MISS WADE BURNED
BY VIRULENT ACID
DROPPED AT SCHOOL

Miss Mary Wade. daughter Of Chas.
Wade, So South Seventeenth street,
student at the Richmond high school,
had a narrow escape from being Sc
riously injured yesterday while walk
ing down the stairway in the old part
of the high school building.
AS she was about to step on to the
first floor flask containing acid, the
nature of which not having been as.
certained as yet, dropped on step
just back Of her. The flask breaking,
the lower part of Miss Wade's skirt
and both shoes were sprayed with the
virulent fluid, burning a number of
holes through her clothing and shoes
Miss Wade did not know of this until
she experienced a burning sensation
on her right ankle. She then dis
coverfed that she suffered three slight
burns.
Principal Pickell, who investigated
the case, said today that he does not
believe an attack was made upon Miss
Wade. He thinks the acid flask was
dropped accidentally. Miss Wade did
not seen any one drop the flask, and
SO far no one has admitted RESPONSE
bility for the accident.
Miss Wade thought the flask had
been thrown at her by some one on the
second floor, However, it is my opin-
ion that the flask was dropped acct
dentally," Prof. Pickell said.

the bridge could be crossed. They
were returning from Brookville.
AS result of the flooding of the
North E street trunk sewer John
Darnell had an unusual experience. AS
he attempted to make crossing al
North Nineteenth and E streets sewer
back water flooded into the engine OF
his automobile, killing it. 1t was
nearly an hour before he was able tc
get his car out of the small lake OF
sewer water.
Sewers are Flooded.
The Main street sewer systems were
overburdened by the heavy rainfall
and today quite a number of stores
on thta street had water in their base
ments.
AS usual, residents of South B and
C streets suffered considerably from
the unusual precipitation. The in
adequate sewer system, which extends
from Reeyeston to the river, serving
a very extensive territnry,.. became
flooded and overflow water backed
into a number of Easements.
Farmers reported that the heavy
rains did very little damage to crops

placed the Colonel on record as ap-
proving of Fairbanks.
To Boost For Fairbanks.
Using this argument the Fairbanks
men were strenuously urging yester-
day the nomination of Fairbanks as
president, declaring that he was the
one candidate who would be satisfac-
tory to all factions of the party, in
c1uding the Roosevelt progressives.
: 1T was also being pointed out yes
terday by politicians antagonistic to
Roosevelt that this indirect endorse
ment of Fairbanks by the Colonels
supporters may react upon him in the
event he loses the Republican nomina-
ton and makes the race as the Pro-
gressive presidential nominee.
In such an event. if Fairbanks is
chosen as the Republican presidential
nominee, the plea could be made to
the voters that Roosevelt was incon-
sistent; that he was contesting
against man whom he had indicated
was acceptable to Progressives.

FIND HARRY GAME
At JEFFERSONvILLE;
THOUGHT DEMENTED

Apparently suffering from tempo
rary mental derangemsnt Harry Game,
a Richmond groceryman who mys-
teriously disappeared early Wednes-
day morning following an automobile
accident near Knightstown, was found
some time yesterday wandering about
the streets of Jeffersonville, Indiana.
The authorities there identified him as
the missing Richmond man and Chief
Goodwin of the Richmond police de-
partment was notified by the Jeffer-
sonville chief this morning that Caine
was being held there. A member of
his family left at once to take charge
of the young man. The Jeffersonville
chief stated that Gaines condition had
improved noticeably since he had been
taken into custody.
Had Narrow Escape.
It is believed Caine, who is engaged
in the grocery business with his bro
ther-in-law, William N Hockett, at
229 West Main street, became men
tally unbalanced as a result of the
shock he experienced when he mar.
rowly escaped death in an automobile
accident while returning from the
Indianapolis speedway race. Caine
was driving the grocery company's
delivery wagon. Near Knightstown a
large touring car side-swiped the de-
livery car while passing it, throwing
it on the traction track directly in
front Of a traction car. Caine and a
companion, Frank Shallenberg, jumped
from the machine just before it was
struck by the interurban and COM
pletely wrecked. Both men escaped
without injuries.
When Caine arrived in Richmond
late Tuesday evening he went to
Hockett's home, told him of the &C
cldent and then disappeared. Caine
is married and has two children. 1t
is believed he will soon be completely
recovered from the effects of his
shock
