HOW THAT NASTY ENGINE
SQUIRTED OIL AND WATER

ELKHART, Ind, April 19.-Its a
time honored custom in Elkhart to go
down TO the Lake Shore station and
watch the trains go through. But Is
that any reason why three perfectly
nice girls should get oil and hot water
squirted over them by a nasty old en-
CINE?
Tbs point will come up shortly in
civil suit in which the Lake Shore
railroad will be the defendant. The
girls want $3.50 damages.
II was Sunday afternoon. and we all
had on our near directories and gray
spats and work basket hats, and II we
do say II ourselves nobody could cast
any aspersions on them-much less

So successful was Joseph in inter
