HIS WEALTH WAS HIDDEN
A SEARCH FOR THE MONEY OF
HORACE b.. MAKEPEACE.
Part of 1t Was Found Under n Door
Strip-0ther Cases OF Interest
I'm the Courts.

Since the appointment of the Indiana
Trust Company as guardian Of Horace B.
Makepeace, ex-township trustee, 1t has
been known that Makepeace had money hid
about his premises. Before he was adj
judged insane he took $500 home with him
and secreted it. His family was aware of
his action, but was unable 10 ind the
money. Finally $500 was found in his desk,
but the remaining 500 was missing. Sew
eral days ago this was reported to Judge
Walker, Of the probate department, who
ordered the trust company TO search the
premises for the missing money. Monday
evening Christian Brink, representing the
trust company, went TO M~akepeace's home
and began a search. After going over the
house carefully the investigation was
pressed further, and under a door strip in
the house, which had been loosened and
again nailed down, was found two 500 bills.
The find was reported to Judge Walker yes
terday.
: Makepeace says there is more money hid
den about the premises. but refuses to dis
close the hiding place. He says the money
is in gold. Further search will be made,
and it is believed more money will be found.
1t is thought that after the $500 was found,
to prevent the confiscation Of the remaining
500, he nailed il under the floor.

II Is evident that the Lake Shore people.
now controlling the Lake Erie & West
ern, will be more aggressive in future in
securing the Lake Erie & Westerns share
Of business at indianapolis and in this
territory. They have created a new Of
fce. that Of general agent, which position
is to be filled by l.. l.. Fellows, with
headquarters at Indianapolis. Mr.. Fellows
will continue to look after the business
of the Red and the West Shore fast
freight lines. On Dec. 1 he completed his
twenty-eighth year in railroad service. T.
d. Couch, agent at Michigan City, will
come to Indianapolis as successor to o.
X. Johnson as agent, and be succeeded at
Michigan City by r.. d. Thomas, promot-

between indianapolis and Michigan City
tor thirty years, commencing as agent at

5 and 10. and April 2 and Is. The rate

twelve years will be one-half the excursion
rates.
From a railroad man who keeps in close
touch with Southern roads IL is learned
that in case the Southern Railway secures
control OF the Monon il will likely eyentu-
ally build a road that the Monon people
have been contemplating-a branch from its
main line into Indianapolis. Its co~nstruc-
ton would let the Southern Railway into
the best coal fields OF Indiana and give it
a hold on Indianapolis traffic which the Mo-
non does not enjoy except in a long-dis-
lance route. Indianapolis would be directly
benefited were this road built. as IL would
pass through a territory that would furnish
the best coal in the State, a good farming
territory, and secure 10 the Indianapolis
stockyards shipments of live stock which
now go TO Chicago In many ways its con-
struction would benefit this city. In fact,
1t Is second to no railroad enterprise which
would benefit Indianapolis. unless ii be the
projected indianapolis Southern.
Amos Richardson, at one time road
master on the Bee-line, died at Manchester,
Ia, Nov. 9. He was born in Keene, n. H.,
menced on the Boston & Worcester in 1881:
was a tracklayer on the Boston & Albany
I'm 1888. and took charge of track laying on
younger brother. Joel f.. Richardson, West
took a position as roadmaster on the
Bee-line, locating at Muncie. To his broth
er, Joel r.. Rlcndf0SOn, Indianapolis is IN
debted for the Belt Railroad, which was
his original project. his private diary of
1873 recording it's progress from his first
broaching the subject till after its organ
ization. Joel died Feb. 4, 1885. The late
Col. l.. d. Richardson and these brothers
Were double cousins. Amos Richardson
leaves a widow, daughter and two sons.
Mention was made recently Of an ar
rangement shared in by the Big Four, the
Monon and Pennsylvania lines north OF
the Ohio river. and the Southern Railway
and Queen & Crescent south of the Ohio
for running solid full-vestibuled trains be-
tween Chicago and St. Augustine, Fla, the
roads named alternating in the service,
the trains leaving Chicago at 1880 a. m.
on Tuesdays. Thursdays and Saturdays.
w. H.. Taylor, assistant general passenger
agent of the Southern Railway, writes:
The idea of these trains is to attract the
tourists in Chicago and the Northwest to
Florida, instead OF Southern California,
which has heretofore been more of a draw
ing card for the people of the Northwest
than the Florida resorts. But with this
magnificent train service and quick time
and comparatively low rates. as against the
long trip and greater expense of the Cali
fornia trip, 1t is expected that tourist travel
TO Florida Will be greatly increased. 1t is
announced by the Southern Railway that
this new train will not interfere with their
double daily service from Louisville and
Cincinnati to Florida now in effect, the
same as last year, but will be IN entirely
new train"

It's Effect Is the Same as One Handed
Down Some Time Ago.

Down Some Time Ago.
TIL Supreme Cou yesterday affirmed
the decision in another of the gas cases,
holding, in effect, hat the transportation
of gas at high pressure, by means of
pumps, when the gas is left to flow freely
and naturally from the wells, and force is
used only to carry it to other places. can
not be e~njoined without showing hat some
danger to the plaintiffs property is threat
ened from the possible bursting of pipes or
otherwise. although such transportation
might be a violation of the criminal stat
ute. The opinion of the court was written
by Judge Bowling and is, In effect, practi-
cally the same as that handed down by the
Supreme Court a short time ago.
The case of James l.. Bodell against the
Brazil Block Coal Company, in which the
plaintiff was denied a Judgment in the low
er court for injuries sustained by being
struck with a falling lump of coal, was
yesterday affirmed by the Appellate Court.
The Supreme Court affirmed the decision
in the case of the Baltimore IL Ohio
Southwestern Railway Company VS.. the
Board of Commissioners of Jackson coun-
~, in which il was held that a public drain
may be located lengthwise of a railroad
right of way so as to be partly upon IL,
and the railroad ground may be assessed
TO help pay for it. The matter of building
the ditch has been in controversy for more
han eight years.
The appellees in the case of Edward A
Shedd and others VS.. James A. Webb and
others filed a motion in the Supreme Court
to strike out a brief filed by the appellant,
on he ground that IL violated the rule of
the court forbidding the filing of additional
briefs. The motion was overruled, the court
holding that the new rules are only in
force as to appeals filed since Nov. rs.

At a special meeting of the shareholders
of the Grand Trunk Railroad. in London.
yesterday, the purchase OF the Chicago
& Grand Trunk Railway was ratified. Sir
Charles Rivers Wilson, the president Of
the Grand Trunk Railroad, maintained
that the new arrangement would reduce
the obligations $4,000 a year, enable the
whole length of the line TO be double
tracked, and within a short time make
a glowing tribute to the former general
manager OF the Grand Trunk Railroad,
Charles M. Hays, saying 1t was impos-
sible TO find a second Hays. but, he added,
he believed George Bell Reeve, the for
mer traffic manager OF the Grand Trunk
Railroad and now the general manager
was the best man whose services could
possibly be secured. He dilated on the
sacrifice Mr.. Reeve had made in giving
up his retirement to take on the onerous
duties OF general manager. The share
holders congratulated the directors on
the action taken, and gratefully bid fare
we'll to Mr.. Hays. 1t was announced at
the meeting that Mr.. Hays's staff will all
remain with Mr.. Reeve.
