Letters Sent to City Officials Regarding Wiggans Case. VINTON MAY RETURN rireman Asks Board For Position Routine Matters Are Considered. Tii Richmond Central Labor Union I entered a formal protest this morning I at the meeting of the board of works tn regard to the length of time which i the patrol driver allowed Thomas Wig- ' Tl na Til (nf titVia rt I rl . t, . 1 a. of a fall on Main street, to lie on the sidewalk btfore removing him to the hospital. , The following letter was sent to the members of the board. "At a regular meeting of the Richmond Central Labor Union resolutions were adopted -to remonstrate against the action of the patrol driver in leaving Mr. Wlggans, a painter, who was killed on Main street, to lie in the street so long a time before removing him to the hospital. Therefore, be it "Resolved, That all officers of the city of Richmond use their offices to prevent a recurrence of such a lamentable condition. Signtd: tVILLIAM FAHLSING, Pres. OTTO BEISSMAN, Vice Pres. E. T. BASS, Secretary. , Similar letters were sent to Mayor j Zimmerman and Chief of Police Gorj mon. The patrol driver at the time of the Wlggans accident, which occuri red on July 22, was Harry Otte, who j has resigned since then. Otte stated that he was under the impression that he could not remove 'an injured person to the hospital unless he had the orders from a physl'cian. As he is no longer on the force, the board could only reply that the j matter was taken up and the patroljmen and ambulance drivers were in structed to remove fo the hospital at any time any person whose residence Is not known. ' The hospital authorities stated that .it has never been a rule that persons (could not be brought to the hospital and that the matter was entirely with the patrol driver, since he was In charge of the man after his injuries. The members of the labor union stated that they believed there would have been more chance to save the life of ithe painter if he had received prompt 'medical attention. I . Charles Vinton, the fireman who was injured last February while on duty at a fire, asked the board if he could return to work again. Although he has jnot fully recovered fro mthe effects of the fall from the porch roof which resulted in injuries which may be perjmanent, he believes that he is capable of performing the duties of the position he held at No. 5 hose house in ,West Richmond. The matter was tak;en up with Chief Miller of the fire department. ! The. final assessment roll for the ImiProvement of South Sixth street, was adopted. The improvement recently completed, will cost the city $877.60, land the property owners $3,688.11. 1 Cement gutters and sidewalks were llaid from E street to A street. ! City Engineer Fred Charles entered ;a protest against the Terr Haute, In'dianapolis and Eastern Traction company for the grade of workmanship jused in placing the tracks in concrete Jat Eighth and South H streets. The street car company ordered the tracks laid in temporarily and officials stated that they were going to take them out extend the tracks within a short time. It is now rumored that they will ,not make thextension and the city f engineer wastS the tracks laid tnore : securely. ' Plans and specifications for a ceiment alley between Twenty-second j and Twenty-third streets from North iB street to North F street were ord ered. j An inspection of nine large trees in (Glen Miller park revealed that more ithan half of them are white oak. As he city purchases much of this every ear, it is probable that the trees will Hot be sold as planned, but will be cut knd stored by the city for future use. Even Lambs May Turn. It appears that the lamb can tarn as rell as the proverbial worm. At Lampeter a flock of sheep was being driven long, and the accompanying dog threw little extra ardor into the job of hurrylng the animals. In doing so be paid pecial attention to a lamb, whereupon, to the delight of the onlookers. fhe lamb turned on his assailant. The i og took to nis heels, and toe lamb rushed after him Into a shop, and no one knows what would not have occurred to the collie had not the farmer arrived and Interfered. Cardiff Western Mail.

SUES CENTERVILLE PEOPLEJOR. MONEY Widow of Late Isaac L. Houck Files Complaint Against Johnsons.

