THE FARMER EXTRA
First Newspaper In Fair field County to Print the
 News of the Big Fight

True to that spirit of enterprise which has ever characterized it, The Farmer yesterday published an "ex- tra" giving in detail the story of the great battle of the gloves at Reno No matter what claim is made to the contrary The Farmers extra was the first to get to the street with the news of the fight. Minutes before our es- teemed contemporary rushed its first extras off it's press hundreds of Far mers were in the hands of the eager populace that congregated in the more thickly settled portions of the city. The suburbs of the city heard of the news by means of the extra tant parts by special automobiles. The Farmer was able to "beat" it's neighbor to it by reason of the fact that we are the only newspaper in this city that is served by the United Press, the keenest and most alert aft ernoon news service in America. What was true in Bridgeport is prac- tically true in other cities where the United Press serves newspapers. Ev- cry where the story is the same, the United Press papers being the first to give the news. Our contemporary did we'll under the circumstances but they are not to blame if their wire service fell down" when it should have stood up.'' During the pro- gress of the rounds of the fight we were two rounds ahead of the rival service. This can not be disputed. The truth simply stated is that The Farmers United Press dispatches hot from the ringside over our own wire which is part of the great system maintained by the United Press bought the news of each round sev- eral minutes quicker than did the ser vice of our rivals. We had the goods and delivered them before the other fellow was supplied with his. Bear this in mind. Whenever there is any happening of big importance in the news line to be told The Farmer will tell it well and tell it first. The Far mer's sale ran away up in the thou sands. For further information or real interest we commend to your perusal the following:

Associated Press and the Hearst ser vices.
 By use of the United Press direct ringside service the Washington Times was able to floor it's rivals for a general victory.
 Summing up, the Times said today. -Four minutes ahead with the mega phone. Seven minutes ahead with a complete extra. That describes the manner in which the Times, with the direct United Press ringside wire ser vice beat it's competitors in conveying the most important fight news of a generation to the waiting Washington enthusiasts. The first extra issued by the Star, Associated Press,) con- tained only ten rounds, and the Times with the full, complete 15 rounds ap- peared on the streets seven minutes ahead of it."
 The management of the Times was enthusiastic over the manner in which it was able to beat it's competitors through the services of the United Press. "I never have known any thing like it in my ten years of news paper experience" said Paul c. Pat terson, managing editor of the Times

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1910-01-19
(Amer1can news service)

Philadelphia, Jan. 19.-More than a
score of girls, trapped in a blazing
building are believed to have been kill
ed In fire in the Ellis block, Third
and Walnut streets in the heart of the
manufacturing district at noon today.
Two hundred girls and women were
employed in the building by several
firms. The fire started in the shirt
waist factory of Shedaker & Company.
Within half an hour the building was a
seething mass of flames. At twelve
thirty the police reported that five bod
les had been recovered. Trapped on
the upper floors, many employees
jumped in spite of the commands of
the firemen not to. Vast crowds sur
rounded the building during the noon
hour and greatly hampered the relief
and rescue work. Instantly after
the warning was sounded through the
building, orderly employees became a
frenzied mass of human beings fight
ing for their lives. Into Railways
they packed in solid groups, jamning
and clogging the stairs; biting,
scratching and kicking was INDUCED
in while others shrieked for help and
mercy. Many rushed to the windows
and leaped, sustaining serious, II not
fatal injuries.

It IS COMPLICATED
Father Offers to Have His Son
Marry Girl, But the
Law Objects.
GIRL ALLEGED TOO YOUNG

An offer has been made by Thomas
Winters Of Cambridge City to have
his nineteen year old son marry Miss
Jeanette Dinger. age 16, also of Cam
bridge City but unless the parents
of the Dinger girl give their consent
and also swear that the girl is over
is years old, the license will not be
issued by the county clerk.
Prosecuting Attorney Charles Ladd
states that the girls mother told him
she would not be 16 until May. This
alone would prevent the marriage be-
cause the law does not permit the is
suance of a marriage license to a girl
under Is years of age. Mr.. Ladd stated
today that the affidavit against the
Dinger girl, charging her with delin-
quency would be nollied II the mar
riage was solemnized.

With the Greatest Fortitude
She Prepares to Receive
Her Sons Body.
SUFFERS GREATEST AGONY
BODY OF EXECUTED MAN AR
RIVED HERE THIS AFTERNOON
FROM COLUMBUS FUNERAL
TO BE HELD, FRIDAY.

Haggard and worn from the effects
of her intense mental anguish, but
bearing up gallantly under the terrible
torment she was called upon to bear,
Mrs. Mary Rife of Boston. Ind. moth
er of Harry Rife, electrocuted at mid
night at the Ohio penitentiary, today
prepared to receive the body of her
son, which was shipped from Colum-
bus this forenoon.
Mrs. Rife spent sleepless night"
said one Of her intimate friends to a
Palladium reporter this morning, "but
she has borne up bravely. She has
been in i'll health for some time and
1t was thought the execution of her
son might bring about a nervous col
lapse, consequently her remarkable
fortitude has surprised all Of her
friends. expect there are but very
few people who are called upon to
suffer such agony as Mrs. Rife ex-
perienced last night-a mothers
knowledge that her son was to be put
to death and that she could not he at
his side for a last farewell and to
give him words of cheer. Oh. it is
awful.
Receives Last Letter.
'Mrs. Rife received a last letter
from Harry. but I do not know its con-
tents. In previous letters she had
received from him-he wrote to her
once week while confined in the
penitentiary-he had told her, and he
also told friends who had visited him
at the prison, that, personally, he pre-.
fesred death to life Imprisonment,
but that If It would be any consola-
tion to his mother for him to live the
remainder of his life as convict, he
would do so, providing his sentence
was commuted. The calm manner in
which he received the news that Gov.
ernor Harmon had refused the peti.
tions of his relatives shows to my
mind that the information was not
unwelcome to him.
Mrs. Rife has told me that she
thought the death penalty was exces.
sive in the case Of her son. She did
not uphold him In his crime and re
cognized the fact that he should be
punished for 1t but she did not think
the punishment inflicted fitted the
crime"
The body Of Harry Rife will be
laid to rest in the cemetery at Boston
Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock and the
