employees of the Indianapolis Traction
and Terminal Co. Special trains
brought the troops under hurried or
ders and they were detrained in the
suburbs. virtually, surrounding the
town. Great secrecy was maintained
as to the movement and arrival of the
militia and few citizens even knew
that they had been called out, until
late today.
The trains, bringing the troops,
were stopped outside of Indianapolis
by officers of the National Guard and
given directions.
All companies were held when they
arrived until they were of such num-
Der that 1t was deemed safe to brins
them into the city. This was done to
prevent any clash with the strikers

been called out, were on the down.

The troops will not begin duty I'M

In the meantime, Indianapolis more
nearly resembles a huge military camp

JIMMY ATE HIS TURKS.

Jimmy frost, baiIiff of the Hammond
police court, is eating Thanksgiving
dinner today. The menu is chiefly tur-
key, in fact, plural-two turkeys.
AS the telephone directory says
James E. Trost' lives at 1927 Indiana
avenue" If any one wishes to confirm
this story they can call No. 1153M.
For nearly a week Jimmy has been
harboring on his premises pair of
well muscled rambuncious turkey COB
bfers What he wanted to accomplish
was the changing of their muscles to
meat, white, dark, tender, luscious
Thanksgiving turkey meat. Therefore
he confined them in Asiatic ease with
nothing to do but eat corn.
But they flew up and out of their
abode. and nestled in the topmost
branches of tree and Jimmy saw
them. He climbed the tree and said:
Here turkey. turkey, turkey, tur--
ouch'-slip, slip, rip-p-p-p z-z-z-z-zim
ka-zouie and Jimmy hit the ground.
Pretty soon the turkey gobblers
tried another tree. Then Jimmy got
his gun. He's a crack shot and he
fired only twice. There is no neck on
one of the birds today and Mrs. frost
didn't serve the liver Of the other.
