South Chicago. July S1,-Another day
has passed but has brought forth no
settlement of the ore mems strike in
which hundreds of South Chicagoans
are interested. From day to day re-
ports came to the effect that "tomor-
row" would see the settlement and it is
doubtful now whether it will come
within the next twenty-four hours.
The oremen are ready 10 so to work
and without asking for an increase
provided the companies viii recognize
the unions.
The oremen have suggested arbitra-
tion and the outcome of the suggestion
is awaited; should they grant it, the
docks viii resume their wonted activ-
ity. The proposition for arbitration
was made to the officials of Duluth.

HAIL EXTRA
COPS WITH JOY
South Chicago Learns Police
Detail Will be Increased
by 20 Men.
WILL Be PERMANENT
Additional Officers Not Merely Pro
vided to Meet Emergency as
at First Thought.
Especial to Lake County TimcS.)

South Chicago. July Silt is learned
today that there VIII be twenty extra
men added to the police detail stationed
at South Chicago, instead of ten as
stated yesterday, which viii swell the
total number of officers there to
eighty three.
Nine of the newly assigned patrol
men reported for duty last night and
the remaining eleven viii answer TO
roll call this evening Those who were
instructed as to their new duties last
night are:
Nicholas Sullivan. Dominiclx Nesbiee,
Maurice Wall. Frank Guilt, John
Tracy. James Mulaney, John E. White,
Alfred Johnston and Fred RuehI.
The increase to the force is hailed
with delight by the business men and
residents Of the entire community. for
South Chicago has always considered
itself sighted as to the matter of po-
pice. The number of men allotted to
duty there has always been regarded
as far too small and now that it has
been enlarged third, or lacking
one man of that proportion, there is
every reason to believe that the detail
will be able to give adequate service
in every particular.
VIII BE Fixture.
At first it was believed that the eX-
ira men would be merely a temporary
addition to the force to help out or
. the canvass that is being conducted t.
ascertain what property owners ar,
violating the health ordinances with re
gard to sewer connection. This vii
entail a lot of work which will be div
ided among the entire force of patrol
men. 1t was learned this morning
! however that the men are not to b
taken of after THIS work Is conipTete5
but will be retained as a permanen
part of the detail.
There is talk as there always is whei
any changes are made in a precinct 0
| a shake up. 1t was said that Captai
| Dorman would be transferred to tn
station at Hyde Park. This. however
could not be confirmed, the captai
himself declaring that he had been in
formed of no contemplated change bu
adding that he of course was not fam
iliar with Chief Shippys plans.
1t is said that Chief Shippy has
warm spot in his heart for South Chi
cago, having been stationed there him
self in the past.
There has been no unusual "wave D
crime or other upheavaf to warrar
the change. but it is understood tha
Chief Shippy merely recognized tn
needs of the territory and took tn
necessary steps to supply them.

TRAGEDY BECOMES A MYSTERY

The tragedy which resulted from
the game of 'Injun" among the Doty
street youngsters. as told in last nights
TIMES. has developed into a mystery.
BY his own confession, young Robert
Popp. aged four, was the victim of the
'Iniuns"-Wfllie Carr, aged five, and
Walter Shine, aged six, who he says.
held him and burned his finger with
a match.
But now come the parents of the
two youngsters and claim an aiibi for
them. Young Shine it is claimed spent
the morning with the driver of an egg
wagon. while young Carr was busy
elsewhere with other playmates. So
the tragedy now resolves itself into a
mystery-who were the .Injuns' who

Little Martha Harkey May
Die AS Result Of
Accident.
NOW At ST. MARGARET'S
Mother Crazed at Sight Tears, Hair
Out by the Roots-Continues
Hysterical.

Little Martha Harkey, aged Z years,
was seriously injured this afternoon
near her home in Gostlin street and is
now confined at ST. Margaret's hospital
in a preearious condition.
The little girl. in company with sew
eral other children. were watching the
ice men unload ice from one of the
Hammond Pure Ice company's wagon
when one of the large cakes fell strik-
ing the little girl on the shoulder,
knocking her down, also striking her
just above the ankle. Several people
saw the accident and among the first
to reach the injured girl was her
mother
Mother Crazed by Grief.
The child was unconscious and the
mother. Mrs. James Harkey, believ-
ing her daughter was dead. went tenn
porarily insane. She tore at her hair
with her hands and literally pulled
out handfuls of it, according to the
story of those who were witnesses to
her frenzy. She also tore her cloth
ing at the same time shrieking in an
agony of grief.
Neighbors picked up the injured
child and took her to her home in Cost
lin street TO await the arrival of the
ambulance. while others looked after
Mrs. Harkey.
By the time the ambulance arrived
Martha had regained consciousness
and Mrs. Harkey had been quieted
The child was carefully lifted into the
ambulance and was taken to St. Mar
garet's hospital where she is being
cared for.
Immediately after the surgeons ex-
animation, the sister in charge said
/ her case was very serious.
Driver Not TO Blame.
/ The blame of the accident is in nc
way attached to the driver of the
wagon as he had repeatedly warned
/ the children to keep away from the
wagon and had gone so far as tc
post sign on one side saying Dan
gen; keep away"
1t is believed that the little girl suf
fered internal injuries as we'll as ex
ternal.
Mrs Harkey is still in a hysterica
condition over the accident.

