PLUMBERS MUSTN'T RIDE.
Union Forbids Them to Go on Biey-
cles For Short Tasks.


Elkhart, Ind.-"We walk!' has been
the slogan of Elkhart journeyman'
plumbers since the passing of rule by
the union forbidding the use of bi-
cycle or motorcycle in going to and
from short jobs"
The penalty is 50 fine. Men are
permitted under the rule to ride to
work for all day tasks and to use
wheels at the noon lunch hour, but
they must not make intervening trips
on wheels. They may be passengers at
any time in vehicles provided by their
regular employers.
The rule was the result of boast at
a union meeting of one of the men that
he had completed an unusually large
number of short jobs" during that
particular day because he used bi-
cycle.

in A Runaway Accident Near
AnknGytOWR
Jay BrubdkGr Meets Almost
Instant Death Sunday

Ankenytown, March 6-With three
large, deep holes gouged in his head,
probably by the horses hoof, Jay
Brubaker died almost instantly yes
terday morning shortly after 10
o'clock, following an exciting runa-
way in which Rrubaker was thrown
from buggy and dragged along be-
tween the wheel and shaft.
The accident happened one-half
mile north of this place, near the
spot where cross-road from the
Mansfield-Mt. Vernon road leads to
the German Baptist church. The 12-
year-old son of Tennyson Leedy was
driving with Brubaker at the time.
Brubaker had started to attend the
German Baptist Sunday school at the
church, while young Leedy was bound
for the Progressive church. At the
crossroads, Brubaker stopped his
horse to let Leedy out. Before the
boy could descend, the horse plunged
wildly forward.
Leedy was so frightened that he
could scarcely tell what happened.
The buggy swerved into field at the
roadside and Leedy had hazy vision
of seeing Brubaker pinned for a few
instants between the wheel and bug
gy shaft. Brubaker then fell down
and the horse continued its mad dash,
making for a culvert.
AT the culvert Leedy jumped and
landed safely. The buggy was dash
ed against the culvert, detaching and
smashing it, the horse running on to
the German Baptist church. Leedy
ran back to the spot where Brubaker
lay and then hastened to the Progress
sive church to inform people of the
accident.
In the meantime, Mr.. and Mrs. Har.
ry Bechtol, who had been walking up
the main road back of the buggy and
had seen the accident, arrived on the
spot and, in few minutes, William
Montgomery came. The latter had
witnessed the affair from the German
Baptist church yard. The two mer
gazed on the blood-covered body o.
Brubaker and then sent for an auto
mobile. Brubaker died before thu
machine arrived. The remains wer,
taken to the home of l.. M. Brubak
er and there prepared for burial.
Although the horse was not shoe
behind, the three large holes in Bru
bakers head, one in front and two il
the back, can be accounted for il
only one way-kicks from the ami
mails hoofs. What frightened tn
horse is not known.
