Groom on Serious
Charges,

Judge Girten today Joined in the
holy bonds of marrimony William
Voight of Hammond and Grace Broz of
9117 Houston avenue, in chambers of
the South Chicago city court. The
wedding of the parties TO the ceremony
was announced in Hammond as having
occurred some time ago, and the fact
that the first announcement was false
alarm will probably surprise a good
many Hammond friends of the groom,
who has frequently introduced Miss
Broz as his wife in the Indiana town.
The marriage is the sequel of pro-
ceedings begun in the criminal branch
of the city court last Sunday, when
Voight was arrested on complaint of
the young woman by officers of the
Sixteenth precinct police station as he
was riding on a South Deering car. On
the previous day Voight was held up by
Miss Broz at Ninety-fl first street and
Commercial avenue and his watch was
torn from its chain. The girl alleged
that Voight had pawned her watch and
she wanted something in return. Po-
licemen attracted to the scene obliged
the girl to return the timepiece.
Miss Broz told the police that she

seen that a strike was inevitable unless
the officials of the street railway com
pany relented and reinstated Merriam.
From present indications the railway
officials will stand firm on their refusal
to reemploy Merriam and one of the
most extended labor disturbances since
the Pullman strike is looked for
Merriam was an employe of the com
pany and the business manager of the
Suburban. one of the strongest labor
organs in the Calumet region. AS
the matter of a raise in wages of con-
ductors and motormen will be consid-
cred IN a few weeks and will have to
be settled between the unions and the
street railway company, it is believed
by many union men that Merriam was
discharged because OF his activity in
union affairs and that his discharge
is the firing OF the first gun in a long
drawn out battle between the unions
and the South Chicago City railway

MANY BRUTES ARE SHOT
Police to Wage War Relentlessls
Against Animals Inflicted
With Rabies.

The residents and police of South
Chicago are up in arms to prevent an
epidemic of the rabies in the CANNES
about the city, and owing to the many
cases brought to light during the past
few weeks, there is serious belief that
a number of dogs win have to be shot.
1t is thought that several animals have
been bitten during the past few days
by the dogs that were afflicted, and
that unless serious precautions are
taken the city will have a mad dog
scare on it's hands during the next few
weeks, especially If the weather turns
out hot The police under Captain
Dorman have waged a relentless war

half a dozen shot guns is ready in the
station house for all emergency calls
Last week several dogs went mad and
without a doubt spead the dread dis
ease amongst the neighboring pets, and
many people had narrow escapes from
being bitten by the animals.
Last week a big Newfoundland dog
showed all the signs about the vicinity
of Seventy ninth street and Ontario
avenue and with foam hanging from
its jaws, it worked havoc among the
smaller animals and people in the vicin-
| ity. 1t was finally corraled and shot BY
the police. Yesterday another dos
went mad in Cheltenham and was sho-
by the police after ii had bitten severa
dogs. The police will now rigidly en-
force the law in regard to the muzzl
ing and tagging of dogs in South Chi
cago. and the owners have been noti
fed to look after their pets.

Talk of Air Line.

Mayor Darrow of LaPorte. together
with Harry Darling. the editor OF the
Argus Bulletin Of that city were in
Hammond yesterday looking after
business interests.
AS both the mayor and the editor
live in LaPorte, which is the scene of
greatest activity on the route of the
proposed Chicago to New York electric
railway they are enthusiastic over it's
future and prophesy great things for
the new line.
Mayor Darrow is himself interested
in securing franchises on certain
streets in Gary and although he did not
admit the fact that the road in which
he is interested is TO be a feeder for
the air line. il is reported that such is
the case
One of the possibilities of the future
according to the mayor. is a traffic ar
rangement between the Chicago New
York line and the Chicago. Lake Shore
and South Bend interurban by which
the former will unite with the latter
and enter Chicago over the Illinois
CentraFs right OF way.
Another Possibility.
1t was also suggested that the Chi
cago-New York line might make some
arrangements with the Western Indi-
ana railroad by which entrance to Chi
cago might be made over the lines OF
this road. This would take the all
/ line directly through Hammond and 81
all that is prophesied for the new
| road is realized. would be a great thing
I for the city.
/ Another interesting thing learned #
connection with the construction OF the
new road is the fact that all countr!
roads are to be crossed either by
