Thought He Was Scared.

w
A young surgeon who is newly returned
from the wars, tells me story of an officer
many of you know. 1t was before Santiago.
The surgeon, going to the front, came upon
a young officer, sitting beside the road,
trembling like leaf, and whittier than the
dead men around him. AT sight of the sur
geon he began to talk.

put his hand to his stomach. The surgeon
gave him a quick look and caught him as
he plunged forward in a faint. Where the
awful goneness was a Mauser bullet had
found its billet. They carried the wounded
man to the field hospital, and he chuckled
all the way.

NOT ON THE BACK TAXES
BLOOMINGTON WATER WORKS LA
BILITY IS SET ASIDE.
Judge Bakers RuIing-A Case of Too
Much StepmOther
Alleged.

One of the last steps in the receivership
troubles of the Bloomington Water Works
Company was taken yesterday when Judge
Baker in the Federal Court permanently
enjoined Joseph S. Woodard treasurer of
Monroe county, from collecting taxes
charged to the company for the years from
1892 to 1897.
The plan of the receivership has all along
been to sell the plant, but under the terms
of a former decision of the court the sale
must be without membranes of any kind
hanging over the property. Under former
decision by the Federal Court taxes for the
years 1897 and 1898 were ordered paid to
the amount of 1886, and this was construed
by the county treasurer to mean that the
company might be made liable for taxes
dating back to it's inception.

Henry F. Cloud Tells the Court an I'm
usual story.


Henry F. Cloud, in suit for divorce
brought in the Superior Court yesterday
against Mary ]. Cloud, recites a woeful
story. He was married to the defendant
in 1878. He says he had four small children
when he made this second marriage, and
he charges that the children were so badly
treated by their stepmother that they had
to leave home. The woman. he says, had
a habit of catching his little SON by the
hair and jerking him to the floor. In April,
1897, according to the complaint, the plant
lift left his wife and sued for divorce. About
this time she was indicted by the county
grand jury for perjury and the plaintifI,
having much sympathy for the woman, en-
ployed an attorney to defend her. This
trouble brought them together again, and,
in a measure. their differences were recon
ciled.
But PLAINTIFF says it is no use trying to
live with the defendant, and now brings an
other suit for divorce. They have one child,
girl aged fourteen, and the plaintiff says
if she has the right kind of treatment she
will grow up to be good woman. He says
his wife abuses the child, and sometimes
throws her on the bed and holds hei. head
down with a pillow. The plaintiff demands
the custody of the girl.

MANY HEATS NECESSARY
SIX IN THE 2.Os TROT AND SEVEN IN
THE 2:2O PACE.
Captain Jack and Bay Leaf the VIM
ners at COIumbus-One Driver
Changed and Another Fined.

COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 2O-The weather
was clear and warmer to-day, but the track
was several seconds slow. The 2:0S trot,
postponed from Wednesday, was a disap-
pointment There was suspicion among
the judges that Nell was not driving Pilot
Boy to win. and when the gray gelding was
permitted to drop to the rear in the fourth
heat Nell was admonished. His effort in
the next heat did not satisfy the judges, and
McHenry substituted, but to no avail,
for Pilot Boy was not equal to the emer-
gency. Captain Jack won the last three
heats and the race. Birch Twig was favor
lite in the 2:20 pace, but Bay Leaf, a rank
outsider, won the race when Finley had
been compelled to drive him out. In the
first three heats it was apparent that Bay
Leaf had the speed but was not being
pushed, and the judges promptly fined Fin
ley 500. Hans McGregor was the favorite
in the oil trot, but on scoring the second
time the chestnut geding ran away and
was not stopped until he had twice encircled
the track. Kinney was thrown. but not in
jured. Hans McGregor was then drawn and
all bets declared off. Only three heats
were trotted, there being three heat win
ners when racing was stopped by darkness.
