But a certain rich man named Isaac
Creamer had made a discovery about
the franchise Of the Capital Cities road

too elaborate for complete statement

stock. A clear majority Of It was held
by towns and little cities along the
route OF the road. The political manip-

buy had been a notable feature Of the

W. H. Hudson, who resides at 1t2 Madison avenue. had a narrow escape from death about o'clock yesterday afternoon, on South Lawrence street. just off Dexter ~aHeHue. He was knocked down by an Automobile, driven by Jacob Pepperman, and fell directly in front of a street car. Had it not been stopped quickly, he must have been run over. s
 Mr. Pepperman had stopped at the Lawrence street entrance to the post office with his machine, on his way home, going out Lawrence street. He had just started up again when MT. Hudson came running across the street, striving to cross ip front of an ap- preaching street car
