NOT CAPTURED S BYHVILLA RAID
ft:
;
Reports of , General Villa's recent raid upon Madera, Mexico, were received with much interest bjrf many Richmond people and members of the families , of several Richmond young men' i whti were formerly employed '" at Madera were congratulating themselves Jhat these young men were not located in Madera when Villa's outlaws swarmed into the town. It is announced that thirty Americans, all employes' of the Madera Lumber company, of which ' Harry I. Miller, son of Colonel J. P. Miller, of thia city, is president and J: - C. Crockett, a former Richmond man, is vice president, were taken as hostages by General -Villa and sent to the penitentiary at Chihuahua, to be held .for a huge ransom, demanded of the lumber company. This report has been confirmed by Mr. Crockett, press dispatches state. Mr. Crockett is in El Paso. .Over a. year ago Dr. Commons and
his brother, Charles Commons, who were employes of the Madera com
pany, left Mexico because of the dls
tufbed conditions there, and had a th rilling experience in reaching the
Texas border.
A few months ago Warren Grubbs,
another Richmond young man, and grandson of Colonel Miller, left Ma
dera, being transferred to a lumber camD in North Carolina. So far as
known no Richmond men were includ
ed among the captives Villa has sent to Chihuahua, City. Villa has vowed
revenge against all Americans be
cause this government recognized the
Carranza government instead of his own. ,

SPORTS OF ALL SORTS
BY THE OLD SPORT
'The ' boxing gaofe received a ' black
eye last Friday night when Ray Jeffries quit in the fifth round of his
scheduled ten round bout with Terry Nelson of Philadelphia, from which it will take it some time to recover.
JeffrieB claims that the foul blow he
received in the first round knocked the courage out of him and that after the blow landed . he knew he was all in.
Whether he was or not "Jeff" should have continued the fight and taken what punishment was coming to him instead of laying down cold.
STIGALL ANXIOUS FOR BOUT. "Lil" Arthur Stigall has, written a letter expressing his willingness to meet Terry Nelson here on New Year's day and the match will probably be arranged. Stigall and Nelson should put up a fast go and one that should please the fans. While Nelson is a bear when Its comes to infighting Arthur -will more than meet him halfway and it will be some little scrap. Both are strong and rugged boys who can stand a lot of punishment and both will fight until put down for the count. With Stigall and Nelson for the wind-up and Frankie Mason and some fast boy for a semi wind-up some good boxing will be seen.
BASKETBALL DOPE. Richmond basketball fans can boast as much as they please about the game that is being played by the local high school boys for they are offering a superior quality of ball and are going better all the time. It will take a mighty fast team to beat them this year and it looks as though they were all set for championship honors. They have won all the games played so far this year with ease and they have not yet played in danger. The spirit and dash shown in the game here with New Castle and the work they showed at Hagerstown last week places them in the front ranks.
CLASS GAMES AT E. C. Basketball will begin at Earlham college shortly after the Christmas holidays and Coach Whitesides will have a strong five on the floor. He has between thirty and forty candidates to choose from and they are showing up in good form. Class games
will start right after Christmas but
the regular varsity season will not
cpen here until Jan. 14, when the State
Normal will meet the Quakers.
YOUNGSTERS INTERESTED. Richmond has about - thirty school basketball teams counting the intergroup league and class teams at the high school and the Automobile league at Garfield. This will give Coach Nobr a wealth of material to choose from In coming years for the boys all take a deep Interest in the games and play like trojans, ;
INDOOR BASEBALL. Indoor baseball fans are talking of starting a league here to play at the Coliseum but nothing definite has been done in the matter as yet. Fans are anxious to see the league started for the sport is a popular one and if a strong league is formed the organization should prove to be a paying investment. SKATING IS POPULAR. Skating is just as popular as ever in Richmond and there is always a good sized crowd on the floor of the Coliseum from earjy morning until closing time. As soon as Hawkins' pond freezes over ice skating will draw the crowd and every accommodation for the comfort of the skaters will be provided. An attempt will be , made to form an ice hockey to play at the pond at least two nights a week providing sufficient light is furnished to make the sport safe.
MISS WHITE PRINTS "IN THE ORCHESTRA" SONNET COLLECTION
STARRS MAY JOIN
President George Brshm of the S. A. L. said this morning that Harry Gennett of the Starr Piano company informed him the factory would be represented in the league next year, if a franchise could be secured. The committee appointed by the president at the last meeting of the league has reported favorably jon the acceptance of this term and also on the application of the P. R. R., and they will be admitted to the league at the next meeting.
MARTINSVILLE U8ES RICHMOND MODEL
Inquiries have been received by officials of the Social Servite bureau
for information concerning the organi
zation for the purpose of modeling an organization at Martinsville, Ind., after the Wayne countr plan. John Northway, secretary-manager ; of the Chamber of Commerce, has written for the information.
"In the Orchestra. a collection of sonnets by Miss Esther Griffin White, has been put out in book form by the author. The cover design and decorative illustrations are by Miss Florence Fox. :. : v: .? ; . The poems originally appeared in The Palladium where they gave, pleas
ure to many readers. Miss White takes up the various instruments and in poetic language gives voice to t'te place and instrumental worth of each" in the orchestra. Her conception shows intimate acquaintance with the instruments individually, and with their place in the - orchestra as a whole.
A music lover, will find genuine pleasure in perusing the poems, while a reader of poetry will be struck by the treatment accorded the topics. The bok makes an acceptable Christmas gift.
POOR GOAL HITTING MARKS FOUR GAf'ES
Four games were nlaved in the Gar
field school league last night Of the
forty boys who participated only four were able to heave the ball In the net despite the many chances they had. Wabash beat Purdue 3-1 simply on account of the poor goal shooting. Cornell won from Tale 2-0 on the same account and Princeton lost 4-1 to Purdue for the same reason. Indiana made five foul goals and which was sufficient to cop the game, for Butler could not find the basket. All the boys need a lot of practice in goal shooting and as soon as tbey get it the games will prove more in-
THIRD EXPRESS FIRM MAY START OFFICE
Crowded out of the city several years ago by the inability to get direct railroad connectionns, the WellsFargo Express company is making plans to locate a branch office here, using overland trucks to transfer goods from Richmond to the nearest railroad connections. A plan is on foot
to run a truck from Richmond to Dayton and return for the exclusive purpose of transferring express. Representatives of the 'company have been here the last few days investigating local conditions. Another plan that is being considered is to run a special trufek to Liberty, but it is believed that the connections at Dayton will afford a quicker dispatch of express. Other express companies hold contracts with all the railroads leading into Richmond, as well as with the traction lines.

STATE OFFICERS
Continued From Page One. laws conflict regarding the dispensing of habit-forming drugs to patients in the physician's office. Inspector Long said. The national , law permits this practice while the state law forbids It.
It was in this respect that a number
of doctors were unconsciously violat
ing the law. The druggists who were
discovered to be 'violating the law
which compels them to keep a register
ed pharmacist In the store and also failure to label poisons will not be
prosecuted unless they give no heed to the warning of th inspectors. The number of morphine fiends in Richmond is larger than would be expected. Inspector Long said, though the city is "cleaner" in this respect than the majority, in Indiana. Both men and women are included in the list of these who have been securing the drugs from the physicians.
