ASKS DAMAGES OF
TRACTION COMPANY
William Weatherby Brings
Suit for Injuries That
He Sustained.

Suit was filed today against the
Terre Haute, Indianapolis and East
ern Traction Co, demanding $4,000 for
injuries sustained by William Wealth
erby who was injured by one of the
city cars July 8, while digging a
trench across North Eighth street for
the Richmond City Water Works Co.
The injuries sustained by Weatherby
consisted of several bruises and his
central nerve system impaired. His
eyesight is defective as the result of
the accident, he alleges.
Weatherby was in bed for three
weeks following the accident and was
not in condition to work until four
weeks later.
According to the complaint the mo-
torman did not ring the bell or give
any warning signal though Weatherby
was standing directly in front of the
car. The car was being driven at an
unlawful rate of speed, the plaintiff
alleges.
Only thirty five marriage licenses
were issued last month by the county
clerk. This number is lower than the
average number of licenses issued
each month. AS many as 155 hunters
licenses were taken out by sportsmen
during August.

A DOG QUARANTINE
BEING CONSIDERED
Another Dog Which Died of
Rabies Makes This Move
Very Probable.

Health Commissioner J. e. King is
considering placing quarantine on
the dogs of Wayne and Boston town
ships. This action is being considered
by DR.. King owing to the fact that
another dog south of town has died
of rabies as the result of being bitten
by the strange dog that passed through
the neighborhood the middle of last
month, and attacked a number of dogs
and livestock.
The last dog to develop the disease
belonged to Walter Farlow, residing
four miles south of town on the Lib
erty pike, which died Monday of ra-
hies. The dog began to act strangely
four days before it's death, and was at
once placed in close confinement. So
far as known, no one was attacked
by the dog, but a number of hogs were
bitten before he was chained up.
The Farlow dog was infected by the
same animal whose bite caused the
dog belonging to William Backmeyer
to go made an attack four people.
Owing to the fact that the disease
develops in periods of different
lengths, the Backmeyer dog went mad
almost two weeks before the other
dog, which was bitten the same day

ANOTHER TRACTION
DEAL IN PROSPECT
Richmond and Eastern Off
GERS Consult With Agents
of Another Line.

Transferring the survey of the Rich
mond & Eastern Indiana Traction
company over to promoters who are
figuring on building a traction line
from South Bend to Cincinnati, will
be discussed at a meeting of stock
holders of the local company, TO be
called some time in the near future.
The exact status of the new trac-
ton project can not be learned at
this time At the monthly meeting of
the Commercial club held Monday
evening, representatives c. out-of-town
capital appeared to take up the propo-
sition with the directors of the Com
mercial club.
While the CONNIE rcial club was di-
rectly responsible for the organization
of the traction company, there is no
connection between the two, and the
directors declined to enter into a dis
cussion of the subject, but referred
the visitors to the officers of the trac-
ton company.
Will Call a Meeting.
1t is understood that the meeting
of the stockholders of the company
Will De Called IOF some udle wien II
will be convenient for these men to
attend.
Sharon E. Jones, president of the
Richmond and Eastern Indiana Trac-
ton company, was very reticent to-
day in discussing the proposed deal.
He stated that he had been intro
duced to the men who had attended
the meeting of the Commercial club
but that he had forgotten their names
or whence they came but thought that
at least one of them lives in Indiana
polls.
When pressed for their object in
visiting the city he stated that they
were merely here looking over the
Hamilton to Portland line from the
standpoint of the investor. When
asked if the report was true that
there might be an extension of the
line now proposed from Hamilton to
Portland he disclaimed any such know.
ledge, but added that if such were the
case the local company would most
certainly receive proper reimburse
ment if it sold out to another and
larger company.

AUTOMOBILE ORDER
ISSUED BY CORMON
To Enforce New State Traf-
fic Law Beginning To-
night, He States.

That the local automobile and motor
cycle owners have had plenty of time
to confirm with the state law, which
took effect August /, regarding lights
and signals and licenses of automo-
bles and motorcycles, is the statement
of Chief of Police Gormon, who will
issued an order tonight to patrolmen
to see that the new law is enforced
by arresting those not complying with
its provisions.
The chief also believes that the
owners of automobiles and motorcy-
Giles should be prosecuted for using too
bright a light in the city streets, where
a searchlight is really not not needed.
He believes that only enough light
should be used on automobiles in the
city to conform with the law and to
warn approaching vehicles without
binding pedestrians.
The law provides that the rear lights
of machines shall be SO placed as to
cast white light on the license plate,
making it readable for 100 feet The
two front lights are supposed to be
kept burning at least dimly from one
hour after sunset until one hour be-
fore sunrise, if the machine is in use
during those hours.
Many persons are in ignorance of
the fact that they are disobeying a
state law and are liable to prosecu-
ton if they leave their motors run
ming while they enter a store to shop,
or leave the machine unattended by
the regular driver. Probably this fea-
ture of the new law is violated more
| than any other and the police have in
formed many persons of it.

PUTS BAN AGAINST
CONFETTI THROWING

Believing that confetti throwing
makes crowds unruly, Chief of Police
Gormon last night put a ban on this
practice at the carnival grounds. The
chief stated that the amusement had
been source of annoyance to many
and there were several near fights as
the result of the cut paper being
thrown in women's faces. Several per
sons were struck with stones which
were thrown in with confetti. scooned
from the ground. Three stands were
selling it and were closed up on the
chiefs orders.
