hog cholera is raging in this town
ship regardless of the efforts of the
two men who came here from Iowa to
doctor them. Their medicine pro-
duced good results for few days but
it did not last. Geo. Bartlett on the
Nelson farm has already lost about GO
head, G.. A. Cheney about as many,
and neither of these parties expects
to save hog. Mr.. Cheney had about
800 pigs and hogs when the disease
struck them.

kicked by horse at Mr.. BARTLETT 6

be out of bed again. .e-sA.

Ray McPheeters had narrow
escape from a horrible death last
week while threshing at JnO. Othout's
on the Parry farm. One OF the
teamSterS drove up so close to the
machine as to smash the band cutters

ting bands, on to the belt and which
carried him nearly to the big fly
wheel of the engine.

PARK ASSESSMENTS.
Secretary Spencer Perplexea and
Wanting Information.

City Attorney Curtis yesterday afternoon
received a request from Secretary Spencer,
of the park board, for Information as to the
form of advertisement that is necessary in
publishing the work of the assessors. The
park law is indefinite on this point. 1t re-
quires the assessors to give ten days no
tice by publication of the time when they
will hear interested property owners with
reference to benefits and damages that
have been assessed against them. The
question is whether this means each prop
erty owner must be designated in the ad-
vertisements by name, and whether the de-
Scrlption of the property must also be given
as in delinquent tax notices, or whether it
is sufficient to describe the boundaries of
the lands assessed for benefits and dam
sary an immense amount of work will have
to be done. 1t will also be rather eXpen-
stVe. Mr.. Spencer says if the entire list is
published it will make up a larger roll than
any delinquent tax list ever published.
There are to be three separate publica-
tiOns-first by the assessors, then by the
board and finally by the court.
City Attorney Curtis said he did not care
to express an opinion on the subject until
it had been carefully considered, as any
step in the wrong direction might inVali-
date the entire proceedings, involving the
until it could be covered again. Some
property owners would like to see the en-
tire roll published, so they can form some
idea of what the parks are costing their
friends and neighbors. Mr.. Curtis says he
will lave his opinion ready for the board
at the meeting Friday afternoon. This
contingency has delayed the publication a
few DAYS.

HOLMAN'S SUCCESSOR.
Governor Mount Now Officially Knows
There Is n Vacancy.

Governor Mount received yesterday from
the attorney general an opinion as to when
the election of q successor to the late Will
liam S. Holman, as a member of Congress
from the Fourth district, may be held and
how the Governor should be officially mott
fled. Notification of the existing vacancy
was received yesterday from the clerk of
Dearborn county. After quoting the federal
and state statutes on the subject, the at
torney general says:
There is no federal statute regu-
lating the notice to be given the Governor
of vacancies in the national House of
Representatives. In case of the death of a
member of Congress the only way under
our statute in which the Governor can be
officially notified Of the vacancy is by the
clerk of the Circuit Court of the county
In which the deceased representative in
Congress resided.
Upon notice of a vacancy it is the duty
Of the Governor to issue writs of election
Tor the filling of such q vacancy fixing
the date for the election at some time prior
to the next ensuing session of the House
or Representatives. No time is fixed by
law within which the election shall be
called, but the time liked should be not
less than sixty days from the time of the
issuance of the writ, for the reason that
certain acts required by the election laws
for special as well as general elections
must be performed sixty days before the
election, and consequently ii would be wis
er, unless in case of emergency, to fix the
date at least sixty days after the issuance
of the writs.
I'm answer to your question whether the
Governor or the clerk of the Circuit Court
of the county in which the deceased mem
Der resided must be notified by the clerk
OF the House of Representatives of a va
cancy, l have to say that there is no such
provision in the law. but that when it has
been authoritatively brought to the knowl-
edge Of the clerk of the Circuit Court that
the representative in Congress of the dis
trtct of which his county is a part is dead
he is authorized to notify the Governor of
the existence of the fact of the vacancy"

COUNCILMAN wALCOTT's PLIGHT.
Indiana-Avenue improvements
Get Him in Trouble.

