TROOPS ARE IN REVOLT
Soldiers Deserving the Cause of the
Little Father" and Joining
the Revolutionists.
Especial to Lake County Times.)


New York, July 23.-A special
from st. Petersburg says the streets
of ST. Petersburg are running with
blood and that scenes resembling the
commune of Paris are being enacted.
Mutiniers are reproted in nearly
every garrison and in many places
soldiers are deserting and Jlonlng
ranks of the revolutionlsts. The
soldiers who are supposed to be loyal
to the Car are preserving an attl-
tude of stolid indifference and refuse
to obey orders.
Fires of incindiary origin are
breaking out in all parts of the capl-
tai and little effort is being made to
extinguish them.
The revolutionary spirit seems tc
be spreading to all classes. A report
that the rioters were marching upon
Peterhof could not be traced to q re-
liable source although such thing
is considered possible.
All workmen have gone out on q
strike at Moscow and business is al
q standstill
Last night was one of terror in st
Petersburg and Moscow.
The Douma which is in session a
viborg is breathing defiance to th'
autocrat of the nation and the re
ports that come from there are en-
couraging the revolutionists to great
er fury.
Riot, pillage, murder and incen
diarism reign supreme, and in tn
midst of it all the Car, who is no
being informed of the real facts, ha
confidence in the fidelity of his pee
pie and the stability of the Empire.

ARRESTED DOWN AND OUTS"

Pitiful Case at the Police Station
Where the Misery of the Under

DR.. Sharrer was called to the po-
lice station this morning to attend
to several cases among the prisoners
in the city jail
It was bad looking lot that faced
the local physician. First came
Riley who has a bad case of snakes.
Riley told the doctor that he knew

morning and wanted to know what

pointing4to the iron bars which pres
vented every means of escape. His
eyes rolled as he said 'I'll bet they
are out there now and tip toeing to
the window he peeped oat carefully
and then came back somewhat re-
assured. The doctor asked Riley if
his parents were living while the ex-
animation was in progress and the
man thinking he had been asked
about his liver insisted that his liver
was alright.
The next man to be examined was
the big nogro who had been badly
pummeled in an attempt to resist
officer Elsner. The burly fellow had
bad looking eye over which several
stitches had been taken. He was
cautioned to have the stitches re-
moved as soon as the eye was healed
and then the doctor dismissed him.
Last of all came Leo Starviki
whose nervous condition caused the
police to fear that he was either 60
ing crazy or was about to have an
attack of delirium tremens The
doctor soon decided that there was
nothing very serious about the con
dition of the man and he was per-
mitted to go his way.

the taste still remains. Even after
boiling it it is no better. What lit

ome A. Ellis. the Chicago automobile
enthusiast. who married Miss Ida NJ.
Platz, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Platz of this city. at Ham
mond one day last week, arrived here
yesterday with his bride in his auto.
The couple went at once to the home
of the brides parents to receive their
benediction 1t is thought that the
parental blessing was Forthcoming
for when Mr.. Ellis was seen at his
hotel this evening he wore a broad
smile and seemed the happiest man in
this city.
OF his marriage to Miss Platz, who
left this city several years ago to go
into business in Chicago, the genial
Chicagoan was not averse to talk.
He said he had intended to keep
their marriage a secret until they
had made it known to the brides
parents upon their arrival here. He
seemed somewhat irritated that it
i had been printed in the Chicago pap
ers and was at loss to account for
the information 9eaching the Chi
cago papers until shown a copy OF
the Lake County Times printed on
the day of the wedding and giving
the story of the affair for the first
time. We'll, I'll be hanged ex-
claimed the motorist. 81 wonder how
they got il"
Mr.. Ellis said he is now perfectly
happy and is not so much concerned
about the fact of his marriage com
ing out before he wanted it to a:
some people think. He said his re
lations with his former wife had beer
far from friendly for more than ;
year before he finally parted from
her three years ago, since which
time he has had nothing whatever t,
do with her. If two people ar
married and are not congenial Their
is but one thing for them to do
get divorce, he said. A man vii

er and | am sure that I have nov
found mine"
Ellis said he intended to make
short touring in his touring car an
then to return to his home in Chi
cago.

NO SHOOTING IN GARY.
Jim Gill None the Worse for Little
Disturbance in Tolleston.

Early this morning a report was
circulated that Jim Gill of the firm
of saloonkeepers Stoker & Gill of
Tolleston had been shot and killed
this forenoon. At last reports the
tall. lank Irishman who is known
throughout the entire county was
enjoying q hearty meal this noon.
The rumor of Gin's death prob
ably had its origin in threats made
last Saturday night after Gill had
thrown out a number of drunks who
were shooting his place to pieces ac-
eording to the style once very pop
ular in the Black Hills.
Gill is one of that class that is
Just as gamey as they make them. .
He jumped into the thickest of the
fray snatched revolvers right and
left and booted the drunken rioters
into the street. They promised to
return and even up with him at
which he laughed. His relatives in
Hammond We're very much disturbed
by the report this morning.
A special to the Lake County
Times from Tolleston this afternoon
confirmed that later report that Gill
was unhurt and doing business as
usual.

