TO SETTLE SQUABBLE
County Assessor Will Inspect
Yards at Boston.

For the purpose of assessing the
hotel owned by Fitzgerald and com
pany, of Richmond, Va, located at the
c. & o. railroad yards near Boston,
and of determining whether the c. &
0. company should be assessed for six
tracks in the yards, William Mathews,
county assessor, will go to Boston to-
morrow.
The question as to whether the six
tracks were laid on March l of this
year was discussed by Harry Starr,
general counsel for the c. & o. of In
diana and VIII Porterfield, trustee of
Boston township, at a meeting at the
county assessors office last week, at
which Daniel Link and E. H. Wolcott,
state tax commissioners were present.
Starr held that the tracks had not
been laid, with the exception of l.
400 feet. for which the company was
already assessed. Porterfield con-
tended that the tracks had been laid
on March 1. The tax commissioners
instructed the county assessor to go to
the yards personally. and secure in
formation and to definitely settle the
matter.

BODY IS CLAIMED
Father of Pons Takes Body
to Cincinnati for Burial.

Upon the receipt of photographs of
Joseph Pons, the young soldier who
was crushed to death beneath the
wheels of an interurban on South
Eighth street Saturday night, sent by
Commander George Dodd, Of the Col
umbus, Ohio barracks, the father, Hen
ry Pons came to this. city today from
Cincinnati and informed the undertak-
er, who had charge of the body that
he would take it back with him.
The father, accompanied by son
and a Cincinnati undertaken came here
Sunday evening but after viewing the
body, said that he was not sure that it
was that of his son Joseph, who he
had mourned as a victim Of the 1ro-
quois fire in Chicago several years
ago. The father Immediately wired
Commander Dodd for photographs of
the Joseph Pons who had been sta
toned there. After receiving the
photograph the father concluded that
the man killed was his son. Funeral
services and burial will take place at

INMATE INJURIES
HIMSELF IN WARD
Insane Annex at County Jail
Has No Padded Cell for
Affected Ones.

The fallacy in the plans of construc-
Jail is becoming more apparent each
day. The ward, which was built ada
cent to the Jail proper has no padded
cell, there are no bars across the win
dows and the ventilation and sanitary
conditions are poor.
Yesterday Will Boren, an epileptic
who was placed in the ward recently,
having been brought here from Foun-
tain City to await admission to the
Epileptic Village north of New Castle,
injured himself severely.
Boren suffered an attack Of epilepsy
and fell, striking his head against the
brick wall and cutting a deep cash in
his head, from which he bled profuse-
in which Boren was confined and pick
ed him up, placing him on his cot. He
dressed his wound. Later Boren arose
and fell again striking his shoulder.
When the plans for the ward were
made there was no provision for a
padded cell, where one violently insane
or one subject to attacks of epilepsy
could be placed. This was not done, it
is said, because of suggestions made
to those in charge by a man we'll post
there is nothing to keep an insane man
from butting his brains out against
the hard walls.
