SHE THOUGHT
IT WAS FUNNY

w. S. Mitchell, superintendent of
agents in the Northern States Insur-
ance company, sacrificed his motor car
and endangered his life yesterday only
to be laughed at.
This cruel incident took place on
quiet and sedate Charlotte avenue.
Mitchell was driving his machine at
fair speed when an aged woman step
ped from the curb, directly in his path.
With impulsive heroism the insur-
ance man shot the car over the curb.
1t crashed against an electric light
pole, wrecking the mechanism from
hood to tail light.
Mitchell himself was badly bruised
and suffered an intense nervous shock.
Imagine his surprise when the shrill
laughter of an old woman reached his
ears.
The lady thought it funny.

took the pigskin within two feet of
Morrocco's goal but the failure of the
referee to blow his whistle for ten sec

Morocco consented to give Hammond
a return game, much to their delight

development possibilities during the
next few years. Attorney Peter Crum-
packer. the republican mayoralty can
didate, has decided to open his cam
paign there. The first meeting is
booked for Woycinskis hall on Towle
street for Friday evening. On Satur-
day night a republican meeting will be
held at Hatt's hall in Robertsdale. Mr..
Crumpacker will speak at both and
some of the other republican candi-
dates are also expected to be there.
Inasmuch as the republican ticket Is
pledged to a platform which deals with
the deep sewer system, canal dock
age, river development and other pol
icies of vital interest to a north side
property owner and is committed to
cooperate with the various improve
ment associations, a big attendance of
taxpayers irrespective of party is
looked for.
In his speech of acceptance, a week
ago last Wednesday. Mr.. Crumpacker
Indicated that he would have some
things to say to the voters in which
they would be much interested. One
thing sure; the audience will hear a
an acute mind. without having to lis
ten to any abuse and personalities. The
meeting therefore promises to be
doubly interesting to the taxpayer who
has his own and the city's welfare at
heart.
The progressives and the socialists
have both held north side meetings al
ready.
The republicans gave further evil
dence this week that they mean busi-
ness by. beginning work on the poll.
and IN another week this is expected to
be complete. The progressives have
not yet taken any steps toward max

FARMER
TRAPPED
BY GATES

Alexander Myres. a farmer living at
Highland. was trapped at the Fayette
street crossing of the Monon today. He
narrowly escaped when the horse he
was driving ran away.
Myres claims that a fagman mo-
toned for him to proceed across the
tracks and that the gates We're drap-
ped on him when he did so. One gate
broke the farmers arm and bruised his
head and shoulders His horse ran wild
across the tracks
The fortunate part of the incident is
that the Monon passenger had not left
the Sibley street station, two blocks
away Myres is of the opinion that
the hurried lowering of the gates was
entirely unnecessary.

the board The nail was then pushed
upward until the head could be caught
with the snips and drawn out The
young man stood the painful ordeal
heroically.
