Father Placed in Jail for Intoxication But Innocence Went to Sleep. Drunk and dragging around his little four-year-old son by the hand on the streets last night, a man giving his name as Paxton, who lives at Carl Junction, was arrested at eight o'clock at Fourth and Broadway last night. He had been warned to leave the streets and urged to take a car home but refused.

The little fellow did not know his father was intoxicated. When the police took his father back in the cell part of the city jail he asked "Where is papa going?" The police told him his father had gone after some smoking tobacco and induced him to lie down on some blankets placed on the floor of the office. The little blue-eyed, light-haired tot soon fell asleep. As other arrests were made and noisy drunks brought in he slept soundly through the tumult. His mother is dead.

Was Not Part of Entertainment at The Presbyterian Church Affair. A pipe organ on fire while an entertainment was in progress was a number not on the program at the Presbyterian church Friday evening.

With smoke curling up among the big and little pipes, the organ resembled a row of smoking factory smoke stacks. Investigation showed the smoke was issuing from the organ part. A. K. Shafer took off a panel and crawled inside where he found a short circuit in the electric wires had lighted the insulation and the varnish had commenced to scorch, causing much smoke.

Those at the reception, which was given by the Young Peoples' society to Normal and Business college stu dents, remained in the dark while the lights in the building were cut off an the short circuit repaired. Most of the crowd was in another room when the trouble started. Fortunately no one was playing the organ and consequently no concert was interrupted. Reaction Has Come.

Throop of this city probably will quit his job as railroad brakeman and go into the show business, being the whole show. He has unusual memory, and it may the means of making him rich. He has given several exhibitions and found financial reward satisfactory, so has decided to put shows regularly. He can keep string of figures running into the thousands in his mind for weeks and call them off with absolute accuracy. One of his memory feats is to take the numbers a west bound train beginning the caboose and going toward engine, one day, and on the following day take an eastbound train beginning at the engine, going toward the caboose, and ter looking at the numbers he call them off from memory after many days.

Throop left this week for San Francisco where he will make some demonstrations at exposition. THE "BLACK MARIA." Police Patrol Placed in Sevice With Commissioner Messenger at Wheel. The new police automobile was placed in service last night. A drunk or two and one man charged with sell ing intoxicating liquor and the case of beer found on his premises were brought in via the police patrol. Commissioner Messenger acted as driver but the policemen are figuring on learning how to navigate it.

The po lice all agree that the first one driv. ing the machine to violate the traffic ordinances will be arrested by the others as a jay driver. In driving the machine last night, Mayor Lanyon who also tried his hand at giving the machine a workout, discovered the car hnd an extra speed forward. It had been making such good speed he thought he was traveling on high, or highest, all the time. A new garage will be built in short time at the southeast corner of the city hall grounds and will be auto patrol's headquarters.

It has not been decided whether the building will be of brick or cement blocks. Now the machine must be taken to the garage late at night. Some delay was experienced in ting the auto in shape.

"The Bulgarians have dynamited the SalonikiUskub railroad bridge near Demirkapa, cutting the line the French and English troops must take from Saloniki to Serbia," stated a message from Bucharest late today.

While Greece has permitted the uninterrupted passage of the 32,000 French-English army from Saloniki over their railways, the intercepting of the railway line of communication to Serbia by the Bulgerians may pre vent their aid to the hard pressed Serbians before they are crushed by the Austro-German invasion, coupled with the attnek the Bulgarians tr nected to make shortly.
