BROWN, OF B0STON, BUYER
A MYSTERIOUS MAN PAYS 10000
FOR BROAD RIPPLE LINE.
He and Attorney Winter Only bidders
City Company Probably +,
the New Owner.

Receiver John B. Cockrum yesterday
morning sold the Broad Ripple trolley road
from the steps OF the courthouse for $4,000
after some bidding between William S.
Brown and Ferdinand Winter, the latter
dropping out after bidding sl99, $50. and see
ing it raised 10 $4,000 by Mr.. Brown. tn
bidding started with an offer Of $4,000 from
Mr. Winter. For a time the price went up
by 10000 jumps, but toward the last 500
and $50 bids we're offered.
Receiver Cockrum, when asked what he
Thought OF the price the road brought, said
that 1t was entirely satisfactory. TIL iden-
tity Of the purchaser is not known. except
that Mr.. Brown says he is from Boston and
represented other parties whose names he
would not divulge. When asked If he rep
resented Randall Morgan, Of the Indianapo-
lis Street-railway Company, he said he had
nothing TO say before Monday, by which
time the sale will have been confirmed.
He suggested, however, that the question
was a peculiar one in view OF the fact that
Ferdinand Winter was at the sale as a
bidder, it was generally admitted, in the in
terests of the Indianapolis Street-railway
Company.
While the general impression is that the
road has been sold TO the Indianapolis
Street-railway Company there is a general
belief that because Of business reasons
there will never be any direct Identification
OF the property with the main system and
that for this reason some Of the unknown
stockholders and directors of the Indianapo-
lis Street-railway Company will figure for
mally as the purchasers. Immediately after
the sale all sorts Of rumors as to the iden-
tity Of the purchasers of the road were
started. but no one except Mr.. Brown was
in a position to say whose money had been
paid for it and he refused to commit him
self. The high price paid for the road leads
many TO think hat the local street-railroad
company has secured ii, as no other bidder
could afford to pay the price merely In
order to secure a right Of way for some
projected interurban railway into the city.
Randall Morgan already holds 100000 worth
OF bonds of the company as security for
the loan Of s125 900 made to r. 7. McDon-
aid, and, in addition tc this. he he's bought
up 5000 worth of other debts of the Broad
Ripple road. Immediately after the sale
a deputy sheriff notified Receiver Cockrum
that the case involving the claim of the Nc
Donald estate had been appealed to the
Supreme Court through a petition filed by
Attorney W. A Ketcham.

THE RICHMOND HEALER.
state Medical Board Once Refused
Her a License.

The State Board of Medical Registration
and Examination is watching with interest
the case against the Richmond faith healer.
Mrs. Lydia w. Hazlett. She does not pre-
scribe any medicine or diet. but claims to
cure by laying her hands on patients and
repeating divine truths and invoking pray
err. She was acquitted Friday, an affidavit
having been filed against her by the local
authorities. Mrs. Hazlett has applied for a
license to the state authorities and has been
refused. The theory OF the State Board is
that any one who claims an intent to heal
any disease or Injury by any means for pay
is required 10 have a certificate. Mrs. Haz-
lett advertises and receives pay for her
services, and the State Board believes she
violates the law. although ii is a question
for the courts TO decide.

BOWLING AFFAIRS.
Tenpin Lengue Will Decide On Size
of Teams Tomorrow.

The directors of the Indianapolis Tenpin
League will meet tomorrow evening at the
Independent Turner alleys. At this meet
ing it will be determined whether five or
ten-men teams will be used in the games
next season. 1t is probable that the plan of
ive-men teams will be adopted. as there
was great objection to the games last sea-
son on account Of the lateness of the hour
when they were completed. Several appli-
cations from new clubs for membership in
the league Will be considered. as well as
some changes in the constitution and by
laws.
