Coal contracts for the ensuing year
have been closed by the board of pub

was used at S215 per ton. but this year

but little effect on the dealers. The

The remarkable escape of Mr.. and

automobile accident that occurred
three miles northwest on the Will

being discussed throughout the city.
RI. Irwin, manager of a garage in
Indianapolis, and who sold Mr. Gotsch-

visiting the scene of the accident Fri
day and lie admitted that there was
not enough left of the machine TO
ever repair it. and in fact said that the
only value he would place on it would
be about four cents pound for junk.
He marveled at the escape of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gotschall and said he did not see

Local autoists state that the Will

A WHISTLER STUKT
Tho Eagle That Was Made, to Pose as
Fighting Cock.

Apcopos of something Whistler once
told cockfght story so wildly that
only man with a sailor instinct could
tell it as well, mimic it SO keenly and
enjoy 1t SO thoroughly. 1t was a story
of a strange species of the American
cock, pictured to the smallest detail SO
beautifully that one forgot that it was
a story.
Some American sailors were at a
cockfight in a seaport town in Eng
land when one of them remarked to
the owner of the champion:
I'VE have got an American cock on
board that can whip any bird here

"Chuck i'm in and see. IL e ticks one
bird we ave plenty more to throw in
that can lick hany blawsted Hameri-

All right. Well bring one" said the
sailors. When they got aboard they
rugged up an American eagle. After
their own manner. they painted. trim
med, spliced and reefed fore and aft,
transforming the eagle to a cock When
ready they went ashore to pit their
new American gamecock against all
England.
At the pit the sailors chucked in
their cock. which looked around for
other surprises as he backed close to
the wall
Now, bring on your birds" yelled
the sailors. A strutting cock was
thrown into the pit and was another
surprise to the poor dismantled eagle
He backed up closer and closer to the
wall, wondering what would happen
next. The cock walked three times
majestically around the circle. cutting
at his strange opponent, the eagle pitt

around and above him for an explana-

Pitts had a narrow escape Friday aft
ernoon from serious injuries in a run

badly bruised. as it was, and Mrs. Nix
on is unable to leave her home. The
accident occurred on South c street,
near the Geier market and resulted
from the antics of several small boys

While Mrs. Nixon and Miss Pitts
were driving along the boys, grabbed a
small white dog and began to tease it.
Finally one of the boysstossed the dog
J in the air directly in front of the
horse. The frightened animal made a
sharp turn, breaking the shafts, over
turning the phaeton, and throwing its
occupants to the street
The animal then bolted down the
street. but after going short distance
its legs became entangled in the bro
ken harness, and it fell. Some men
grabbed the horse before<it could rise
to its feet and continue its mad career.

renee. The case began this morning
at 10 O'Clock and was not concluded
until about o'clock this afternoon.
A large number of witnesses testified,
including the defendant In an effort
TO belittle the statements of his wife.
Lawrence proved an excellent witness
for her and il was largely on his testi-
mony that she was granted a divorce
The Lawrences were married in 1908
in Connersviile after short wooing
Mrs. Lawrence admitted that she had
been engaged to Lawrence only two
days before they were married At
that time she was only il years OF
age and she married Lawrence without
the consent of her father. She did
not realize that she was illegally mar
ried until two or three months later.
