for disorderly conduct And thereby
hangs a tale
Stanley, it appears, has been madly
in love with a young woman named
Mary Kahn, who lives at S256 Bond
avenue. Mary was unusually charming
and Stanley had a consuming ambition
to make her his own. He therefore
called upon her last evening with the
purpose fondly cherished in his bosom of
confding to Miss Kahn his tender pas
sion. He confided, but there was moth

Stanley retired after some urging of
his suit but the fact that he had been
Tilted ranked He decided his feelings
must have a vent and putting on his
hat started for the dwelling OF his be-
loved. 1t is believed he had not walked
directly thither, but stopped en- route
at places where liquid refreshments
are served. At any rate when he
reached the house he was in a frame
of mind that is apt to accompany a
too liberal consumption of ardent
spirits. He picked up d rock and hurled
il toward the window of the hitherto
idol of his dreams. There was a
crash that aroused the neighborhood,
but this did not suffice to sooth Stan
ley's rufhed spirits. He hurled another

men in the city of Whiting on account
of his service on the police force and

jured, is the foreman of the switching
crew and is not so seriously injured as
is Reed. He is also married and has
a family in Englewood. He was taken

are the embassy buildings. the homes
of the foreign representatives and the
handsome avenues lined with costly
dwellings where statesmen and their
families reside during the busy months
when the executive business is carried
on. Then but a short distance from
Washington stands Mt. Vernon, the old
home of President George Washington
where the girls can revel in delightful
Virginia scenery. With all these
places to be visited. the day will be
short indeed for the young womer
and they will have to crowd events
bit to see all the places.
From the start, the sight-seers have
been in the best of health and each
and every one of them has been able
to enjoy every minute of the trip

Quartette of Whiting Boys
Leave Home for Wild
and Woody West.
ONE LEAVES A NOTE
Missive Explains That Writer is En-
Route to Texas-Mother
Almost Crazed.
Especial to Lake Comfy TImes.)

Whiting, Ind, Aug. 6.-Fired with
a desire to go to the wild west, Will
lam Hamlin and three of his compan-
ions, James and Arnold Mccormick
and Roy LaBounty left home at
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon and
up until a late hour in the evening
had not been located.
note was found in the home of
the Hamlin boy in which he said he
was going to Texas and that his par
ents need not expect to hear from him
soon.
The police have been notified and an
effort will be made to find the boys
and bring them back to derive the
benefits of a good homemade spank
ing.
The Hamlin boy is an only son and
the mother is nearly crazed with grief
because of his disappearance. 1t is
is not known why the boys ran away
except that they got into the company
of some other rather adventuresome
boys are determined to. get out and
shift for themselves.
The boys are all about 13 or IA years
old and are from well known families
The whole town is stirred up over
their disappearance and as the par
ents are worked up over the affair
an extra effort will be made to find
the wanderers as soon as possible.
A brother of the LaBounty boy, ii
will be remembered, was arrested fol
stealing some trivial things some time
ago and afterwards went to Texas tc
stay with relatives.
He ghas been known in the neighbor-
hood as a bad boy and it is believed
bis letters to his brother have beer

Already There is Talk of
Successor to Virgil
S. Reiter.
NJ MlHON GOOD BET
Friends Quietly Canvass County in
His Behalf-Shortridge's
Job Coveted.

Although the summer is but half
gone. and the cool waves of the au-
tumnaI season are yet to be in evil
dence. the political waves are com
mencing to ripple along the political
beach in this vicinity in a manner that
promises to develop them into full
hedged breakers before election day
draws near. All over the county the
undercurrent is showing itself and in
Hammond especially the eddies and
whirlpools in embryo are seen.
To start with. there promises to be
a big fight on the judgeship OF the Lake
superior court. United States Com
missioner Virgil s. Reiter was recently
appointed to the bench, to fill out the
term until Jan. l, 1909 In all prob
ability he viii be a candidate for re-
election. and without doubt, from ap-
pearances at the present time he Will
be strongly opposed by the democrats.
The election will come in November,
1903, but already the democrats all over
the county are beginning to show signs
of life.
From the present outlook Judge Will
lam w. Mcmahon of the city court will
oppose Judge Reiter. His friends all
over the county are at the present time
mentioning his name IN connection with
the office. while others are hustling at
the present time for him. Judge Nc
Mahon himself states that he has not
thought about the office. and knows
nothing of the influence working
amongst his friends. Judge Mcmahon
would make one of the strongest candi-
dates that could be put up against
Judge Reiter.
Mr.. Shortridge. the present court
reporter. is soon to take the Of
hce Of clerk to which he was elected.
and there are three candidates work
Ing hard to fill his shoes They are M.
l. Lynch CT I.owefI, Newton Hembroff
of Saulte St. Marie. formerly of Ham
mond, and w. c. Harrison. The latter
seems to have the backing of Con
gressman Crumpacker and Postmaster
GostHn and is the favorite for the po-
sition at the present time. All three
are strong candidates and they ar,
lining up their friends in great shape
Hembroff is to return to Hammond
and is said to be backed by the In
dams a strong factor in the republic
an ranks locally, led by Attorney Nc
Aleer. All taken together Hammond
should be a busy place as far politics
go, in a few months.

troubles with the latter ever since Con-

A few days ago sympathetic gentle-

privilege by the city OF at once putting
the said idea into execution. II was
soon discovered that the city had been
handed another lemon. The man had

ground the sand into the tar. Now
the curbing is black and the street is
white and in almost as bad condition,
as il was before it was paved at all, so
the city is in a stew as to what move

pouting about the demand. but the Of
fcials say they would gladly accede to
this request if the city would but ex-
tend their franchise for a period OF
fifty years.
Another matter taken up by the city
council was the drawing up OF an or

broken rail was responsible. The en-.
gine passed over the place in safety and
several OF the forward coaches had
passed when one of the rear coaches
swerved from the rail. The engineer
applied the emergency brakes and the
train was brought TO a hurried stop.
Rails and ties had been torn up by
the wheels of the coach and the run
ming gear of the coach itself was badly
damaged. After nearly three hours
work the rail was replaced by wreck
ing crew sent out from Chicago and
the coach was replaced upon the
rails. Had the train been proceeding
at the usual rate of speed a serious
accident would have resulted.
