The big brother of all the toy
electric locomotives, that I'LL store
windows at Christmas time was
on exhibition at the Traction
Terminal station today from
a. m. to 5 p. m. G. K. Jeffries,
general superintendent of the
Terre Haute, indianapolis & East
ern Traction Company, extends an
invitation to grown-ups and chill
dren alike to come and inspect it.
The locomotive was built in the
Greenfield shops of the T. H., I.
g. E., painted at the Crawfords-
vile shops and especially designed
to help handle the increasing
freight business, JeffrieS said.
1t is of steel, weighs about forty
five tons and has pulling power
of 725 tons, he says.
One can hardly tell whether the
locomotive is going or coming
from its construction.
Four 100 horse power motors, on
especially built trucks, will move
the locomotive and its train.
Westinghouse brakes and a fore
and aft" sander will stop it.

STRENUOUS BATTLE TO SAVE
PARALYZED YOUTH IS FUTILE
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
EVANSTON, H., March II. -
Death has won its struggle against
the loyal, loving hands that for
more than 10S hours pumped "bor-
rowed life' into the body of Albert
Frick.
The 22-year old salesman who
would have died last Sunday, but
for the constant, rhythmic pressure
on his lungs-applied by 81 of his
co-workers and friends working day
and night in 15-minute shifts fin
ally succumbed at 1912 clock last
night.
Friek had been suffering since
Sunday of Landry's paralysis and
for most of the time was unable to
breathe, sleep or eat.
When the paralysis first attacked
his lungs the doctors found that by
applying pressure to the abdomen in
steady beats, faint spark of life
could be maintained. But they soon
tired in their efforts to prolong the
young mans life and so his friends
came to take up the task, two at 2
time, in IS minute shifts.
The final struggle of Frick's los
ing battle started in shortly after
9:30 p. m. Doctors noticed cyano-
tic condition where the flesh
starts turning blue. Oxygen tanks
were brought into use but Frick
failed to respond.
H. c. Frick, the boys father, who
had been almost in constant attend
ance, walked to the bed where
Young Frick had been propped at Il
As degree angle for four days.
"Can 1 help, son9' the father
asked.
For the first time in l0S hours
Young Frick failed to respond to
his fathers question. Prior to that
time he had always gasped "Push,
Dad
At 10 p. m. Chris Hendrickson
and Harry Reynolds took up their
shift at forcing breathing on Frick.
Steadily, rhythmically they pushed.
Relaxed, pushed, relaxed with the
same cadence that had been kept
up since Sunday.
Once the pain.wracked and eX-
hausted youth half shook and gasp

Welter Champion
Takes Lacing

CHICAGO, March 1l.-Pete Lat
20 remains welterweight champion
of the world but only through the
fact that his title was not at stake
last night when he fought Joe Sim
onieh, a hard swinging boy from
Montana.
For ten rounds the welterweight
champion took a terrific drubbing.
A wild right hand failed him un-
mercifully, and the champion was
able to win only one of the rounds
the tenth.
Simonich was given credit for
winning six rounds and three were
declared draws.
This boy Simonich is an odd fight
er, lacking all of the technique
that goes to make up champions.
But he has one positive asset. That
is high right hand.
He has a good reach and last
night that right arm swung i'll wild
semicirclAs, landing repeatedly on
the champion s face and body.
Latzo gamely attempted to bring
the fighting to close quarters
where he was master-but Simon
ich knew this would be fatal and
so stood back and failed away.

