A REAL CUTE PRANK
Y. N. C. A. Cut-ups Bombard
Pedestrians With Eggs
Saturday Evening.

A prank" In the dormitory section
OF the Young Mems Christian associa.
ton was perpetrated Saturday evening
with satisfactory an Unsatisfactory
results. The prank was satisfactory
in that Albert Medearis had his coat
spoiled by an egg bombardment.
Several of the dormitory members of
theassociation assembled in one of the
rooms on the third floor about dusk
Saturday evening. They seemed well
supplied with eggs-fresh, not rotten.
Every pedestrian was target. real
efforts being made to hit the men, but
only to brighten the women. Albert
Medearis was one Of the first to pass
and he received an egg on his new
coat, right between the shoulders.
He, accompanied by his companion
was bent on cleaning OUT the associa-
ton. Secretary Goodwin was visited
and demand made that he be given a
new coat. The official for the asso-
citation tried to compromise by prom
Using that the coat would be cleaned
Neither OF the parties were able to ef-
lect IN agreement. 1t is probable that
the egs throwers will be expelled from
No dormitory.

A JOB FOR AUDITOR

The various township assessors,
with the exception Of Charles Potter,
of Wayne township, made returns Of
the assessments of personal property
and additional real estate improve
mnts, to the county auditor today. The
work Of compiling the assessments for
Wayne township, which includes the
city of Richmond, is a heavy task and
cannot be completed at the same time
that the other townships are. How
ever. Assessor Potter and his assist
ants will have all returns completes
within the next day or two. No fig
ures can be given out until the county
auditor has completed an abstract OF
the annual assessment which will nos
be for several weeks. In most town
ships and Incorporated towns, how
ever, there were substantial gains ov-
er the 1909 assessment The Board
of Review will meet in annual ses-
sion on June 6 and will be in session
for thirty days. All Incorporated COM
panies will be assessed by the board
in addition to reviewing the personal

Eureka Fence Company Has
Dissolved Corporation as
the Result.
1T IS NOW PARTNERSHIP
NEW FEDERAL LAW WAS OBJEc-
TiONABLE TO THE LOCAL CON-
cERN-lTs CONDITION is QUITE
FLOURlSHlNG.

Because of a special revenue tax
law recently passed which provides
that corporations shall make annual
reports to the government, the Eureka
Fence company of this city, located at
North Twenty-second and E street, has
filed notice of dissolution of the cor
poration with the secretary of state at
Indianapolis, and hereafter will con-
tinue in business as partnership con-
Germ.
Nj. A Wilson. president of the COM
pany, stated that there were several
reasons for disseminating as corpora
ton. AS corporation the company in
the past has been compelled to make
annual reports to the staete auditor,
and county auditor as we'll, and this
inconvenience will not be necessary
when the concern is organized as a
partnership. Mr.. Wilson stated that
the company was in a flourishing con-
dition and the change would make no
apparent difference whatever as far as
the public was concerned as the manu-
featuring business would be continued
along exactly the same lines as in the
past.

Chairman Hammond of Board
of Works Will Advise Such
Precautions Be Taken.
ASSIST THE POLICE
MERCHANTS PETITION FOR
LIGHTS DENIED BECAUSE CITY
OFFICIALS THOUGHT THEY
SHOULD BEAR THE EXPENSE.

Believing that the Main street mer-
chants should protect their places of
business by placing small incandes-
cent light to be left burning all night
in the alley in the rear of their stores,
Homer Hammond president of the
board of public works, will visit the
different merchants along that thor
oughfare this week and endeavor to
persuade them to install light OF
this nature as an aid to the police.
The value such a light would have as
a means of protecting the merchants
from burglary is apparent, according
to Mr.. Hammond and Chief of Police
Gormon. 1t is alleged that by the ex-
penditure of very few cents each
night the danger OF having their places
of business entered by burglars would
be greatly lessened. 1t is frequently
sible for the policemen to see down
them beyond few feet. and the
thieves, under cover of the intense
darkness, are given just the oppor-
tunity for which they have been wait
ing to enter the store without diff
Guilty and with little fear of detection.
Several days ago the merchants on
the south side of Main street between
Seventh and Eighth streets presented
a petition to the board of works re-
uuesting that light be left burning
all night in the alley between these
two streets. at the expense of the city.
The petition was given the deaf ear
on the ground that it was the mer-
chants who profited by such an ar
rangement and therefore should bear
the expense. Mr.. Hammond has been
studying over the matter since then
and is of the opinion that by the prop
er persuasion the merchants in the bus
mess district on Main street can be in
duced to realize the Importance and
value attached to the installation of a
small electric light in the dark alleys
in the rear of their stores and follow
the example set by merchants in other
cities in this particular where such
methods of warding off thieves has
been adopted with a degree of great
success.

The Terre Haute, Indianapolis and
Eastern traction officials who were
given their choice between comforting
with the board today or waiting UNI
til Thursday, concerning the removal
OF the tracks in the Glen, apparently
are going to wait until the last day,
as they failed to put in an appearance
this morning. In event they fail to
show up Thursday. the board will or.
der the tracks torn up Immediately, it
is said. as ample opportunity has been
given the officials to explain why this
course should not be adopted and
they have failed to avail themselves
of it.
The city attorney was instructed to
draw up a resolution for the closing OF
the Gaar bridge temporarily until
some needed repairs are completed.
