the matter.
The fact is not generally appreciated
that in the person of Harry Newcomer,
formerly a resident of Hammond and
now living on a farm on the outskirts
of Lowell. Lake county. has one of the
boldest secret service men and .bravest
scouts that has ever been employed by
the government before or since the civil
war; a man whose exploits would make
the most exciting story imaginable IL
they could be told in all the minute
detail that he is capable of telling
them
Just at this time when the country
is mentally reviewing the period of
strife at the time of the civil war the
stories that Mr. Newcomer tells are of

LITTLE CARL HAS
A LONG RIDE
Nurse Girl Runs by Her Sta
tion and Parents of Child
Have Anxious Time.

Carl Trimble, the four-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Trimble, 1906
Buffalo avenue, Hegewisch. was the
cause of much excitement and worry on
the part of his parents again last
night.
Carl is the little lad who disappear
ed two weeks ago and went to church
when his parents feared he had gone
to Burnham. However, it was learned
later that he was accompanied by An
ME Kocs, a Hungarian girl who is
employed as a domestic in his home.
Mrs Trimble visited some relatives
in Whiting yesterday and before leav-
ing granted the girl the privilege of
bringing Carl to Hammond in the af
ternoon on the condition that she be
back by $50. Miss Kocs agreed to this
and in the afternoon Carl triumphant
ly started off with her to meet the
afternoon Nickel Plate.
When they did not appear at $50 a
friends of Mrs. Trimble. who was at
the house began to wonder what was
the matter, but decided that they would
arrive on the Lake Shore train due
there at Gal.
When Mrs Trimble got home about
s o'clock and Carl was not yet home
search was begun. No one knew
where Miss Kocs's home was in Ham
mond. At 10 o'clock it was more than
/ either parent could stand and they
walked to Hammond and searched the
part of town where they supposed the
girls home could possibly be, getting
back home at 11:45.
/ When it was found that they had
not come home yet Mr. Trimble start
ed back 10 Hammond where he receiv
ed the aid of the police in finding the
/ Hungarian settlement When Miss
Kocs' father was found he told of hav-
ing put her and Carl safely on the
train and professed much anxiety
about their safety.
At 12:45 the wanderers walked into
the house. Carl saying: Mamma, In
so tired: I had such long ride"
Not until Mr.. Trimble returned coult
the mystery be made plain. however
when it proved that Miss Kocs and tn.
child had been carried through Hege
wisch and into the city through not get
ting of at Burnham, and then return
ing on the midnight Lake Shore.
Today Carl keeps repeating, I ha,
such a long ride, mamma"

Striking Teamsters and En-
ployes Are Still
at Odds.
BOTH SIDES ARE FIRM
Meeting Saturday Did Not Bring Re-
suits Expeeted-Struggle VIII
Go on Indefinitely.

The end of the trouble between the
contractors and dray owners and the
striking teamsters does not seem 10 be
in sight as yet and both sides are for
tifying themselves for the fray. A
meeting of the strikers and the employ
ers was held last Saturday night in
Roth's hall and the troublesome clauses
between the two parties were taken up
and discussed. The men argued on the
possibilities of the clause at issue. con-
cerning the weeks notice in case of
discharge, but could not reach an ami
cable settlement. After the meeting
was over the standing between the
strikers and the employers remained
where it was at the beginning. De-
sertions are now being reported on
both sides Up TO the present time all
the employers except the dray owners
and the contractors have signed the
new agreement, and the latter are
holding out with might and main. They
claim to be able to fiji the places left
vacant by the strikers with non union
men and that they can send every team
from the barn. One of the team own
ers took nine teams to Gary this morn
ing where he has secured work for
them for some time, probably for a
period extending beyond the present
| outlook of trouble.
Union Men Claim Reserve.
The fight will not resolve itself into
a seige. The union men are determin-
ed not to give in single point and
their success with the others firms who
have signed the agreement has made
them sanguine of success. They claim
to have enough means on hand to con
j tinue their fight and to hold out in
definitely. They claim that there ar
only thirty men out of employment a
the present time and they will be tax
en- care of until the strike is over. NJ
trouble between the union and non
union men has been reported as yet.

under the terms OF a measure pre-

was drawn BY w. I. Acorn, himself
deeply interested in the salvage Of
these valuable lands through canal
sytems.

The question would seem to be settled now in favor of Lady Loo, owned by ldr Musac, the pretty bay mare winning by decisive lead in a run of 200 yards. The purse was $1OO.
 At o'clock another lively event took place in which there were four entries.

 Lady Loo. owned by Mu.ac and ridden by Mattingly This run was $50 yards and wac & most exciting contest. The black and sorrel were fighting for the lead and rawhide whips were vigorously piled. Black Tom won by head, taking the purse of $50.
 The owner of the sorrel was not satisfied and challenged the winner for another go and then won out; so that the final honors went .o the plucky little sorrel owned by Gatliff. Mattingly again showed the effects of early training, having winning mounts in two of the three heats The excitement is sill running high and March is to see some nor e dust flying
