Here is an English method Of bot

sound and not fully ripe. After pick
ing over, heading and failing in the
case Of gooseberries. black currants.
etc. 1t is packed tightly down in the
bottles, care being taken to keep the
outside layer even. All the fruit
vhould be carefully graded and only
the best used. The bottles of fruit
are then filed to the top with water;
rubber rings (Which should be the
cylindrical ones) are soaked In warm
water and put round the necks of the
bottles. and the tops tightly clipped
on. The bottles are next stood in the
sterilizer, which is filled with water
halfway up the bottles. or rather
more II gas or fire heat Is used. and
closed with the thermometer In posi-.
tion. The temperature Is run up very
slowly mot more than one degree per
minute), SO that the process should
take from one hour 40 minutes to two
hours. When the required tempera-
ture is reached. steam Is regulated so
that 1t remains steady for 20 to 80
minutes. according to the kind Of
fruit The bottles should, II possible.
be left In the sterllizer till cold. In
any case they must not be uncllpped
till cold. When this is done, the caps
should be firmly fixed and the bottles
entirely airtight.

HELD UP AT STATE LINE
Hegewisch Man Relieved OF
$18 by Robbers Who
Threaten Death.

While walking along the e., J. & r.
railroad tracks near the state line yes
terday. Walter Young of Ontario ave-
nue.. Hegewsch. was held up and
robbed by two men. who jumped from
the side Of the track and leveled a re-
volver at his head. The men came
upon their victim too quickly to give
him chance to make a fight or TO es-
cape and while one of them made him
hold up his hands. the other went
through his pockets and relieved him
of SIS. Then with curses and threats
they told him to be on his way or he
would be killed. lie reported the rob
bery to the East Side police and the
Hammond officers were then put on the
chase. Officers worked on both sides OF
the line, but We're unable to find the
two men who We're concerned in the
holdup.
From the description OF the two men,
given by Young, It is thought that
they were the same individuals who
took part in the East Chicago and
Whiting robberIes and likewise in the
Hammond breaks two weeks ago. One
was described as being about 25 years
OF age. five feet ten inches tall, weigh
ing about 80 pounds and or dark COM
plexion. The other was about the
same age, but was much shorter than
his companion and wore a corduroy
can.

HAMMOND AND CROWN
POINT PLAY To TIE
Second Contest Ends O to O
After Game in Field of
Snow Saturday.
COUNTY SEAT BOYS IMPROVED
Hammond Expected to Have Another
Walkover, But Find Opponents
Ready to Fight.

The second contest between the Ham
mond High school and Crown Point
ended Saturday with neither team car
rying off the hOnors Of the day. The
field was SO poor that no team could
have scored had they the ability and the
score is no Indication of the strength
of the teams. There was no scoring
done in either half. Right from the
start to Hammond eleven outplayed
their opponents but were unable to
register any points because Of the con-
dition of the field, which was not only
unlevel but was covered with snow
1t is said that the county seat boys
now concede THE LAKE COUNTY TINES
cup to the purple and white and will
deliver it in a few days
Crown Point was wonderfully i'm
proved since the previous game which
was played in this city and in which
they were showed under to the tune of
% to 0. They were stronger in every
department of the game but still have
a long way to go TO equal the local
eleven. The game can in no way, how
ever. go to determine anything in the
championship of the county. The
county seat boys put up the scrappy
game that characterizes them on their
home grounds. They not only fought
hard in the game but disputed every
decision of the referee
Several times the Hammond boys
would free themselves and start down
the field for long runs but would slip
and be caught because of the snowy
field In one instance a Crown Point
man got away, but in lodging an OPP
ponent who intercepted him he ran
out of bounds and in that way managed
to get around him. The referee, who
was Coach Alice of the Hammond
team, called the man back, much tc
the disgust Of the large number OF
Crown Point rooters, who did noi
know that he had crossed the line
Many of them still believe that they
were entitled to the five points.

