What the PerusaI of a Dry Document
Brought Forth.

The operations of the federal bankruptcy
law frequently bring TO light cases which
are strongly tinged will pathos. Such a
case is that OF Ransom A. Rees, a farmer
living near Muncie. who filed a petition in
bankruptcy yesterday in the office of the
United States clerk. The merest casual
glance through the list OF Mr.. Rees's LA
bilities was all that was necessary to show
that he has been the victim of the generous
but unwise custom Of going upon other peo-
Piles promissory notes and becoming surety
for men who are required, for one reason or
another, 10 execute bonds. Such obligations
as these make up almost the entire amount
of Mr.. Rees's liabilities, s1,245. His assets
are $500. which are exempt by statute.
Jules Levy. another bankrupt, whose res
idence is given as Elkhart, indicated in his
petition that IL he could collect a certain
claim against c. G.. Conn & Co, the WELL
known Elkhart firm of musicaf instrument
manufacturers, he might not have been
compelled 10 go into bankruptcy. Levy
claims a contract with the COINS by which
he was hired 10 act as an expert tester OF
musical instruments at a stipulated salary
until May %. 1906. and that he was dis
charged without adequate reason. A suit
has been brought on this alleged contract.
Mr.. Leyy's liabilities are stated to be 49,

AN UNKNOWN MAN KILLED
FATAL ACCIDENT AT BIG -FOUR
TRACKS AND NEW JERSEY STREET.
Fireman Says Man Threw Himself
Under the Wheels as the Engine
Passed Him.

An unknown man, thought from his dress
to be a farmer or teamster, was killed,
about 9 o'clock last night. at the crossing
Of the Big Four tracks and New Jersey
street, by being run over by Big -Four
switch engine No. %, in charge of En-
gineer Matt Rock and Fireman H. Mon
dairy. His legs were crushed off above
the knees and held only by the skin. He
was also internally injured, and died at
st. vincent's Hospital an hour later with
out having recovered consciousness or re-
vealing in any way his identity.
His death, from the statement of the
fireman, was thought to have been the
result Of momentary insanity or a de-
nberately planned suicide. Fireman Mon
dairy said the man stood alongside the
track, and as the engine passed, dived
under the rear drive wheels. The action
was so sudden that the fireman had no
time to signal the engineer to stop, and
the wheels passed over the man.
He was about fifty years Of age, and
wore a dark overcoat, a dark coat and
vest and dark gray trousers with boots.
He had the appearance of a farmer, and
in his pockets were found two hay scale
checks for hay weighed at the Central
hay scales. One had the name Of the
Indianapolis Stove Company on it and the
other bore the name of T.. Taylor, and
was dated Sept. 10. The only other ar
ticles found on him were a pipe and some
tobacco. He had a beard, mustache, and
hair, all tinged with gray. After his death
the body was removed to Whitsett's I'M
dertaking rooms upon order Of the coroner.

HAIR ORNAMENT BURNED
1T NEARLY CAUSED THE DEATH OF
MISS MATTE GEORGE.
A CeIIuIoid Ornament Ignited from a
Gas Fire-Rescued by Ar
thur Crane.

Miss Matte George was accidentally and
seriously burned Monday night in a most
unusual manner 1t resulted from the
wearing of a celluloid ornament in her
hair, and her escape from death was prob
ably due to the presence Of mind and quick
action of her cousin, Arthur Crane. four
teen years Of age.
Miss George was attending a birthday
evening party at the home of her sister-in-
law, Mrs. Bertha Crane, at 533 Tacoma
avenue. While the festivities were at their
height Miss George stopped in front of an
open gas fire to pick something from off
the floor, and instantly the ornament in her
hair ignited from the gas fire, setting fire
to her hair and burning it from her head.
as we'll as deeply burning the scalp. For a
moment there was the greatest excitement
among the guests, and Miss George, in her
agony, ran out of the house and fell upon
the ground in the yard. She was followed
by a number of her friends, and among
them was her cousin, Arthur Crane, who
pulled off his coat and wrapped it about
her head, smothering the flames. after she
had been terribly burned. DR.. Robertson
was called from Michigan street, and, after
applying soothing lotions, bound up her
head and she was placed upon a couch in
a room adjoining the one in which the even
ing's entertainment was continued.

FOR H ART MUSEUM
INDIANAPOLIS ART ASSOCIATION
WILL BUY TALBoTT PLACE.
ing of the Section Last
Night.

The Indianapolis Art Association has
finally determined on a site for the Art
Museum to be erected under a bequest in
the will Of the late John Heron. The ques-
ton Of the selection Of a site has been agi-
tating the Indianapolis public for many
months. At a meeting of the board of di-
rectors held last night at the Propylaeum
it was decided to buy the Talbot-place
property If it can be purchased within the
figures set by the association nearly a year
ago. This property is situated on Sixteenth
street. between Pennsylvania street and
Talbot avenue. There were twelve directors
present last night. and ten voted for the
Talbot-place property.
At a meeting OF the board Of directors
held last January the matter of purchasing
a site was brought up, and a resolution
was adopted f~avoring the purchase OF the
Talbot-place ground. The resolution pro-
vided that the association would pay $4,000
for the ground if the city would vacate
Seventeenth street, lying Immediately north
of the property, and the owners of the two
lots just north Of the street would donate
this real estate. After the passage of this
resolution the directors decided that In
view VI the lat Tia luClC was tOlrlucI-
able difference of opinion as to the selection
OF the site the matter had perhaps better
be hNd IN allegiance for a time.
The Hlance committee is now directed to
proceed - close a deal with the Talbot
heirs in the event they are willing to sell
the real estate at the price the association
has offered. 1t is known that the other pro-
visions OF the resolution relating 10 the
vacation of the street and the donation of
the two lots lying Immediately north will
be carried out.
With the real estate to be donated the
property Will be something like 400 feet in
length. 1t has a frontage OF 26 feet on
Sixteenth street, broadening to a width of
29 feet at the rear. 1t is a pretty wooded
spot, and those who have been enthusiastic
in favor of purchasing this ground are de-
lighted with the prospects. Should the
finance committee have no difficulty In
closing the deal it is proposed to begin as
soon as possible with the erection of a
handsome Art Museum. The other site
most strongly favored was Fairbank, the
picturesque summer resort on the bank of
fall creek at Illinois street

car until reaching the hill this side OF
Irvington. In the wagon was a rotary corn
cutter. which was left behind when the
wagon overturned. The team continued
after the overturning Of the wagon, which
turned completely over three times and
then righted itself, relieving the heavy
strain on the horses. They continued run
ming until stopped easily because of their
exhausted condition. The outfit belonged
TO John Deitz, of Irvington, who, after the
disappearance of his property, got on a car
and followed 1t. The wagon with which
the Deitz wagon collided was overturned
and badly damaged. Aside from the ex-
haustion the horses were none the worse
for their long run, and Deitz drove back,
gathered up his corn cutter and went home.

RIVALRY EXISTS
Among the Women Who VIII Take
Part in Bicycle Race.

Probably more rivalry exists among the
riders who will participate I'm the women's
bicycle race to be given at Tomlinson Hall
Christmas week than among any other
class of athletes. Lizzie Claw and Tillie
Anderson nave always been the greatest
rivals since they have been participating
In the same races, and Mile Lisette and
Mollie La Tour, the French riders. are
also great rivals, to say nothing Of the
the others who will be seen in the coming
race In this city. This rivalry will be an
incentive TO cause each girl to DO her
best to win the first prize of the $500 purse
and the international championship. The
race will open Christmas afternoon, and
will continue each evening throughout the
week. two hours each time, twelve hours
