GIBSON AND STANDARD
UNDER CHIEFS EYE
Rimbach Begins Crusade To
Enforce Law in Saloons
Of Settlements.

How TO care for the thousands OF
people at the Standard and Gibson
settlements in this city with the few
men that he has at his disposal is a
question that is perplexing Chief OF
Police Rimbach. Last night officers
Einsle and Hanlon were sent to these
places to see that the liquor laws were
being observed and order kept and they
found things in a terrible condition.
After visiting several OF the resorts
they found that the saloonkeepers had
little regard for the liquor laws of
this city, and what is more. had little
regard for the officers. In several
places Hanlon and Einsele had TO re-
sort to force TO make the saloonkeepers
turn out the "drunks" hanging around
after the IL o'clock closing time.
AS a result OF their Investigations
two saloonkeepers We're arrested and in
court this morning were charged with
violation of the law. They were Will
lam Wisniewski and Andy Kamyatski
and both pleaded guilty to the charge
They were fined $50 each by Judge Nc
Mahon.
Several other things are due tc
happen TO some of the saloonkeepers
this evening. and at least two more
viii be arrested on the same charge
Chief Rimbach is bound that tbs
saloonkeepers OF these districts vii
obey the law as well as the intowr
merchants.

last night at his home from the result
of an injury received August II
Tommy. who is 10 years old, was play
ing in company with other boys in
Bessemer park on that day and one OF
the big rope swings was the attraction
for the time. It was Michael Crottys
turn to sit in the swing, while Max
Festruski furnished the motive power.
While the swing was going Tommy
ran right in it's path and Crotty who.
by this time was again coming for
ward. coliided with the lad Tommy
was hit squarely on the stomach. The
child doubled up in pain and agony
while his two playmates stood help
lessly by bsmoaning his fate. They
assisted him to his feet and later helped
him to his home. The inquest will be

MONSTER PARADE
FOR LABOR DAY
Unions From All Surround
ing Cities Will Send
Large Delegations.

The Trades and Labor council Of
Hammond is looking forward to one
Of the biggest Labor Day celebrations
ever held in this city.
1t is expected that all of the labor
unions in the surrounding cities Will
participate and II has been definitely
learned that the Gary unions. headed
by their own band will be in the city
in full force.
This indicates the outside interest IN
Hammonds annual celebration. In
fact this city has an envtable reputa-
ton for its Labor Day celebrations and
there is seldom a Labor Day when there
are not thousands of people in town.
The promoters of the celebration this
year want to make the parade a spec
ial feature and consequently the mer-
chants are invited to participate in it
It is hoped to have great many fine
floats and there is on question that
there will be thousands of union men
in the marching lines.
AS the plans for the celebration de-
velope the LAKE COUNTY TIMES Will
keep it's readers posted as to what is
being done. 1t is safe to say that from
the present prospects the celebration.
this year Will be the best that has
ever been held In Hammond.

KILLS ONE AND
MAINS ANOTHER
Pennsylvania Train Strikes
Two Men Who Were
Walking Tracks.
Especial to Lake County Times,

Indiana Harbor. Ind. Aug. 15.-The
terrible toll of life that the railroads
and the manufacturing plants of this
city are exacting every month was IN
creased today when a Pennsylvania
railroad passenger train struck two
men who were walking down the track.
killing one of the men and injuring
the other so that he may not like.
The accident happened somewhere
east of Indiana Harbor this morning
a about 8 o'clock, and the train which
hit the men brought their mangled
bodies back to the Harbor.
Both of the men were from the east.
One was Joseph Hillmun of Allegheny
Pa. The train cut both of his legs off
close to the body and he died soon after
the accident.
The other was John Smith of Troy
Pa, whose left leg was cut off. He may
possibly live. 1t is not known just
how the men happened to get in the
way of the train, but it is thought they
became confused and in trying to get
out of the way of the train stepped in
front of it.
Both men were about 80 years OF
age and were unmarried. Smith was
attended by DR.. Anisley.

Emil Herdke Complains of Hobo Who Not Only Stole
Goose From Him But Cooked the Critter
in Front Of His House.

of the Western Indiana tracks were
the guilty persons and he appealed
TO the police for protection.
Herdke claims that his pleas were
heard by the officer in that beat but
that he paid little attention to them
and that the depredations Of the tramps
became more frequent
Last week they became so bold and so
fond of roast duck a Ia hobo that the
whole colony Of weary Willies lived
on the product OF his geesery.
The limit Of boldness was reached
yesterday when one Of the tramps stole
a pot out Of Herdkes kitchen and then
after capturing a goose from the field
across the way proceeded 10 cook ii
on a bonfire built IN front Of the house.
This was too much for Herdke and he
at once determined TO appeal to the
LAKE COUNTY TINES TO make public
the outrage IN order that the Hege-
wisch police might be goaded into a
greater. realization OF their response

HAMMOND POLICE
RAID A BLIND Pig"
Seize Quantity of Liquor and
Boarding House Keeper
Who Sold It.

