TO DRILL DEEP WELL
IN FOUNTAIN COUNTY.
r. r. Brant, of Hagerstown, to Search
For Oil or Gas-Is Going
Down Two Thousand Feet.

Hagerstown, Ind, March 23-R. r
Brant, who operates a number of rigs
in the oil fields. has contracted to drill
well in Fountain county that will be
two thousand feet deep. This well is
in new field and is purely for ex-
perimental purposes.
The promoters desire to ascertain
what is beneath the surface in their
county and have raised a large sum of
money to be used in drilling wells to
a great depth. Whether oil or gas
or neither viii be found is mere specu-
lation. but the promoters have faith
that something valuable will be discov-
cred
In order to drill to so great a depth
Mr.. Brant had to procure a special
equipment and built his derrick heav-
ier and stronger than when used in
wells of the usual depth.
Fountain county is not believed to
be in the oil belt, but should a new
deposit be found it will be all the more
valuable.

NOT UP TO THE LIMIT.
EDWARD STEIN, REPUBLICAN,
AND OSCAR BROWN, DEMOCRAT
ARE THE LUCKY MEN TO WEAR
UNIFORMS.

The board OF police commi issioners
met this noon and appointed two new
officers to the force, Edward Stein. a
republican. and Oscar Brown. a demo
crat. Stein is to succeed Harry Heb
bic. who recently resigned. Brown
was added TO the force because the
commissioners thought ii best to in
crease the force. These new officers
will begin their duties the first of
April.
Not Yet to the Limit
With the addition of two more Off
GERS. the force Will consist of fifteen
policemen. one patrol driver. two ser
seants and the chief. The state law
provides one officer for each one thou
sand inhabitants, so that the commits
sioners can, if they so desire, add four
more policemen to the force. as the
1900 census shows Richmond TO have
over $4,000 population. With the ad-
dition OF the new officers ii is proba-
BILE that one OF the older officers will
be promoted to the office of night

Edward Stein is a timer and has
been in the employ OF Schultz x Ian
ming. Brown has for some time past
been a conductor on the street car line.
Both are we'll known and will make ex-
cellent officers.

REV. H. c. RANDOLPH
IN DIVORCE ACTION
His Name Connected With
Case of Cook VS.. Cook.
SEPARATION is GRANTED.

In the circuit court Prosecutor JeS-
sup. during the hearing of a divorce
case, Joseph Cook, colored against
Mahala Cook, stated that he had in
vestigated the case as state attorney.
and had found that the Rev. H. c.
Randolph, former pastor of the Mount
Moriah Baptist church. South Ninth
and B streets, was primarily RESPONSE
BILE for the breaking up of the Cook
home
In the case Joseph Cook charged his
wife with misconduct and cruel and
inhuman treatment. The correspond
ent in the case was young col
ored man. consequently Prosecutor
Jessup's charge thai the Rev. Randolph
was the cause of the domestic woes of
Mr. and Mrs. Cook, came in the nature
of a surprise.
Judge Fox. after hearing the testi-
mony of the prosecutor, promptly
granted divorce. The Rev. Ran
dolph resigned his pastorate at Mount
Moriah church last year and at the
present time it is not known where he
is located. 1t is rumored that his i'm
plication in the Cook case had some
thing to do with his leaving the city.

Accompanying it was an affidavit of
DelmaS in which he declares his belief
that his client is perfectly able TO ad-

fact he has been comforting with coun-

other attorneys for Thaw submitted
similar affidavits.
In addition. all of the experts who
were called by the defense during the
trial submitted affidavits declaring it
TO be their belief that Thaw is perfect

One of these experts has made an eX-

examination. This was DR. George f

MARCH RECORD FOR
HIGH TEMPERATUR
Even the Old Resident Has to
Acknowledge That He
Is Put to the Bad.
SUMMER CLOTHES NEEDED.
CONTRAST WITH LAST MARCH
STRIKING AS THERE is DIFFER
ENce OF 20 DEGREES IN THE
MINIMUM.

