Their Thirteenth Annual Reunion
Numerous Prizes Offered.

The old settlers held their thirteenth an
nual reunion at Broad Ripple yesterday,
and made a merry time of it. The attend
ance would have been extremely large had
the new Broad Ripple electric line been
completed. A number of people who in
tended to go out from the city were COM
PEELED to forego the pleasure of the day.
Early in the morning the farmers from
all parts OF the county began 10 arrive az
the grounds with well-hlled baskets. Many
venerable people were in the crowds, and
there was much friendly rivalry as to age
and claims to priority as pioneers. Short
addresses were made in the morning Ly
Hon. Albert G. Porter and w. w. Herod.
Prof. Royale gave a balloon ascension n
the afternoon, and two bands furnished a
musical programme.
The prizes were numerous and the con-
tests were spirited. Ladies had boat races
and prizes were awarded for speeches by
the old folks on different topics pertinent
TO the early settlement of the State. The
best looking couple on the ground received
a prize and the best looking baby earned
$40 in gold for its parents. There were
foot races for boys and numerous other

usual time the available seats, chairs and
boxes were filled and the people who kept
pouring in sought places of advantage for
seeing. some by climbing on the fences
and others by squatting on the ground be-

dense was the crowd that guards had to
be stationed at either end to prevent the
people from encroaching upon the stage

from Snelbyville.

The special feature was a representation
of Niagara falls in colors. 1t was two
hundred feet long, and tubes placed at in
tervals of a foot shot forth jets of fire that
mingled, and made an elaborate and beau

thirty feet like a shower of gold filings,
and great effect was given as the fire

three minutes. Owing 10 the cost and diff

Though the G.. A. r. emblem was not as

COSTS MORE THAN COAL.
FrenZeFs Gas Contract with His Own
School Board.

Commissioner Blackledge has figured out
that the present gas contract made by
the School Board with the Consumers
Gas Trust is at the rate of $34 a room for
each school room in the city. This is
much higher than coal for the same rooms
could be secured. This is Frenzel's gas
company dealing with Frenzers School
Board. Mayor Denny was asked yester-
day to give an expression upon this price
and at first declined. saying he did not
care TO NEEDLE with the affairs Of the
School Board. When he was told what
the price a room was his answer was sew
eral prolonged whistles. He was apparent
~ dumfounded at the rate. He said he
heated his entire house with furnace and
crates in each room and two stoves for
$6I a year.
Mayor Denny said he thought the price
proposed to be given for the Ricketts,
property was entirely too high. He based
his opinion upon the opinion of other per-
sons better acquainted. he said, with the
values of real estate than he.

KLINE'S BODY STOLEN
GHOULS ENTER THE CEMETERY OF
CENTRAL HOSPITAL FOR INSANE.
The Body Was That of n Cigar Maker
Who Died Last Tuesday
buggy Tracks

The body of John S. Kline, who died at
the Central Hospital for the Insane last
Tuesday, and was buried Wednesday in the
hospital cemetery, was stolen Wednesday
night by graverobbers. Though the rob-
berry evidently occurred about midnight, il
was not known until yesterday afternoon
about 2 o'clock. A night Waterman, in
making his last round over the cemetery,
saw that the dirt on Kline's grave was
dry, while that on the others showed
marks of the nights rain. The dirt on
Kline's grave looked as IL Ii had been dis
turbed. and on reporting to headquarters
he told his superior officers what he had
seen. However, no report was made to Su-
perintendent Edenharter, and he did not
learn OF the statement until about noon.
He went to the cemetery and decided that
ghouls had evidently been there the night
before. There were many footprints around
the grave and buggy tracks leading to and
from the gate Of the cemetery. The condi-
ton of the dirt on the grave was as the
Waterman had stated. AT 2 o'clock he or
dered an Investigation to be made. The
dirt was removed and the coffin exposed.
AT the first glance it was seen that the
body was missing, as the interior Of the
coffin could be plainly seen through a hole
in the side which had probably been made
by the robbers in forcing the coffin open.
The coffin was hoisted. but nothing was
found inside.
Superintendent Edenharter came to the
city and Informed Superintendent Powell,
of the police, and the latter Immediately
set the entire detective force to work. The
buggy tracks indicated that the party came
from the south and went north after get
ting the body. The tracks could be plain
ly seen as far as Michigan street, but there
they were lost.
Kline was forty-seven years old, a cigar
maker by trade, and a member of the
union. Though he was married, he did not
live with his wife. The records of the City
Hospital show that the ambulance removed
Kline from No. 271k East Washington
street Aug. q. and that he was suffering
from dementia- DR.. Wright, of the City
Hospital, concluded that Kline was insane,
and on Sept. / had him taken to the in
sane hospital. During the ten Jays that
followed Kline's condition gradually be-
came worse until his death on Sept. II, last
Tuesday. He has a brother from Ohio in
the city. who. in connection with the Cigar
Makers Union, is helping the police to To-
cate the body.
DR.. Edenharter, Of the insane hospital, is
very indignant, as he says there is no ex-
cuse for the robbery. The statutes of In
diana, he said. permit the medical colleges
to get a sufficient number of cadavers, and
he believed that the body was stolen by
some young ambitious physician or student
h desired a skeleton.

two years old, employed by Horace Brown,
