STREET CAR RUNS INTOr
DELIVERY WAGON
Smashing Itself and the Vehicle and
spilling a Lot of Flour.-Accident
Was Unavoidable.

A street car ran into one of the Ruhl.
Koblcgard company's delivery wagons at
the water tank at Adamston at Has
o'clock Thursday morning. The wagon
was smashed up and lot of flour was
spit. The end Of the street car was also
50 badly smashed that it could not be
used and had to be taken to the car
barn for repairs. The damage sustained
by the street ear company was probably
greater than that to the wagon and flour.
The driver of the wagon, Harry McClung,
it seems, drove across the track with the
car at such short distance that it could
not be stopped. The passengers and those
who witnessed the accident say it was
impossible for the motorman to avoid it,
and, if there is any blame, it should be
attached to the driver of the wagon.

CONSTABLE
STRANGLES
PRISONER
W. W. TRUSSLER MAKES A SUDDEN
BREAK FOR LIBERTY IN MAGIs-
TRATE GoRDoN's COURT.
Constable Merritt Jumps on Fleeing Man
and Has to Practically Strangle Him
to Make Him Stay and Face
His Fine.

A rather unusual and, for the time,
intensely exciting incident occurred in
Magistrate s. W. Gordon's court late
Wednesday afternoon, and W. Guy Mer-
rit, the constable, had to partially stran.
gle prisoner who tried to dodge out of
the court.
a day or SO ago Truant Officer Andrew
Lyons swore out a warrant against w.
w. Trussler, Of Glen Elk, charging him
with violating the compulsory school
lawby not sending his son, George Truss.
Ter, to the public schools. The warrant
was placed in the hands of Constable
Merritt and Wednesday aftcrnon Truss.
Ter was arrested by him in Glen Elk and
taken before the magistrate for hear.
ing.
The magistrate, after hearing the case,
fould Trussler guilty and fined him 81
and costs. While the magistrate was
writing in his docket book, and the of.
ficers and witnesses were seated around
the room at the conclusion of the case.
Irussler suddenly made 4 break for lib.
erty. lie started out towards the door
on a run. Constable Merritt was after
him like bow from an arrow. The of.
licer made jump, grabbed the fleeing
prisoner by the throat and after slight
struggle, forced him down in seat.
Merritt had to partially stranglc the
man before he could make him sit down.
Finally, after the excitement had sub.
sided somewhat, the magistrate asked
Trussler if he could pay his fine. He
said he could not, and asked that his
wife be sent for. Somebody went after
Mrs. Trussler and shortly afterwards she
appeared in the court. She was in a rage
when she entered the court room. and
started to give Magistrate Gordon
good, all-round calling down. She had
gotten only a few words out of her
mouth when the magistrate shut he:
UP like clam by very stcrnly inform.
ing her that she was in court where
such conduct was not permissible and
that if she didn't shut up and behave
herself, he would have her thrown in
jail for contempt.
The case was finally settled by Mrs.
Trnssler paving her husbands fine OF
50 and the costs, and both Mr.. and Mrs.
Trussler were allowed to depart from
the temple of justice.

ORCHESTRA
Members Say They Were Not Engaged
to Play for Hanging of the Crane"
and That Women's Auxiliary Do
Them Great Injustice.

The members of the Opera House or
chestra say that a great injustice was
done them either by the members of the
Womens Auxiliary of the Young Mems
Christian association, or those who had
the home talent entertainment of the
Hanging Of the Crane" under manage
ment, regarding their non-appcarance at
the opera house Tuesday evening TO play
for the entertainment. They say that
they had never been asked by anybody
to play for the entertainment, and for
that reason alone they did not show up.
Some three weeks ago one of the mem
bcrs of the Auxiliary asked the members
ii they would play for the entertainment.
Theyreplicd that they were perfectly will.
ing to do so. The member then told
them that they would be informed later
when they would be wanted. They
would be wanted for ono nights rehearsal
and for the evening OF the entertainment,
they were told. That was the last thing
they ever heard of the matter, no one
having Informed them that their services
would be wanted.

Those who gathered around the burn

The building was a tlTec-story frame,

with will and soon demonstrated their
ability as fire fighters. The origin Of
this blaze was also unknown. The build.
