FORGER TAKEN
BACK TO MARION
Roy Shelly, Arrested Here,
Returned to Scene of
Crime.

Roy Shelly. the youthful forger who
was arrested in Hammond yesterday
by Captain Bunde, was taken back to
Marion, Ind. last night by Captain
Thompson Of the Marion police force
on the $3.50 Monon train.
Captain Thompson arrived in Ham
mond yesterday afternoon and at once
went to the station, where he identi-
fed Shelly as his man.
When he asked Shelley If he was
ready 70 go back the prisoner said;
Yes. l am ready and suppose l might
IS we'll face it now as any time" He
admitted forging the checks.
Captain Thompson was not aware of
Shelley's being married until so in
formed by Chief Rimbach. He said he
did not believe the boys parents or any
one at Kokomo. where his home IS To-
Gated, knew of this fact II ii is a fact
Letters on the prisoners person ad-
dressed to Shelley. were addressed to.
My Dear Sweetheart and Husband"
Shelley has forged several checks in
Kokomo. Ind. but as his father al
ways settled up he was never prose-
cuted. His father is said to have set
tied for several of his forgeries, but
when his son came to Marion and
forged a check on a saloonkeeper nam
ed McHaffy for $4,000 the elder Shelley
refused to settle and as a result the
authorities got out warrant for young
Roy's arrest. The latter. however, got
next in time to leave the city before
he was arrested.
The young forger denied that he had
ever been handcuffed before and after
the bracelets" had been adjusted he
requested one of the officers TO place
a cigar in his mouth and light it for
him. This being done Captain Thomp-
son and his prisoner started for the
train
All of the officers at the station said
that for taking things cool Shelley had

SEE SAFETY IN
THE HIGHWAYS
Too Much Agitation Prom
ises to Save Cities and
Towns Law.
Especial to Lake County Times,

Indianapolis. Feb. 22.@There is little
question but that the fight for the
preservation OF the cities and towns
law Will have to be made in the senate
committee and on the floor Of the SEN
ate
Morgan bill, changing the present law
IN manner indicated in these col
umns some days ago. The temper of
the house has shown Itself as being
decidedly in favor of cutting down OF
the expenses Of the present law.
The opponents Of the change have
strong friends in the senate, however
In the first place, it Is understood that
there are only two members of the
senate cities and towns committee that
are in favor OF any change in the
bill-and they are the minority mem
bers, Stotsenberg from New Albany
and Kistler from Logansport. All of
the republican members. including
Bowser and Kirkman OF Richmond are
said to be opposed to any change.
Present Law Not Perfect.
The senate committee does not be-
lieve that the present law is perfect,
but the position that the majority of
the members take is that rather than
see II shot all to pieces, the present
law Shdl De permitted 10 Stand, at
least another two years. and thus get
a complete tryout before 1t is passed
upon finally. Such will probably be
the attitude of the committee when the
matter comes before 1T.
Though the companion of the Nor
gan bill has been introduced in the
senate by Senator Stotsenberg, it is
probable that the committee will take
no action on 1t, preferring to wait to
see what the house will do for the Nor
gan bill. If the house passes this bill.
then the senate committee will take
1t up and the fight will come The
senate committee will have open hear
ings on the bill before it is reported
out, in all likelihood.

WORK CLOTHIER FOR
PANTS AND MONEY
Crook Passes Forged Check
After Feigning to Verify
Same.

This morning man giving his name
as F. G. Long went into the Hub
Clothing store in North Holman street
and, buying a pair of trousers, pre-
sented First National bank check for
s24.50 made payable to P. c. Long and
signed with Willard ]. Thompson's
name.
Mr.. Steg1itz examined the check and
when he did not want to cash it the
fellow said it was all right and step
ping TO the phone, called up a number
and told the proprietor that Mr..
Thompson was on the wire and would
verify his statements about the check.
Mr.. Steglitz asked the man if the
check was all right and he said it was.
so he accepted it and gave his custo-
mer the change.
After the man went out Steglitz ex-
amined the check more carefully and
noticed that there was no number on
1t so he at once called up the Thomp-
son house and he was told by Mrs.
Thompson that her husband had not
been at home all morning and that she
knew nothing about the check. Mr..
Steglitz st once took the matter to the
police, who began securing the city in
the hopes OF finding the man.