The police this afternoon raided the
boarding house Of Steve Pevve on For
syth avenue and seized As bottles of
beer and "a empty bottles. The police
found on investigation last night that
the man was conducting a blind pig"
Pevve was arrested at the time Of the
raid. The conditions found at the
house sickened even the police. In a
cottage, one story and a half, thirty
men boarded and slept, and in the
midst one pretty little Slavish girl
was living. She was in a delicate con-
dition and will be taken care of by
the authorities as she has no friends or
relatives in this country. The men
were housed like cattle and the stencil
from the sleeping rooms could be de-
tected a block away

CAR HAS THREE MISHAPS.

Car No. 12o on the East Chicago
division. in charge Of Conductor Al
bert Malo, ran off the track three times
on State street at the railroad tracks
this morning, and the crew had great
difficulty in getting the little single
trucker back on the track. Twice the
car went off the track, with its front
end extending out over the main track
of the Erie. and if train had been
due at that time it would no doubt
have been delayed for a half an hour
or more. Running OF the track is get
ting to be quite fad with the street

WILL LAY NEW SIDEWALKS.

At a meeting Of the Board of Public
Works yesterday afternoon it was de
cided to enforce the laying of cement
sidewalks on both sides of Gostlin
street, from Sheffield avenue to Elm
street. This is certainly a much needed
Improvement as the walks OH that
section of the street have been in bad
shape. Walks Will also be put on
Hickory street from Chicago to Huehn
avenues and on Chicago avenue from
Calumet avenue to Hickory street
When all of these walks are laid they
will cover a distance of several miles
and will be a wonderful improvemen n;

Especial to Lake County Times,

South Chicago. ILL.,. Aug. 15.-Three
young men, two of whom had bullet
wounds in their bodies. were brought
into this city this morning on a Balti-
more & Ohio passenger train after hav-
Ing been picked up near water tank
forty miles east of Chicago.
According 10 the story of the boys
they wanted a drink and went into
a little pumping station where the wa
ter is bumped from river for the use
of the engines. They were searching
for drink when the engineer in charge
came in and demanded to know what
they were doing there.
They informed him that they wanted
drink and the engineer told them TO
get out of the place All three OF them
persisted that all they wanted was a
drink and asked If the engineer would
give them one.

TO JACK UP VIOLATORS.
Persons Who Use Hose Out of Hours
Are to Have Water Turned on.

The city fathers are getting right
after those who are addicted to the ex-
cessive use of city water for the pur-
pose of sprinkling their lawns. Any
one who violates the law which places
restrictions on the hours in which the
lawn may be sprinkled. is likely to
have his water turned off. and it will
cost him Just 81 to have 1t turned on
again. The city will, however, pro-
vide any one with a water meter in
case they wish to have one installed
and pay for the water actually con-
sumed at the rate of IL cents per
thousand gallons. These meters will be
furnished by the city. but must be in
stalled by the one who uses it. This
meter system is now in vogue in South
Bend and other large cities and has
proved big success.

BRIDGE MAINTENANCE
BONE OF CONTENTION
City and Street Car Com
pany in Feud Over Who
Shall Bear Expence.

There is a feud going on between
the officials of the city of Hammond
and the street car company, according
to information received from City At
-torney IeGrand T. Mexer.
The matter came UP as a result of
an interview with the city attorney re-
garding the responsibility for the open
ing of the bridge at Holman street.
Mr.. Meyer said the delay in opening
the bridge was due to the fact that
the thing was so rotten that 1t was
doubtful whether 1t could be closed
every time it was opened.
In explaining why a new bridge was
not built Mr.. Meyer said the matter had
come up, but that the county commits
sioners insisted that the city pay for
its maintenance while the city thought
the street car company whose cars
rattle it to pieces, should shoulder the
expense.
Mr.. Meyers declared that when the
company was given its franchise it
| should have been compelled to pay the
expense of maintaining the bridges that
II used, and that If it were not for the
fact that other traffic would be de-
layed he would be in favor of opening
the bridge and leaving it that way until
the local street railway company agreed
to pay its share of the expense of keep
| ing a new bridge in repair.
There is no question but that there
is a new bridge needed at the Hoh-
man street crossing" said Meyers. but
personally I am not in favor of build
ing one for the benefit of the street cal
company which is the principal bene.
factor and then have the city pay tn,
expense of making the repairs that tn,
street cars make necessary"
Regarding Nick Kahls demand tha
the river be kept open to the passag,
OF boats, Mr.. Meyer said he though
Nick was unreasonable in his demand
| and that he was trying to carry things
with high hand" so far as the navi
cation of the river was concerned

WOUNDED BOYS TELL WEIRD TALE
Young Men Picked Up With Bullet Wounds in Their
Bodies Claim They Were Shot Because They
Asked For Drink of Water

The engineer the young men allege,
replied by reaching for a shot gun and
firing point plank at them. Two Of
them We're hit and the other managed
TO set away.
1t is not known what became Of the
engineer. but section hand happened
upon the scene little latter. and upon
finding the boys badly injured. stopped
the next west wound passenger train
and had them put aboard and brought
to South Chicago.
Here the police decided not to swal-
low their story whole. but to investi-
gate il, and they think it may show
that the three young men attemped
TO take liberties with the engineer and
got what was coming TO them.
The stories of the boys are rather
conflicting. as one of them said they
were shot by a farmer while trying to
Nget the drink.

when the birds would be sold for the
