ME otner morning ponce snot a
l. car thief after a long chase.
They put buckshot in his legs, and
captured him. Two companions got
away under fire. 1t was a pretty
good nights work, but
Next morning the people who live
near the scene counted nine bullet
holes in the front wall of their
frame house. Five of the bullets
had penetrated to the front room.
Two Of them had gone across the
front room through bedroom wall
and across the bedroom. One of
them was in woman's shoe, parked
at the bed where he lay sleeping
through the fight.
They were all police bullets be-
cause the fugitives didn't return the
fire.
NNE music critic made this note
" in his review of Mu Phi Ep-
silon's concert in Caleb Mills Hall
Friday night:
Their share of the evening in
Guided a Siciiiana first transcribed
by Respighi from an older work by
Tgnote"
The program said the number
was arranged by Respighi from a
work Qgnote-Fine del Seculo XVD
The word "Ignote" means un-
known. and the sense of the pro-
gram was that Respighi arranged
it from the work of an unknown
composer, not work by Mr.. Un-
known.
ONCE upon a time last century,
~ John l.. Sullivan came to town
in theatrical company He dropped
into the Denison Hotel for dram
and met Frank Heidrick, who served
him the dram and then came out
from behind the bar.
The two of them stood toe to toe
and slugged. They hooted and
bowled in glee at meeting each other
and once more going it. They had
been sparring partners, and this was
a reunion.
John l.. got thoroughly tired, after
several rounds of this boisterous
greeting, and went on up to bed.
He first turned on the gas in the
CRATE and, it being a low pressure
time, had to open the valve to the
limit.
WHILE he slept the gas pressure
w came up. It's flames licked
out and got the curtains and before
long there was sturdy little fire.
John L. slept. Three firemen
crawled up a ladder and carried him
down.
Well, the whole wing of the hotel
was destroyed.
The only other Indiana adventure
John L. had of any Importance,
hear, was in Terre Haute. He swore
off drinking there, the pledge that
was heard around the sports world.
AfterWard he went out lecturing
against liquor.
THEY say former Indianapolis
J. banker, after unfortunate and
quite complete financial reverses,
stopped an acquaintance on the
street once and said:
Il say. You've been a poor devil
all your life. Maybe you know where
fellow can get an overcoat re-
paired"
THERE'S something less than
L. poetry in the heart of Frank
G. Schmelz for Mother Nature. The
last hurricane in Florida scrambled
property of his to the tune of $4,000.
White River, ordinarily peaceful,
went over its banks the other day
and spoiled Jungle Inn, Schmelz'
place, to the extent of $1,000 or
more.
When it was wettest out his way
(RavenswoodD some one stole the
SchmelZ rubber boots.
n
I'D BARGE, Assistant Attorney
IL General, is trying to figure
this one out:
He has in his possession a petit
tions for writ of coram nobis that
the petitioner, a Kentucky hill
billy, who was so unfortunate as to
have shot a man fatally, prepared
himself without aid of attorney, lie
says.
He prepared it in prison, where he
has been sentenced for life. It's a
really nice job, Mr.. BARGE says, with
citations of legal precedents and all
the ''wherases" and "herin-be-
fores" in their right places.