Inquiries developed the fact that
probably the same man in company
with pal had been in A. Marks store
in State street and had tried the same
thing presenting a check for s26 on a
First National bank check. made out
payable to the order of Frank Cor
bett and signed with Thompson's s
name. Mr.. Marks took the check and
told the fellow he would go out and
cash IT for him, and while he was gone
the fellows walked out and failed 10

a worthless check.
About an hour after the forgery this
morning the two men were said to
have been seen going down West State

be in West Hammond.
Steglitz believes the men who heeced
him are members OF an organized band.

Scesz Seves, Austria Hungary. This
was before he came TO America and be-
came a prosperous bank clerk in the
booming town OF Indiana Harbor, Ind.
During the four years which followed
the memorable day when Campain bade
farewell to Miss Dico and left on q big
Atlantic liner for the United States he
did not even write to the girl who had
been his European sweetheart and of
course she did not write to him
In the meantime the Austrian was
becoming Americanized and sought to
win the favor of some OF the attractive
young women he saw over here. Ac-
cording to his own confession the
American girls were rather distant and
unapproachable and finally he tired Of
forcing his attentions upon unwilling
and unappreciative American girls and
began to think OF his old Sweetheart in
Scesz Seves.
Needed a Wife.
He had a good position and was earn
ing a good salary and the help and en-
couragment of a wife was what he
needed.
With this conviction he wrote the
first letter to Florica Dico that she had
received since his departure four years
previously and in this letter he pro-
posed that she come to the United
States and marry him.
Florica answered soon after and said
that she would like to come but she
was afraid Of the waves and the storms
and did not like TO leave home alone.
She said she would marry him but she
wanted the marriage to take place in

Because the Diana Hunting and Fish,

lease OF some $4,000 acres Of the
choicest hunting and fishing ground in
northern Indiana. sportsmen of that
section are up in arms and threats are
made that an appeal viii be taken to

have a stop put to It,
The Hammond sportsmen who have
been taking trips to the Kankakee
river every spring. are up in arms over
the report that their favorite game re-
serve is to be despoiled by Chicago
sportsmen. The tyranny OF the own
ers OF the Toleston club IS still fresh IN
the memory CT local sports and they will
do all IN their power to prevent the
necessity of having to cope with a
similar situation at the Kankalxee
hunting grounds.
The Diana club is reported to be one
of the richest In the country and yes
terday closed the lease with the In-
I T.

Hence the Indignation
The land was purchased by the
Strauss syndicate several years ago

selling It as farm lands, but after
diligent effort to drain it the game pre-
serve idea was brought forth.
/ Feeling is so strong against the
movement Of Illinois sportsmen COM

that it viii be another case similar to
the Toleston club. another Chicago club
that owns the hunting right on Calu-
met marsh. This marsh has been the
scene of many murders during past
years. brought about by preachers who
entered upon the leased property IN
search of game. SO eager are the club
members for game that they employ
watchmen and in the case Of the Toles-
ton club innocent sportsmen were shot
down and their bodies picked up later
In the marsh.
Sportsmen in Hammond. LaPorte,
Valparaiso, Crown Point, Michigan
City, South Bend and in fact all the
cities in the northern section Of In

marsh are banding together and will
make a finish fight of the matter, and
propose If the state Legislature will
lend it's assistance to drive the foreign
hunter from the state. who now, under
the present game preserve arrange
ment, holds the whip hand over the
hoosier.
The conditions this year point to the
best season for hunting in a number
OF years past. The water is high,
especially on the preserve just ac-
quired by the Diana club, owing to the
erection of a huge dixie on the north
side of the river, which throws the
water IN great torrents onto syndicate
