REWARD WITH A STRING TO 1T.
Haughville Town Board May Not Pay
for Henderson's Conviction.

At the Town Board meeting of Haughville
last night bids were opened for the i'm
provement of Bismarck avenue from Grand
View avenue to the northern corporation
line. over a month ago tho Improvement
was ordered, but the first profile prepared
was incorrect and new one was made.
There were five bids received last night, the
lowest one being Go cents a lineal foot.
This was thought to be too high, and the
board rejected all bids and ordered the
clerk TO advertise for new ones a resolu-
ton was adopted ordering the Improvement
of Highland avenue from Michigan street
to the l., d. & w. railroad tracks. Philip
OFFS first addition to Haughville, COM
ing twenty-four lots along Cleveland street
north of Grand View avenue, was accepted.
The bill of the indianapolis Light and
Power Company, amounting to Sl19I, was
allowed, besides several other small bills.
The question of the Tarpey reward was
discussed. A new feature of this question
has recently come up in that the town
board had no authority to offer the reward.
This question will be decided by the court,
and town attorney Mitchell was instructed
TO look after Haughville's interest in the
proceedings In case il is decided the board
had authority to offer the reward, the
amount of $500 will be turned over to
court and the claimants will be required
to fight the question out among themselves
leaving the town out of the question.

ONLY GIVE A THOUSAND.
County Commissioners Will Not Help
the PesthOuse Plan.

The County Commissioners have decided to
donate to the city $1,000 towards building
the proposed pest house. The decision was
ton with Mayor Denny and the city Board
of Health. Mayor Denny and DR.. Hays adj
dressed the commissioners and urged the
need OF the institution which they proposed
building. The gentlemen explained that the
city, being disabled financially, could not
build the house, were IL disposed to dc so,
at its own expense. DR.. Hayes estim ated
the cost at something near $4,000. He said
that the city would contribute the ground,
but that it would be impossible to do more
toward accomplishing the work. The gen.
tlemen representing the city endeavored to
convince the commissioners that a pest
house would be no luxury, but an institu-
ton as beneficial TO the county AS TO the
city.
The commissioners contended that four
ffths OF the population of the county Is req
resented in indianapolis, and In case or a
plague the city would necessarily be the
greater sufferer and consequently would de-
rive the greater benefit from the use Of the
pest house. The board was not aVerSe to
donating the county'S share toward the
erection of the building but felt that the
After an hours discussion of the matter
il was decided TO invest $1,000 in the house
if the city chose to build it,
DR.. Hayes: of the city Board of Health,
stated last night that 1t would be impossible
to build the pest house unless the commits
sioners consented to give more money to-
ward il. Another meeting is to be arranged
when the physicians believe that they will

ton, even at the expense of the county.

ENNIS RODE HOME FREE.
1t Was Raining and So He Called the

Charles Ennis, who resides at No 5S4
West Maryland street, was in a saloon at
No $40 West Washington street last even
ing when the rain was pouring heaviest,
and as he was devoid of the necessary coin
TO pay for transportation to his home, he
bethought himself of scheme by which
TO get there. A wild message was sent to
the City Dispensary that man had broken
his leg at this number on Washington
street, and the city ambulance was soon
tearing away in that direction. Arriving
there ii found the victim TO be Ennis
With much care he was placed in the am
bulance, he all the while moaning as if in
great pain. The home reached, he was car
ried with the utmost tenderness into the
house after which his reputed injury was
investigated. The ATTENDING physician was
dumfOunded TO find none. and on demand
ing an explanation was informed by Ennis
as of his legs gave him great pain he
supposed he had the right TO call the am
bulance to convey him home. The ambu-
lance. with the dispensary physician, soon
departed, with the idea impressed upon the
physicians mind that all men with nerve
are not dead.
