FATAL ACCIDENT.
Resident OF Perth Killed by a Street
Car at Camp Mount.

William Archer, of Perth, Ind, was killed
yesterday at the fair grounds while attempt
ing to board a car to return to this city.
Tt was a few minutes past 4 o'clock when
the rush for the return cars was the great
est. Thousands of people were crowding
through the gates and filing the platform
ready to fight with one another for seats
and hanging on room. AS a train pulled
around the curve after depositing a load
at the east side of the loop there was a
scramble and then cries from men and
women. A man had fallen or had been
pushed from the platform directly in front
of the train before it came to a stop. 1t
was necessary to raise the motor car to re-
move the body. One wheel had passed over
the body of the man before the motorfnan
could stop the Ear although the speed at the
when the body was carried aside out of the
crowd and ii was taken in charge by the
coroner and sent to Whitsett'S morgue. 1t
was learned there that the life had been
crushed out Of Archer's body, the breast
being crushed in. There were no other in
Juries or severe bruises.
Archer was twenty-five years old and I'M
married. He came to this city yesterday
on an excursion and naturally went with
the crowd to Camp Mount. No one could
be found who actually saw him fall under
the car. Everybody seemed intent, like
himself, on boarding the train to get back
down W The theory, however, is that he
of the platform. The body was identified
by papers found in the pockets. Word has
since been received from Perth and the
body viii be shipped there to-day.

1nasmuch as a large percentage or the
visitors to Camp Mount yesterday were
from out Of town, and were employing their
first opportunity to visit their friends and
relatives it was decided to allow more or
less Of free access to the different regiments.
The great throngs were quick to take ad-
vantage of the liberty and as a consequence.
the boys. particularly those from put of
town, held informal receptions all day long
to their friends from home. A close watch.
however, was maintained by the officers for
any indications Of the presence Of whisky,
and any person seen to be under the influ-
ence of liquor, was denied admission to the
grounds inside regimental lines. Fortu-
nately. there was little need Of such strin-
gent rules, as most Of the visitors were too
much pleased to see their friends to him
seriously Of infringing on the rules.
AT noon, however, the crowds became so
heavy that 1t was deemed necessary to re-
strain the throng and accordingly the SEN
tries were instructed to allow no one inside
the lines. For a time the guards had some
trouble in making the people understand
that they would not be allowed to walk over
the grounds where a few moments before
they had passed unmolested. Finally the
rule became generally understood, and no
disorder Of any kind was noticeable. The
driveways and public avenues were filled
with people walking back and forth, but up
until 2 o'clock in the afternoon not a car
riage was seen within the grounds. The
only vehicles besides bicycles noticeable
were the commisSary wagons drawing sup
plies for the different regiments. The night
before was an %uneventful one. there being
no cases reported of attempts to run the
guards and indications all pointed yesterday
to the assumption OF a philosophical atti-
tude by the boys with regard to the duties
to be exacted of them in this respect Yes
terday the guardhouse was empty.

Through the center of the driveway which
runs In front Of general headquarters there
runs a strip Of grass plot which the Board
of Agriculture did not care to have torn up
by the large crowd yesterday. Guards were
therefore posted with instructions to pre-
vent anyone from crossing or walking on 1t.
They had q busy time keeping the crowd
off. and in his effort to do so one Of the
sentries was a victim Of a practical joke.
Several Of the young men who visited the
camp had made it a practice to run across
the grass when the sentry's back was
turned, and his patience had in time become
almost exhausted. Finally one of the young
men seeing the sentry at the further end
of the plot, started in a straight line as II
to cross. The Gentry, seeing him, maze q
wild dash at HIM, waving his musket and
shouting at the top of his voice. When about
two feet from the grass, the young man
stopped and pulling out a camera focused
it on the general and his staff, who were
ranged in front of headquarters. The sentry.
noting his action, stopped about ten feet
off and humbly apolOgiZed, while the young
man kept his camera directed toward the
distinguished group and & dozen of his con-
federates crossed over in front of the sentry,
who seemed to think that the camera was
a passport to any sort of favor when di-
rected toward the brigadier general, and
stated Afterwards that he thought he had
no right to interfere while the man was
taken pictures,

One Experience with a Guard.

Several people about the camp possess
passes emitting them to go anywhere with
in the lines at all hours. One of these yes
terday passed through the lines Of the Sec
ond Regiment and was promptly halted by
the guard. You can't go through here"
said the guard. "Oh, I guess I can," said
the bearer of the pass, at the same time
showing his document The sentry looked
at it very closely for a few moments and
then said, We'll, that thing amt no good
other, you dom dispute the authority of

who is he anyway? Seeing that the case
was hopeless. the bearer of special author
ity, which in this case did not authorize,
passed on to another sentry who was more
familiar with the chief officers Of the bril-
Rado.

TALES FROM THE CAMP
INCIDENTS OUT OF THE ORDINARY
AMONG SOLDIERS AMI VISITORS.
A Visit to "DudV q Characteristic
Story OF Camp ExperienCe-Touch
of TrOlIey-CaT Life.

