Mrs. Florence John Has Filed
Suit Against the c.. c.. C. &
ST. L. Railroad for Sum of
$4,000.
SENSATIONAL ARE THE
CHARGES REGISTERED.
According to Complaint. Train
Crew Virtually Committed
PremedItated Murder-Ac-
Cident Two Years Ago.

Averring that the Cleveland, Gin
Cinnati. Chicago and St Louis Rail
road company wilfully killed her hus-
band Mrs Florence John of Milton.
has filed suit for S10,oOo damages
against that railroad The plaintiff
brings the action as administratrix OF
the estate of her husband. Horace

In the complaint il is averred that

plaintiff states was an able bodied
man, - years of age and capable OF
earning Sl.5o per day. was walking
along the track of the C. {. c. 4 l..
near the outskirts of Milton.
This track. the complaint sets forth
runs in a straight line for several miles
and it is possible for an engineer 10
see an object on the track a mile dis
tant. Without making any effort 70
stop, the train rushed down upon John.
Instantly killing him.
In conclusion the complaint sets
forth that the agents or servants OF
the railroad company operating the
train which killed John. "purposely
and wilfully" ran the locomotive and
cars against him with the purpose
and design of then and there killing
him"
1t Is not set forth In the complaint
what purpose the crew of the engine
would have in killing the aged man.
This suit is one of the most sensational
damage complaints ever filed I'm the

iLg the fact that the plaintiff literally
charges the crew of the engine which
killed her husband with prcmeditated
murder. no action against them was ey-
er taken by the authorities of this
county.

INVESTIGATION FOLLOWS.
TOWN BOARD WILL PROBABLY
APPOINT SPECIAL COMMITTEE
TO LOOK INTO THE CASE

Prosecutor Jessup has presented To
the town clerk Of Cambridge City,

sent to the board for its consideration
the charges preferred by the prosecu-
tor Frank Mosbaugh. a member Of
he town board. states that il is prob
able that tie board will appoint
committee TO investigate the charges.
ID IS certain that no action will be
taken against DR. scheI until his re-
ported actions have been given thor
cugh investigation and he has had an
opportunity 10 speak for himself" said
Mr.. Mosbaugh.
Several days ago. it will be remem-
bered. DTischel attempted TO arrest
William Armstrong driver for the
Starr piano company. because he had
run into and damaged rig at East
Germantown belonging TO George
ShaffeT The prosecutor contends that
the bill for repairing this rig amount
ed 10 g and states that Drischel aver
ed the cost OF repairs amounted 10 sS
and that he attempted TO force ARM
strong TO pay this amount and 81 ad-
ditional as a fee which Drischel in
tended % appropriate for himself
Iu the charges the prosecutor has
preferred against Drischel he states
that h.. cannot be prosecuted b. the
state because ne vas not guilty of any
criminal acr. ~DriscbeE could not col
lect 4 bill or fee in his official capac-
ity in the Armstrong case. Ii is also
a fact that h. could not be prosecuted
for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses as Armstrong did not pay the
fee" stated the prosecutor today. In
Ills charges the prosecutor pictures
Drischel in the light Of a @grafier"
and insists that he is not qualified To

Public Service Corporations
Will Pay No Heed to the
Ruling Until Municipality
Gets Busy Also.
CITY OFFICIALS SEEM
TO THINK DIFFERENT.
Seems as Though They Labor
Under the Impression That
The City Can Place Its
Wires in Special Ducts.

The Light. Heat & Power company
will comply with the terms OF the
Main street pole ordinance providing
that the city sets the example, stat
sponse to an inquiry rs to whether
that company intended TO have its
Main street wires underground by
June l. the time limit provided by the
ordinance.
Mr.. Lane stated that if the city de-
sired the companies affected by the
ordinances 10 comply with it, the city
must first place c0nduits TO show
these companies that the city itself
intended to comply with the ordiu-
ance. He said that the Light. Heat
and Power company would willingly
hold joint meeting with the city 10
discuss some plan for placing Il joint
conduit system in Main street, but
that the company would ignore the
ordinance until such Il meeting had
/ been called.
I II is evident that the city officials
have been laboring under the impress
sion that after the companies affect
ed by the ordinance had placed their
conduits, all the city would have 10
| do would be TO place its wires in
! specially reserved ducts in these con,
duits. The AFFECTED" companies can
not see by a careful pertsal OF the
ordinance how the city is not as much
affected by it as themselves.
! Wlen the city takes the first step in
| placing conduits in Main street the
/ Central Union telephone company and
( the two telegraph companies will no
doubt get together and arrange TO
place a conduit large enough to ac-
commodate The wires of all these
companies.

