Antiers, |. T., July 29.-Fireman
William Shelton was killed and Engi-
neer John Harlan so badly injured
that he will probably die in a wreck
of the southbound Frisco Cannonball
Express near here today. A spike
had been driven between the rails on
the high side of a curve and when
the train struck it the engine rolled
down an embankment. followed by
the tender and baggage car. Engi
neer Harlan stuck to his post. His
right eye was destroyed. and arm
broken and he suffered internal injur-
les. The baggageman and express
messenger escaped with severe bru-
ises.
The passenger were badly shaken
up and some received minor injuries
but none was severely hurt. More
than 200 Texans were aboard the
train.
Railroad detectives who are investi-
gazing believe the wreck was caused
by boys who had a desire to see a
fast train stopped.

George Was Zoo Late
To See Baby's Trick

UT was on Sabbath morn, and
George Murgatroyd had just turned
over to sleep again after making
his sixth resolution to get up. But the
cry, fraught with anxiety and trepida-
ton, that came from the room below
banished sleep instantly.
1t was his wife's voice-the dear
girl whom he had taken from a parents
or. rather. two parents'-care.
George! Come quick!'
What could be the matter7
George! Why don't you come?
Come! Gomez
In his frantic haste he had ON his
trousers hind part before and his shirt
was a wreck. but what Of that? Like
a flash it came to him, the tale Of yes
terday, told by his little wife. at which
he had scoffed-a tale of dark
browed man VINO came to read the gas

~ that Maud suspected him of being a

again. Even now, perhaps
George! If you don't come it'll be
too later
What were collar studs now that he
should search for them? With one
bound he overturned the rocking chair
and smashed the water jug; in another
instant he had collided with the open
door of the wardrobe; at the third step
he tripped over his braces and came
down on his elbows and countenance.
Courage, Maudr' he cried. II am
coming
He was only a pale bookkeeper and
unarmed save with natures weapons,
but not for a moment did he falter.
You're too late" said Maud, with
a pretty pout, as George dashed into
the room with a fire in his eye that the
blood on his nose could not dim.
"What-where is he?" he gasped,
looking around with an awful faint
ness at the heart

she in disappointed voice. He had

hundreds Of hours are lost every day
in the city by people who cannot with
stand the temptation of watching 9TH

regarded as one of the most peculiar
psychological traits of the human
mind.

street or man is let down in a man
hole to make repairs, crowd is al

cannot resist the temptation of stop

the most labor is involved in the I'M

pair on buildings is going on, is the
place where the Richmond passerby

for this phenomena.

SHORT HISTORY OF
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Veteran Capt. David Miller has
Kept Interesting Facts
Concerning 1t.
AN ENGINE HOUSE IN 1855
THE FIRST EFFORT TO GET FIRE
PROTECTION WAS AT A MEET
IN 1890.

Captain David A. Miller of No.
Hose House, who is the oldest fireman
in the state, entering the volunteer
department of this city in 1855 and the
pay-department in 1875, gives a very
interesting history of the local fire de-
partment from its establishment in
the Town of Richmond" and up to
the present time.
December, 1880. Job. w. Swain, at
the A. Jefferis tavern, just east of
Pearl, (now Fifth on Main street,
called a body of fifteen men to order
to discuss plan for fire protection. A
volunteer company was formed to man
the old hand engine, "Grindstone,"
which had been purchased the year be-
fore. This engine worked six men
on each side and forced it's water,
which was furnished by buckets,
provision for repairs to the extent
of fifty cents per month.
First House Cost $3.50.
The first engine house was erected
in 1855 on lot No. 5, on South Pearl
street, at a cost of $3.50. This at
different periods was followed by more
improved houses until the recent adj
dition of No. As in the South End.
The first fire bell was purchased
in Cincinnati in 1858 for $685.. In
1861 there were four companies:
Washington, Quaker City Hoo
sier" and Mechanics" On July 16,
1866, the first Hook and LaGVler was
formed, with Simon Bachman as fore
man. A steamer and hose reel was
purchased Dec. 10, 1871.
Began Paying in 1871.
In 1871, the paid department was es-
tablished. From a department that
was composed wholly of volunteer
men, the minute men" service came
next and then for a year a part of the
departments men were paid monthly
salaries, while the remainder of the
force were still on the minute men,
rolls, responding to alarms and draw
ing IS per month. In 1896. the depart
ment became paid throughout
Few cities in Indiana and perhaps in
the west, have as completely furnish
ed and comfortable firemen's homes as
Richmond today.
