POSTING OF STATE FAIR BILLS.


The State Board of Agriculture has had
trouble i'm the letting of the work of posting
bills for the coming state fair. Members of
the board are bitter against the Billpost
ers Association for the manner i'm which
they have been treated by the Indianapolis
Billposting Company, which belongs to the
association.
For years Secretary Downing has been
employing the Indianapolis Binposting
Company to do greater part of the an
nual work incident to the state fair. Every
year he has given it as much work as it
could attend to here in the city, and the re-
mainder was let to the Empire Billposting
Company. In both cases the prices paid
were the same. Mr. Downing says that the
board always favored the Indianapolis Bill
posting Company because ii was larger and
could do the work better. as IL has organi-
cations all over the State. Heretofore every
thing has been satisfactory TO the two and
the work has been accomplished without
delays.
Again. this year. Mr.. Downing gave the
indianapolis Company at least twO-thrds OF
the posting of the bills. and the rest was
given to the Empire Company. The In
dianapois Company given much
work as IL said IL would be able to do. and
agreements We're made as TO the price and
the manner IN which IL should be done. Sec
rotary Downing sent IL the bills Saturday
night. supposing il would begin posting
them Monday. However. Monday evening
he was called to the telephone and informed
by the Indianapolis Company that IL refused
To do the work, as it understood part of ii
had been let to the Empire Billposting
Company, which does not belong TO the as
ISOLATION. Mr.. Downing informed the man.
ager that the same thing had been done In
previous years. and no objections had been
raised. The company still refused to do the
posting unless IL was given the whole con-
tract, Mr.. Downing told the company to
send the work back, and he has turned Ii
all over to the Empire Billposting Company.

1t is now contended that neither the city
nor the county has any claim to Sycamore
island White river, near Riverside Park.
1t was stated in argument before Judge
McMaster yesterday, on the hearing of a
temporary injunction proceeding brought
by the city to enjoin Sheriff Metzger from
selling the property, that inasmuch as the
island was formed from sediment and refuse
from White river the title is IN the United
States Government. The restraining order,
granted some time ago, was yesterday made
Temporary, pending the hearing of the per-
manent Injunction. The sheriff is prevented
from serving an execution on the property
to satisfy Judgment against Frank Dav-
export, who also claimed title to the island
A mechanics lien for material used in
the construction of the building on the land
was foreclosed by William 3. Lain, who
turned the matter over to the sheriff The
city objected to the sale on the ground that
it had purchased the property.

You are right In calling the electric and
steam railroad companies to strict account
for accidents caused by defective brakes

made daily. and when one begins TO act
badly the car TO which IL belongs should be
sent TO the repair shop before il makes an
other run. The writer lives beyond the belt,
and the car he came i'm on one morning ran
close to the crossing before the brake was
applied. 1t held. fortunately, for just then
a freight engine shot by. That afternoon II

trial before Justice Sheppard yesterday for
disturbing the peace on a complaint made
by Mrs. Hannah Howlet. The evidence
was conflicting and the court will hear the
argument of counsel this morning and rem

On the rear of Green's lot is a small
building, one of the rooms of which Mrs.
Eowlet had rented for the purpose of stor-
ing household effects. One night short
time ago Mrs. Howlet had occasion to visit
the place and was returning to her home

by Green who, she says. threatened to kill
her. Green on the stand stated that he
