CENTRAL UNION TO
BUILD EXCHANGE
Equipment for New Structure
Has Been in the City
For Some Time.
MANAGER HUTTON TALKS.
SAYS HE THINKS THAT A MOD
ERN BUILDING WILL BE ERECT
ED ALTHOUGH ONES HIGHER
UP SAY NOTHING.

1t is probable that within the next
month the Central Union Telephone
company will begin work on the con-
struction of a new exchange building
to be located on the lot on North
Tenth street, purchased by the cOmpa-
ny about two years ago.
All the material for the equipment
of a new exchange building is stored
in this city, in fact it has been stored
here for several weeks. Some of this
material. such as switChbOards, could
not be placed in any kind of a struct-
ure except one built especially for such
equipment. This kind of structure
would also have to be made of fireprOof
material. 1t is the general opinion
that if the company did not intend to
erect a new exchange building the
equipment now stored here would have
been shipped elsewhere long ago.
Manager Hutton of the local branch
of the company, states that he has no
information concerning the intentions
of the company in regards to a new eX-
change building but he thinks that one
will be built Mr.. Hutton states that
when the equipment for such a build
ing was shipped here the company full
ly intended to build. but this was not
done because of the action of the city
at that time in refusing to grant the
company satisfactory underground
privileges. y
The work of constructing the Main
street conduit system Of the compa-
ny will start Monday morning. II is
probable that the work will begin at
the corner of Second and Main street.
This line will extend east from that
point to Twenty-first street. The COM
pany will employ local men as labor
ers to construct the conduit system.

ALLISON IS CAPTAIN
Will Lead High School Track
Men During the Com
ing Season.
ANDERSON is STRONG.

At meeting of the track candidates
Of the Richmond high school held this
week Karl Allison was elected captain
and F. l.. Terrence was elected as
manager. There was some twenty
candidates in attendance and the inter
est shown by the prospective candidates
was very gratifying. The high school
team this year will take part in two OF
the field meets, the one being the quad
rangular field meet between Richmond.
Anderson, Marion and KokomO, held at
Anderson May rs. which leaves very
little time for the local team to get
down to practice necessary to their
making a creditable showing The In
terschOlastiC, May %. Is to be held at
Bloomington under the auspices Of the
|. Fl. S. A. A.
At Anderson, Ben Fisher, we'll
known to local athletes has been Sc
lected captain and has ordered that all
the candidates be out Monday. They
have introduced rules for the track
team which would be very valuable to
the local team if the the management
would get down and compel the candi-
dates to obey them. The most i'm
portant are. that there will be abso-
lutely no smoking permitted by the
men in training; also that swearing
shall not be INDUCED in during the
track training hours The boys at
Anderson have held several meetings
and have been arousing the winning
spirit in the boys, and ii is very prob
able that if the local school authorities
would work on a like plan, that a good
deal of interest would be shown and
Anderson would not be able to win
both cups as they did last year. If the
Anderson team wins this years meet,
the two cups awarded. will be Ander-
sons permanent property.
There is plenty of excellent material
at the local high school. but on &C
count of lack of interest there have on
ly been three or four men out during
the past week and those being Allison
Spangler, Chapman and Burcham.
Next Monday all the candidates have
been ordered to be ready for work
out at the play grounds.

II has ben definitely settled that, at

league will be composed Of four cities,
Richmond, Logansport. Huntington In
Indiana and Van Vert in Ohio. The
organization will be under national
protection and will be known as
class d league After the opening or
the season, when the weather gets
good and hot and the fans get the base
ball fever bad, it is probable that two
other cities will organize clubs and
become affiliated with the 10. league.
All OF the four towns in the league
are good ball towns and the league
promises to be a great success. Next
week q league meeting will be held
at Huntington for the purpose OF ar
ranging a schedule.
Anderson appears to be base ball

out of town promoter to organize the

exists in PiQua.

account of the weather conditions. the
high school baseball men left for new
Madison this morning where they will
proceed to get busy and chase the
leather this afternoon with the team
representing that town. During the
first part Of the week the candidates
made an excellent showing in handling

to be improving slowly. but yet there
are several o fthe men below average
and do not seem to have the correct
showing.
The local team left with little inter
est being shown by the students in the
game. There were no students accom-
panying the team, although it is only
a short distance. The lineup of Rich

COLLEGE CORNER

Many Citizens Had Implicit
Confidence in Hunts
berger.
MOTHER-IN-LAW is ILL.
MRS. SlSSEN INTENDED TO PAY
SURPRISE VISIT NOT KNOWING
OF ACCUSATIONS AGAINST HER
DAUGHTERS HUSBAND.

College Corner. Ind, April 11.-This
shock administered by the confession
of John Huntsberger, that he stole 5000
from the receipts of the c., H. & D.
railroad and burned the depot TO hide
his crime. Huntsberger was the local
agent for the company and although he
was known to have been operating a
bucketshOp, the entire vicinity had i'm
plicit confidence in his integrity of
character. This town was dazed in a
way that seldom happens. The wife of
Huntsberger could not be led to believe
in his guilt. and all the way enroute to
Liberty, where she went to see Hunts
berger. who is confined in Jail. she
maintained faith in his innocence 1t
is but rare that the public receives
such a blow to its BELIEF in the fidelity
of mankind, as has befallen. The
three children of the man cry for their
papa and ask why he is kept in Jail,
and can not come to see them.
When Mrs. Sissen, mother of Mrs
Huntsberger, arrived from Cleveland.
Unexpectedly Tuesday. she came for a
surprise visit. When she left the
train she noticed that the depot had
burned. She wondered what had been
the fate OF her son-in-law, never
dreaming the match had been applied
by his hands. When she went to the
home, where she expected to find all
rejoicing, she found them in tears. She
was told her son-in-law was gone to In
dianapolis TO appear before a board of
inquiry. When news of the man s
confession came. Mrs. Sissen suffered
nervous prostration, and has been
confined TO her bed since.

unaware that the Rev. Mr.. Kuhn of

all times and that as soon as he re-
covers from the bruises of his guber-
Material contest he will probably be
very active. Smith is wise enough to
look twice before taking the leap.

ton 5. The Quakers are making col
lection of Ohio State league scalpS.
Mr. R Hickey, the Buckeye goal ten
der, had d leaky pair of pin protectors
and in the first periOd the local for
wards eased four past him. Mr.. Hick-
ey's team mates became peeved at
him and after the first period the
washboiler was attached to the leaky
goal tend In his place Snaveley, the
Kibbey cage guardian, was substitute
ed. At the jump off Mr.. Snaveley eX-
perienced a rush of blood to :he heart,
but after accustOming himself to the
role of target for the rapid fire OF the
Quaker rushes he settled down and
played a splendid game, permitting
only three drives to get past him.
The game was pretty one to watch.
The Quigley brothers were in fine fet-
tie and they swept the Ohio defense
before them like the wind blows over
the gentle Unison weeds. The often
sive work of the locals in the first
two periods was par excellent. In the
finale the visitors made a game rally
