For what?
Why for The Sunday Stars party at
the Midway, 14th street and Park road
Ever since Monday the free admission
coupon" which was printed in The Sun
day Star, has spelled the open sesame at
the Midway for Star readers. Thousands
have taken advantage OF the opportuni-
ties offered for one or more afternoons of
solid pleasure.
Any one coupon was just as good as a
twenty-f1ve-cent ticket of admission to
she amusement pavilion between the
hours of pm and pm. during the
past three days. Coupons will be accepted
in lieu of money for the same hours to-
day and tomorrow.
From the size of the crowds which
have already been entertained by The
Star at the big fun-factory il would be
a natural supposition that the coupon
supply must have been entirely exhausted
by the rush OF pleasure seekers yester-
day. But late reports from tie Midway
this afternoon indicated that fully as
many, IL not more, would be found with

n The Los Angeles Examiner

From The Los Angeles Examiner.
Miss Clara True. superintendent and
special disbursing agent for the Mission
Indians in San Bernardino and Riverside
counties, came 10 Los Angeles To pur-
chase Christmas gifts for some of the In
dams under her supervision. The Indians
near Banning are planning for their reg
ular festivities on Christmas eve. They
feast upon barbecued beef and play In
dian games. Miss True said the morals
OF the Indians of the reservations had i'm
proved fully 80 per cent and that there
was noticeable Improvement in their
education and general condition. Dur
ing the last century the Indians in this
state have decreased at the rate of fifty
per day said Miss True. About the
time of the American occupation of the
state there We're about 10000 Indians.
Now we have 11.Up. This amazing de-
crease has been caused by starvation
constant eviction from their hunting

REFUSES TO RUN
ON A HOODOOED engine

The following week when No. 35
was taken out, everything ran smooth
ly, until one day when the train was
entering Bradford, Indiana, another
engine was side-swiped and consider
able damage done to both of the en-
gines. No one was hurt.
Xenia was the scene of the accident
to No. SO, this being a head-on col
lision. Both engines were badly dam
aged and the crew of both trains had
narrow escape. A number of pas
sengers were slightly injured by fly
ing glass and from being thrown from
their seats.
The most serious accident was last
week when train drawn by No. 81
was wrecked in the yards near Rich
mond, Indiana. Three persons were
killed in this wreck, all of them being
engineers. Two firemen were injured.
Both engines were badly damaged
Some inducements will probably be
made to have No. SS taken out on the
road.
