Breaks Leg While Playing Football

Gilbert Owsley, the 12-year-old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs b. f. O~sley, last Satur-
day, while playing football with a bunch
of boys of his own age on the High school
campus, had the misfortune to break
his right leg near the hip, which will keep
him indoors for some time. The lad at
this writing is doing as well as could
be expected He lives to play football
again, the next time, we hope, without
any accident befalling him.

Another Joke on the Shelf.

From the Boston Traveler-The ac-
tion of st. Louis Jury, which last
week awarded verdict of $4,000
damages against a doctor because he
had left a roll OF gauze in the interior
department of patient on whom he
had performed an operation, the Sec
ond verdict of this kind within a few
weeks. will be regarded by the medical
profession as an unwarranted inter
ference with their privileges. Moth
ing is more popular in doctors gath
erings than the stories told of sur
geons who return to their offices af-
ter an operation and find scissors,
knife or sponge missing from their kit.
The good actor, who can reproduce
the facial expression of the doctor as
he slaps his thigh and says, by jove,
] sewed that up in the patient" is al
ways sure of good laugh. The story
OF the Irishman cut open first to re-
move sponge and then a pair of scis-
sors, who finally begged that they
would fix him with flap and button
so that they could get in without so
much bother. will soon be on the ta-
boo list with the mother-in-law joke
and other like chestnuts.

TWO AEROPLAAES
FOR INDIANAPOLIS
The Great Air Carnival to Be
Favored by BIeriot and
Curtiss.
SET THE DATE IN OCTOBER
INDIANAPOLIS TALENT ARE NOW
BUILDING CRAFTS WHICH WILL
BE ENTERED IN THE COMING
EVENT.

Indianapolis, Aug. 31.-Two aero
planes are already promised for the
Speedway balloon and automobile car
nival to be held this fall. According
to cable received last night from
Rheims, Louis Bleriot and Glenn H.
Curtiss will be in Indianapolis with
their flying machines at that time.
Blerot is the famous flyer who recent
| ~ crossed the English Channel in his
machine Curtiss, the American avia-
tor, has won the title of the "Colum-
bus of the Air" because of his record
breaking flights recently during the
French races.
Other international aero characters
are being sought and indications are
that the Wright brothers, Hubert La
than and Henri Farman will be en-
tered in the races to be held over the
Hoosier track soon. Farman attempt
ed several times to perform the stunt
which Bleriot did, but fell in the wat
er. He is recognized as a nervy pilot
ious to procure him.
The date for this meet has not been
determined. 1t must either be just
before the St. Louis balloon races,
Oct. 4, or Just afterward. as several of
the contestants will perform in both.
In addition to aeroplanes there will
be dirgible balloons and spherical bal
looms in the local events. There will
also be automobile races on the five
mile Speedway track. A twice-around-
the-clock race and 3OO-mile event.
punctuated with several shorter ones,
will most probably be the motor card.
Local Aeronauts Busy.
While the eyes of all civilization
have been intensely focused on the
marvellous achievements of the flyers
| during the recent Rheims meet, two
local aeronauts have been quietly
building crafts fo- similar work. Capt.
G. l.. Bumbaugh is busy building two
dirigibles and one aeroplane. One
dirigible is almost completed and will
be launched Monday at the state fair.
The other dirigible is being construct
| ed for Carl G. Fisher. 1t has a gas
bag 166 feet long and frame work
1O5 feet long. Fisher will enter the
Speedway carnival this fall with this
new craft. and it is predicted that,
because Of it's size and powerful en-
gine, he will fly away with the laur-
els.
The dirigible in which Bumbaugh
will ride next week has a gas bag,
cigar shaped, sixty feet long and a
frame construction, thirty-two feet
long. The engine weighs $50 pounds,
but the three rods in the frame are so
rigid that there is not perceptible
sway when suspended. Bumbaugh
will ride astride the triangular frame,
running backward or forward in order
to balance the craft
