have never been required to get a
clear order before proceeding and the

in allowing such a practice to con-
tinue. No regular train is due for

ira trains are infrequent on the North

An investigation conducted Fri
day afternoon in the office of Palm
er Trimble. general attorney of the
Burlington in this city, exonerated the
switching crew and other employees
connected with the movement of the

for fifteen years to let the switching
train go down as it did and this is
the first time in about 10000 that
such an accident would occur, No one
foresaw that sometime such an acct
dent was liable to happen and it is
the general practice of years that is
at fault.
Mr.. Trimble conducted the investi-
cation on the part of his cwn office
and separate investigation will be
conducted by the operating depart
ment.

.LAkEWOODS CLOSED
FOR SUMMER SEASON
Popular Park Is Hit Hard
by the Unfavorable and
Chilly Weather.

October-like weather which has pre-
vailed since the first part of July caus-
ed the management of Lakewoods park
to close it's doors for the 1912 season.
This action followed an an-day
meeting of the board of directors held
at the park yesterday. One reason
that contributed toward the hasten
ing of the decision to close was heavy
damages done to the electrical ap-
paratus during the first part OF the
week.
Last year the park did not close un-
til way late in September. However,
amusement park men throughout the
country are complaining about the
profitable weather.
According to Manager Seltzer of the
park it will be reopened next season on
a much larger scale. Extension of the
air line to adjoining Northern Indiana
points, 1t is believed, will result in pa
tronage from these places next year

Valuable Manuscript Left by Colonel
Burnaby Defied the Efforts
of Experts.

II was stated at the time of Colonel
Burnaby's death that he had left be.
hind him the manuscript of a novel,
for which there was considerable com.
petition among the publishers.
This is quite true. The manuscript,
a bulky parcel, was handed to me
with discretionary power either to
publish IL myself or to use IL in con-
nection with the proposed biography
Here a singular and, as it finally
proved. fatal obstacle presented IT,
self. Familiar for many years with
Burnaby's handwriting, / could not
after diligent endeavor make out more
than sentence here and there on the
crowded page Of manuscript.
Burnaby's writing was, possibly

before sitting down to write a letter
he had pulled twig out of the hedge,
mixed little backing and then gone
ahead.
He wrote the whole Of his ride to
Khiva" and his Ride on Horseback
Through Asia Minor" with his own
hand. But before they reached the
printer they were fairly written out
by copyist.
The hapless man used to make out
as much as he could, then leave
blanks, for filling up which he had to
seek the assistance of the author.
Sometimes there were more blanks in
page than words.
Despairing of making anything of
the manuscript of the novel, it was
submitted to a publisher, who turned
upon 1t his most skillful decipherist.
Neither head nor tail could be made

WE beg the indulgence of our
readers this week, if The True
Northerner does not quite come
up to its usual standard. This
being the week in which occurs
our natal day, we, as is our usual
custom, give holiday to all
connected with the office, and as
a consequence we were obliged
to go to press one day earlier
than usual. Trusting that our
short comings this week, may be
overlooked, we will endeavor to
more than compensate in the
future.