Adelaide B. Houck, administratrix of the estate of Isaac L. Houck, who committed suicide by shooting himself with a shotgun in their home in Centerville, May 2, 1913, filed suit against Sabina and Harry L. Johnson making sensational charges against the latter. Mrs. Houck demands $7,000 from Harry L. Johnson and $4,800 from Harry L. and Sabina Johnson. Mrs. Johnson is a sister of the decedent. According to the complaint for consideration of $11,000 Houck agreed to deed to Sabilia Johnson and her husband his farm of 165 acres located near Centerville. The sum of $5,000 was paid at the time the transaction was made in January 1911. The remaining $6,000 was never paid according to the complainant. The sum due on the property the defendants refuse to pay to the administratrix, she alleges. Considerable personal property in trust at the First National bank of Milton was taken from the institution unlawfully by Harry L. Johnson, according to the complaint. The actual is said to have taken place shortly af ter Houck was buried. In the personal property was contained stock of various kinds together with certain mortgages owned by the decedent. The money realized through the sale of the stock and fixtures of the drug store operated by Houck at Centerville was also taken by Johnson, Mrs. Houck alleges. She states that the money was appropriated illegally and converted by the defendant for his own use. The value of the personal property was approximately $4,800. JEWELRY STORE IS ROBBED AT NIGHT (National News Association) NEWPORT, R, I., Aug. 18. Burglars literally cleaned Herriman's Jewelry store here during the night. The loss is between $7,000 and $10,000. The robbers escaped in an automobile. RAM BUNGS OF A CHECK. Something on the Stylo of tho Hoik That Jack Built. A man down south made a bet with his wife which was Indiscreet. The wife won which was foreordained. The man wrote the wife a check for $5 in payment of the bet which was sad. The wife cashed the check at the grocery, but forgot to Indorse It which was natural. The grocer, despite the lack of endorsement, paid it to a packing house collector which was careless. The packing house collector turned it In which was all in a day's work. The packing house office man discovered the lack of indorsement which was good work. He handed it back to the driver and docked the driver's salary which was system. The driver placed the check In his white duck coat and sent It to the laundry which was unwise. The laundry mutilated the check beyond recognition which was to be expected. Which is why the driver asked the cashier to ask the grocer to ask the man's wife to ask her husband to write a duplicate check. Which is why the man feels like he is paying that bet twice. Kansas City Star. NAMES FOR THE KNIVES. The Small Boy Had Them All Down Pat For the Preacher. The small boy of today Is often credited with a predilection for saying the wrong thing In the presence of an honored guest. The following true Incident shows that he also had to be reckoned with more than seventy years ago. In the pioneer days of Michigan Deacon Brewster was noted for his large family and his hospitality.. One day Elder Allen, the circuit rider, young, good looking and. moreover, a bachelor, arrived at the deacon's In time for dinner. Presently a bounteous meal appeared upon a board rather scantily furnished, it must be owned, with certain necessaries In the way of tableware. After all were seated and the elder had asked the blessing Miss Betsy, the eldest daughter, thinking to apologize, blushingly began: "I'm sorry 1 couldn't find a better knife for you. Mr. Allen. Tbe children carry them out to dig with, you see. and forget to bring them back." "Why-y, sister." piped Johnny's shrill voice, "they're all here! The elder's got No Handle, dad hez Butcher and mammy Stub! He'll jest have to take turns eating with the rest of us." Woman's Home Companion. Toward the Pole. Ice eight feet thick on tbe ocean and mow falling even in summer such is the weather experienced in the polar regions. When the air is dry and still it is remarkable how low a temperature can be borne with ease. One explorer tells us that with the therometer at 9 degrees it was too warm for skating. The summer weather In this region is. moreover, in some respects pleasant and healthful. Within the arctic zone there are wonderfully colorded sunrises and sunsets to be seen. They are both brilliant and impressive. But the nights the nights are monotonous and repelling. A rigid world buried in everlasting show, silent save for the cracking of the ice or the wail of the wind. Travelers in these regions experience many discomforts.

Proved Himself Competent An English nobleman engaged a tall and powerful hlghlnnder to act as gamekeeper on bis estate. Having been a considerable time at his post and not having caught any poachers, the nobleman suspected his gamekeeper of carelessness. So one dark night he disguised himself and went out with a gun to poach on bis own gronnds. He had fired only one or two shots when he was suddenly pounced upon from behind and his gun wrenched away. Then kicks and blows were showered opon him until be fell down half insensible. Tbe highlander then walked away quietly, and when the nobleman recovered sufficiently he crawled home and took to his bed for two weeks. He has now no doubts whether tbe man can perform his duty or not Had a Way of Hie Own. "Well, Harry," asked the visitor playfully, "what are you doing for a living now?"

JUDGE EXPRESSES OPINION ON CASE It is propable that the jury which found Owen Terry guilty of being an accessor- in the murder of Marshal Richardson of Cottage Grove established a precedent in the Wayne circuit court. According to Judge Fox the verdict of guilty which was reached after twenty-three hours of deliberation and balloting, after twelve men on several ballots, stood six for acquit-f-1 and six for conviction, is very unusual. ' Had I been one of the six men who thought he was innocent I would ha,ve been there yet rather than change my decision." said the Judge. Terry is hopeful of obtaining a new trial. He will be granted one after an application is made by his attorney, Walter Bossert, who will appear before the court Wednesday morning. How Zulu Servants Are Fed. Zulu servants live in a detached house in the yard, and each receives tbe following rations: A half loaf of bread per day. one can condensed milk per week, one-quarter pound of tea per week, two pounds of sugar per week, two pounds of corn meal per week, fresh meat once a week. This meat consists of a shilling's worth of "boy's meat" probably a ponnd and a half of beef, which is boiled with vegetables, usually carrots, which the Zulus love. The black servants are known as j "boys," and the butchers sell a special kind of meat for them, which is called "boy's meat" E. W. Howe's Monthly. Home Manners.