RAILROAD DETECTIVES
REJOICE IN ARREST
Regard Capture of Mike
Filkenski at Gary as
Most Important.
PRISONER FILES $1,000 CASH
Shirt, Which Was One Of Stolen Lot
Furnishes Strong Evidence
Against Him.
Especial to Lake County Times.) }

Gary, Ind, Nov. 18-Mike Filkenski,
who was arrested last Friday night by
Chief Joseph Martin. assisted by Ser
geant Klopf, on the charge of having
received stolen goods, filed a $4,000
cash bond before Justice of the Peace
A. c. Huber for his appearance for
trial.
In railroad and police circles the ar
rest of Mike Filkenski and eight-year-
old Helen Grodavich, the infantile Leah
Kleschner, is still the sensation of the
hour, and grows as one crime after
another is unearthed. So important is
the capture of Ftlkenski considered in
railroad circles that the chiefs of the
detective agencies Of the Wabash rail
road and the Lake Shore appeared in
Gary in person this morning to take
the situation in hand. J. B. SolIitt,
chief agent of the Wabash, thinks the
case so important that he would not
trust it to any of his men, and prom
ises to remain on the ground until he
sees the gang entirely broken up. S.
c. Rank, chief detective agent for the
Lake Shore, has during his short stay
accomplished material work and prom
ises more arrests within a few days
saying that he has already located
stores of loot from the freight cars
Are First in Their Class.
The breaking up of this gang that
operates through South Chicago and
Lake and Porter counties in Indiana
means the breaking up of a gang OF
freight train robbers that has no sec
ond in the country for cunningness
audacity and the amount of loot stoler
annually. In the capture of Mike Fill
kenski, for which the credit goes tc
Chief Martin and Sergeant Klopf, the
railroad detectives believe that they
have at least the brother of the ring
leader Of the gang. and are confident
that in the near future they can lay
their hands on the rest of the gang.
The undershirt that Mike Fnkensk
wore at the time of his arrest was hi:
final undoing, and when on trial h,

that the shirt that he wore was of tn,

MEN MEET
Indiana Harbor to Adopt
System Of Cashiers
Checks Like Hammond.

Indiana Harbor, Nov. 1S=Special-
The business men of this city held
meeting this afternoon at three o'clock
at which the matter of restoring public
confidence among the business men of
the city was taken up,
The purpose of the meeting was also
similar to the one which was held in
Hammond a short time ago and which
lead to the acceptance by the merchants
of cashiers checks in order that the
Standard Steel Car company's pay roll
might be made up.
The Inland Steel company has been
issuing checks of its own in lieu of the
cash and it was thought that there
would be no difficulty in inducing the
merchants to accept them for payment
for the commodities which they sold.
It seems, however, that some of the
merchants have refused to accept these
checks and the result naturally was
that they did not pass freely as cur
rency and that great deal of mistrust
was caused by their circulation.
This worked TO destroy confidence on
the part of the workingmen and the
merchants a well and soon it was seen
that a meeting would have to be called
at which the whole matter could be
cleared up and some understanding
reached among the busines men regard
ing the circulation of script.
The meeting this afternoon accomp-
lished the desired results. Several
speeches were made by Indiana Harbor
business men and it was shown that
unless the business men accepted the
INLAND Steel company's checks the
workingmen would not accept them and
it would make it necessary for the
mills to shut down.
The speeches were all reasuring and
/ it is believed that Indiana Harbor viii
/ face the financial stringency in the
same determined manner that Ham
mond and other cities in the Calumet
region have faced it and that from now
on the script viii be accepted the same
as cash so long as it is necessary.

$4,000 IN COAL BURNS
Ali Call Turned in Before
F'iremen Can Extinguish
Stubborn Blaze.
Especial to Lake County Times.)

South Chicago. Nov. 18.-A big fire
in the yards of the Lincoln-S Springfield
Coal company yesterday did $4,000
worth of damage to the sheds and fuel
which was stored in them. Owing TO
the fact that several hundred tons Of
coal had caught fire the firemen had
great difficulty in extinguishing the
blaze 1t was found necessary to send
in al" call to prevent the consum-
ing of the entire plant. The size of
the shed was 300 by $50 feet and was
situated at the corner of Eighty-ninth
street and the Illinois Central tracks.
The blaze was quite spectacular as
the material in the sheds was dry and
very infammable. Tons Of coal were
consumed before it could be flooded
with water and the blaze finally extin-
guished The fire was supposed to have
started from spark caused by pass
ing engine. The watchman on the
place discovered the blaze and sent in
the first call 1t had gained such a
headway however, that when the local
department arrived, it was deemed best
to send in a AL" call at once
