WILL EIGHT HEADLIGHT ORDER
Indiana Railroad Resents State Elec-

Indiana Railroad ReseDts State Elec-
trio Light Requirements.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad filed
in the United States circuit court at
Indianapolis a bill against the state
railroad commission, asking for re-
straining order and perpetual injunc-
ton preventing the commission from
enforcing the ruling made by it re-
quiring railroads to equip their loco
motives. in road service, with head
lights of $500 candle power.
Practically all of the railroads
crossing the state of Indiana have
been notified by the railroad commits
sion that they must install such head
lights as the B. & o. company declines
to provide. There was a hearing sew
eral weeks ago before the state COM
missioners when an extension of time
in which to make the change was de-
MED. AT that time the railroads in
terested appointed a committee to con-
slider the question. That committee
formulated tentative agreement that
all of them should take steps to resist
in legal form the mandate of the rail-
road commissioners. 1t was agreed,
too, that the B. & o. should be the
first company to resist formally The
statement is made unofficially that the
Wabash, with the other lines interest
ed, will come into court and ask that
the commissioners be restrained in
their effort to enforce what is de-
clared to be an unreasonable order.

MAY HAVE HYDROPHOBIA.
Abilene Family Go to Topeka Hospital
for Treatment.

Abilene Family Go to Topeka Hospital
for Treatment.
Abilene, Kan, Feb. 10.-Miss Emma
Vinson of this city, accompanied by
her brother Oscar, and her mother,
have gone to Topeka, where they en-
tered a hospital. It is feared that
hydrophobia will result from wounds
inflicted by a cat.
Mrs. vinson, with Emma and Oscar,
were visiting last week at the home
of Mr. Mcdowell, a farmer near In
dustry, when the accident occurred.
Emma vinson was coming up from the
cellar when the cat sprang and bit her
on the arm. Her cries attracted Oscar
and her mother, who were painfully
scratched about the face and hands in
attempting to force the cat to loosen
her hold on the girls arm. 1t was
necessary to choke the cat to death to
release the giyl.
The body of the animal was sent to
the state Agricultural college for ex-
animation on the advice of DR.. Lewis
of Industry. The chemists of Manhat-
tan advised immediate treatment, SO
all three of them left as soon as pos
sible for Topeka, where they will re-
ceive expert medical treatment.

A Poor Memory.

A Canadian farmer noted for his alb

and transacted his business with the
utmost precision. He started on his
way home however, with the firm con-
viction that he had forgotten some
thing. but what it was he could not
recall. As he neared home. the con-
viction increased and three times he
stopped his horse and went car efully
through his Docketbook in vain en-
deavor to discover what he had for
gotten. In due course he reached home
and was met by. his daughter. who
looked at him in surprise and ex-
claimed. -'Why, father, where have you

SANTA FE IMPROVES LA JUNTA
Expenditures Planned Amount to Over
$4,000.

La Junta, Colo, Feb. 10-From the
best of authority it is learned that it
is the intention of the Santa Fe to
build a new general Office building and
a new freight depot in La Junta dur
ing the present year. The contem-
plated improvements will probably in
volve an expenditure of $4,000 or
$50, 900. New car shops are also talked
of. With twenty-three passenger trains
passing through La Junta every day
1t is apparent that the Santa Fee needs
more yard room. With half a dozen
or more trains here at once, and only
four tracks to do business on it is ap-
parent that something will have to be
done right away to relieve the conges-
ton.
