MAN THAT SHOT POLICE
PENSION FUND BOARD OFFERS $40
FOR HIS ARREST.
Captain HyIand Says the Burglar
Used n "Vest Pocket" Revolt
ver-No CIeyv to Him.

Capt. Martin Hyland was in Police Court
yesterday morning Notwithstanding his be-
ing wounded a few hours before by a
burglars bullet. His escape from death or
more serious injury was remarkable. and
was due. it is thought, to the kind of
weapon used by the burglar. which was.
according to Captain Hyland's idea. a vest
pocket revolver of thirty-two caliber. Capt.
Hyland was surprised at the %quickness with
which the burglar began firing. He saw no
revolver in the burglars hands. The kind
of revolvers alluded to are those small
enough to be concealed in the hand. They
are good for close fighting, but nave no
great force or carrying power.
The police yesterday were unable TO get
any trace of the man. Captain Hyland
said he was positive he had shot the man
but the only thing which was found 10 con-
firm the statement was a bloody bullet
found on Virginia avenue. Spots OF blood
were found on the sidewalk west of the
Marion Trust Company building and run
ming as far as the gate leading to the water
company's office, but inability 10 trace the
blood further leads TO the belief that some
person had nose bleeding there. 1t was
also reported that there was a pool of blood
upon the walk around the StatehouSe, but
examination of that walk failed TO show
any blood spots. One OF the bullets of the
fusillade passed through a window Of the
Pembroke arcade on the Virginia-avenue
side and another through the glass in the
front OF the G.. A. Archibald store on Wash
ington street. One man reported to the
police that shortly after the shooting he
saw a man running south on Virginia ave-
nue. and thence stwar to the Century
building at Maryland and Pennsylvania
streets, which he entered. He said he fol-
lowed the man to the building, but con-
cluded from the manner in which he entered
the building that he had business there,
and paid no further attention to the mat
ter.
The police are using every effort to ap-
prehend the burglar. but the lack of a posi-
tive description makes the work nard and
success improbable. The police pension fund
board met last night and offered a reward
of 800 for the arrest and conviction of the
assailant of Captain Hyland and Benjamin
A. Bell, the Merchant policeman, or for
any information leading TO the arrest. The
reward is not payable to a policeman. 1t
is said an effort will be made TO have the
Board of Safety offer an additional reward.
The escape of the burglar is due to the
unfortunate fact that Captain Hyland left
headquarters with only one round of cart
ridges. An order will be issued requiring
patrolmen TO carry at least one extra round.
Captain Hyland was not so badly injured
that he could not have pursued the man
after he was shot, but it was useless when
lie had no ammunition, and he stopped to
look after Bell. The wound in Bells head is
not dangerous and he was at work again
last night.

BREEDERS Oh ,IEREFORDS.
An Indiana Association Formed at
Statehouse Meeting.

About one hundred breeders and dealers
in Hereford cattle met yesterday in the
rooms of the State Board of Agriculture in
the Statehouse and organized the Indiana
Hereford Breeders Association. The meet
ing began yesterday morning and continued
until late yesterday afternoon. The officers
of the new organization are:
President-Clem Graves, Bunker Hill.
Vice Presidents. L. Studebaker, War
rem.
Secretary and Treasurer-C E. Amsden,
S~helbyviIle.
Board of Directors-CIem Graves. Bunker
Hill; F. L. Studebaker, Warren; Frank
Knaves. Attica: Walter Hadley, Danville,
and II. 5. Watson, Edirburg.
One of the members yesterday said that
for a long time it has been suggested by
breeders and dealers in Hereford cattle
that an organization was necessary TO pro-
mote and further the interests of this par
ticular breed of cattle. II was said the
Shorthorn breeders have a strong organiza-
ton and have done much for the breeders
of that kind OF stock. The Hereford cat
tie nave a strong national organization. it
is said. but Indiana, as a State. where some
of the best Hereford cattle are raised. has
been without an organization. It was
thought by some of the leaders In Hereford
breeding that if a State organization was
perfected it would interest many of the
younger breeders who are now coming TO
the front In raising Hereford cattle. One
other reason for the organization is TO
raise a large sum of money which will be
used as a premium fund at the State and
county fairs. IL is said.
There were present at the meeting Mr..
Van Alta. president. and Mr.. knaves, sec
rotary OF the National Hereford Associa-
ton. Col. David Wallace. a member of the
Ctafn pnarH nf AurfgfalfBrn nauF the g1oca
of the meeting, asked the national officers
IL the national association would raise its
premium for the State fair from 5000 TO
$500. and if the Indiana Hereford Associa-
tion should raise a large sum of money this
year 10 look after the Hereford exhibit at
the different fairs what backing could the
association rely on from the national 2SSo-
citation in future years? To this the ma
tional officers ventured no answer, except

AN IRVlNGTON CONTRACT
1T WAS GRANTED AFTER THE SUB
URB WAS ANNEXED.
Controller Has Asked City Attorney
About It-Debts of I~rvington
SUM by the City.

