PLUCKY wOMAN'S FIGHT.
Mrs. Mary Doctor Too Much for Gas
COmpany's Superintendent.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. 1S.-A fight be-
tween Mrs. Mary Doctor, wife of Frank
Doctor who lives north of Anderson about
six miles, and the superintendent of field
extension of the indianapolis Gas Company,
John Patterson, in which Patterson was
worsted is the talk of the county to-day.
Patterson was pushing the pipe line to An
derson and his gang of men undertook to
cross the little farm of Mrs. Doctor.
Her permission has not been granted.
and when "A wagon drove up to her farm
and the men undertook to unload the ma
terial she walked up with a big cudgel and
said that the first man who trespassed on
her property would be feled. In vain the
men argued that she would be paid.
Patterson. becoming angered at the wo-
mans position, seized an ak and started
to cut down "A post. The first stroke of the
ak by Patterson brought from Mrs. Doctor
a blow from her club that felled him.
Patterson began again, but again Mrs. Doc
tor met him, this time with her fist,
which was planted squarely on the nose.
The presence of Mrs. Doctors husband
prevented other men interfering. Mrs. Doc
tor stood her ground for more than an
hour and finally compelled Patterson and
his workmen to abandon the attempt.

TERRE HAUTE EXCITED.
New Building Taking Up Too Much of
Main-Street Sidewalk.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Aug. 1S.-The re-
fusal of the men in authority in the new
United States Trust Company, the city adj
ministration or anyone else to stop the
work of construction of the company's fine
building, although the local press and
Main-street business men are bitterly pro-
testing against the encroachment on three
feet of the sidewalk, has stirred up a lot
of excitement here Mayor Steeg says 1t
isn't worth talking about. His party paper.
the Gazette, says it is an act that breeds
mob violence by creating disregard for law.
john z. Lamb, the attorney of the trust
company, and regarded the power be-
hind the city administration, is quoted as
saying that he supposed it was ''all under
stood that the trust company was to APP
propriate part of the sidewalk He and
Mayor Steeg say that other people violate
the law i'm the same way. The mayor also
saws that he has no authority to stop the
violation because his city attorney tells him
that it is a State case and one in which the
prosecuting attorney must take the
initiatory step.
While there is much talk of an injunction,
none is likely to be asked for because no
one in Terre Haute is willing to assume the
aggressive part in such proceeding.
