TE|TSORT AWARDED
$4,000 IN DAMAGES

Petit jury decided last night that
the right hand of man "a years old
Is worth $4,000 when 1t awarded this
amount to Clarence Teitsort in his
suit against the Pennsylvania railroad.
Judge Fox said this is the largest
amount in damages that has been
awarded by the Wayne circuit court
since he took the bench twenty-four
years ago. The largest amount that
has been paid for the loss of life
was $4,000.
"This is probably the largest amount
that any jury in the state of Indiana
ever awarded man for the loss of
a hand" Judge Fox said
To Ask New Trial
John Rupe, attorney for the railroad,
announced that he intends to file a
petition for u new trial within few
days and that in case his petition is
not granted he will carry it into the
Supreme court Of the state.
Mr.. Te!tsort, through his attorneys,
Robbins and Robbins, sued for $4,000
for injuries received at Anderson last
December while he was employed by
the company as a brakeman. Because
of a mistake in signals, the train on
which he was working ran over his
hand and crushed it so badly that it
had to be amputated.
Gives Original Complaint
The case was tried under the Fed
era! railroad laws by the agreement
OF attorneys. The original complaint
provided that it could have been tried
under the Indiana state laws but this
part OF the complaint was struck out
early in the trial.
After trial which lasted a week,
the case went to the jury at o'clock
yesterday. The final verdict was
agreed upon at midnight. On the first
ballot. it was agreed that Teitsort de-
served damages. One man then held
out that he should receive $4,000. an
other wanted $4,000 verdict, but
the majority wanted $4,000. The
$4,000 was compromise.
John Robbins, of Indianapolis. was
associated with Byram and Philip
Robbins in the case.

COMPLETE Plan
FOR EPISODES
OF CENTENNIAL

The completed episodes OF the cen.
tennial pageant to be given every
night next week at the Coliseum will
be submitted to the pageant commit
tee tonight by Eugene McGillin, its
writer and director, and will be an
nounced tomorrow
Episodes will be short and snappy,
Mr.. McGillin said today Each will be
five or six minutes in length and
there will be two or three readers who
will interpret the scenes as they are
given. The pageant will be an hour
in length every night with So to 20
in the cast
Recall Pioneer Days.
Most of the scenes will be laid after
1916. One will show life before that
period when Indians hunted over the
site of Richmond and camped near the
forks of the Whitewater and near the
location of Thistlethwaite's falls and
pond. First pioneers here were cap
tured and held for short time.
One Of the most stirring scenes will
repeat the visit of Henry Clay to Rlch-
mond in 1914, his rousing speech at
Eighth and Main streets, the crowds
demands presented by stalwart
farmer and Clay's reply. The Incl
dent ended in turmoil in which citt-
zens and farmers were as near to mob
state of mind as in any other period
in the city's history.
viii Stretch Canvas.
PREPARATIONS were made today to
stretch a canvas across North
street from Eighth to Tenth street
90 feet high. At every entrance there
will be an enormous arch. All arch
es except one have been used in the
biggest festivals in the country and
are said to be beautiful and expensive.
The decorating OF Main street was
started today.
The electrical display will be the
most comprehensive ever shown IN
Richmond. according to Superintend
ent Kleinknecht of the city light
plant. Three electrical companies
have combined in three booths to
make the electrical show unique In
the history of industrial expositions
here. One Of the things of interest to
women will be a complete electrical
kitchen.
Use Electrical Effects.
Electrical effects throughout the
exposition and in the pageant will be
unusual. II will be the most brilliant
ly lighted show ever held here. For
booth lighting alone, 500 lights have
been installed, exclusive Of number
OF big lights which will illuminate
the long exposition tent and the hun
dreds of bulbs which will be used in
arches and along Main street
There is still doubt regarding the
cluster lights on Main street. A de-
lay has been encountered in getting
cable. The city may be able to flash
the cluster lights on the latter part
of the week.
Uses Scarchlight.
A big searchlight will play over the
city from the point of highest ele-
walton. This will be one Of the sig
mails in the night that the exposition
is under way.
Several circus acts have already
reached Richmond and are awaiting
word from authorities to begin
preparations to open midway Mon
day afternoon Every show and every
exhibit will be ready at the hour OF
opening.

