he regarded Ballinger as a material

him upon other matters than the doc

Young Negro, While Operating
a Machine, Gets Skin
Caught in Cogs.
ACCIDENT A PECULIAR ONE
WHILE AWAITING ARRIVAL OF
PHYSICIAN, WOUND WAS Ex-
POSED TO DIRT AND GREASE,
MAKING IT DANGEROUS.

In assisting in the operation of an
electrical horse clipping machine, in
the barn of Charles Zuttermeister, 634
North Tenth street, yesterday after
noon, about 3 o'clock, Earl Gilmer. a
twenty year old colored boy caught
the skin of his right arm in the cogs
of the machine and it was necessary
for the attending physician to re-
lease his arm by cutting off the skin,
held in the cogs.
The young man was taken to his
home, Gil South Twelfth street. and
although he is resting easier, it is
feared that the injury will give him
much trouble. inasmuch as it was
several minutes before the arrival of
the physician and the dirt and grease
in the machine filled the wounds.
How Accident Happened.
Gilmer had been working with the
machine all afternoon and had his
sleeves rolled up. He attempted to
reach over the machine for some pur-
pose and the skin on the right arm,
between the wrist and the elbow. was
pull his arm away or the machine
could be stopped, a large portion OF
the skin was firmly embedded in the
cogs.
It was impossible to release the
young man from his painful position
by taking apart the machine. Meth
err could the machine be reversed in
order to effect the release. The at
tending physician, consequently had
to free the arm by a surgical oper-
alton. A strip of skin about two in
ches wide and four inches long was
cut away. After the wound had been
washed, fourteen stitches were taken.
Young Gilmer, suffered from the
most excruciating pain but did not
faint. He yelled SO loudly that his
screams could be heard for a distance
of two or three squares.

WEATHER RECORD
BROKEN THURSDAY

/, All records for March were broken
yesterday, when the mercury in the
government thermometer at the water
works pumping station recorded So de-
grees. According to Official Weather
Observer Walter Vossler, never in his
thirteen years. experience in taking the
daily weather observations, has he wit
messed such phenomenal conditions for
March. The nearest approach to this
record breaking temperature was in
1907 when the thermometers registered
81 degrees Mr.. Vossler stated that
the official records for Indiana dated
back to 1884, but in all that time the
mercury never scared up the tube in
March as high as it did yesterday.
1t was positively hot yesterday.
Persons were walking about the city,
hopping their brows and carrying
their coats Just like it was summer.
No straw hats were noticed on the
streets but they would have been ap-
propriate and the wearers doubtless
would have been subjected to no ridi-
Guile whatever. Several of the ther-
mometers on Main street in the sun
registered as high as 100 degrees and
some of them even went beyond this
mark. *@&
1t is somewhat cooler today, but ev-
en- at that the liquid stood at Is de-
grees at noon. Not a cloud in the sky
and with the sun shining warm and
brightly it is a beautiful day-the
kind of day that breeds the spring
fever germ and causes that lazy feel
ing to steal over even the most ener-
getically inclined.

Rev. William Ritter's Body in Gel

Rev. William Ritter's Body in Gel
lar, Wo1nan's in Sitting Room.
Rev. William Ritter and his aged
wife were found murdered in theiI
home, one-half mile east of Elnora,
Ind, at 4 o'clock the other afternoon,
and the entire county is aroused to a
fever of excitement. The woman lay
full length on the floor of the sitting
room, her head toward tho fireplace
and her hair disheveled.
She was in her bare feet. and had
probably made ready to retire when
the crime was committed. There are
no marks upon her body, and many
persons believe she was choked to
death. The body of the aged minister
was found at the foot of the stairway.
He was lying in a heap, as If he had
been thrown dow the stairs. Both
bodies were stiff, and there Is no way
of telling when the couple was slain,
They were seen alive last Friday,
when Milford Ketchum n his wife,
who made their home with Mr.. and
Mrs. Ritter, left the house to go to
Burns City to spend Christmas with
Mrs. Ketchum's parents. They returned
he other afternoon and found the min
lister and his wife dead. Apparently
no attempt was made at robbery.
Ritter, although well-to-do. owning
100 acres Of the best land in Daviess
County, never kept much money in
his home, and what little there was
in the house was not disturbed. The
old couple have two children, John w.
Ritter of Indianapolis and Mrs. Eliza

The train was derailed at $40, while

of the injured also were in this car.
All the passengers in the burned Pull
man escaped, and aside from bruises
and slight cuts, none Of these were
hurt. The number Of those who LOST
their lives in the tourist car IS IN
doubt. None is known to have escaped
from this car, and it is believed all OF
its passengers were cremated. Inc
