backed by the lake and were protected by
what appeared to be a Calling gun, but
which was afterward found to be only a
fence post on wheels. At daw the Stars
and Stripes were hoisted from a pole. SEN
tries patrolled every approach.
Then there was a stir on the part Of
the police, you may be sure. Streeter
at his hotel, was put under surveillance.
Emissaries of the shore owners stirred up
the corporation counsel, who stirred up the
chief OF police, who stirred up H~eidelmeier,
who stirred up the bluecoats, and out Of
all the stir there was an army organized.
But with rifles and Calling guns and forts
to meet there was need Of caution.
Niles and his sentries kept all-comers
away from their fort during the long morn
ing hours. An iceman named Murphy tried
to drive Town the boulevard In a buggy,
carrying a little girl for protection, but
Niles dubbed hin on the head and he with
drew. Then Captain Barney Baer of the
boulevard police endeavored TO drive past
the forts and see how strong they were.
When Niles halted him he turned and called
for assistance from a crowd Of plain clothes
officers in the distance. One OF them
stepped forward. but with an imperceptible
motion Niles sent a bullet between his
feet, and the oficer sidestepped about five
yards. The rest scattered. Then as Baer
advanced Niles put a bullet through the
buggy close on each side Of him, and held
the rife at a ready, Baer, too. withdrew.
With that the police left the field to Niles
and went for achievements They gathered
an army Of 600 blueeoats at the Chicago
avenue station, armed several hundred OF
them with rifles and riot guns and pre-
pared TO annihilate the sixteen men at the
District forts.
The valiant Heidelmeier again took the
lead, and again-it was now afternoon
they advanced to the attack. marching o
mile to the "Deestric' :" The hreboat was
ordered to the lake front to cooperate
with them.
Meanwhile Niles. having established his
occupation, sent all but ive OF his follow
ers away unobserved in the navy. With the
balance he maintained the picket lines and
held the city force at bay.
About the time the police started on

by Make" stole softly through a hole in
the fence and massed before him, he made
no sign. But the crowd was visibly nerv-
Gus, the bluecoats even more so, and
Make" most Of all.
Suddenly stepping three PAGES forward
the inspector threw up his right hand. All
Chicago recognized the gesture and shud-
dered. Make" had taken the "Haymar-
ket" attitude, copying as faithfully as his
portly figure would allow the graceful
bronze officer who guards the scene Of the
anarchist riots. When a Chicago police
oficer strikes that attitude the citizens
know there Is something doing" So they
awaited the next move In breathless silence.
Each Of the 200 bluecoats nervously I'm
gered his pistol.
At this instant, in a voice meant to be
thunderous, Make" repeated the words
craven at the foot Of the statue:
I'm der name Of der beebles Of Illinois,
l commands beace."
There was no response from Gap" who
still read his paper.
I'm der name OF der beeb1es Of nli-
nois, I command you to dispense"
Hold on thar came from streeter. ct
CANT dispense. They amt but one o. me.
I'd do 1t II / could. Max, bun CAN'T"
True enough, the army had abandoned
its leader and he had not even a club for
a weapon. The bluecoats looked relieved
and drew nearer.
we'll, you got to go oud mid here" said
the inspector. relaxing his attitude.
81 won't go except by force" said the
captain, and so he was borne in his chair
to a patrol wagon and then to the station
and booked for refusal to dispense when SO
ordered. Next day when the justice read
the charge he let Cap go. as 1t was man
ifestly impossible for him to have obeyed
the order.
So the first armed invasion of the indie
pendent District of Lake Michigan by the
forces Of Illinois resulted In the tempo
rary overthrow of the young republic and
a victory for the state. But 1t would not
be according to the spirit OF the American
people to give in after a single defeat,
and cap" is Of long generations Ameri-
ean. In the months hat followed he grad

their march a boulevard sparrow cop
strolled along the sea beach on his regular
round toward the forts. Niles beckoned
him over.
SAY" said Niles. 1--WE COM here to
prove we got a right to. We fred our guns
and scared them fellers of. Now, we don't
want to hurt nobody, so Wen jes' surrender
to YOU"
And so, II happened that as the advance
ing 600 bluecoats came In sight, headed by
the valiant Heldelmeler, they beheld the
Immortal Five, Niles at their head, march
Ing up Superior street in charge OF a gray
coated sparrow cop" 1t was a bitter mo-
ment for the force.
So the second invasion was ended. or
course, Niles and his band were tried. The
plain clothes men testified hat Niles had
fred eleven shots In quick succession, but
when they found his rife was but a Ave-
shooter and had two cartridges still In IL,
they withdrew the evidence. And Niles
and his men were discharged from custody.
That was the end Of open hostlllties be-
tween the state Of Illinois and the dis
trict. The cap" had found armed resist
ance a failure.
"The best way to fight them f%ellers," he
said, lis to git 'em on your side"
So he began an insldious attack on the
city authorities, which has resulted in plac-
ing hlm-no one knows exactly how-high
in the favor Of certain aldermen and Of
fcials. With this reasonable assistance
from the camp of the enemy he has OBJ
tanned Chicago building permits and
through his followers has erected several
houses" on the "deestric," which are oc-
cupied by those who have bought the land
Of him.
All this has thrown the controversy
where It belonged in the first place-into
the courts. For the shore owners, bringing
suit for trespass against the ~captain-who,
having the sanction Of the city. cannot be
ousted by the police-must show what title
they have to the land. And that will bring
up the question Of the Wall survey and
the ownership of this particular piece of
lake front and may tax II away from both
of them and give 1t to the state or to a
group OF enterprising gentlemen who re-
Gently bought title to the original sandbaI
from the living descendants of the Indians
who sold the rest of the land to the gov.
eminent. But until II is settled the era Of
peace and good will within these United
States will not have arrived and civil wal
will still be with us.

Well, Hardly

A bright little business woman. who runs
a small store, had an experience with a GUS
toner lately which broke her heart-tempo-
rarily, Of course. A gentleman called at her
place. relates the Louisville Times, and
ordered a hat for his wife, who did not live
here. He was shown everything in the
store, and finally selected a shape he wanted
trimmed. He was a Miss Nancyish fellow;
he looked over the trimmings, feathers, rib
bons, laces, flowers. and made his own
choice. After giving the most minute d.
r~ections as to the trimming he walked on.
In two days time he came again to inspect
the hat and take 1t away. He said 1t was
exactly right. the work had been we'll done,
and then he moved on with the box contain
ing 1t without one word about the price.
The little milliner was In tears. II meant
a lot to her. but when she got to thinking
about suing him she recalled that she did
not know his exact location and had no wit
ness, and that a lawyers fee would cost
more than the hat. When she told her
father OF the trouble the old man got hot.
"I1l pay him for III" he said. Indignantly.
"oh, no, father" sobbed the daughter,
what want is not to pay him. but make
him pay me-"

while small boys and reporters focked

a barbwire fence and faded away.
Not until the next morning could the po-
lice complete their preparations for the
first battle. In the north side headquar-
tiers, on Chicago avenue, Inspector Max
Heidelmeier gathered 200 bluecoats and
along toward noon these advanced to the
attack. They moved in wagons and on
foot, with Make at their head. AS on
