NARROW ESCAPE

Especial to THE TIMEs.)
East Chicago, Ind, Aug. 16. - City
Engineer c. w Wallace of this city
was in the Alder street main sewer
pumping station at the time of the
electrical storm of Saturday morning
when the lofty smokestack of the
pumping station was struck by light
ming. He narrowly escaped being put
out of business by the bolt and de-
scribed the sensation as similar to be
ing struck a heavy blow on the head.
It almost staggered him. but he man
aged to keep his feet, and in a dazed
sort of a way, realized after a moment
that he had been struck by lightning.
or so nearly struck that there WASH t
any fun in it. The top of the stack
was cracked. but not a great deal of
damage was done.
IN the city hall the sewer backed up
to such an extent that the water over
flowed in the washbowls on the main
floors. and the janitor had his hands
full for a while cleaning up.

East Chicago, Aug. 16.=Tabitha, the
oldest politician in the city hall. with
the exception of Walter Spencer. has
been restored unto her own after a
borrowing experience in which she
must have lost at least half a dozen Of
her sweet young lives. The cat had
been missing since Thursday morning.

for her relivery, albeit it was he who
was within an ace of being responsible
for her death

Hidden in Desk Drawer.

When Mr.. DeBraie entered his private
office in the city hall Saturday. after
being absent from it since Thursday
morning, he heard the faint me-owfng
Of a cat. He paid no attention to it,
thinking the sound came from the out
side and opened the desk TO go to work.
The mewing continued. and finally
Mayor DeBraie became convinced that
the sound was from somewhere about
his desk. He looked behind 1t, and
around it, but no sign of any cat
Finally he determined to make a thor
ough investigation. In this process he
opened the large bottom drawer of the
desk, which is divided in two compart-
ments by a partition And here in
the rear compartment, which is about
fifteen inches square crouched puss

barrels of beer not to mention the bot
tied beer and the whisky sold. Anoth-
er saloon man boosted that he took in
$500 and still another that his sales
were more than 81 900.
So outrageous had became the sun
day saloon business that the good citi-
zens Of Michigan city hired twelve de-
tectives from Cincinnati and these de-
tectives obtained evidence against the
saloon keepers. With each detective
was a local man who furnished the
names of witnesses in the places. and
the prosecutor it is understood, has
the names of more than one hundred
people who were seen in the saloons
visited by the detectives, and who viii
be used as witnesses not only in the
justices court at Laporte, but before
the grand jury.

EXT OSION
Coroner Gordon at Inquest
on Two Victims Finds
That All Rules to Prevent
Accident Had Beer Com
piled With.

In the inquest over the remains of
Nike Mccarthy and Joseph Kolda, who
We're killed I'm the explosion at the
Aetna powder mills Friday afternoon,
Coroner Gordon has one of the most pc
culiar cases which he has ever had to
deal with. Nothing but a deep gaping
hole in the ground remains Of the az
cident and most of the evidence was
blown blocks away.
An explosion of this character Dr.
Gordon says, makes it almost impos-
sibIe to determine the cause. 1t is
known generally what quantity of ex-
plosives are stored in that individual
place, but what caused it to explode
viii never be known. In that section
Of the plant there was 900 pounds of
dynamite and 500 pounds Of nitro
glycertne, according to the finding of
the coroner
No Blame on Company.
All that remained of Kolda after the
accidents was a few pieces of flesh,
about enough to fill an ordinary hat.
This, togther with the lacerated torn
body Of Mccarthy, was taken to Ho-
bart where the remains were placed in
a local morgue, DR.. Gordon started the
inquest Friday night and finished it
Saturday.
AS to the cause Of the explosion. the
coroner found THAI due precaution had
been taken by the officials of the plant
o proven an acciden of his character
The inquest showed that the machinery
had been carefully inspected and the
report to the office just previous to the
accident was 20. X" and this report
was verified.

LEGAL DECISIONS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

8urgIarious Entry Via Telephone
Pole-A rather novel case arose in
Jenkins V. Louisville Home Telephone
100 Southwestern Reporter,
27G, wherein plaintiff alleged that a
telephone pole had been placed so
near her residence. against her pro-
test, that a negro burglar had been
enabled TO climb into her window.
Immediately following his entry ne
assaulted and bruised her, threw car.
bolic acid into her eyes to prevent
his identification, and thus caused her
great mental and physical suffering.
The Kentucky Court of Appeals main
tanned that as any building, not a
nuisance. might have been erected on
the site of the pole, regardless of its
availability as means of burglarious
entry, no liability sprang from the
erection of the pole itself. Plaintiffs
duty was to secure ner windows and
take steps to protect her property
which she failed to perform.

TOBACCO AND BOYS.

A recent study Of the boys in the
four classes of a high school in a
community where the use of tobacco
is very prevalent among both men
and boys, showed the following facts
and figures One boy remained in
the fourth year class out of eight who
had started in the first year. and he
was not a user of tobacco. In the
third year class eight remained out of
twenty-six who had entered the first
year. OF these three out of the four
non users were doing good school
work while the four users were all
doing poor work The second year
class showed thirteen remaining out
out of the twenty-eight enrolled the
year before, and of these five out of
six abstainers were doing satisfac-
tory work and six out of seven smok.
