policemen Chitwood and Mass sent
him to the city hospital.
Late Christmas shoppers found a
northwest wind seeking to blow the
packages from their arms, but many
braved the elements to finish the
long-delayed purchases.
Small boys, and girls as we'll,
found their holiday vacation made
6oubly happy by the snow. Not a
few grown-ups also enjoyed the
white covering which hid from view
the sooty exterior of the city.
The streets presented a good road
way for the sleigh of old st. Nicho-
las. who is expected here for a brief
visit late Thursday night or early
Friday.
Transportation was impeded by
the snowfall and cold, also. The
Indianapolis Street Railway Com
pany kept city cars operating all
night to clear the tracks of snow
and ice.
The Big -Four train due here from
Detroit at 7:10 a. m. was one and
one-half hours late and the Penn.
sylvania train due from st. Louis at
7:15 was thirty minutes late.
The Pennsylvania train due from
Louisville at 1885 a. m. arrived
twenty minutes late.
Service on the Brazil division of
the T. H., /. & e. traction line was
interrupted by the swapping of a
trolley wire. The Union Bus Ter
minal reported no delay because of
the snow.
Postmaster Robert II. Bryson said
the Christmas mails may be delayed
by the snow, but added that he did
not think the delay would be great.
Delivery trucks will have to move
more slowly. Mail trains were ten
or fifteen minutes late, but thus is
not unusual at Christmas.
Combating the danger of slippery
streets, police arrested ten motorists
on speed charges early today.
Two drivers, George Parker, 25,
of 1880 w. Market St., charged with
speeding, and Edwards, charged
with assault and battery and reck-
