A very serious accident occurred
here Friday morning. One Of Tosset-
it's brewery wagon horses became
! frightened at a big truck automobile
| belonging to the Whiting Foundry &
Equipment company of Harvey, Ill.
The team did not seem frightened un-
til it had gotten up to the truck, whom
! they wheeled around, upsetting the
wagon. The driver had his leg brok
en- and sustained several other injur-
les. Two little boys, sons of the agent
! Of the brewery, Mr. Quasher. were
riding around with the driver, and one
was injured very seriously, one of the
barrels falling on him, breaking his

taken care OF by DR.. Ross. The last

The football game between Whiting
and East Chicago finished up in a
dispute. The first half of the game
was without results. The second half
ended in a contention as to whether
McShane's goal from field was prep
erly made, East Chicago claiming that
it was. and Whiting taking the mega
tive side OF the question. The referee
decided in favor of East Chicago, max
| ing the score to 0. Neither team
took advantage of the new style of
play, which was probably responsible
| for the low score. The addition OF
McShane to the Trio team is a splendid
choice, as his brilliant playing yes
| terday afternoon was most noticeable
and was commented on by the onlook-
ers. Several games have now been
played and much improvement is
| shown each time.
