BURNING AUTUMN LEAVES.
A Wise Plan to Permit Them to Re-
main the Grass.

When the leaves begin to fall the good
housekeeper worries herself because the
front lawn Is Uttered. To prevent this the
servents are required to sweep up the leaves
and destroy them. On the North Side this
destruction is becoming a great nuisance
From morning till night there is a lowering
cloud OF blue smoke from Washington
street to Fall creek, and in that smoke. ac-
cording to an authority. goes up the nour-
ishment which the thousands of pretty
lawns ought to have One householder, who
gives much care to her lawns, says it is a
great mistake to burn or haul away the au-
tumn leaves from the lawn. She says they
ought to be allowed TO remain on the grass
until the autumn rains have fallen and de-
composed the leaves. This makes good
fertilizer. And still better for the grass it
would be If the leaves were allowed to re-
main for a protection from the winter
SHOWS, she says.
During the last few days the leaf-hurn-
ers have in many Instances violated an inn
portant law of the city. Fires for burning
leaves are kindled reckleSsly upon the inn
proved streets. This is destructive to as
phalt and wooden block and wherever such
a fire is made the pavement Will rot and
wear away In a very short time People
who may believe that asphalt Is indestruc-
tible by fire might reasonably be expected
TO know that wooden blocks are infiamma-
BILE. but ii does not seem TO be So for these
fires have also been built on wooden-block
payements.

Mr.. HOLT FINALLY TALKS

Mayor Taggart Also Heard-ClarI1e g.
Sons Sue the City for Their

The Marion county grand jury yesterday
morning began it's investigation of the al
legged transaction between the F'ulmer-Sei-
bert Company and Sterling r. Holt in con-
nection with the White river intercepting
sewer. The jury worked all day on the

manned with the grand jury for an hour.
During the morning e. NJ. Johnson, city

jury room on private business, he said,
He remained only few minutes. At 2
o'clock in the afternoon the mayor was
summoned to appear before the jury. He

Der of witnesses to be examined

TIED THE ENTIRE FAMILY.
Masked Robbers in the Farmhouse of
the Hickses.

Samuel and John Hicks. brothers, living
on the line of Morgan and Hendricks coun-
ties, near Monrovia, drove to the police sta
ton at $3.50 o'clock yesterday morning and
told the police a sensational story of rob-
berry. Samuel Hicks is about thirty-hve
years old, married, and has three children,
aged twelve, nine and seven years. John
Hicks is unmarried, and lives with his
brothers family. They have a small truck
farm, and are engaged also as hucksters,
buying produce up from the surrounding
country and bringing it to this city.
Sunday night they retired early, and at
about 9 o'clock the burglars visited them.
The first intimation of their presence was
when the door opening into Johns room
was burst open, and a masked man placed
a pistol at the mans ear as he jumped out
of bed. Samuel, who was sleeping in an
adjoining room, ran in, and was also COW
cred by a second robber. Three masked
men entered the house and soon had all
the members of the family tied. Then they
searched the place and found $l4S. A bag
containing $l36 of the amount was taken
from under Johns pillow and $12 from
Samuel's trousers. Samuel, when he en-
tered the room and saw what was going
on, had hurled an organ stool at the near
est robber. When the search was COM
pleted and the robbers were about to de-
part one of them said to Mrs. Hicks:
Il would croak that fellow II 1t wasn't
for YOU
AS he turned about he noticed pumpkin
pie on table, with a pitcher of milk
alongside it. The three men fell to eating
the pie voraciously, remarking upon its ex-
cellence They passed a slice Of it out
through a window apparently to a fourth
robber on guard outside. When they left
they told the HickseS not to stir out of the
house or they would be killed. The robbers
evidently did remain a while outside the
house before leaving, for in a few minutes,
when buggy drove by along the road,
there was tapping on the window and
voice warned those inside to keep quiet.
The Hicks brothers departed, with the
conviction that the work was done by some
body living in their neighborhood. They
had come here thinking that 1t was done
by Indianapolis people, but Detective
Splann and others who heard the story
were not inclined to this opinion. The rob-
berS showed too great familiarity with
the family and surroundings to have come
from far away.
Samuel and John Hicks were held up
two weeks ago on the road home They
were near Plainheld when three men
sprang out of the darkness and ordered
them to throw up their hands John Hicks
The fellow fell to the ground, and Hicks
drove hurriedly away and escaped. Dur
ing the time the robbers were in the house
Sunday night one of them remarked, point
ing to John: THAT is the fellow that did
the shooting the other night and hit
Charlie"
When the men left the city yesterday
morning they took with them a bloodhound
with which they hope to track the robbers.