SILK WORM DISPLAY
IN LION STORE WINDOW.
A Thousand Silk Worms Can be Seen
Weaving Their Cocoons-They
Feed on Mulberry Leaves.

The enterprising owners Of the
Lion store have gotten in an un-
usually unique attraction which is
on display in their front windows be-
ginning this afternoon and evening.
They have imported a thousand silk
worms from Peoria, H., for the ex-
press purpose of showing the people
Of Hammond how silk is made. This
is the first time an exhibit of this
kind has been made here. The dis
play shows worms in all the diffefent
stages of silk culture The null
berry leaves with which the window
is strewn form the food on which
the worms live. All day yesterday
the worms were feeding and it is
expected that by tonight they will
begin to spin. This of course is the
most interesting stage of the work.
Before the busy little workers weave
for themselves the cocoons from
which they never emerge they throw
out what is known as spun silk
after being manufactured. This
will be a beautiful sight when all
the worms begin TO spin. They viii
be kept in the window until Satur.
day night, when it is expected all
the cocoons will be completed and in
readiness to send to the manufactur.

Passengers Did Not K

Just as he leaped out from the rear
platform of the first car in order to
get on the trailer, the Hammond car
struck him.
1t was found upon investigation
that Petrie's neck had been broken
in two places and death must have
been instantaneous. The body was
taken to a nearby undertaken S
where the inquest was held this
morning.
On the Hammond car was the
usual crowd of roysterers who were
returning from a good time in Chi
cago. They passed 105th street
joking and laughing and did not
realize that the car in which they
were speeding homeward had snuffed
out human life. Even the con
ductor and motorman did not know
that the accident had happened and
went on 10 Hammond entirely OBJ
livious of the fact that their car had
beet the cause of a fellow workman:

FATHERS SEEK
VENGEANCE
South Chicago Girls Said to
Have Been Lured to
Hammond.
WHITE HOUSE SCANDAL
Young Men Are Arrested in South
Chicago But Cannot Be Prose
cuted There.

Two irate fathers of two South
Chicago girls were in Hammond
Saturday evening in consultation
with the local officials with the idea
in mind of prosecuting two young
men of South Chicago who are said
to have induced the two girls, each
of whom is not over 15 years old, to
accompany them on a buggy ride Fiji
day night, which ride is said to have
terminated in the four young per-
sons becoming intoxicated and stay
ing at the Wolf Lake Club House
here all night, returning to their
homes Saturday night.
The men who were in Hammond
Saturday night are Fred Gust and
Ernest Borch and the girls names
are Hattie Gust and Emmn Borch.
When in Hammond the men were
accompanied by Sergeant Pearsons
of the South Chicago police force.
The two young men, who were ar
rested in South Chicago Saturday on
warrants sworn out by the fathers
of the two girls and charging as
sault, are Frank McFadden and JOS
eph Beterman. When they were ar
raigned before Police Magistrate
Foster in South Chicago Saturday
after their arrest, their cases were
continued and they were released on
bonds of $4,000.
Can't Convict in Illinois.
It is thought that it will be hard
matter to convict the young men in
the Illinois courts and this fact ac-
counts for the visit to Hammond of
the fathers of the victims. An at
tempt was made by a Lake County
Times reporter this morning to ascer-
tain what Ed Schnaudt, the propri-
etor of the Wolf Like resort, had to
say about the affair, but the reporter
was informed that Mr.. Schnaudt
was in South Chicago ION business
and would not return until after
noon The man at the White House
could not tell what Mr.. Schnaudt's
mission in South Chicago was.
1t is said that if the fathers oi
the girls cannot obtain a conviction
in the Illinois courts they will bring
the cases to Hammond.

Their Wake.

Tired out by long hours and a try
ing Sundays work in which chasing
fippers from his car was added to
his regular duties of collecting fares,
punching transfers and running
ahead of the car at numerous cross
ings, John Petrie, a conductor on
one of the trolley cars of the South
Chicago City railway, lost his life
while trying to get several small
boys off the blind side of his car.
He was overzealous in trying to
warn the boys, who were stealing
ride, of their danger, and yet too
tired to look out for his own safety
His twelve to fourteen hours of work
were nearly ended when the accident
happened but instead of going home
for the few hours of much needed
rest, he was taken to the undertaken.
Conductor Petrie, who lives at
1O309 Avenue N had reached 105th
street on his way north when he no
ticed several small boys clinging to
the blind side of the car. Realizing
their danger he shouted to them to
jump off. Just at this time the boys
saw a Hammond car coming towards
them from the north and knew that
it would be impossible for them to
get off until the Hammond car had

obeying his order and determined to
