HAZARD HAS HISTORIES
HE SHIPPED SOME AWAY.
MAN WHO KEPT ALL HENRY
COUNTY BUSY SHOWS UP AT
NATIONAL CAPITAL WITH LOT
OF BOOKS TO SELL.

Washington, Oct. 14-Sheriff Burr
of Henry county, Indiana, did not get
all of Historian Geo. Hazards books
when he attempted to serve write oil
attachment on them a few days ago
In fact, he missed it by a box full or
more, for Mr.. Hazard turned up in
this city few days ago and had a
bill of Iading for a box of his books
which reached here by freight.
Mr. Hazard has been putting in a
few days calling on Indianians and
trying to sell his history. So far as
is known he has sold books to Col.
w. w. Dudley, Charles f. Sudwarth, of
New Castle, and Court Clements, who
married a daughter of General Grose
in New Castle.
Mr.. Hazard promptly denied the
reports coming from New Castle, that
he had fled the country, or was stay
ing away while the Henry county
grand jury was in session. He says
the he will be back in New Castle
next week, and will be on hand when
the forgery charges against him come
to trial.

SEED CORN HARVEST DAY
OCTOBER 25 Is TIME SET.
Indiana Corn Growers Association
Urges Farmers to Get Their Corn
in Before the Freezing Weather
Comes to Spoil Crop.

The Indiana Corn Growers Associ-
alton at its last annual meeting nam
ed Thursday, October %, as Seed
Corn Harvest Day. The reason for
this action is that much loss comes
through corn allowed TO stand in the
field and which is subjected to the
hard freezes of November and Decem-
ber The Corn Growers Association
believes that if every ear of corn in
tended for next years seed could be
harvested by October %, and proper
ly stored, millions of bushels could be
added to the crop of Indiana. Far
mers are urged To go into their best
fields and select the best ears from
strong vigorous stalks Hang this
corn where every ear will be subject
ed to free circulation of pure air
and where it will be protected during
the winter. Two or three times the
amount of seed actually required for
planting next spring should be Sc
lected in order that more rigid Sc
lection may be made before planting
time. This work cannot be urged
too strongly and farmers should not
fail to act on this warning. The far
mers of Indiana should have def
mite time for this work and should
arrange to do the work at that time

New Castle. Ind, Oct. Ia (SpD-
Something that has heretofore
been unusual, but will be more the
rule in the future, occurred at the Au-
ditor's office the other day when a
representative of the Richmond Gas
Co. paid into the treasury of Henry

sioners to lay a pipe line along the
highway from near Lewisville to con-
Feet with its main line near Millville.
In the past boards have granted fran

money consideration was thought of
or asked But a new order of things
will likely prevail in the future and
the county will not give away any of
its rights.
The Richmond company has al
ready commenced work on the line
and are pushing ii with all possible
vigor They are depending on the
Lewisville field to replenish the sup

ARE MAKING DUST FLY
WORK is MOVING RAPIDLY.
THE ENTIRE CITY SHOWS MARKS
OF THE IMPROVEMENT THE
HOME TELEPHONE COMPANY is
NOW MAKING.

With 125 men and fourteen teams
at work, the Home Telephone COM
pany is making the dust fly in its re-
construction work at various points in
the city. The trench and cement work
will be completed within a week or SO
and the extensive cellar for the new
building on North Ninth street will
be finished tonight and the plot turn
ed over to the contractor to start
building Tuesday. Trench and cement
work is in progress on Elm Place,
South Ninth and on South A between
Eighth and Tenth. A peculiar piece
of telephone construction will be that
of crossing the river. The conduits
will run out of one bank from which
point the work will be aereal to the OPP
posite bank where they will again en-
ter the ground. The laying of the
conduits at the foot of North A street
and the river was probably the hard
est task of all. Blasting had to be
resorted to as a means of getting ten
feet through solid rock below surface,
and for the past day or SO the air
at that place has been full of rocks
and Clipped stone.

That playing poker with his social

against him by County Superintend-
ent Hamilton, who had revoked his

The charges were made against
Fendig following raid by the police
on a poker room in which Fendig
declared that on the night in ques-

but had gone to the room to warn
friend that a raid was to be made.
He had not left before the officers
arrived.
On cross examination by Superin-

he had played at Rosenbaum that
he had lost as much as s25 at one

as 3 O'Clock in the morning.

Paris Oct 15-The first real riot
Gus demonstration in France since the
riots of May 1, last, took place at the
! Long Champs race course Sunday, and
four hours, between the authorities
and mob of frantic people, and more
than one hundred persons were in
jured, several fatally.
In the third race one of the best
of the selling platers of the French
turf was down to meet several cheap
animals, and the crowd made him an
overwhelming favorite in the betting
in the mutuals. 1t was felt that he
could not be beaten, and seldom has
horse been plunged on in the man.
ner this one was this year. At the
start his jockey took him back, al
though he was buck-jumping and fight
ing for his head, and sent him upon
the rail Before he could get through,
however, two of the other horses in
the race, well piloted by clever jock
eys, ranged on each side of the favor
ite and he was soon successfully poe
keted. He was not able to get through
until well near the finish line, when
he came with a great rush, but just
failed to get up. Most of the crowd
thought that the favorite won, and
when an outsider was posted as the
actual purse gatherer, the crowd went
crazy.

They invaded the course, tore down
the judges stand, and were it not
for the fact that the police acted very
promptly and surrounded the officials
it is likely that some one would have
been killed One man knocked down
the jockey on the favorite and kicked
him in the head, badly injUring him.
The infuriated mob then charged
upon the paddock and enclosure and
tore them down breaking everything
they could. While they were doing
this a gang of the famous '.gueril-
las of Paris who congregate at the
track made an assault on the place
where the mutuals are sold and al
though the men in charge tried in
every way to protect their money
they failed and the crowd succeeded
in getting away with 100000.
Firemen Turned Hose on Crowd.
The police on duty could do moth
ing to check the mob and they called
upon the firemen to aid them. Al
though the latter sent several
of water into the faces of
the rioters they were useless and
finally the mounted police, who had
bpen hl1rriedly summoned arrived
and charged the crowd.
Sixty arrests were made and the
race meeting had to be abandoned.
