LIVELY RUNAWAY.
Double Team Dashes Through Crowd
ed Streets--SOme Damage Done.

A team hitched to a mineral water
wagon ran away yesterday from
near Virginia avenue and New Jer-
sey street and caused much excite
ment before it was finally stopped,
more than mile from the place of start
ing. The driver left the horses unhitched
while he went into saloon to deliver goods.
The horses were headed towards the VIA
duct They ran over this and north on
Delaware street to Massachusetts avenue.
Several vehicle drivers skillfully avoided
collision with the mineral water wagon.
At Market street buggy was struck and
a man and boy thrown out but not IN
iured. The runaway team ran north on
Massachusetts avenue one block and turned
east on Vermont street.
People all along the way tried to stop the
horses, some by clambering into the wagon
and others by that foolish but ever prev
alent method of throwing a hat in the air
and yelling. This latter only added to the
horses fright, and when they turned into
Vermont street they were going at merry
clip. At East street there IS an offset in
Vermont street and an alley directly oppo-
site the end from which the horses came.
Into this alley they dashed and they began
to show signs of weakening. AT Noble
street Charles Prange climbed into the
reached New York and Davidson street was
able to stop them. The horses did not seem
to be any the worse for the trip Charles
Kleis. the driver of the team, was arrested
bV PatrOlman Moore on a charge of leaving
the horses unhitched.

guish "a Fire.

North street, yesterday morning. DR.. C. L.

~ afterward hts wife had occasion To open
the door leading into the garnet and discov-
cred the fire. She called to her husband
and when he arrived the garnet was filled
with smoke and flames. In his excitement
he ran directly into the fire. He threw
some articles of furniture which were burn
ing out of the window and then dashed
down and out into the street. By this time
the firemen had arrived. and it was with
difficulty that they restrained Mr.. Lowe in
his determination to enter the burning
house again.
MIR. Lowe was burned about the hands,

STUDENT ROW At BUTLER.
Seniors Whipped by the ''Preps" in a
Class Fight.

The students at Butler are showing more
class spirit than the faculty deems neces-
sary. Yesterday morning the college halls
were a scene of some good-natured scuf-
filings. The preparatory students have been
worrying the seniors not little by their
pranks. Wednesday night the seniors made
a flag with 81 painted on it in big black
figures and displayed it in the college tower.
But before morning the props, assisted by
a few college students, had the flag down
and yesterday morning the props, each with
a strip of the senior flag tied in his button
hole, started up to chapel shouting at the
top of their voices:
'Raggetty raggettys raggetty rag,
Where! o. where is the senior ftag?"
At the top of the stairs they were met
by the seniors, who tried to keep them
from coming into chapel wearing their tro-
phies of victory. general fight ensued in
which the seniors got the worst of it and
which was stopped only by the facult :
coming to the rescue. After chapel the
fight was renewed, but at threats of sus-
pension by the faculty the students re-
turned to their classes.
Rev. Mr.. Norton, of New York was pres
ent at chapel yesterday morning and con-
short speech tc the students in which he
showed that he enjoyed the spirit of general
hilarity which was manifested. Mr.. Norton
also announced a course of lectures to be
delivered by him in the Downey-avenue
Church. The first of this course of lectures
was delivered last night. The subject was
'Hells of Larl Cities"

BEFORE THE BOARD.
Petition for Asphalt ON Ash Street
Want ''The ShamrOcks" ImprOve&;.

HetiuOh 1or AsphaIt on Ash Street
Want ''The ShamrOcks" Improved.
A few resident property owners of Ash
street filed a petition yesterday asking that
that street be improved from Fifteenth to
Sixteenth street with long-leaf yellow pine
blocks. The board had intended to asphalt
the street from Fifteenth and Twenty-first
street, but decided to abandon the plan
when "a long remonstrance was fled The
petition made yesterday was granted and
the engineer was directed to draft the
necessary papers. 1t is expected that there
will be circumstances against this improve
ment as many Ash-street property owners
object seriously to having any improve
ments made this year.
Citizens of West indianapolis want direct
communication with Washington street
There is a large territory between the sub
urb and Washington street that is unim-

The Shamrocks." 1t lies between the rail-
road tracks and is mostly given over in
summer to baseball, craps and shell work.
ers. Last summer a murder was commit
ted in this region. 1t resulted from a fight
over Il game of craps in which whites and
blacks We're participating. 1t is believed
that If a few streets We're opened through
this region it will reduce many evils be-
side aftording an avenue of communication
To Washington street and the business por-
lions OF town. A petition was filed yes
terday asking that Drover street be opened
from its present northern terminus in West
Indianapolis to Washington street. After
this is done the board will be asked to
open other streets. There is Il belief that
when streets are opened much unimproved
ground will be thrown open for building
purposes.
There was a petition filed yesterday for
the permanent Improvement of College av-
enue from Twenty-fifth to Twenty-eighth
street. The kind OF pavement to be ordered
was left to the option of the. board. II
the avenue is improved at all it will likely
be with bricks. in order that that portion
of the roadway may conform with the
lower sections. There was also a petition
asking for cement walks on College eVenue
from Twenty-seVenth TO TWenty-elghth
street.
Villa-avenue residents want that thor
oughfare provided with gravel roadway and
cement walks from Woodlawn avenue to
Lexington and with cement walks from
Prospect street to Woodlawn avenue.
After the engineer has investigates the
different petitions further action will be
taken by the board.

State Medical Board to Begin Issuing
Licenses Next Week.

The state medical board adjourned yes
terday noon after announcing that it would
be ready by next Friday to begin the work
Of licensing the six thousand practicing

require an examination from all those who
do not hold a diploma from some college

clare that Indiana has suffered greatly
from incompetent doctors and they propose
to use all the power al their command to
put an end to irregular practice. Inasmuch
as those physicians who are refused a Ii

to the Circuit Court, it seems likely that
the courts may have their hands full in
reviewing the work of the medical board.

will expire June l, ard he will be succeeded
as instructor of the Indiana militia by
Lieut. w. Z. May of the Fifteenth United
States Infantry. Lieutenant Mays folks
live at Charlottesville. and a large num-
Der of his friends recommended that the
Governor request his appointment to this
detail by the War Department. The de-
partment only permits the detail TO last
four years, and this made 1t impossible for
Lieutenant Defrecs to remain. He has been
immensely popular here ever since his ar
rival four years ago and should ne return
to his regiment which is now stationed

his departure. During the last year he has

been made for his retirement from the

Desperate Attempt at Self-Destruc-
ton by Woman.

Laura Thompson, woman living i'm the
rear of "a North West street, tried to end
her life yesterday afternoon. She first
tried morphine, but that worked too slowly
to suit her fancy and she swallowed a
quantity OF carbohc acid. Drs. Stotler and
Dickerson Of the Medical College of In

vent the morphine accomplishing the pur-
pose for which it was intended A stomach
