gressive city convention last evening
with criticism for the daily papers and
a heated reputation of the present ad-
ministration, w. c. Belman, cashier of
the First National Bank, sounded the
call of the moose for the second time
within a year
The response was much the same
though more in unison. A hundred
and forty-two men were there when
the balloting started and a hundred
and two votes were cast for mayor.
At the close eighty-five remained and
of these seventy-eight voted for alder
at-large The applause was most
liberal when the name of Alfred
Simons was mentioned for mayor. The
convention seemed entirely satisfied
with that choice and made it unani-
nous after the ballot showed Simons
an easy winner.

FEW COTTON THREADS
SAVE MAN FROM DEATH

was desperate in his attempts to save
the other and until the hurting of
ropes from the top of a neighboring
building started and he saw that he
could do nothing would he consent to
leave. When he was told that Many
had been saved Horak cried like a
child. The hero in him stood out above
everything else for he ignored his own
injuries even though he did not know
but what he was about to die.
Fell Like A wounded DUAL.
Dr. Doolittle. the examining physi-
clan could not believe his own eyes
Not a bone broken. nothing but
bruises to the skin. What a wonder"
he exclaimed. Horak smiled family.
Now I know" he said. how a quail
feels when it's wing is pierced by a
bullet and 1T drops out of the skies"
When Nanny reached safe footing he
was praying. Hand over hand he trav-
eled q perlious route through the air
on rope that he had secured to a pro-
jecting board that offered but little
security. There wasn't a minute that
did not promise death. From the time
the scaffold which the workmen were
disembering fell apart plunging Horak
to the ground his companion was q
strasstraw in the hands of fate.
Neither Were Steeple Jacks.
The accident occurred at three
o'clock. Horak and Nanny had started
at the top of the new constructed hun
dred and twenty-five foot chimney at
noon and were working fast in tear
ing down the scafold. They were not
professional steeple jacks or chimney
builders but were working for the
General Construction Company as
masons.
Though the air had terrors for them
both were brave and did not show their
nervousness except In the care they
exercise. 1t was just case of knock
ing loose the support upon which they
stood very deliberately without rea1iz-
ing the danger.
Their voices engaged in sketchy
monosylables had been heard at differ
ent times during the sunny September
afternoon by workmen on the ground

Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Whiting, Ind, Sept. 2O.-Whiting
gazed upward in horror yesterday aft
ernoon at the body of a man which for
three hours and fifteen minutes hung
suspended by cotton threads sixty-six
feet above the earth with nothing but
atmosphere to intervene. The man was
alive and conscious.
Huddled on the cinder packed
ground lay the body of another who
had dropped a. distance of sixty-sx
feet. He was alive and the physi-
clans examining him cried out in
astonishmbent: mo bones are broken
and he will live!" the word went out.
Could his companion. who seemed
doomed to fall escape as easily. 1t
looked impossible.
One Chance In Thousand.
The man in the air. a brick mason
named Edward Nanny, hung by threads
of his clothing from a projecting piece
of a scaffold that had broken at the
top of a giant smoke stack which had
just been completed. AS the equili-
brium shifted threads would break and
Nanny had less support at the end of
every few minutes.
Rope Comes To Him, Then Falls Away.
The situation struck terror to the
hearts of workmen for the Standard
Oil Company who first gathered and
their cries and calls attracted an ever
increasing crowd. The city of Whit
ing practically dropped all thought of
business to watch the fight with death.
1t was only after hundred and nine
ty-five dizzy, reeling. death-like min
utes that rope was thrown to him
after hundreds of attempts when 1t
sometimes fell shortly only by inches.

appointment that caused men to be-