AS the result of an alleged irregular ac-
ton of the board that ruled Irvington
when Irvington was a town City Attorney
Joss has been asked by City Controller
Breunig TO straighten out a legal tangle,
and in the meantime the controller is hold
ing up a contract of some Importance let
by the board for street improvements in
the suburb. The whole matter grows out
Of the annexation of Irvington.
The former town clerk of Irvington sub
mitted TO the controller yesterday a state
ment of the contracts made by the town,
which it was presumed that the city would
assume. Controller Breunig, running over
the document with a careful eye, noticed,
he says, that one of the contracts, involving
a good-sized sum of money, was made by
the Town Board after the Council had
passed the Irving annexation ordinance
and after the mayor had signed the in
strument. He decided in his own mind at
once that the award Of the contract by the
Town Board was invalid and that the city
of Indianapolis had no right to assume
the obligation. Mr.. Breunig called Mr..
Joss and his assistant, Mr.. Hay, by tele-
phone to get an oral opinion on the matter
and, being unable to get hold of them, sent
a written request.
The contract in question which the con-
troller believes the Town Board had no
right to grant gives to John Moore the
job of constructing brick crossings on Rit-
ter avenue, Layman avenue. Emerson ave-
nue., Burgess avenue and the first alley
north of Washington street at Layman
street. other contracts made with Con-
tractor Moore by the board are for cement
walks on Butler and Downey avenues for
grading and graveling the first alley south
of Washington street, between Washing
ton street and Lowell avenue, running east
from Layman avenue; for constructing a
sewer in Coleman street and Julian avenue,
commencing at the intersection of Wash
ington street and Coleman avenue, and
ending at the intersection of Julian avenue
and Butler avenue.
troller a statement of the amount of the
bonded debt of Irvington, which is assumed
by the city. Five bonds for 1000 apiece
are due on the 1st day of August, from
1902 to 1906 .inclusive; these bonds bear in
terest at 6 per cent. Three for $500 apiece
are due on the 1st day of August, 1902 TO
1904. inclusive; interest, 5 per cent; seven
are for $500 apiece, the first two being due
Sept. 1, 1907. the second two, Sept. /, 1908,
and the next three, Sept. 1, 1903: interest
at 1865 per cent. Eight are for 81, 600 apiece,
from Aug. /, 1910, TO Aug. /, 1917, inclusive;
interest at a per cent. The entire bonded
debt is 49, 600. There is no floating indebt-
sdness and no temporary debt.
A list of the belongings of the board
room was also furnished the controller.

SEARCH FOR A CHILD
1T WAS KIDNAPPED BY ITS FATHER
AT FRANKFORT.
The Mother, Mrs. Josie Murphy, Came
Here and Recovered the Child
with Help of Police.

The city marshal Of Frankfort came here
yesterday with a warrant for the arrest of
Frank Murphy. who is charged with kid
mapping his own daughter, who was by de-
cree of court given into the custody of Mrs.
Josie Murphy, divorced. Murphy is said
to nave been employed at the plant of the
Home Heating and Lighting Company.
He went to Frankfort Monday and asked
permission of his former wife to see their
slx-year-old daughter Dovita, and later to
take her to the home of Mrs. Murphy's
sister in Frankfort. About an hour after
the permission was granted Mrs. Murphy
became alarmed and upon Investigation
found that neither Murphy nor the child
had been at her sisters home. After re-
porting the matter to the Frankfort police,
who searched the city, she swore out a war
rant. 1t was thought Murphy had taken
the child to Indianapolis.
Detectives Colbert and Hauser were de-
tailed on the case, and after some trouble
they learned that Murphy had been at his
sisters, at 1105 Olive street. They went
there. and the sister, Mrs. Nixon, refused
TO admit them. She denied that Murphy
had been there. that the child had been
there, and only after seeing the warrant
consented to the detectives searching the
house. After they had looked about the
lower part of the house she told them the
child was in a room on the second floor.
She was found there lying on a coach. and
was taken away by Mrs. Murphy who,
with her mother, had accompanied the de-
t~ectives. No further effort was made 10
find Murphy, and it is said the case will not
be pushed.

County Circuit Court a little more than a
year ago. Mrs. Murphy belongs to a prom
