about the latter part of July my

take much notice of it at first, but it

then l began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies

My hair began to fall out and my scalp
itched all the time. Especially at
night, just as soon as l would get in

would begin to itch, and my finger
nails would keep it irritated, and it
was not long before / could not rest

he says that he heard a woman's cry
last Sunday evening which ended with
the words, I'm here" The woman
may have taken the little fox terrier
in her arms and cried over him like
one would over somebody that is dear
to one and when she thought she had
cried enough over him. she may have
wound up her wall with the words lin

met.
Mr.. Watkins says that for d time he
heard no more, which, by applying the
Sherlock Holmes principle, is also very
plausible, as the dog was too surprised
when he first struck the dirty waters
sound for time. AS for the woman,
she evidently walked away in order
not TO be a witness to the crime"
that she had committed.
she could not have gone very far
when the dog began to bark. He
barked for two reasons. First of all,
he wanted to get out of the Calumet
river as II. in that particular place is
very, very dirty, the slaughter house
having for years emptied it's filth into
this very spot.
He couldn't sink very easily as the
water was too thick and occasionally
he found 4 place where he could walk
on the water, but soon he would again
be stuck. While he was struggling
hard to follow his cruel emistress she
drew farther away from him and his
bark became more desperate until, in
his exhaustion, It finally died down
and the dog in his hopelessness, gulp-
ed down several mouthfuls Of the
Calumet water. closed his eyes and
resigned himself to the inevitable. He
was after all a lucky dog. His body
was found soon after his death.
The fate OF the one that was fount
late yesterday afternoon, and which
| evidently was drowned some time ago
| was probably just as cruel as that O.

COMMISSION DECIDES
Body Meets Today at Springfield
Other Obstacles Overcome and
Work Progresses.

For the past some time the Chicago.
Cincinnati g. Louisville road has been
in hot water. not knowing how Il
would cross the Pennsylvania tracks In
West Hammond. About three weeks
ago the matter was referred TO the rail-
road commissioners who met today at
Spring field, Ill.
The Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville
road wanted to put in an interloclSer at
the Pennsylvania crossing but this,
when taken up with the Pennsylvania
officials resulted in a fiat refusal. They
said that If the c., c. q l.. wanted to
cross its tracks they would have to
cross overhead which would mean an
expenditure OF thousands of dollars and
would also delay the completion OF the
road over a year. On the other hand
If the railroad commissioners decide to
let the C., c. & l. put in an interlocker,
they will have their road completed to
Chicago by the first OF the year.
In speaking to a TINES reporter this
morning. one OF the officials OF the
road seeking permission to cross, said
he thought the commissioners would de-
eide in favor of the c.. C. & l., when
they realized the enormous expense
and loss Of time to which the latter
would be subjected.
The new road has made satisfactory
arrangements with the Monon and
Chicago Junction roads for crossing
their tracks and now the only thing
that bars their progress is the ques-
tion OF the Pennsylvania crossing.
Last Saturday the Monon tracks
were crossed and by this evening the
tracks to the state line will be COM
pIeted. Should the railroad coEfnis-
sioners refuse the c. & L permission
to put in an interlocker. 1t Will prob
ably run its trains over the Erie tracks
until the overhead crossing is COM
pleted.
In speaking Of the up to date depot
that the new road was to give Ham
mond, the official said that as soon as
the road is completed so that the c.. c.
& L. can bring material over its own
road the depot Will be built, and that
the reports to the effect that they Will
not build an up to date depot here, are
false.

Blood Stigma,

Crown Point, Ind, Dec. 4.-The trial
of Duffy De France on a charge OF
having caused the death of George
Young of Ainsworth, is the center OF
attraction in the circuit court today.
Yesterday was consumed in hearing
the states evidence, much Of which il
of a technical nature. The trial is a
very difficult one, as II bristles With
medical terms. The defense is making
q strong fight on the contention that
any injuries received by Young in the
fight between him and De France did
not cause his death, and is endeavor-
ing to show that Young's physical con-
dition brought about his untimely end.
The two eye-witnesses OF the "scrapA

ing. have left the state and their tes.
timony will not be received.

A motion to quash the indictment
was sustained in the early stages OF
the trial owing to a technical errol
in the wording Of the Indictment as
returned by the grand jury. An affl-
davit charging De France with man
slaughter was substituted by the prose-
cution rather than wait until the