Among the hundreds of people from the
country who visited the camp yesterday
two, observed on one of the cars going out
to the camp on the Illinois-street line, were
interesting as types Of men to whom a
visit to a large city is an event to be re-
membered and talked over at firesides and
country stores for many months. One of
them was about thirty-f1ve years old and
the other many years younger. They had
not known each other before they happened
to meet on the running board Of the crowded
car, but they both had that readiness to
enter into conversation with strangers
which is almost peculiar to the rural dts
tricts. One Of them started a conversation
with the other. which lasted all the way
out to the grounds, by asking, did ye ever
ride on a 'lectric car before?"
"Oh, yes" replied the older man, "Tve
rode on 'em several times at Marion. I live
six miles out O. Marion and a 'lectric car
line runs from Marion to Jonesboro. It's
seven miles long"
The car sped along until it entered the
residence part of town.. Finally the younger
man remarked, Say this Is a great resi-
dence town. amt it."
YES" said the older man, There's a
whole lot a rich people live on this street
I reckon"
The conversation shifted to the number
Of people on the car and 81 computation Of
the amount OF money that the street-rail-
road company must have been making. The
older man figured out that the company
must a made 81 every fifteen minutes
during the day and the younger man agreed
with him that K could not be less than
that. The older man then regaled his new
found friend with a long story of how a
street car nearly backed into a railroad en-
CINE at Marion and how the motorman
was warned of the danger by the screams
Of women on the car, all of which was in
terjected by the younger man with remarks
of, us that SOL" and finally with an en-
phatic, burned If hat wusn't a close
shave"
After a few minutes silence the older man
said suddenly. Say, there's enough power
in that there wheel on that trolley pole to
kill a million men, I reckon"
TIL younger man grinned and said, IT'D
be a scheme if they could hook that wire
on to tn Spanish army and turn on full
power. It'd kill 'em ALL" The next two
squares We're occupied by the two men in
laughing over the joke. When they had be-
come sober again the younger man asked
the older how much land was worth In his
neighborhood, to which the older man re-
piled that It was worth about $50 an acre
and that travellers that q come to
Marion said that IL wuz Soma OF the richest
soil they'd seen in the whole country"
When the car slowed UP near the fair
grounds, because of other cars ahead OF it.
the two men decided that It was caused by
the fact that so many cars running close
together required too much power to allow
n one OF them to run fast. The two
jumped of Of the car wh,n they saw an

Soldiers and Lemonade.

Many strange sights were seen on the
camp ground yesterday and much merri-
ment was caused by the unconscious partici-
pants. AT one of the booths where circus
lemonade was sold a soldier with his best
girl had called for a brace of drinks and
while waiting for them to be served the
soldier said anxiously, Pm afraid to drink
that stuff because lemons always disagree
with me-" "Oh, don't let that bother you
said the slick vendor of tartaric acid. 1.-THE
lemons in this lemonade won't hurt you"
This soldier didn't see the point Of the re-
mark SO much as the bystanders did, but
the vendor probably hit the mark closer
than he intended.

their eyes on the camp OF i've thousand
soldiers to allow themselves to wait until
the car arrived at the main entrance As
they left the car the younger man was
heard to say, II paid a dollar to come to
Ind'nap'lis to-day an I'm goin' to get my
moneys worth of seein'," which remark
started the older man on such a loud and
long laugh that he was heard by the pas
sengers after the car had rounded the turn.
COME TO SEE "DUD."
A small group Of people was waiting yes
terday afternoon for one of the boys to
come off Of guard duty and to meet them
at the place where they were standing in
the shade of one of the buildings. The
group consisted of two men, one wearing
a long linen buster and the other with that
ruddy complexion and squint of the eyes
that comes from working in open fields I'M

women, evidently mother and daughter, and
a little boy. The young soldier they were
versation. They had come from a good as
lance to the camp to see "Dud," and their
impatience at his delay was explained away
by the older man, the one in the linen
buster, who delighted in extolling the du-
ties of the soldiers and their strict atten-
ton to duty. With his cane he Illustrated
thusiastic as he told of the clock-work dis
cipline of the camp. 1t was EVIDENT tnat
none Of the group had seen DUO Tor q

time. At last one of the women, the daugh-
ter, exclaimed: There, l see him! He's
coming right to us!'
"I wouldn't a-knowed him." said the older
man, and then his pride in knowing soldier
life caused him to say. Hell eb nave ntYe 70 9se re-

others chimed in with assent to the last
statement, and as the boy drew nearer their
faces glowed with pleasure.

man to the young woman. Maybe it'll be
your last chance" The young woman
blushed and said nothing, but when the tall,
handsome young soldier came up she kissed
two men shook hands with him. After a
short talk about family affairs the young
soldier went away to get some rreSn water
in his canteen. The older man looked after
him and said: You bet your life he4l make

man said: NOV Foss has drunk from

It's an experience to drink from a canteen."
At that the women wanted to drink from
the canteen for the experiences sake. ana
they were satisfied. The women had brought
two boxes of food from home, which the
soldier gratefully accepted. The time came
for the parting, and, after shaking hanos
and kissing the young soldier goodbye, they
left him. He looked after them a moment
Clgingly, and the walked slowly away,
swinging his canteen and carrying the boxes
carefully under his arm.
