LAPORTE, Ind, Sept. ia running duel
with revolvers between Lake Shore Detec-
tive Heinse, Of Chicago, and a negro who
attempted to steal ride on Lake Shore ex-
press train No. 81, west-bound, was the
thrilling sight witnessed by the passengers
on that train this morning.
The negro had been ordered from the
train, but refused to go. At the point of a
revolver Detective Helms compelled the col
ored man to jump from the moving train
but the negro at the same time pulled a
gun and was about to fire on the officer
when Heinse leveled his pistol at the other
and pulled the trigger. His aim was bad
the bullet going wide of the mark, but
the negro returned the fire and
then followed an exchange of shots as the
colored man ran for cover with the detec-
tive i'm pursuit. United States Express
Messengers Sill Jestrom, Hay and Donohue
came to the assistance of the detective and
discharged their revolvers at the fleeing ne
gro, but so far known shots took
effect, for the man made good his escape.

NEW YORK. Sept. 15.-Despite the lib
eral expenditures of money by the board
of estimate and apportionment, and the
determination on the part of the Board of
Education that a place should be found

BULLET WAS HIS ANSWER.


While walking into the front yard of his
home at 1917 College avenue early this
morning, l.. Fouts noticed the figure of a
man crouched behind a clump of bushes
on the lawn He called to the man and
asked him what he was doing there and
for answer he was shot at. The man
behind the bushes had evidently been
planning to rob the house, and on seeing
that his plans had been frustrated, shot
at Mr.. Fouts. His aim was poor, however,
and the bullet went wide of its mark. The
bicycle police were sent out on the case,
but failed to locate the man behind the
gun.

The danger OF war between the
United States and the powers Of Europe,
or any ono of th-m, is very remote, for
the reason thst this country is the great
food producing section of the world and
any stoppage of the exports from this
country would put the old world on
the verge of starvation in six months
time. The statement made recently by
Poultney Bigelow before New York
audience that Germany alone could
whip the United States is nothing but
the vain boasting Of sap head. a pipe
dream OF perverted brain. There is
not the least doubt but that il the young
German emperor thought that such u
thing vas possible he would try it on,
and there would be NO delay in the
matter. But there is little danger that
he will ever try 1t.

BUILDING AT VALDOSTA.
Among the New Structures Will be
j. n. Bray's Home.

Valdosta, Ca, March 3.-It is an
nounced here to-day that Mr.. j. N.
Bray, the saw mill man of Cecil, has
purchased land in this city for a fine
residence, The land consists of eight
ordinary building lots, or an entire city
block, on North Patterson street. In
the center of that lot. MIR. Bray will
erect a handsome brick home at a cost
of $4,000, which will be the handsomest
residence structure in this section. 1t
is said that Mr.. Bray made $4,000 on
his mill last year, and that most of his
profits are to go into a home for his
family. He has also made some other
large investments in this city.
Quite a good deal of building is to go
on here in the near future. Among the
new. structures is to be a three-story
building on the corner of Hill avenue
and Patterson street, the third floor of
which is to be used for lodge room for
the Red Men. 1t is understood that
the lodge has already contracted for
the rooms and that the new building
is to be erected principally to accom-
modate them.
News was received here this morning
from Cowart's still of the accidental
shooting of a young white man named
Dam WelHeTlHSIOn, Il son OF MT. A. "A.
Wetherington. Young Wetherington
had a pistol in his pocket and was do
ing some carpenter work, when the
weapon was discharged, the bullet
passing through his body within an
inch or two of his heart. The young
man was living at last account.
Physicians will probably undertake
a very delicate operation on George
Hendricks, the young man whose leg
was broken in a runaway scrape here
some time ago. A bone protruded from
the skin where the limb was broken,
and it was necessary to take out part
of the bone. 1t is believed that bone
from a rabbit can be grated in the
place, so that the limb will regain it's
strength, and the physicians who are
waiting on the young man will proba-
bly, try it this week. The operation
would be very delicate one, though
the patient will hardly have any use of
his limb unless something of the sort
is accomplished.
