THREAT OF 4 STRIKE
COMES FROM BRAZIL
special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL, Ind, Jan. 27.-The coal trade
in this district has been greatly increased
by the intense cold weather. Every mine
in the district is running on full time, but
the operators realize that the cold snap
has caused the increased demand, and they
anticipate very dull season. a prominent
operator said to-day that the demand for
fuel would diminish as soon as the weather
moderated, and that he could see no indi-
cation for a good demand this season. "Of
course" he said much depends on the
settlement secured with the miners"
He is of the opinion that stiff fight will
be made by the operators for a decrease
in the scale of mining for next year and
he realizes that the miners will make
a strong fight against any reduction. A
leading miHer, in discussing the settlement,
gave it as his opinion that the miners
would strike before they would accept a
reduction. There is no denying the fact
that much apprehension is felt over the
outcome of the joint meeting.

AWFUL MYSTERY IS
At LAST CLEARED
Supposed Baby's Head Proves to
Be the Knee Bone of a
Cow.

Last Friday it was reported to the police
that a dog belonging to August Barth on
Clayton avenue had been dragging the
head of a baby, evidently about year old,
around the streets. The report told of how
the dog went to the home of it's master
with the childs head in its mouth, and
how Mrs. Barth took the grewsome find
away from the canine and hid it under a
pile of wood until her husband returned
home from work on Saturday. When Barth
came home from his work he took the head
of the child and threw il into a vault so
his children would not see it. the report
went on TO say, and the police were not
even notified.
As soon as the police heard of the case
they began an investigation and Coroner
Tutewler took personal charge of affairs.
The mystery was solved yesterday after
noon, when the "babys head" was re-
covered from the vault and proved to be
the kneebOne of a COW.

the sidewalks are cleaner of snow than they

that they found the ordinance observed TO Il
degree that was surprising.