GET A BIG LOOT
Mines Placed in Highway
And Set Off AS Trucks

PITTSBURGH, Pa, March IL
Five men were injured, two prob
ably fatally, this afternoon, when
nine bandits dynamited two armor'
ed pay ears Of the Drinks Express
Co., carrying the payroll Of the
Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Co. and
escaped with about 100000.
Two charges of dynamite had
been buried in the roadway OVcl
which the pay cars passed and were
discharged from a battery situated
about 100 yards from the road.
The charges, placed go feet apart
in the road, dug holes of sufficient
depths to bury the armored ears.
Selling the sacks containing the
Payroll, the bandits entered tour
ing car bearing a Pennsylvania Ii
cense and disappeared in the direc-
tion Of Library, Pa. The money
was a Is day payroll for mines No.
1, and of the Pittsburgh Termi-
nal Coal Co. The trucks, which Ori-
ginally carried in the neighborhood
Of 100000, had completed part of
the payroll rounds when dynamite1.
The holdup occurred III the old
Bethel road near Coverdale.
The bandits, apparently familiar
with the operations of the armored
ears, had placed the charges in
strategic points and had concealed
their battery behind fallen tree,
hidden from view of the road.
The money cars, money and
guards were scattered in the holes
made by the blast. The bandits
picked up the money sacks, the work
of a minute, and escaped.
Pittsburgh police, county offic-
ers and state police from Butler
and Greensburg barracks are comb
ing western Pennsylvania for the
touring ear believed to be stolen,
containing the bandits.

TWO HUNDRED
EXPECTED ON
TIJUANA TRIP

Passengers who make the trip to
Tijuana or San Diego Sunday ON
the special train provided by the
San Diego and Arizona railroad Will
be whisked through snowclad noun
tains as well as through the valleys
of sunshine between FL Centre and
the coast. 1t was reported today
that Hipass, aocated 344O feet
above sea level on the San Diego
and Arizona. is covered with snow.
F. B. Dorsey, traffic manager of
the road, arrived in FL Centro last
night but after looking over the
plans of d. C. Ramsey, local offic-
ial, for the excursion he left again
this morning for Los Angeles. He
had come here to assist Ramsey in
the excursion but found
that everything was in readiness
for the start.
"You can tell the people that
they will be provided with eats, y
Ramsey said today. 1--WE have had
many inquiries of this nature rela-
luncheon and plate dinner will be
served on the train for those who
wish to dine.
"Many people have expressed
their intention of making the trip
to Tijuana for the Coffroth Handi-
cap and the ticket sale thus far has
been brisk. We expect more than
200 to make the journey Sunday. y
Coffroth Handicap will be the
main attraction on the program at
Tijuana. This race carrying a
purse of close to 100000 is the
biggest stake race held in the coun-
try throughout the year and ranks
in the feature events of the turf.
Thoroughbreds representing the
cream of the racing world are al
ready quartered at Tijuana, ready
to fly over the ground to capture
the rich stake.

But his voice faded away.
for 10 minutes more the steady
rhythmic pressure which had kept
life in an almost dead man for 105
hours was kept up.
Finally DR.. r. f. Conley, who was
bending over the body, gave the an
nouncement that 81 men had been
fighting against for five days:
He is dead.
Silence enveloped the little room
where the losing battle had been
going on. The two workers pressed
gently on Frick's chest once or
twice as if loath to believe the task
they had worked at could have
failed.
1t was only when Frick's father
collapsed and fell to the floor that
ell realized an all-powerful death
had taken the victim it had beck
oned for.
The history around this strange
battle between man and death dates
from Saturday when Young Frick
Hdu TWO leelH TtlHON tu. Ilc SUI
denly became i'll.
Sunday paralysis set in. First
his bladder then his legs, his dia-
phragm and then his palate and vO-
cal cords refused to function owing
to inert muscles.
Doctors pronounced him the vie
time of Landry's paralysis-named
after a famous French doctor who
first analyzed it-and resuscitation
work started Two doctors began
the attempt at forcing breathing
upon the youth but when they tired.
Frick's comrades volunteered and
worked in Is minute shifts to pro-
vide a spark of life for the youth.
Twice Frick seemed on the brink
of death, but both times he rallied
and the weary workers-their arms
bandaged and swollen from their eff
forts at resuscitation - were cheer
ed and "carried on. y
Yesterday doctors said there was
a Cray of hope owing to- the
paralysis of the diaphram receding
and Frick seemed more cheerful.
But the cheer passed last night
when death descended and took the
toll it had been demanding for al
most Il week.