Thought That 1t Does and Will
Soon Begin the Construc-
ton of a Freight Line
Through North End.
SHIPPERS COMPLAINING
OF THE ClTY'S ACTION.
Asserted That Trade With
Small Outlying Towns Has
DWindIed to Almost Nothing
Owing to Traction SquabbIe

1t is the general opinion that as
soon as the weather is favorable the
Terre Haute. indianapolis & Eastern
traction company will begin work on
building a freight route through the
north end Of this city. 1t is regarded
as a foregone conclusion that the fed
eral court will rule that the company
has no right TO operate freight cars on
Main street east Of Fifth street.
1t is also probable that if the city
council sees that the traction company
means to act in good faith in regards
TO building the north end freight line
the company will be permitted 70 0D-
pralo It's frci-Ht cars on Main ~..r, z

end line.
Council will take this action. it is
stated. on the insistance of the local
shippers, who have been without trac-
tion freight service for nearly a year.
These shippers, especially the job
bers, have suffered keenly from the
effects OF the action taken by council
in prohibiting the operation Of freight
cars through the city. The trade local

ton is planning to make a hard fight
against this appropriation. In the
past council has always made the ap-
preparation. Notwithstanding the oppo-
siton Of the administration. on the as
surance of the hospital trustees that
the institution is a municipal one.
The administration still contends
that the Reid Memorial hospital is a
private institution and several mem-
bors of the city council are beginning
10 look at the matter in this light 1t
is known that there is an organized ef-
fort afoot to force the trustees of the
hospital to deed the institution over 20
the city on the penalty of having mu-
nicipal support withdrawn.
City Controller Parry states that the
Reid Memorial hospital is no more ii
municipal institution than the Muncie
hospital is, and he points to the fact
tnat the city of Muncie only pays the
actual costs of all city cases cared for
at the hospital and at the same time
derives as much benefit from that i'll
stitution as the city of Richmond de
rives from the Reid Memorial hospit-
al.
Many of the best informed attorneys
in the city support the stand taken by
Mayor Schillinger that the city has no
legal right to appropriate money for
the support Of the hospital until that
institution actually becomes a munic-
ipal hospital.

March is expected to bring a decid-

days have given basis for renewed
confidence.
A well-known financial man, talking
of the spring outlook for business,
said that so far as fully informed busi-
ness men can see at this time. March
is To be month of renewed strength
and REINFORCED confidence. The
spring trade has opened strongly.
We westerners," he said, surprised
New York tremendously a short time
ago by pouring our buyers into the
market with the usual large orders
for goods, supplies and materials We
gave the east a good lesson in optim-
ism. They believed they were sick
and that we were sick likewise. We
taught them that we not only were in
good health. but that we were robust
and sassy
Everybody is prepared TO act on
good news, and the good news is com
ing from day to day. That is the sit
uation locally. and | think the same
thing is to be found in the general
situation. This means marked activity
in manufacturing i'll Richmond this
spring. Assumptions elsewhere are
encouraging to those who plan re
sumption here"
Farmers Prosperous.
An agent for farming implement
concern, talking of the prospects fol
spring sales, declared that while the
farmers have more money than eve
before; while the average farmer i.
richer than at any former time. il is
difficult to get cash for products. anC
this condition has had tendency tt

power temporarily. 1T is confident!

financial conditions, such as we nov
have the farmers buying capacit!

a big spring business in our line, ant
we hear from others that the outlool
is good for a large expansion of trade
