JOHN BREHMER's WATCH
Taken by FoOtpads, but Recovered
Two Men Arrested.

Detectives Kinney and Gerber yesterday
recovered the watch stolen about two
months ago from John J. Brehmer and ar
re sted two men, who are charged with steal
ing it. John ]. Brehmer died about ten
DAYS ago. at the home of Charles Nankervis
his son-in-law, at 1903 Ludlow avenue. On
Sunday, Nov g. he fell in the street, and
was taken in an unconscious conditlon 10
the City Hospital. 1t was discovered that
he had taken morphine, though he after
ward denied that he had attempted suicide
He was discharged Monday morning, and
went to his daughters home He died there
suddenly Tuesday evening, at about 5
o'clock.
His death recalled the fact that about two
months before he had been held up and
robbed by footpads, who struck him heavy
blow on the head, and it was at first thought
that the blow was the cause OF death. line Inc
coroner's autopsy, however showed that
liver trouble produced death.
Brehmer had experienced an eVentful ca
reer for three months before his death. He
lived at 20 Henry street with his wife.
About three months ago she died. and he
took to drinking heavily. Twice ne vas vas
and the other time they took his watch.
The time he lost his watch he received the
blow on the head Then came the morphine
poisoning, and afterwards death.
Yesterday afternoon Frederick Conner, or
TAI South East street, went into pawnshop
at Alabama and Washington streets and Of
fered to pledge a fine solid gold watch. The
pawnbroker recognized the watch at once
as the one he had sold to Brehmer: AZ
about the same time Detectives Kinney ana
Gerber left the police station and walked
up Alabama street, toward Washington.
They saw John Sage, known thief, stand :
ing on the corner, and noticed that he start
ed away when he saw them. Gerber fol-
lowed him and arrested him on South New
Jersey street. Kinney went into the pawn
shop, and the proprietor explaining to him
the situation, Connor was arrested. Conner
was charged with receiving stolen goods and
carrying a concealed weapon. revolver be-
ing found in his possession. Sage was
charged with grand larceny.
Conner said he obtained the watch from
Sage, and was simply trying to sell it for
him. Sage told the police that he bought
the watch from a man by the name of Nc
Ginty, who died a few months ago. He said
he had owned the watch seven months.

AN ANSWER in GAS CASE
CITY ATTORNEY WILL HAVE 1T
READY TO FILE NEXT WEEK.
Nothing Heard from the Street-Car
Case at ChicagO-The Park
Litigation.

City Attorney Kern is writing the answer
in the gas case pending in the Federal
Court. He said yesterday that 1t would
hardly be ready to file before the middle
of next week, as the subject is one OF
great Importance and considerable care has
to be exercised in the preparation of the
answer
This is a suit to decide the validity or
the gas ordinance passed by the Council
some months ago. fixing the price of arti-
fetal illuminating gas at 70 cents thou
sand cubic feet. Before the ordinance went
into effect the Indianapolis Gas Company
began a proceeding to enjoin the enforce
ment of the ordinance.
Have you heard anything from Chicago
with regard to the 3-cent-fare case?" Mr..
Kern was asked.
mot yet. 1 understand that the court
there generally hands down decisions on
Monday. / expected decision last Monday,
but it was not forthcoming. 1t is possible
a decision will be handed down next Mon
day.
Concerning the status of the park litiga-
ton, Mr.. Kern said that there would hard.
ly be oral argument on the petition for a.
rehearing. About everything that he could
say was covered with the brief accompany.
ing the petition for a rehearing. Petitions
for rehearing must be filed within sixty
days after decision. On matters of public
Importance the court generally acts spe-
cially.
AS the attorneys for the Citizens Street,
railroad Company are engaged in the trial
of the bank case here, Mr.. Kern has not
taken steps to compel hearing OF argu-
ment on demurrers in the cases against
both street-car companies at Noblesyiiles
which are intended to settle the status or
the city on the street-car question after
1901. There is growing belief that the Citi-
zens' company will not make very active
fight in Hamilton county, believing that the
court there would hardly assume the re-
sponsibility of declaring the laws passed
by the last Legislature unconstitutional in
view of the decision of the Indiana Supreme
Court on the 3-cent-fare law.

sister without cause, and accused her OF
unfaitnfulness. 20 ESQ

wife has thrown missiles at him and chased
him about the house with a. butcher knife
in her hand. She left him some time ago
and refuses to answer his letters. The
plaintiff is a farmer.

THE CHAMPIONS UNBEATEN.
Won Their Eighth Straight Bowling
Game Last Night.

The Indianapolis Bowling Club won its
eighth straight game last night, defeating
the All-Americans on the Lyra Casino alley
by a score of 1926 to 1910. The game
started out somewhat slow. Both teams
seemed to be out of form and scores were
low. The champions managed to stay
slight in the lead during the first half.
and ran the lead up to fifty-slx points by
the time the last frame of the second half
was reached. Then the All-Americans
made great squirt which ought to have
won them the game, but the advantage
against them was too great. They beat the
champions for the frame by forty points.
The feature of the game was the work of
Lucius w. Wainwright, of the All-Ameri-
cans. He made a tota, of Ill points, which
is about the third highest score of the sea-
son. The score for the game was as follows;
