ALMOST SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Mule Took Fright at Automobile and
Ran Away.

The Branchville Journal says on
Saturday afternoon Mr.. E. A. Jen-
kins, of Columbia, was going into
Branchville in an automobile when
he met Mr.. Aquilla Drawdy and his
daughter in buggy. The mule that
Mr.. Drawdy was driving was fright
ened at the machine and showed
signs of running away. Mr.. Drawdy
hailed the driver of the machine and
asked him to stop until he could get
by.
The machine was stopped and Mr..
Drawdy drove to one side of the
road and got out of the buggy to
hold the mule. While the machine
had been stopped the engine was still
running, and this noise was more
than the trusty son of Balaam could
stand and he made preparations
forthwith to move. Miss Drawdy had
gotten out of the buggy in the mean
time. The driver of the machine see
ing the buggy outside of the road
started to come on by, and as he did
this the mule broke and ran, tearing
the buggy completely to pieces and
giving both Mr.. Drawdy and his
daughter several severe bruises and
cuts.
The accident was caused by the
driver of the machine not stopping
the engine when asked by the party
in the buggy. 1t Is lucky that Sc
rious accident was not met with.
The fact that both had gotten out
was the only thing that saved them
from being seriously and probably
fatally injured.

At MEETING

At the regular meeting Of the Gary
board yesterday afternoon number Of
local republicans. headed by Attorneys
William +. Dunn, Clyde Hunter and
George Manlove. presented a petition
with 1,151 signers to the trustees, for
the calling of an election for the pur-
pose of determining whether the town

POLICE MOI
CALLED FOR
ACTION ONCE

There was not the slightest vestige of
crookedness reported at the local police
station yesterday. due to the fact that
the circus was in the city. which was
due largely to the fact that the Sells
FIoto people did not countenance any
thing of this character and also be-
cause of the fact that the police were
especially vigilant because of reports
from other cities.
While the parade was in progress
there was not single house or store
robbed. and during the performance no
complaint was made to the police of
pockets being picked or an yof the pa
irons valuables being lost.
Two years ago it will be remembered
when the Wallace shows were in the
city the Berieger harness shop and the
Bradford paint store was robbed of con
siderable money.

According to T W. Englehart who
believed that he lead his friend, Jen-
sen in to the trap, he was approached
by two men who claimed to be agents
for the Nickel Plate railroad who were
investigating as to where two proposed
railroad lines would cross the Nickel
Plate. Englehart always booster and
ready to accommodate, took them all
around the territory, and as it was the

ELKS GET
STRANGE
CURIOSITY
Siegfried Fooyong to Be
Placed by the Local Elks
Lodge on Exhibition at
Their Picnic, Which Oc-
ours Next Wednesday.

siegefried Fouyon pronounced Foo
yong, accent on last syllable) is the
name of a species of freak which the
committee on freaks for the big Elk
picnic on Wednesday, Aug. 18th, has
secured for public exhibition. For a
time the committee thought to have had
and exceptionally good find in an hon
est politician which it intended to
exhibit, but the Siegefried Fouyon out
classes an honest politician so far that
it promises to be one of the star at
fractions. DR.. ]. T. Clark, one of the
committee. in speaking of this coming
exhibition in connection with the big
picnic said:
The Siegefried Fouyon is a wonder
in that he possesses the elasticity of
rubber, and it is a question among
scientists as to his being human, for he
looks like an ape, eats like a hog and
drinks like a fish.
Captured in Gary.
"Siegefried Fouyon was captured in
the wild 5ungles of the Patch in Gary,
where he was turned loose during the
recent cleaning up season. His capture
was no easy matter. He seemed posses
sed of unearthly power, but once the
chains were laid on him he became very
meek and, while it may sound like a
paradox, he will now eat out of the
hand of an Elk. Brute force could not
overwhelm, and the committee on
freaks, seeing that physical power was
in vain, procured one of Dave John
sons swamp angels. who tracked Siege
fried Fouyon to his lair and laid the
cIan1dng chains around his wrists and
ankles.
DR.. van6ewaTker, one of Hammonds
pioneer veterinary surgeons. upon a
close examination of the Siegefried Fou-
yon, shows that he is about 40 years
old. He comes to this conclusion from
two sources. The first is that he learns
from the human-ape-hog ish-like be-
ings teeth, and the second from men
tioning a joke which in Hammond is
known to be forty years DID, namely
the Monon depot.

Another competitor has been swal-
lowed up by the progressive f. S. Betz
Manufacturing company of this city,
who recently have completed the nego-
tiations for the purchase of the Brew
ster Dental company of Chicago.
The Brewster company, which is cele-
brated throughout the country for their
Brewster teeth and Brewster enamels,
had recently been declared insolvent in
the United States court and their stock
of goods was disposed of to the Betz
interests for $4,000.
For a time the Brewster company
was one of the largest dental supply
houses in the west, and when at the
hefghth of their prosperity entered the
mail order business in competition with
the Betz interests. Here the fight be-
gan about two years ago and finally
ended in victory for the local concern.
VIII Add to Local Plant.
The purchase of this stock will add
materially to the equipment of the
dental department of the Betz company.
This department was started about four
years ago and became so prosperous
and profitable that the largest competi-
tors are falling before their advance
ment The Brewster company was To-
Gated at 2544 Princeton avenue.
This bankrupt concern IS the last of
a series of concerns which have been
taken over in the past few years by the
stronger firm.
Among these are the c. F. Birtman
Co., which made speciality of N-rays
and batteries which originally intended
to locate at Griffith; the Charles F
Baker Co, which confined its business
largely to drugs; the surgical depart
ment of the Sears, Roebuck & Co. mai
order house, which started four years
ago to put F. S. Betz out of business
and numerous other smaller concerns
