty-three years old, son of the owner, and seriously wounded John Caasidy and Henry Saylors, customers at the bar, and robbed their prostrate bodies of forty-seven dollars. He then discarded his mask and sauntered out and escaped. He is now being searched for. The robber had held up the three young men in ' the saloon, but became dissatisfied because of the slowness with which they were complying with his demands to hand over their money. Three shots expedited matters. . EVERETT IS HOME. Mr. Everett H. Thompson has returned home after an extensive trip through British Columbia and the Pacific coast.

RICHMOND. IND.t TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTE3IBER 28, 1909.

Of course the Bumbaugh airship is not half as large as the giant German war balloon, the Zeppelin, but it ii closely modeled after the German cratt and is capable of great speed. No wind that blows, except a veritable cyclone, can prevent the Bumbaugh from navigating the air currents and tha Bumbaugh does not have to run before the wind, as do the gas Dags, for the reason that it is propelled by a big motor and steered by immense rudder3.

It is believed that of the number Injured several will die. Almost immediately after the wreck Coroner Hoffman, through his aides, began a thorough and sweeping investigation into the circumstances of the wreck, with a view of placing responsibility for the toll to death. Police of surrounding stations who lent aid to the injured and removed the dead from the heaps of debris under which they were buried, plunged into a widespread investigation In connection with the coroner. Relatives and friends of the dead and injured were notified by the police of the disaster. Making an Investigation. Railroad officials, feeling the responsibility for the accident which occurred in their precincts, worked energetically clearing up the matter. Track elevation work is in progress at the point where the wreck occurred, the Manhandle and Chicago terminal tracks being raised to pass over the tracks of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy.

The entire world Is now absorbed In the study of aerial navigation, consaquently this new model of air craft will attract great attention from the thousands of people in eastern Indiana and western Ohio who will flock to Richmond, the great majority of whom have never seen a dirigible balloon. .

YOUR RICHMOND.

There are some people who will tell you that the city of Richmond begins at Eighth and Main and leaves off at the corporation lines. If that were so we would be very little concerned about the city of Richmond. It would be a desert island and would die in the course of the next six .months among the moans and groans of its knockers. But Richmond doe3 not begin at Eighth and Main and It does not end at tbe corporation line. It is not a desert island, and it will not die even amid the groans and moans of its 'knockers they are reforming or else dying off. In reality Richmond extends over a great portion of Eastern Indiana. The connection is so delicately balanced that if the crops are bad in Richmond country: if there is a bad year, if the hogs get the cholera. If there is a long drought and the corn is fired before the ears are filled out, or if the rain comes inopportunely and the wheat sprouts in the shocks if any, or all these things happen, It Is your Richmond that suffers. Moreover, If the Richmond inside the corporation Is hurt by the depression of outside financial trouble; if the shops are shut down; If the. merchants are overloaded with stock that works a hardship on the whole territory surrounding Richmond. ' If you doubt this, it Is because owing to the solid foundation of afv fairs in your city of Richmond the depression has not cut much figure up to this time. In other words the problem is how to keep this delicate balance in good working order. For Richmond has withstood the depressions of the ontside world in such remarkable shape that the town has really a right to the name of the Panic Proof City. And this means that all this part of the country must be built on a solid basis.Nothing s solid unless it hangs together unless there Is a bond of Interest between the parts which make the whole. And it is the purpose of the Fall Festival to bring all the parts of Richmond Into a full understanding and thorough sympathy. So it is that on the days of the Fall Festival. October 6, 7, 8 that portion of Richmond which Is within the city limits H issuing an invitation to all her feilow citizens and friends who are interested enough to know their own town. We want to see your horses and your hogs and corn, we want above all to see yon and your families. We have not made any charge for entries, and there is sincerity in the phrase 'Every Feature Free. That is because it is Tour Richmond and we, here within the corporate limits, want you to know it and to know us. Just as we all want to know you. This Is the beginning of getting together. This is the real boosting spirit. That is the only aort of boosting that we believe in. It is Tour Richmond always if yon don't already know it come to the Fall Festival and bring your things on October 6, 7, 8. If you do know it we know you were here last year and will be here again. W are all slad to see you because it really is Tour Richmond.

V Finally Breaks Down. It was only aftor the stiftest kind of dose of the "third degree" had been administered to Townsend taring the greater portion of the night and early again this morning, that the young man finally lost' his nerve, broke down and confessed to Patrolman Qenry Vogelsong that he was the guilty party. He made a clean breast ha ; wa told : w W safe byiEarl in atlrcsf rinm ber of Us gang, who Is employed as' delivery .hoy for the Commons company, and who knew where the secret paper was located.
