FIRE CH1EF MILLER Doesn't Take Much Stock in Fire Prevention Day.

Aside from reminding a few persons of the danger of lighting rubbish accumulated on the premises, fire prevention day does little good, said Chief Miller of the fire department today. "A large percent of the fires are caused by careless children, who hang around alleys so . their parents will not see them smoke. They are not careful where they throw their matches. There is always more or less rubbish laying around alleys and this will ignite and many times start a big fire. It dies very little good to warn

the children in the schools about this,

because those who smoke will not pay

attention to it and those who do not use the weed, do not need the warning."

HAZEL CLAWSON SUES FOR DIVORCE

CHICAGO, Oct. 9 Shooting his way into a house, George Carter, alias Chicak Cavanaugh, a negro, formerly of Indianapolis, seriously wounded Mr. and Mrs. George Woods, terrorized half a dozen other occupants of the house and escaped after compelling his former sweethenrt. Lulu Phillips, to accompany him. The Phillii-s woman came from Indianapoliii with Charles Williams, who was in the house when Carter entered? Williams concealed himself in a clothes closet while Carter ran away with the woman.

Clawson states that she and her husband lived together from October I, of this year to the time of filing the divorce complaint. She charges that her husband, Leslie D. Clawson has been guilty of cruel and inhuman treatment, that he struck her with his clenched , fist, cursed and called her vile names. They were married in Kentucky. The plaintiff also asks alimony in the amount of $500, saying that her husband draws from $15 to $20 per week. In addition to this the plaintiff asks that her maiden name, Hazel Harvey, be restored.

POSSE OF FARMERS SURROUND BANDITS Two Men Run to Earth After

a Daring Oklahoma Train j Robbery, Tuesday. j (National News Association) FORT SMITH, Ark., Oct. 9. Armed with rifles and shotguns, Sheriffs' posses have surrounded a cornfield near Wister, Okla., where it is believed two youths who held up the Rock Island passenger train No. 4 last night, are in hiding. The robbers rifled both mail and express cars and secured quanti

ties of registered letters, express packages and money consignments. The amount of their thefts could not be determined by the authorities. Although evidently amateurs at train robbing, the bandits were not lacking in daring and a revolver battle is expected with them by the posses. The bandits entered the cab of Engineer Buchanan and compelled him to stop the train at a point where the dense woods line the track on either side. They later entered the mail car compelling the enginemen to walk ahead and shield them, and then overcame the mail clerks and baggagemen. They forced the trainmen to cut the express and mail cars from the rest of the train and run into Wister. Seven explosions were necessary to blow open the express car safe. A flagman escaped and ran to Howe, where the alarm was given. Two posses were organized and chased the robbers to the cornfield.

SALUTE BV CANNON GREETS ROOSEVELT On Entering Michigan Copper Country Wilson at Springfield, 111. (National News Association)

SAULTE STE MARIE, Jet., Oct. 9. The blare of a discordant brass band awoke Col. Roosevelt on his entry into the northern peninsula at Cheboygan today. The band got under the window of the compartment where the Colonel slept. Mingled with the racket of the serenades was the booming of a cannon, which was shot off near the ex-president's stateroom. The presidential salute was fired half a dozen times before the villagers let up. Roosevelt strode to the rear plat

form of his car, clad in pajamas and his overcoat and shook hands with several hundred of Cheboygan's early risers. "I hope you make that much noise on election day," he observed with a laugh. At Mackinaw City a cluster of girls from an academy shrieked in high pitched voices for the Colonel. He appeared on the car platform and waved a kiss to them. He talked to the Mackinaw City throng for ten minutes and then went on to St. Ignace, where another big crowd awaited him.

"I want you to take back those statements you made that the streets of Richmond are cleaner than those of any city in this state," said an irate citizen blinded by the dust and dirt of Main street today, as he grabbed Baltz Bescher, city clerk, by the shoulder. In his defense the city clerk could only state that he was quoting a road inspector from Terre Haute when he made the statements before the city council Monday night. The citizen then said that the. inspector probably had never been out of Terre Haute.
