AN UNGRATEFUL BOARDER
AT LEAST 1T LOOKS so
William Pippin Arrested at HamiI-
ton on the Charge of Having Stolen
Watch from Fred Brown While
He Boarded at His House.

William Pippin occupies a cell at
the city prison, awaiting a trial on a
charge of larceny. Pippin was ar
rested at Hamilton, o., on orders from
the local police department, and
brought back to Richmond by Patrol
man Edwards Pippin is suspected of
the theft of a watch from Fred Brown
resident of Hunt street, at whose
house he boarded until about week
ago. Immediately upon the disap-
pearance of Pippin from the city
Brown missed his time piece, and at
once came to the conclusion that his
former boarder had stolen it. He at
once notified the police, who in some
way learned that the man was in the
Ohio city, and at once wired for his
arrest. Pippin protests that he is
innocent. He will be given hearing
in the city court tomorrow morning.

RUTHERFORD IN MEXICO

Former Young Ticket Agent at the
Local Traction Station Writes to
Friends Here-Had Been Reported
He Was Lost.

Eugene Rutherford. who left two
weeks ago for the west, has written
his friends at the traction station at
which point he was ticket agent for
several months, that he is now in
Sonora, Tex, where he is connected
with dental establishment. Ruther-
ford is taking up the study of dentist
ny and an unusually good position was
open for him at that point. In his let
ter he stated that he had missed Mrs.
Ffske and her family in st. Louis
when he went for strole about the
city and had gone from that point
to Ell Paso, Tex, thence to old Mex
leo.
Accompanying his letter he sent
large and gaudy poster from Sonora.
advertising a bull fight which was
held at that place last night. Ruth
erford attended.
A report was current upon the
streets yesterday that Rutherford had
mysteriously disappeared in st. Louis
and nothing had been heard of him
from the time he left this city.

He Would Have Legislature
Vote Money for a Coliseum
for Cattle.
A STATE FAIR PROJECT
LOCAL LEGISLATOR WILL ALSO
PRESENT AN AMENDMENT TO
BILL GOVERNING THE LOAN OF
SCHOOL FUNDS.

Representative Ratliff who IS home
to spend Sunday with his family said
Yesterday that this week he would
likely present two bills in the lower
branch of the general assembly and
he also proposes to offer an amend
ment to a bill already pending, which
pertains to the loan of school funds.
The bill has not emerged from COM
mittee but likely will be reported
early in the week. Mr.. Ratliff favors
the measure in a general way, but
thinks the interest rate should be
lowered. The present rate is per
cent Mr.. Ratliff's amendment prob
ably will propose 5 per cent.
Representative Ratliff will also pre-
sent bill for the state board of agri-
culture asking for an appropriation
for the building of a coliseum at the
state fair grounds for the exhibit OF
live stock during the entire year. I'm
der present conditions there is no
such building in Indianapolis and 1t
is thought that in case the building
is constructed it will be the means OF
financial returns to the state. The
coliseum as proposed will be at the
service of those dealers of the fame
Ter live stock during the state fair.
1t is estimated that the cost of the
building will range from $4,000 to
100000.
Mr. Ratliff will also present a BIZ,
which will govern reports to courts
in case of insolvent estates. The bill
is now under the course of conStruc-
ton The bill will pertain in the main.
to the reports of insolvency and the
discharge of administrators. AL
though his bill for an appropriation
for the printing of circulars for the
state geologist, and incidentally
raise in that officials salary, was kill
action postponed indefinitely. Repre-
sentative Ratliff still clings to hope
that a similar bill will be pushed
through the lower branch of the leg
islature. A bill containing practically
the same clauses as the Ratliff bill
has been passed on third reading by
the senate and will doubtless reach
the house this week However, if it
is passed by the house an amendment
may be tackled to it, which will again
require the action of both the house
and senate before it becomes a law.
Several legislators and senators ac-
cording to the statements of Repre-
sentative Ratliff have their knives out
for the bill and it may again reach the
slaughter pen as did the same bill
presented to the house.
Mr. Ratliff is at the present time
chairman of the agricultural commit
tee which is composed entirely of far
ners and they have applied the ak
to several agricultural bills which
have been submitted. This however
was largely due to the impractical
bility of all, the measures.

