THE ENDLESS ENDLESS CHAIN
Another Series of Letters Breathing
Religious Frenzy Being Cir
culated by Crank

Some person who is evidently suf-
fering from religious mania, has start
ed an endless chain letter containing
prayer and declaring that whoever
fails to copy and send the letter to
nine other persons within as many
days will experience some great mis-
fortune, while the person who com
plies with its provisions will be at the
expiration of the stated number of
days, be the recipient of untold bless
ing.
The letter purports to be sent out by
Bishop Main" and some copies have
been received in Hammond One of
recipients turned over the letter she
had received to THE LAKE COUNTY
TIMES in a desire that the futility of
the endless chain" which has been
exposed as a fraud time and again
be further exploited. The present let
ter asks no donation, and is evidently
written by some harmless crank The
prayer it contains is as follows:
"Oh. Lord Jesus Christ we impIore
thee, o Daniels God to have mercy or
all mankind keeping US from all evil
and taking US with Thee through ali
eternity. Amen"

Miss Culbert returned home rather
late in the evening, having been in
the company of friends for number
of hours. Upon reaching her home she
found the door open and the light out,
which was contrary to her mothers
custom. At first she thought some
thing was amiss. but she hurried to
her room and dismissed the thought
She went TO bed and dozeG of and
though tired, was suddenly broad
awake. Miss Culbert saw the strang-

that she could identify him if she
saw him again.
The intruder was evidentally some

Tt the Standard Steel Car company's
plant, a large portion of the fence was
broken down and the scaffolding on
some of the buildings was blown away.

FROM POVERTY
To AFFLUENCE
John Robinson, Local Gam
bier, Rich But He
Don't Know 1t.
INHERITs A FORTUNE
Lawyers Out Here Yesterday to
Search for Heir Whose Real
Name Is Detcher.

When John Robinson, a we'll known
Hammond gambler. reads his LAKE
COUNTY TINES this evening he Will
know for the first time that he has
fallen heir to $4,000 or 100000 as a
result of the death of an uncle by the
name of Detchen. John Robinson is
not the real, but the assumed name of
the lucky man who, for several years
has lived in this vicinity and has had
the ups and downs that come to the
men who live from the profits of games
of chance.
Robinson's uncle, whose name is also
DeGn-n and who lives in some town
in Illinois. died at the age of so years
after short illness.
4-,.t. yer~ ~oInc mere to Search for Him.
Yesterday two lawyers came out
from Chicago and made inquiries for
Detchen, which is Robinson's real
name. They of course, did not know
that he was going under an assumed
name and might have given up the
search without locating him here, If
one of his associates, Ike Hermes. had
aware of his uncle's name and fortune.
Robinson is a character. At one
time he was worth in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, which he had won
from gambling At various other
times in his life he is said to have
made a fortune. But he would no
sooner make a killing than luck
would go against him and all would be
lost.
Now Down and Out.
At the present time he Is said TO be
down ana out, and three or four days
ago he left Hammond feeling very blue
at his continued poor luck. He left
this city for Indiana Harbor where he
generally hangs around the Sunny
Sheath saloon. A telephone message
to this place failed to locate him, how
ever, and the proprietor there said he
had gone to Chicago a day or so ago
Robinson is said to be one of the
sharpest and cleverest gamblers in the
country. At poker and other card
games he is so tricky that his work
is said to be nothing short of astonish-
ing. His friends say that If he would
keep his tricks to himself instead OF
showing them off to his friends he could
win any amount of money from then
and they would never know how he
did it.
Makes Occasional SOrties.
Occasionally when he gets hard VI
he is believed to make trips to part:
of the country where he is not known
and there by sharp work, make:
enough money to stake himself agail
when he returns to his old haunts.
1t is believed that the difficulty IL
locating him now is due to the fac
that he is out on one of these raids o
his and will not return until he has ;
good sized bank roll
When he does return it will be t
find himself a wealthy man, but nom
of his friends believe he will keel
his money long. There will be a few
wild plunges. He may double his for
tune. but in the end he will be
penniless man
He has lost the sense of value o
things. say those who know him
$4,000 or $4,000 means simply an op
portunity to plunge. When that /
gone he has lost but little, for outsid
of the fact that the money would pro
vide the comforts of life. 1t mean
nothing to him.