According to the record kept by Wal
ter Vossler at the pumping station,
Friday was the warmest March day
since he has been keeping the records
at that place, which dates back to 1881.
At two O'Clock in the afternoon the
thermometer registered 81, probably
the highest ever known here. on that
date. The oldest residents of the city
state that they do not remember such
warm weather at this time of the year.
Shirt waists and negligee attire have
been decidedly the vogue among the
women for the past two days and it
has been no uncommon sight TO see
women on the streets wearing neither
hat. jacket nor coat. More than one
has remarked as to the early appear
ance of the summer girl.
Dig Up Summer Suits.
The men have also caught the fever
and summer suits have been dug out
from wardrobes and trunks, and the
moth balls relegated The array of
light summer suits has been large,
while one man, had the temerity to ap-
pear on the streets wearing a straw
hat And the strangest part of 1T all
was the people did not look twice at
him as such warm weather makes all
mankind of one mind
Many men had postponed buying
their Easter suits, fearing there would
still be considerable cold weather be-
fore then and since the appearance of
the beautiful spring days, tailors are
rushed with orders and clothing mer-
chants are doing landoffice business.
Today the little glass tube registered
10 degrees at noon, and 50 at about 4
O'Clock. The cool breeze which was
blowing, tended to offset any unpleas-
antness.
Difference of 26 Degrees.
Uptodate there has been a difference
of % degrees in the minimum temper
ature between the record of last March
and of this. The lowest temperature
last year was below zero; the lowest
uptodate this year being 19 above. The
maximum temperature last March was
60 degrees, there being a range of
twenty-six degrees for the two months.
Voluntary Observer Vossler states
that be expects the highest mean tenn
perature for the month of March ever
recorded in the history of the state.
From present appearances there is ev-
cry chance for such to be the case.
The mean temperature for the first
twenty days of last March was % de-
grees while for this month the first
twenty-five days mean temperature
has been 43.

IT WAS THE INTENTION TO HAVE

On account of the unusual haste
in adjourning the Legislature no steps
can be taken toward arranging for
Indiana's centennial celebration until
sembly.
During the session recently closed
Senator Kistler of Cass county intro
duced resolution providing for a
preliminary organization whose pur.
pose it was to devise and propose
plans to the next legislature for the
celebration of the one hundredth an
niversary of the admission of Indiana
to the union.
The resolution provided that the or
ganization should consist of members
of the legislature. state officers, the
vice president OF the United States
and the Indiana members of the Unit
ed States senate.
The members of this commission
were to meet on April / in the city OF
Indianapolis and begin the work Of
arranging for this centennial celebra-
ton The members of the commits
sion were to serve without pay. The
resolution passed the senate and was
passed by the house on the last day
of the session under a suspension OF

In the excitement of adjournment

DEADLOCK RESULTS
IN REFERENCE To
ROUTE FOR FREIGHT
General Manager Reynolds
Of the fraction Company,
Refuses to Consider North
TWenty-third Street.
WHAT WILL MCGOWAN
DO, is THE QUESTION.
Meeting Held Friday Night
Was Very Unsatisfactory
Resolutions Are Presented
BY the Shippers.

The Indiana, Columbus & Eastern
traction company has turned down the
demand made by the city that the
proposed freight route in the north
end run on North Twentythird street.
At a meeting held Friday evening be
tween General Manager Reynolds OF
the traction company, the board OF
public works and other city officials,
Mr.. Reynolds was informed that on
Thursday evening at public meeting
the Twenty-third street route mad
been decided on by unanimous vote
on the part of those who attended and
that the board had been instructed
to demand of the company that its
proposed freight route run down this
street. Mr. Reynolds promptly refus-
ed to consider this route. He was
asked what street in the east end the
company would desire to place its
freight line but he made no statement.
The result of this meeting with Mr..
Reynolds was most unsatisfactory to
the city officials as it means that the
prospective adjustment of all traction
troubles has gone glimmering and that
all the ground covered at the recent
conference held with President McGo-
wan will have to be fought over again.
No Special Council Meeting.
There was to have been a special
meeting of council next Monday even
ing to act on the franchise ordinance
which was to have been presented by
the special council committee, but as
the citizens insist that the Twenty
third street route shall be the one
named in the franchise and as the
traction company refuses to accept
this route, no franchise ordinance for
the time being will be prepared by
the special committee and the special
council meeting has been called off.
What Will MCGOWAN Do?
At the meeting Friday evening Mr.
Reynolds expressed surprise that the
board should insist on the Twenty
third street route, calling attention to
the fact at the meeting held with Pres
ident MCGOWAN the city officials had
insisted on the Twenty-second street
route. 1t was pointed out to Mr.. Rey-
erty owners and shippers that the
Twenty-third street route be the one
adopted and that as representatives of
the people the board had no other al
