SHOOTING SHROUDED
IN DEEP MYSTERY
Wound Received by Ernest
Rachou; Facts Concealed
From Police.

A very mysterious shooting affair
was reported TO the police last even
ing in which Ernest Rachou of 19S
South Central avenue. Chicago, was
shot in the back with weapon. pre-
sumably a revolver, in which a 22-cali-
bre cartridge was used.
1t is said the young man has been
in the hospital for several days and
that three of his friends visit him
frequently. but they are trying to keep
the matter quiet and so even the po-
lice did not know Of it until last even
ing.
1t is understood that the shooting
took place in Hammond in saloon
but the name of the place could not
be obtained. 1t is not known whether
the affair was an accident or the re
suit Of a quarrel. but the police will
probably investigate the matter.
Rachou was not dangerously injur-
ed. it is said. and yesterday he was
taken to Chicago by his friends.

Carl Peters Dives Into Oily
Waters at Ninety second
Street Bridge.
WINS A LARGE WAGER
Would Not Take Dare From Friends
and Spoils His Clothes-Wager
VIII Buy New Ones.

Dared by his friends to jump from
the Ninety second street bridge in
South Chicago. yesterday afternoon. in
to the dark and oily waters of the
Calumet river, Carl Peters a well
known resident of this district bet $50
that he would and when the wager
was accepted, he leaped into the river
with his best Sunday clothes. and after
swimming around a little landed on a
pier and collected the money.
The little stunt was witnessed by
several hundred people on their way
to the circus and the plunge caused a
sensation. When Peters came to the
bank dripping wet, little the worse for
his plunge except that his clothes were
ruined completely, he was given a great
hand by the audience for his daring.
The bridge is fully 40 feet over the
surface of the water which runs swift
ly at this point.
The draw was open at the time to
allow a vessel passage, and Peters with
his friends was on the west end. The
bet was no sooner made than Peters
without waiting to divest himself of
coat, hat or shoes, dived off the end of
the pier and landed with a splash. He
was gone for few seconds and soon
appeared blowing the blue oil that
spreads over the top of the water along
the river from his mouth. He swan
around laughing and after he landed
went home to change his clothes and to
wash the oil and Stag from his face
He was $50 richer and can now afford
to replace the suit of clothes and the
apparel destroyed.

SOUTH CHICAGO
LIKE WHITE CITY
Dust From Cement Works
Touches up Houses and
Stores With Enamel.

South Chicago was turned into a
white city last Saturday evening and
Sunday found even the inhabitants
looking about to find what had come
over the section. Houses were turned
in the night from their original color
to a beautiful tinge of white that
shone in the morning sunlight like
coat sof enamel. Fences, storefronts,
and in fact everything along the streets
throughout the business section was
of the same color and gave South Chi
cago the Jpearance of a ghost city.
While it was pretty to look upon, it
was not enjoyed in the least bit by the
people. Windows were almost made
useless by the change and the house
wives were compelled to bring out the
pail and scrubbing brush before they
wended their way to church. Electric
wires and cables looked as though
Jack Frost had layed a heavy hand
upon them, and the sidewalks gave all
the appearance of a frosty morning.
The cause of the phenomena was the
| east wind primarily and the cement
works of the Illinois Steel company
secondly. With this combination, the
dampness of the houses added the final
touch and the result was more than
/ was expected. The fine dust from the
works was borne upon the east wind
and carried across the city settling up
on everything out of doors. 1t stuck
to the houses and objects like glue ow-
| ing to the moistened conditions. and
| soon hardened to almost an enamel. 1t
was washed off a bit last night in the
heavy rain but is still visible.

BrOadways Paving Considered.
Among other questions considered

Gary. T. w. McRea. of Gary. and N. H.

opened and it was apparent from their
reading that the two local men had
far underbid the two outsiders. The
matter was taken under advisement
and the contract viii be formally
awarded next week at the regular
meeting. Some little time was then
spent discussing the Improvement OF
Broadway south of the Pennsylvania
and the Improvement on Monroe street
north Of the same road. The entire
community south OF the wabash is
filling up so rapidly that the lack OF
graded streets and highways IS very
apparent by the efforts OF the residents
to get them improved.

Five Film Flam Workers
Caught in South
Chicago.
WANT TRIAL BY JURY
Men Are Identified by Victims
Thrilling Chase With Horses
on Commercial Avenue.

After a thrilling chase along Com
mercial avenue, early Saturday night
in which five film fam artists in a light

men in a light delivery wagon figured,
the crooks were captured at the point
of the officers pistols and are now
locked up at the South Chicago police
station. The men worked in a gang,
and all have been identified as old
timers at the art by the police and
fully twenty store-keepers from all
parts of Chicago, and surrounding
towns will be on hand today to identi-
fy the men as having worked the game
upon them.
The five men blew into South Chi

of Mrs. ]. Mamkrowski, at S742 Com
mercial avenue. the other three went
along to 1896 Commercial avenue where
they went into the store Of Mrs S.
Maguesweski. The methods employed
by the men was the same in both
places. They purchased a small article
valued at about 10 cents and offered

man would direct some question at her
to attract her attention, and while she
was not looking the other crook would
reach into the change and abstract a
large bill. generally a five spot. They
would then demand the full chance and
when the woman would refuse they
threatened her with arrest. After
working the two stores they went once
more to the store Of Mrs. S. Stern.

The crooks saw the approach of the
wagon and at once jumped into their
vehicle, whipped up the horse and fed
down Commercial avenue. Three Of the
officers jumped out of the wagon and
ran to the sidewalk where horse, at
tached TO a light wagon was doing
peacefully. After waking up the ami
NAL they gave chase down the street
and after a few blocks rapidly over
hauled the thieves. owing to the fatigue
of the little black horse from its long
drive from Chicago. Once abreast OF
the pirate vehicle the officers drew their
revolvers and told the men that If they
did not stop they would shoot This