NORTHERN TRACTION
LINE IS CONSIDERED
BY MORE CAPITAL

Another interurban line leading into
Richmond and passing through Union
City, Winchester, Portland and De-
catur on the way to Fl Wayne is I'M
der consideration according to the
Portland Sum- The clipping follows:
E. j. Skehan, former manager of
the Muncie & Portland traction line,
now owned by the Indiana Union Trac
ton company, will leave here Wednes-
day morning enroute to indianapolis
there to represent the Portland Com
mercial Association, as acting secre
tary, at meeting of representatives
from various cities in eastern Indiana
with D. c. Moore, of Richmond and
others, who are interested in the build
ing of a traction or interurban line
that will extend from Richmond to FIT
Wayne, is constructed.
Party Makes Tour.
Mr. Moore and others who are in
terested with him in promoting the
line proposed, visited Portland about
two weeks ago on tour of inspection
over the territory between Portland
and Decatur. They were accompanied
from here by directors of the Com
mercial Association as far as Decatur
where in all probability if the line pro-
posed should be constructed, it would
connect with the line operating now
between Decatur and Fl Wayne. The
party had previous to coming to Port
land, made tour over the ground to
the south of this city as far as Rich
mond
So far as is now understood here
the plan Is to build line that will
extend from Richmond to Union City,
Winchester. Portland, Decatur and FIT.
Wayne. 1t is also understood that
eastern capitalists are interested in
the matter and would furnish the bulk
of the money necessary.
While here it was arranged that a
meeting should be held at the Denison
hotel, Indianapolis, Wednesday Of this
week, to be attended by promoters of
line and representatives Of all cities
along the proposed route. Mr.. Ske-
han will be joined at Muncie by John
Montant, a secretary of the United
City Commercial club.

FREIGHT train HITS
PAINTER AT LOCKS

NEW MADISON, Ohio, Oct IL
John Schooler of ST. Paris, a painter
in the employ Of the Pennsylvania
lines was struck by freight train
Tuesday afternoon while at work
painting interlocks at the crossing
two miles northeast of town. That he
remained at his work too long is be-
lieved to be the cause Of the accident.
He was knocked clear of the track
and alighted on the, pipings that con-
troll the signal system. Schocler was
rushed to town where he received
medical attention. He was painfully
injured about the back and also re-
ceived several scalp wounds. He was

general discussion In diplomatic circles
here today. 1t was felt that it had
squarely met an issue that was bound
to be troublesome anyhow and that by
maintaining the position that inter
national law must be respected by the
United States this government evades
what might have proved a dangerous
trap later on.
Relations are Strained.
Officials here realize fully that the
general international situation is grow
ing more and more dangerous daily.
All of the belligerent powers are inter
fering with American rights and there
seemingly is no possibility of redress
under present conditions. Friction has
been apparent for some weeks between
the various belligerent embassies here
and the state department and all of the
causes leading UP to this situation now
are being discussed by President Will
son and Secretary Lansing.

A Valuable Relic Of 1859

Thru the courtesy of Mrs. E.
Porter Smith we have at hand a
copy of the first edition of the
Rocky Mountain News, publish
ed on Saturday, April %, 1859.
1t is six column folio, having
four pages of well printed news
and advertising matter. Its edi-
tor was VIM. N. Byers. The
place of publication was design
ated as Cherry Creek, K. T.,
meaning Kansas Territory and
mention is therein made that a
petition soon would be made for
a state, at that time the prefer
ence being in favor Of the name
Jefferson An item states
that r. P. Smith has just call
ed at our Office and shown US a
package of gold dust, weighing
a few cents over forty-tWo dol
lars. Mr.. Smith informs US that
this is the result of three days
labor by three men working with
the common rocker, and that in
a new claim. This claim is
what is known as Dry Creek,
three miles above its junction
with the Platte and eight miles
west of Cherry Creek. The "a
bove streap is now dry, and the
water with which they washed
had to be obtained by digging in
the bed of the creek to a consid-
cradle depth-thus consuming a
large portion Of the three days
employed. The gold is obtained
from the surface downward, in
creasing in richness as it de-
sends, but all paying to wash.
This gold is all scale, or wash
gold of the finest quality, per-
fectly clean and pure"
Mrs. Smith was one of the
early settlers of Cherry Greek,
coming with her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Graves, when

on the old homestead on Graves
