Chief Barrett's Amusement.

Baling hay is a new recreation with which
Chief Barrett and the fire force will amuse
themselves this hot weather in addition to
their fun in fighting fires. The Board of
Safety yesterday authorized Chief Barrett
to buy q. baler for $3.50. He was also di-
rected to try and procure a shed beneath
which the pastime might be INDUCED in: AS
an excuse for the expenditure it is said the
department can save about $3.50 on each ton
of hay by baling it, beside which, it is
argued. g. better quality of horse feed can
thus be procured The members of the board
were inclined to think that the real reason
for the request was in order to afford the
f1remen a new form of amusement but
acquiesced in the proposition.

GREENCASTLE, Ind, July 20-The pre-
liminary hearing of Hiram Collins, charged
with forging a check for $S5, was held this
morning. Collins's attorneys attempted to
have the affidavit quashed on the grounds
that the check was illegal, as there was no
documentary revenue stamp attached
thereto, and that, therefore, the case could
not be prosecuted on the charge of forgery.
The court overruled the motion to quash
and bound Collins over to the Circuit Court.
The court cited authorities under the old
revenue law in which the higher courts had
decided that the revenue law did not inter-
fere with the rights of State courts.