Report Unfounded

Tuedsay evening a report cir
culated about town that a moth
es had attempted to drown her
seven year old daughter in a
rain barrel in the yard of the
residence. The facts of the case
as near as can be ascertained, are
as follows:
A mother living in the vicin-
ity of the Farmers mill, to
punish and scare her child who
had been misbehaving, is said to
have taken the culprit out in the
back yard and dipped the child's
head in a rain barrel full of
water. Certainly this was not
exactly the proper mode for pun
ishment, and is not to be COM
mended, but it is such that this
was the foundation for all sorts
of strange rumors that have
been circulating about the city
during the past few days.

A DECIDED SUCCESS.
Was the Ice Cream Social Given by
Ladies of Bethany Chapel

An enjoyable ice cream social
was given on the lawn Of Will
liam McKay's farm, six miles
northwest Of the city last Friday
evening. Despite the fact that
the evening was really COO cool
to enjoy the frozen dainty, a
goodly crowd was present, many
being from the city. A neat sum
was realized by the ladies of
Bethany chapel, for which ben
eft the social was given. Ia
bles were spread about the lawn,
and a delectable spread consist
ing of sandwiches, coffee, ice
cream and an assortment of
cake was served. The Eagle band
of the city was present, going
out in two large tally-hoes. A
large table was especially re-
served for them, over which was

FISH FOR THE LAKE
(he Waters of Devils Lake to be
Stocked

That the waters of Devils
Lake will be stocked with fish
in the early future is a strong
probability. 1t is understood
that the lake has been thorough
ly sounded and that the water
in the vicinity of Chautauqua
has no where been found to ex-
coed a depth Of twenty feet. It
was also found that the he'd of
the lake was covered with vege-'
tation and alive with animal
life, which would furnish plenty
of material on which the fish
might feed. A prominent scient-
list has been down at the lake
making Investigations, and
states that he sees no reason
why fish should not thrive there.
The main trouble just now
seems to be the lack of spawning
grounds. AS the waters have
receeded materially in the past
few years, the old spawning
grounds are now high and dry.
There are few marshy places
where the fish can go and the
beach is sandy throughout. 1t
is not known whether an arti-
fetal spawning ground can be
supplied or not.
1t is understood that the lakes
of Turtle Mountain will be
seined and a goodly supply of
fish brought from that place and
dumped into Devils lake.
No reason why they should
not exist and thrive in the lake
waters is known. A few years
ago the waters were alive with
fish, but for some unaccountable
reason they suddenly disappear

Great Northern Stock Yards Here.

AS a result of a law which
recently went into effect making
it compulsory for, railroads to
feed stock which have been "a
hours in transit, work will be
begun within a week on the
erection of a stock yards for that
purpose by the Great Northern
railroad. The location of the
proposed yards will be west Of
the round house. They will be
built large enough to accohmo-
date four stock trains at one
time, and will furnish employ
ment to about twenty-five men,
including the switch crew, COW
punchers, feeders, cleaners, etc.
The stock yards are expected
to be completed and ready for
occupancy by fall, when the
heavy stock traffic will COM
mence.
Devils Lake and vicinity will
be greatly benefited thereby, as
there will be a big demand for
feed and fodder of all kinds, and
also for hay and straw.

COME NEAR 7. DEATH
Four Children Of John LANCE Have
Narrow Escape From Seeious Injury

Another miraculous escape
from serious if not fatal injury
was that of the four small chill
dren of John LANCE, a farmer
residing in Morris township. It
seems that last Saturday morn
ing the father hitched up two
teams of horses, and, with his
four children, started towards
town. Mr.. LANCE drove one
team by himself and, regarding
the other horses as safe he turn
ed over thelines of this vehicle
to his eldest son, Raymond.
While some distance from the
city the horses hitched to the We
hicle wherein the children were
riding, left the road, and the rig
turned over, throwing two of the
children out. This frightened
the animals and they ran away.
Raymond and his younger broth
er John were thrown out, Ray
mond being dragged some little
distance. He sustained deep
cash in his right leg, and was
otherwise injured. John was
badly bruised, but no serious in
|juries were sustained.
j The father, seeing the disas-
ter from afar, hurried to the
scene, and picked the children up
It was found necessary to bring
Raymond to the Mercy hospital
where his wounds were attend
ed to.

ARE AFTER TIL EN-
For Fight Against the Mail Order
Houses

Houses
The Chicago Tribune gives
some of the details of the war
that has been declared on the
great catalogue houses by the 500,
600 retail merchants of the west.
In one of the most striking econ
omic movements this country
ever has known, the small deal
ers are fighting, as they say, for
their lives.
The mammoth institutions,
employing thousands of workers,
doing tn eir business entirely
through the medium of their
bulky catalogues, spending no
money in the communities
whence they derive annually
millions of dollars of patronage
are forcing increaing numbers
of home merchants to the wall
and, so there opponents claim,
are making commercial grave
yards Of once prosperous town. -
In this life or death struggle,
jobbers and manufactures also
are involved with the retail mer-
chants. %''
An organized attack on tn e
catalog institutions is to be made
by the Home Trade League of
America, which has existed for
seveal months in Chicago, large
lily as a publicity bureau, bit
which is shortly to incorporate
and institute a more systematic
land aggressive campaign against
r. b e catalog houses through ia
board of twenty-one managers,
with a vice-president and an ad-
Iyisory committee Of ten members
from each state. ,,' III.
The backbone of the league lis
formed of commercial associa-
tons, national in character in

gan, Kansas, and Minnesota.
