D. G. REID
In THE City
BESIEGED BY HIS HOSTS OF
FRIENDS WHO ARE GLAD
TO SEE HIM
A PICTURE OF HEALTH
Will Go to French Lick Tomorrow
Still the Same Genial "Dan.'
A PICTURE OF HEALTH

By being a millionaire twenty-five
times over does not change D. G..
Reid. His friends here in Richmond
know him and greet him with the
familiar term "Dan."
Since his arrival in the city Satur-
day he has been the most sought af-
ter man in town, and this is Mr..
Reid's own fault. He knows nearly
every one in the city. and he address,
es his old friends and associates, as
"Jim," "Bil,' ED" "Jack,"
etc, terms that bring one close to
him and make one feel that he is
personally interested in every man,
woman and child in the community
and we believe that he is.
His purpose in coming here at this
time was to take up the matters per-
tanning to the closing of the contract
for the United Presbyterian church
and other details incident to the
erection of the church to the memory
of his mother.
This morning the first ground was
broken for the new church. A force
of men was out with plows getting the
ground into shape for the digging of
the cellar, and, in a few days, the
digging will be commenced.
Mr.. Reid's seal of appreciation only
was needed before the church could
be started, and he approved the plans.
Louck & Hill have charge of the
work and will rush the building to
completion. In a few weeks, or as
soon as the cellar is dug, the work Of
the erecting the church above ground
will be started.
Mr.. and Mrs Reid are the guests
of Mr.. and Mrs. John B. Dougan, of
north tenth street.

TO BRING SUIT SOON

The stockholders of the Indianapo-

a failing out' and at the recent
meeting the majority withdrew to
hold a meeting ON May 18th. The mi

and three directors. The stockhold-
ers refuse to explain the trouble fur
ther than to say that the present Off
GERS notably President Fauvre, were
legally elected.
President Fauvre refuses fatty to
talk and a majority member says that
| the contention is a small matter and
the minority only represents 2 per
cent of the capital stock. The bone
Of contention is not clearly under
stood by many stockholders save that
Fauvre is the rock on which the stock
holders split and it is believed that
| the split was brought about on ac-
count of personal enmity to Fauvre
Nothing will be done until the major
ity members hold their meeting on the
18th but it is probable that the diff
ferences will be adjusted and the
storm blow over and the majority and
minority come together again.

Saturday evening the neighborhood
Of $40 north tenth street, was aroused
by the spreading of the word that
Mrs. Eliza Higgs, aged 70 years had
taken her life by hanging herself to a
rafter in the cellar. Investigation
soon proved the rumor correct. The
facts in the case are these:
Mrs. Eliza Higgs lived with her
son, Edward J. Higgs, at 910 north
tenth street. She is the widow of
Robert Higgs. Saturday afternoon
she and her daughter-in-law and
granddaughter were upstairs taking a
"nap.' The old lady awakened be-
fore the others and stealthily walked
down stairs and into the cellar. It
was now about 3 p. m. She looked
about. secured a clothes line. fasten-
ed it about her neck and then to
nail in a rafter, stood upon a tub and
when all was in readiness jumped off.
The rope tightened about her neck
very securely and it was not long be-
fore she was cholzed to death.
Shortly after Mrs. Edward Higgs
awakened and missing the old lady,
hastened to see where she had gone
She didn't find her down stairs and
supposed she had gone to the grocery

BICYCLE TAuGLE
Being UNRAVELED
HECK AND KELLEY BOUND
OVER TO COURT IN
IN SUMS OF 500 EACH
The Latter Stole Wheel From the
Baxter School House Wheels
Taken Up.

The city police force is now run
ming bicycle store in the city build
ing. 1t had every resemblance to a
bicycle repair shop this morning.
Bicycle stealing has been quite a
business Of late, it seems, from the
number of wheels recovered by the
police in the last week.
George Heck, who was arrested on
Friday, charged with stealing wheels
was in mayors court this morning
and was bound over to circuit court
in the sum Of 800.
George Kelley, the boy who told
the wonderful story of his being kid
naped and taken to Cincinnati, was
arrested and charged with stealing a
wheel from the Baxter school on the
west side, the property Of Mr.. True
blood. He also had a hearing this
morning and was bound over to court
in the sum of 800.
Several young fellows were brought
in by the police this morning who had
either bought, sold or bartered for
wheels with Heck, the boy whose
business is complicated, but in a fair
way to be unraveled by the police.
Parties who had their wheels stolen
were there this morning trying to To-
cate their missing property.
Young Kelley told story last week
when he returned to the city about
his having been kidnapped and taken
to Cincinnati and of his sensational
escape. The truth is he did not go
to Cincinnati at all, but stole the
Trueblood wheel and rode it to Bos-
ton where he sold it to a farmer for
$3.50, and after he thought he had
stayed away long enough to make his
story sound good, returned home. One
of the police went to Boston and
brought the wheel back and it is now
at the city building.

A little later on, the granddaughter,

some purpose and to her great as

She ran upstairs to inform her moth
er Of her strange find. The mother:
was beside herself for a time with ex-
citement and spread the alarm. Cor
oner Markley was at once notified and
he was soon on hand. He had the re-
mains cut down and taken up stairs
when an examination was had. His
verdict will be:
Suicide by hanging, caused by
mental arrangement.
Mrs. Higgs has of late been des-
pondent, being in i'll health for some
time, and she brooded over her illness
until it produced mental derange-
ment.
About five years ago she made an
attempt to take her life by cutting
her throat with razor. The wound
was sewed up and healed since which
time until recently she seemed to be
in pretty good spirits.
