STARTING A BALKY HORSE.

The way a street car blockade
was raised in Philadelphia the other
day serves Us a lesson for people
who try to conquer balky horses.
Motormen, policemen and the driv-
er of the horse who caused the cars
to accumulate were unable to make
the horse go or to push him off the
track, and the emergency wagon
was about to be sent for when a
young girl stepped out of the crowd
and asked permission to start the
animal. She patted the horses
nose, and then she produced from
her pocket a piece of white candy.
The horse, possessing the sweet
tooth of its kind, nibbled at it, but
for the second piece he had to reach
out and take a step forward. By
the time the third morsel of candy
was eaten the horse was off the
track and business was being re-
sumed.

Costly Private Drives.

"We are building up some pretty
grand private estates," said a mil
lionaire, "but our private estates,
though, do not compare as yet with
those of England. There is, for in
stance, the Duke of Buccleuch's place
at Boughton. The private drive
around this estate is seventy-six
miles long and cost $1,75O,OO0 to
build. The Duke of Argyll has at
Inverary a private drive on the
banks of Loeb Fyne that cost ST.
$4,000, and this drive has trees on
both sides that we're planted by
kings and queens. The Marquis OF
Aylesbury, Lord Overtoun, the Duke
of Westminster and the Duke OF
Devonshire all own private drives
that cost $1,0O0,000 or more to
ld."-Philadelphia Bulletin.

look, dress, talk and act as the men
do at any meeting of city physicians.
The papers presented are quite up

LOSES LIFE WHILE
OUT FOR A SWIM
South Chicago Fireman is
Drowned in Lake
Michigan.
Especial to Lake County Times.p

South Chicago, Aug. 1S.-Arnold
Beam. a fireman in the c.. /. S. & f.
railroad yards. % years old, was
drowned yesterday afternoon, presum-
ably about 2 o'clock in Lake Michigan
off the Calumet river pier near the
foot of Ninety first street. How the
young man met his death can only be
surmised, as nobody was with him
when he disappeared.
Shortly after noon Beam told his en-
gineer, Charles Benton, that he would
go for a swim as he happened to have
a little spare time. Benton stayed near
his engine waiting for Beam to return
and as the latter failed to show up he
telephoned the yard master telling him
that it might be advisable to look
around the water. The clothes were
found on the pier and Mr.. Benton
knowing that under ordinary circum-
stances Beam would not have remained
in the water for such a length of time
began to fear the worst The life
saving station was notified, and about
o'clock the body was brought to the
surface, through the efforts of John
Hansen, E. G.. Morrison and Martin
Anderson.
The remains were removed to Mrs
Murphy's morgue where the inquest
was held at 10 o'clock. Beam lived at
9020 Houston avenue.

SHOT STARTLES
KNIGHTS OF PYTH|AS
Revolver Report in Rimbach
Block Startles Lodge in
Session There.

No little excitement was manifested
about IL o'clock last night along the
street in front of the Rimbach block.
The X of p. were holding their
regular meeting at their lodge rooms
in the Rimbach block when suddenly
a revolver shot issued from the north
end of the building.
The members rushed to the door but
none ventured in the direction of the
spot from whence the shot rang out.
Several went outside the building
and here quite a large crowd gathered
all eager to find the cause of the ex-
element. The police were notified and
two officers went through the building
but found nothing. The crowd that
was in front of the building all swear
that a revolver was fired in the north
end of the building, and one of the
spectators even went so far as to say
he heard a groan following the shot
At the police station this morning
Chief Rimbach said there was nothing
to the shooting as far as the police
could learn.
Several stories were circulated
around the city this morning to the ef-
feet that a murder had been committed
in the building, but this is absolutely
without foundation.

MERCHANT SOLD
TOY GUN TO BOY
Arrested at Highlands, His
Trial is Being Held at
Griffith rs Interesting.

Griffith, Ind, Aug. 13.-Judge Liza
ble's court was busy today with case
of the State against Peter p. Kooy
charged with selling a toy pistol and
waters or caps TO Bonnie Moss Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney Bremen and Tru-
ant officer T. ]. Muzzall of Crown Point
appeared for the State, while Attorney
Meyers, Of Hammond, conducted the
defense.
Bonnie bought a small pistol a t the
Highlands store just before the Fourth
Of July for the purpose of celebrating
that day. To all appearances. it looked
like a real gun, and after the Fourth
was long passed, he enjoyed flashing it
before people at such frequent intervals
that Marshal Harkenriders attention
was called to it and he relieved Bonnie
of what appeared a dangerous weapon.
This was the beginning of Mr.. Kooy's
trouble. Truant officer Muzzall took
Bennies case in hand and after dis
posing of it, proceeded against the
Highland storekeeper who had sold
the gun.
The case came before Judge Liable
today and Lloyd Prince and Harry
Jansen, both about twelve years of age,
were put on the stand and testified
that they We're present at the time
Bennie made the purchase.
Truant officer Muzzali and Marshal
Harkenrider took the stand and both
identified the gun which was produced
in evidence.
Attorney Meyers based his defense
on the fact that Mr. Kooy was not in
the store when the gun was sold, there
fore could not be guilty of the charge
as made in the affidavit. Also that the
gun was not toy pistol as charged
by the complainant, but could be used
to fire cartridges and that being the
case, the toy pistol charge would not
cover the case.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Bremen
in his plea said inasmuch as Mr.. Kooy
was owner of the store and had exposed
for sale such pistols and explosives
| as had been proven were bought there,
he was clearly guilty of the charge
no matter in what manner the ex-
plosives We're made
The judge dismissed court for din
ner and when it convened again he an
nounced his intention of postponing his
decision until he could get a clearer
unders landing if the law on the case

FRIGHTENED HORSE
OVERTURNS BUGGY

Quite a serious accident occurred at
about $50 o'clock last evening at the
Monon tracks in South Hammond A
Chicago man and girl, whose names
could not be learned, were driving
along the South Hammond road and
when just about to cross the Monon
tracks their horse became frightened
at a passing picnic train and. rearing
to one side, plunged into the ditch, up
setting the vehicle and throwing out
the occupants. j. B. Ort and w. f.
Brunt who were near when the acct
dent occurred, ran to their assistance
and unhitched the horse. They then
turned their attention to the man and
woman. Both, however, were uninjur-
ed save for slight bruises. In remoy-
ing the buggy it was found that the
shaft had been broken and the left
rear wheel was minus two spokes.
After repairing the rig as best they
could the party went on their way to
Hammond. 1t is believed that they
were driving a Hammond outfit. Both
of the parties refused TO give their
names TO Mr.. Brunt or Mr.. Ortt, but
the man said he was from Chicago.
