AS the Clock Strikes Twelve
Steady Chorus of Snoring
Interrupted BY Two Alarm
ing Explosions

At the corner of Eighth and Main
streets last night, silence reigned.
From the Y. M. C. A. dormitory, no
shaft of light pierced the darkness.
In the halls only the gentle SHORES
of the sleepers cleft the air. 1t was
an ideal situation for some dark and
bloody crime to be committed!
Suddenly the silence was shattered
when two shots rang out, coming
from a room in the North side of the
time, a crowd of 100 excited persons
of Help! Help!" in an agonized
vioce followed.
The dorm" men in the building,
wondered what had disturbed them
from their slumbers.
Then came the realization. ImmediL:
ately IS of the roomers simultaneously
realizing that their help might be
needed by someone in distress, jumped
from their beds and in their night
clothing, scurried into the halls.
Thought 1t Murder.
One of the more eXcitable, unable
to restrain himself, shouted that some
one had been shot and possibly killed.
The now thoroughly awakened men
hastily formed pajama search party
and began to make an investigation.
A few night owls and persons re-
turning from dances or other gather
ings, were on Main street and now the
air was full of their shouts and hurry

Walter Pierson and Hubert Burden,
both colored, and Alva Brown were
fined 81 and costs each in police court
this morning for intoxication. The
three men were unable to move last
night when arrested and it required
four men to place Burden in the pa,
troll wagon because of his helpless con.
dition.
Burden attempted to get around the
charge this morning because the aft
davit for his arrest was made out
Herbert" instead of Hubert" and he
told the court that they had arrested
the wrong man. The affidavit was
changed and he pleaded guilty.

MAIN STREET GETS
REAL SHOCK FROM
REAL TANGO GOWN
FRIDAY AFTERNOON

Sedate Main street was given a
thorough shock yesterday afternoon
when a combination of the directoire,
split, slashed, X-ray, shadow and dia-
phanous Partisan gowns was seen on
the street. No, the gown wasn't in the
display window of a fashion shop.
but was worn by a living model
Apparently unmindful of the scores
of staring eyes, OF the raising of office
windows and the consequent popping
of heads from the aforementioned
windows, the woman with the slashed
skirt wendell her way through the con-
stantly increasing crowds on the thor
oughfare. BY the time she had arrived
at Ninth and Main streets the crowd
had increased to such proportions that
the traffic patrolman at the corner one
square west hurried to the scene.
"Wot-tell's goin' on" interrogated the
traffic cop, gasping for breath.
"Oh, nothing; it's just a second cous-
in of Eve taking a stroll down the
STEM" replied a man standing near
Ninth.
Now even coppers, who are thrown
up against all kinds of people and
propositions may blush. And they are
human, too. So what could he do?
Absolutely nothing but allow the mir
age to continue her way west on the
street and to allow the crowd to fol-
low. Finally she stopped, looked
around, and fell" for the fact that she
was causing quite a commotion. OF
course that made her real angry.
"Brutes." she said as a crowd of
men gazed at her. Hurrying to a tele-
Ahone booth she called taxi.

MUNICIPAL PLANT
MAY Be INSTALLED
Several Centerville Citizens
Object to T. H., |. & E.
Offer.

Three bids, two of them for the con-
struction of municipal plant at Cen
terville, are under the consideration
of the town board. A meeting was
held last night at which representa-
tives of the Richmond Electric Com
pany of this city and the Varney Elec-
trio Supply Co. of Indianapolis, were
present to submit bids.
The local concern proposed in their
bid to build a plant to supply Center
vile with electric light for about fifty
three hundred dollars, and the Indian
apolis company bid about fifty-five
hundred dollars to do the same work
The exact amounts are not known nor
the details of the two bids.
The Terre Haute, indianapolis &
Eastern Traction company proposes to
supply Centerville with electricity for
lights from the high tension wires at
this rate: for the amount of electricity
used annually between 500 and 1000
lsilowatts, it will cost four cents per
kilowatt; between 1000 and 1900,
three and half cents per kilowatt,
and above 1900, three cents per kilo
watt.
The demonstrators against the con-
tract submitted by the traction COM
pany favor the electricity being sup
piled by separate and distinct cor
poration and for that reason bids were
examined at the session last night On
next Tuesday night another meeting
will be held and at that time it is prob
able the decision of the town board
will be made.

ing footsteps. In an incredibly short
time, a crowd of 100 excited persons
were on the corner, hoping that they
would be able to boast later that they
had been one of the first witnesses on
hand at a fatality.
Then two policemen appeared and
the crowd drew back in awe as the
guardians of the law boldly entered
the building Twenty-Five daredevil
spectators braved the evident danger
and followed the policemen.
Guard The Officers.
They were met on the steps leading
to the third floor by the pajama
search squad IS strong. The two par
ties joined forces, and falling in be-
hind at a safe distance, in order to
bolt should there be sign of danger,
they followed the brave patrolmen
around, making an inspection of each
room.
Nothing unusual was found and no
evidence of crime was discovered. By
the time the search was half over, and
the party ready to go to the fourth
and last floor, a great cry came up
! from the A street side of the building.
Everyone rushed to the windows.
Below, two young men were seen,
each holding aloft for the inspection
of the crowd the remains of two giant
firecrackers. Then the late stragglers.
realizing that they had been duped,
stormed the building to find the jok-
ers.
But as yet, no trace of him who rob-
bed those tired young men of an hours
sleep and startled even the police, has
been found. There are faint whisper
ings, however, among the dorm men
and it is to be believed that should
this unprincipled william be found,
there will be another riot call at the
"Y."
