Entrance was effected into the Three I depot through the bay window, the robbers breaking ont a pane of glass in order to get in. 'he sufe in the Three I ticket office contained some money but no attempt was made to blow it open. 'T'he robbers were evidently not experts, but simply among the tramps who hang avound the outskirts of the town and live upon the mistaken generosity of our citizens, They gained entrance into the B. & O. depot LY unfastening a window. They did but little damage at the B. & O, but at the Three I they broke up things considerably. The conpon ticket case, a valuable piece of furniture, was smashed open and greatly damaged.

A Bridge Combine. 40 The Indianapolis Journal lets a little light on the methods of the bridge companies which {t scems have organized to systematically rob the people of Indinna. It says: “I'ie plan of oper—ation involves the division of the states into sections, one of which is u}ipﬂor-, tioned to each company, with the nuderstanding that it is to hiave all the con tracts for bhridge building in the oonn«—fj fry within thatsection. An appearance of competition is made by other compavies filing bids whieh ave purpos | enongh to fford big profit. By ths ; dividiug ﬂt%“iiﬁ’“’ i competition excl compuny gets & good; slice of business at its own prices. No| doubt in some cases county commissioners ave in the deal, but it ean be made suecessful even without their ¢ooperation. Tt is really n trust to prevenr competition, to keep up the cost of bridge building and to flecce the people.” ‘ John A Duey’s Good Luck. ; Mr Join A, Duey, who resides at 908 South Bend avenune, has been notified that Lheis the rightful heir to an estate in Eugland, the value of which is estimnted at a half million dollars, The title to this estate comes to Mr, Duey through his first wife, who was an English woman of the family name of Woolger. 'Three claim agents were ! here last week to see Mr. Duey and nre so confident of the legitimaey of his elaim that they offered to lock after his interests for a commission. They said the estate has been in litigation, bas that the discovery of Mr., Duey will| put an end to it. Mr. Duey contem plates going to England to estalidish his right to the property. —South Bend | Tribune. e m;r Leg Broken. .
