THE RIGHTS OF A CITY.
United states Judge GrOsscup Dee
cides that II City Has the Right
to Regulate the Price of Gas.

Chicago. Jan. l6.-Judge Grosscup,
in the United States court, decided
that the city has the right to regu-
late the price Of gas.
The question came up in the case
wherein the Peoples Gas, Light and
Coke Co., seeks to have the city en-
joined from enforcing its 75-cent gas
ordinance The city demurred and
claimed that even if the facts set
forth in the gas company's petition
were true. the city still had the right
to regulate the price of gas.
Judge Grosscup held that the city
had the right to see that the rate
was "reasonable." but told attorneys
for the gas company that they might
amend their bill so as to protest
against the 7j-cent rate as being too
low. +

Peru, Ind, Jan. 16.-As the result
of a strange hallucination, j. +. Sible,
an old and trusted engineer OF the

Tuesday night. Sible was at the

and shouted to Burt Frick, his fire.

switch is turned; we'll crash into
-" The sentence was not fin-
ished. for in an instant Sible had APP
piled the safety brake, reversed the
lever, and had jumped to escape the
specter his harassed nerves had con-
iured up. The fireman followed, but
was not injured. The train came to
n stop, and Frick went back to find
his engineer. The latter lay on the
roadbed, horribly injured. His skull
had been crushed, an arm and leg
broken, his ribs fractured and his
spine injured. He was carried aboard
the train. Meanwhile, an investiga-
ton showed that there had been no
danger to the train. The signal lights
of the switch showed an unobstruct-
ed path. Sible was brought to a hos
pital here where he managed to gasp
out his story.
According TO Fireman Frick, Sible
has been more or less nervous since
he was in n wreck at Lafayette some
months ago. The passengers were
shaken up by the sudden stopping OF
the train, but none Of them was in
