East Chicago, Ind, Nov Especial.
The people of this city are jubilant
over the fact that the Republic Iron
and Steel company's mills have reopen
ed and that employment has been given
to all OF the men who were working
there a week ago.
In an interview with one Of the men

that orders were coming in nicely and

there was work enough for a week or
ten days. II as his opinion that the
mills would keep running for an In

Germs are running as they always have

man said this morning Look at the
factories about us. They are all run

The merchants in East Chicago were
elated at the prospects this mornlr &.
The atmosphere Is clearing much more

Three Men Charged With
Torturing Helpless Imbe-
cile to Get Confession.
STRIP AND APPLY HOT POKER
Scar Mans Face and Body, Break
His Collar Bone and Finally
Leave Him Unconscious.

A revotling case of inhuman treat
ment of a half-witted man by three
Gary toughs. has come to light and
affidavits will be issued for their arrest
this afternoon or evening.
The men will be charged with as
sault and battery but the crime of
which they are accused is more like
some diabolical tale of the dark ages
The three men who are to be arrest
ed. found themselves out $50 and fixed
the blame on a supposedly half witted
man who has been hanging around
Gary for some time. Luring him into
one Of the shacks, they tied him and
threatened to kill him if he did not
tell where he had hidden the money.
The helpless man begged for mercy,
but none was shown He was stripped
of every shred of clothing and the tor
ture began. A poker was put into the
stove and heated, the victim being put
in a position where he could see it.
In the meantime the three began to
beat and kick him on his head and
doubling him into all manner of shapes
until they finally broke his collar bone.
In order that no sound might escape.
they gagged him, taking the gag out oc-
casionally in order to get a confession
from him. When the poker had been
sufficiently heated they prodded him
with 1T. holding 1t close to his eyes
and threatening to stick it into his
ears. The unfortunate victim still re-
fusing to confess they rubbed it over
his face, soaring it horribly. Seeing
that their atrocity was OF no avail
they united him and left him in an un-
conscious condition. The names of the
perpetrators of this outrage are with
held by the authorities until the ar
rests shall have been made.

PUTS WOULD BE
ROBBERS TO SLEEP
Gary Saloonkeeper Uses
Billy on Bad Men With
Good Effect.
WERE REAL STAGE VILLAINS
When They Help Themselves to Cash,
Borman Lays Them to
Rest.

Gary, Nov. 1S-Albert Borman, pro-
prietor of a saloon at the corner Of
Eleventh street and Broadway, figured
in holdup in his saloon last evening
which for dramatic effect has even the
most lurid stage robbery outclassed.
Borman. who knows how incredulous
the story sounds is quite reticent about
it but he has made hit both with
the people and his billy" In fact. he
made several hits with his billy"
The front door to Borman's place was
closed Hoosier fashion yesterday, leav-
ing the thirsty ones To look for the
sign that reads family entrance" Two
individuals entered through the side
door. Their hats were pulled deep over
their forehead while beady black eyes
cast searching glances through the
room as they entered. Like the stage
Williams. each had a black mustach
and strutted about with swagger that
evidences the bold bad man.
Borman being the only one behind
the bar was called to the rear of the
building to serve drinks to guests
seated in a closed compartment and
upon returning saw the smaller of the
two men behind the bar in the act
of opening the cash. register while his
pal waited on the other side Of the
bar. Here is where the stage effect
comes in. Borman being prepared for
such an emergency slipped the loaded
billy" from his Sieve and walking un-
concernedly up to the man behind the
bar. cody knocked him down and
quickly faced toward the man on the
other side of the bar expecting to look
into the muzzle of a gun when to his
great relief he saw that individual
looking into the muzzle pointed at him
by one of the tenents in the building
who in the mean time had slipped II
and taken in the situation st a glance
Borman was highman until the fellow
on his side of the country began t,
revive. Another dose of billy pu
him to sleep again and Borman walked
to the other side of the bar and gently
pushing aside the revolver that hii
tcnent held into the face of robber No
2. he handed him a dose of what ha.
since become known as "Borman's sleeI
producer served in billy form" Dur
ing the whole performance there was
no noise excepting that made by the
cracking of the billy and the dropping
of limp forms For the future Bor.
man promises to furnish "shivery'
music for such occasions as the silenc,
is too intense.
After the men had survived suff
ciently to know the difference between
daylight and night they were picked VI
and bodily booted out of the place
Borman admitted later that he SHOULD
have called the police instead of clean
| ing his shoes.

Next Sunday.

Before the largest crowd that has
assembled on Harrison field the Iro-
quois downed the Vobisch Stars OF Chi
cago in a one sided contest yesterday.
The field was so muddy that the home
team could not make much headway,
and had it not been for this the score
would have been much larger In the
second half the time of the half was
cut in two because of the condition of
the field and the fact that the oppo-
sition did not care to keep up the
misery. DR.. Reiss of East Hammond
refereed the game and for the first time
this season, rag chewing" was elimin-
ated and the game went on without
hitch. All of the decisions were salts
factory, most of the time, and the
referee never changed his decision
when there was dispute.
The team ran up a score of 21 points
in the first ten minutes of play and
after that took matters easy and did
not let themselves out to their full eX-
tent. The Stars were outweighed about
fifteen pounds to the man and right
from the start it was seen that they
had no chance The players We're a
funny looking lot when they emerged
from a mass play in a mud hole and
were compelled to take time out for the
purpose of wiping their face off on the

half and all of the players were only