CenterviIIe People to Get An
sWer from the Traction
Company in a Week.
COMMISSIONERS AROUSED
FORMAL DEMAND MADE ON THE
INDIANAPOLIS G. EASTERN FOR
A RATE OF % CENTS ON LINZ
TIED CARS.

The protest of the citizens of Cen
terville against the payment of what
they consider an excessive fare on
the limited cars of the Indianapolis
& Eastern traction company was a
matter that occupied the attention OF
the county commissioners at their SEES
sion yesterday morning. The board
through Col. Wiley, its president, was
not at all backward in presenting GER
tain demands to w. H. Latta, attorney
for the company.
Attorney T. ]. Study represented
the citizens of Centerville at the
meeting, and declared if the excess
fares were not abolished the board
should bring proceedings against the
company for the forfeiture of it's fran
chise rights. He declared that the
franchise provided that the company
should not charge more than 1'2-3
cents per mile for one continuous pas
sage, providing no separate fare be
less than ten cents. The company
had no right to charge 5 cents for
carrying a passenger in Richmond,
1 % cents per mile for the four miles
between the corporation line, and the
east corporation line of Centerville
and still have another cents in Cen
terville. The trip was as a matter of
fact one continuous passage. At the
conclusion of Mr.. Study's remarks Mr..
Wiley made a formal demand upon
Mr.. Latta for the / % rate of fare,
and that gentleman said that the com
pany would take the matter up at
once, making known it's decision at
the meeting of the commissioners one
week from tomorrow.
In the course of his remarks before
the board Mr.. Latta said that under
the law city and county officials in
matter of this kind must act independ-
emily and separately as county offici-
ais had no jurisdiction in cities and
towns and town officials had none in
the county. He said that the informa-
ton that Centerville citizens had to
pay ten cents more to ride to Indiana
polls on limited car than it cost in
Richmond was news to him. The
traction company. he said, desired to
deal fairly with the people along its
line, and did not care about becom-
ing involved in litigation if it could
be avoided.
A number of citizens of Centerville
were present during the hearing. and
they heartily endorsed the action of
the commissioners. They seemed to
company would accede to it. and were
of the opinion that the entire matter
would terminate in the courts.

MILL FIRE AT DOVER, N. H.
LARGE BUILDING QUICKLY DE-
vOURED BY FLAMES AND FIVE
HUNDRED EMPLOYEES MAKE
MAD RUSH FOR LIFE.
Publishers Press1

Dover, y. ri. Jan. 26.-The lives OF
from 200 to 500 employees in the five
story mill of the Cocheco Manufactur-
ing company were imperiled by fire
that swept through the structure with
great rapidity. Many were hurt by
jumping from fourth-story windows.
The fire started from a hot box in
the spool room and before employees
could make any effort to extinguish it
the flames spread TO the spinning
room and swept through the big mill.
There were no fire escapes 6n the mill
and panic-stricken employees made a
wild rush for the exits. Those on
lower floors generally managed to get
out through the doors or windows, but
those on the fourth and flftn floors
were not SO fortunate. Employees on
the fifth floor rushed to the fourth in
large numbers and finding that smoke
and flames cut off their exit down the
stairways, many leaped from the win
dows Some who were cooler-headed
remembered there were ropes in the
room. placed there for emergency, and
attaching these to the window frames,
slid down, burning the skin on their
hands in SO doing.
Four men crouched at an open win
down on the upper floor, gasping for
air nearly two hours before they were
discovered ladder was raised, but
the imprisoned men, nearly uncon-
scious from the smoke, did not dare to
venture on 1t until flremen went to
their assistance James Connors, one
of these men. said he stumbled over
what he believed to be unconscious
persons.
The mill is considered one Of the
best plants of the Cocheco Manufac-
turing company, which has many
structures on both sides Of the Co
checo river.
Managers of the concern announced
that they are satisfied no lives were
lost in the fire, as all the help was
accounted for. Two men were seri-
ously injured by jumping from win
dows.
Subsequently six bodies were found
in the ruins. They were those OF boys
employed In the mule room.
