HILE WAS A BAD TACKLE
So He Was Found by . Man Who Thought
He Was Somewhat Husky
Himself

Anderson, Ind, Aug. 6.-There was
a desperate fight in the hot mills of
the tinplate mills. William Rogers,
known as the Dude" is a leading
roller. He put H. b. Hile, of Indi-
annapolis, on as sub" and criticised
his work. This provoked a quarrel,
and Rogers, powerful man, sprang
at Hile, clutching him by the throat
Despite his great strength, Hile
proved the more powerful man Of the
two, and tearing loose from Rogers he
bore him back until his bare shoulders
touched the hot rolls and the flesh
began to sizzle. Rogers screamed with
pain. Then the tortured man was
picked up and flung on the shearing
table, and Hile was pushing Rogers
head into the big shears, with the evil
dent purpose Of beheading him, when
the power was shut of.

into a miniature twister which tore
through the Worlds fair grounds, kill
ing one man, probably fatally injuring
another, and seriously injuring seven
others, besides causing damage to
Worlds fair buildings and other prop

and within a short time it became nee
essary to resort to artificial lights in
the stores. Soon after the storm broke
with the force of gale. In the city
pedestrians hurried to shelter and the
wind swept through the streets caus-
ing little damage outside of broken
windows here and there, the falling OF
a few street signs, and leyelling of
shade trees.

At tie Worlds fair grounds thewind
swept from the southeast to the north
west in a miniature cyclone, revolving

stood in its path, and six laborers
working on scaffolding were hurled to
the ground and nine sets of trusses
and timbers were raZed. Theodore
Richter, a florist from KirkwOod, a
suburb, was ON the ground running to
shelter when a flying plank struck
him, killing him instantly. The wind
next struck the machinery building,

at least 100000 were thus sold in
his city alone. Mail matter which had
to be handled in the office constantly
through the window Postmaster Hub
bard's system provides for the issuance
by the third assistant postmaster gen.
eral of the certificates fer stamps of
denomination from 2 20 90 cents, which
would make up all combinations under
81. Received by stamp order houses
from customers these certificates could
be sorted and exchanged at the post
offices for stamps, If desired; other

indianapolis, Aug 6.-When the peo-
pie of this city got up in the morning
they found the town flooded with print
ed circulars under the caption: The
Negro in Indianapolis" The circular
refers to the influx of negroes here
and in other Indiana cities, and calls
upon the whites to keep the negroes
subordinate to themselves. 1t repro
duces an editorial from the New Or
leans Times emocrat of Oct. 10, 1902,
which treats of the race situation in
indianapolis, and asserts that if decent
white people want to continue to live
In peace and security in this city they
must unite an eliminating the negro
as a political factor.
Argument Of the Circular.
The circular says: Ito speak frank
ly, indianapolis is suffering from an
experiment that has been tried many
times in history and never once with
success. Wherever the Caucasian and
the African have been required to live
together the lower has always been
subordinated to the higher type; the
negro has been required to live as the
white man would permit him to live
From ancient Cairo to modern Indi-
annapolis the results of the experiment
have been unerring. The black race
is today subordinated to the white race
in, Afr.aa in tho horn states
of the American Union, and wherever,
indeed, the two races, in large num-
bers, come in intimate contact with
one another"
