The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1916-02-25

Chief of Police Goodwin acted wise
ly Friday evening when he drew his
revolver before demanding admission
to the home of Ed Balling, South
Eleventh street, near II street.
AS frightened members of the fam
lily watched with apprehension from
the sidewalk, Balling opened the front
door in response to chiefs summons
but when he gazed into the business
end of the officers automatic he made
no attempt to use the long, keen-point
e sword he held menacingly in his
right hand. Although mentally de-
ranged by hard drinking Balling had
the sense to realize that man armed
only with a sword had no chance of
obtaining decision over man arm
ed with an automatic revolver.
After Balling opened the door Chief
Goodwin thrust his gun barrel against
Ballings chest and with his left hand
the sword away from the
madman. This done Balling offered
slight show of resistance, making an
effort to break away from the officer
and attack a brother-in-law. Officer
Little, however, came to the chiefs
assistance and Balling was quickly
Overpowered. He is now being held at
county Jail for safe keeping.
Several months ago Balling became

been received by Charles Jordan. as
chairman of the special committee
from bankers and professional men
around Chicago, who are acquainted
with Mr.. Dolph.
Extension is Necessary.
Mr.. Dolph, when called upon to
speak, said after he had investigated
the {. B. & G. problem he decided i'm
medlately it would be impossible 10

taken Immediately on other lines con
Meeting with it, and it is part of
this merger scheme that brought hin,
to Union City and Richmond
I'VE now have options on 546 miles
of road" said Mr.. Dolph. After IL
was suggested that the road be ex.
tended to Richmond, our engineers
got busy and made estimates This Is
not a question of promoting any
scheme. You do your part and We
will do ours. With this cooperation
we can build the road from Richmond
to Huntington and make it pay"
The best estimates we can get is
that the road when built will pay not
more than $1,000 10 s1.100 per mile,
net earnings declared Mr. Dolph
The best it could do is to pay pcT
cent. which is no big inducement to
prospective buyers of stock We ex-
pect to organize a separate company
to operate the road from Huntington
to Richmond. IT will require $1,000. 900
capital stock and bond issue of 81
10000.
Requires S150.oco Subsidy.
I'VE expect in this estimate that the
right of way be furnished at actual
cost. II will require i'm addition to
this, subsidy of $4,000 Wayne
