took place in Fineberg's tailor shop, a
pear of heavy shears figured as a
weapon. Both men were badly beaten
up.
Several years ago Charles Pitzele, the
proprietor of the Boston Store in East
Chicago, had as his manager, william
Smallberg. There was some difficulty
about the payment of Sma11berg's SAL
ary, he claiming, according to a COM
plant now on file in the superior court,
that Pitzele owed him $9245.10 in back
salary and $333s.2o as one-half of the
net profits from the sale of certain
goods according to an agreement.
The feeling between the two men
has been growing for some time and
yesterday when they men in Fine
berg's tailor shop, an argument soon
developed into a fight.
SmalIberg Grabs Shears.
1t is said that Pitzele was getting the
best of the fight when Smallberg
pened to be lying near and went after
Pitzele with a vengeance. He jabbed
him in the back with them, cut him
about the face and finally taking hold
Of the blades, he began to use them as
hammer. This was too much for
Pitzele and he retreated under the
blows.
Both men were seen later IN the
day and were bandaged in sufficient
numbers to indicate the desperation
with which they fought The fight is
the talk of the town over at East Chi
cago and if there are not further hos
tilities before the October term of court
when the civil case is set for trial
there will at least be an interesting
legal fight over their difficulties.
Smallberg is Pitzele's nephew.

WHITING FOLK
ARE LOYAL
Business Men Have Banquet
Under Auspices of I'm
provement Assn.
IS A R0USING MEETING
Express Confidence In Home Town
Oil City Flirts With Robertsdale
Many Things Discussed.

Whiting had a revival meeting last
night at John O'Keefe's new cafe when
the business men of the city banqueted
under the auspices of the Whiting I'm
provement association and gave vent
to their enthusiasm as one speaker
after another pointed with pride to the
many advantages of the city.
One of the amazing developments as
result CT the banquet from a Ham
mond standpoint, is the fact that Whit
ing has been flirting with Roberts
dale for some time and last night
Dick Schaaf, the premier statesman of
the fourth ward, was the central
figure in the affair.
Advances Made by whiting.
1t was the Whiting business men
who frequently pointed TO the $1,000
600 plant that was being built in Rob
ertsdale and urged that the facilities
| fer reaching the plant be bettered. It
was the Whiting business men who
passed the following resolution, BE
it Resolved by the Whiting Improve
ment association that 200 good houses

vide homes for the employees of the
! Glucose plant and other neighboring
Industries" And it was Richard Schaaf
who proudly pointed to the fact that
the entire eighteen acres of ground
are to be completely covered with
buildings from one to nine stories
high. That the capacity of the plant
was to be 100000 bushels Of corn a

VIII Pull Together.
Aside from the fact that the peo-
pie of whiting expect to be greatly
benefited by the locating of the Glu
cose plant, the matter Of next i'm
portance is the fact that both Roberts
dale and Whiting are going to pul
together to have 18th street CT 1901
street opened clear through 10 Iron
dale. This would open a street jus
south OF the site OF the new Glucos
plant and would open up an importan
thoroughfare to the vicinity of Hege
wisch and Burnham-
The county commissioners viii b
asked to appropriate enough money L

cut that if this was not done the hun

The Old Story.

Knowing these things it is the gem
orally accepted belief that Gleason got
in too deep and finding himself in a.
nancial straits, took all of funds of
the lodge that he could lay his hands
on.
When Mr.. Gleason was brought bacl,
last night to face his accusers and
found that he could not set sufficient
bail, he desperately resisted the Of
ficers who attempted to incarcerate
him and it is said it took four Of
them to subdue him.
His sister in Cleveland was notified
and an effort is being made by the i'm
prisoned man to make a settlement and
avoid a penitentiary sentence. Mr..
Gleason was formerly employed in the
Grasseui Chemical works as chem
ist and was in charge Of department..
He received a good salary until drink
ing and gambling led to his present
disgrace. He is 80 years old and