Frank E. Walcott. councilman from the
Fifth ward, has fallen into bad grace with
a number of his Democratic constituents
over this Improvement of Indiana avenue.
Last week a delegation of eight Democrats
and one Republican, among them Messrs.
Warner, Webb and Murphy. called on Mr..
Walcott 10 request him to vote against
the Improvement. He refused to listen to
such a proposition. He frankly admitted
that under the new ward ordinance he will
not represent Indiana avenue. For per-
sonal reasons he wants the road improved
and relying upon the fact that he will not
be again dependent upon them for their
support he refused to be guided by their
wishes. The Fifth ward as now constituted
includes d large portion of Indiana avenue.
Under the new boundaries one line of his
ward will extend along Indiana avenue
from Ellen 10 B~lackford street. This is
but one short block and Mr.. Walcott feels
entirely independent of his former con-
stituents, although he is supposed to repre-
sent them until next October. The three
men spoke of the occurrence last night
with considerable indignation. and We're
rather outspoken in saying they would re-
member him for it, even ii he Is no longer
in their ward They say he has a branch

GAS MEN HERE IN FORCE
ORGANIZING FoR A STRONG FIGHT
AGAINST OIL PROSECUTORS.
Many of the Large Manufacturers At
tend-WiH Urge Prosecutions
Executive Committee.

A very large meeting OF men interested in
the preservation of the gas supply was held
yesterday afternoon in the office of Judge
Lamb, president of the Consumers Gas
Trust. Among those present were:
H. G.. Chisnell and c.. c. Shirley,
Of Kokomo; Amos Whitley, Theo-
dore Rose, George Bard, r. j. Beatty and
Mr.. Hemingway, Of Muncie; James e. Muir
dock, of Lafayette; JOIN w. Lovett and j.
q. Vandeventer, of Anderson, and John
r. Pearson, Bement Lyman, Hugh Landon
and Judge Lamb, of this city.
The legal aspects of the case were dis
cussed somewhat by Judge Lamb. who de-
clared it his belief that the best plan to
pursue was to prosecute a case under the
statute providing a penalty of 5000 for the
willfuI waste of gas and carry this case to
the Supreme Court. If the law is there sus-
tanned there will be no further difficulty in
the matter. The majority of the gentlemen
present were inclined to take the same view
and inasmuch as such a prosecution has al
ready been begun in Madison county, they
will offer what assistance they can in the
prosecution Of this case. 1t was decided
to appoint an executive committee with full
power to act, composed of one man from
each city whose manufacturing interests
are endangered by the waste of gas. Mr..
Murdoch was made chairman of this COM
mittee, with the various cities represented
as follows: Kokomo, III. G.. Chisnell, gem
eral manager of the Diamond Plate Glass
Company; Muncie, r. J. Beatty, president
of the Midland Steel Company; Anderson,
j. f. Vandeventer; Alexandria, j. T.. Lip
pincott, of the Lippincott glass works; Ell
wood, w. B.. Leeds, president of the AmerI-
can Tin-plate Company; Hartford City,
Harry B. Smith; Marion, to be selected.
The gathering yesterday represented
something over SIS, 900, 600 of capital invested
in industries that depend upon gas for fuel
and these men are organizing for a strong
fight. A general meeting of Madison coun-
ty manufacturers is to be held at Anderson
to-day TO discuss the situation.

water. When the mother looked out to see
IL the child was keeping away from the
water she was Mortified to see her little
body floating in the tub.

Mr.. FAT0UT'S DEMHND.
County Commissioner Asked to Make
an Extra Allowance.

Warren Fatout, the contractor who built
an addition to the Marion county poor
farm last summer, has made a demand of
the County Commissioner for an extra al
lowance. The board has already paid Mr..
Fatout 1928, which the members say is all
that is due the contractor. Yesterday Mr..
Fatout, through his attorney, filed an ad-
ditional claim with the board asking that
he be allowed the sum of $685. 50 for extra
work done at the request of the architect
who had the work in charge for the county.
The commissioners have declined to pay
the amount. They say the architect does
not recall having the extra work done.
