WITH pop BOTTLE
Hold Up Man Who Accosts
Frank Smogar Gets
His.


Whiting. Ind, July 30.-Whiting was
invaded by real live hold-up man this
morning at about 1880 a. m, when
Frank Srnogar was ordered to hold up
his hands.
Instead of complying with the fell
lows demands Smogar kept his head
and reaching for pop bottle which he
saw lying in the road he let fly at the
robbers head and it is believed by
Smogar that the would be hold-up got
the fun benefit of the blow.
At any rate Smogar was permitted to
go the rest of his way unmolested and
still has the valuables that his assail-
ant hoped to possess.
This is the second time recently that
hold-up men have picked out Whiting
as the scene of their operations and
only short time ago Joe Wellett was
attacked and robbed.
The police realize that the place
where Indiana boulevard crosses the
Chicago Junction tracks is a likely
place for the operations of these fell
lows and hereafter they are going to
keep careful watch of all persons seen
in this vicinity.

Business Men Intend To
Establish New Organi-
zation Here.

A canvass will be started next week
among the Hammond business men
for the purpose or Seeing now they
stand towards lending their aid in
establishing a Commercial club in the
city. Two of Hammond's prosperous
business men have talked the matter
over among their intimate friends and
the majority are willing to give the
project all the support in their power.
Other cities with less population and
wealth than Hammond support elabOr-
ate Commercial clubs and they are con-
sidered a great benefit to a city.
When party from Chicago comes to
Hammond the business men complain
that there is no place where they can
go and enjoy a smoke and at the same
time talk business with a Commercial
club this difficulty would be eliminated.

Bopp could be the white tenderfoot.
They had heard that some Indians

Frank Kaston Disappears

WIFE IS HEART BROKEN
Friends of Man Had Utmost Conf

As a result Of the disappearance OF
Frank Kaston the agent OF the Schlitz
Brewing company. and the fact that
the funds belonging 70 the company.
amounting TO between two and three
thousand dollars, have been drawn gut
OF the bank. Sheriff Carter has been
notified and an effort will be made to
locate the missing man
The alleged embezzlement az the
funds of the brewing company has
caused a ripple OF excitement In East
Chicago for Kaston was always re-
garded as a fine fellow and was sup~
posed to be perfectly honest.
Kaston was supposed TO have settled
with the Brewing company yesterday.
lie was not short and there was plenty
of money in the bank with which 10
pay the bills.
Kaston also had some money which
he had collected during the day and in
stead Of depositing it and then drawing
check for the amount he, drew out
the whole sum supposed to be some
where near $4,000 and was not seen at
terwards.
Company Grows Suspicious.
When the usual settlement was not
made with the company the latter got
into communication with the bank
where Kaston kept his deposits and
were surprised to learn that Kaston
! had drawn out all of the money TO the
credit OF the company and had disap-
peared.
The police Of East Chicago and the
sheriff OF the county were notifiea and
a search for the missing man was be-
gun at once. Up to a late hour today
his whereabouts have not been deter
mined and it is believed that he has
left the country entirely
- Mrs. Kaston was called I'D on Eha
phone this morning and talked With a
LAKE COUNTY TIMES reporter about the
matter.
HE seemed so happy and light heart
ed. said Mrs. Kaston 'he was always
so honest that TO steal Is the last thing
in the world I would expect OF him..
Wife In Deep Grief.
Mrs. Kaston was broken hearted
over the affair and can not understand
why her husband who has always been
earning a good salary should become
common thief.
In fact the friends of Kaston who
have known him for a long time are
at a loss to explain his actions. The
only solution of the problem seems to
be that the idea must have entered his
head. that two or three thousand
dollars could be his If he wanted to
take it and that the temptation over
balanced his good Judgment

Late Advices From Aroma Say Man
Who Suggested That Last is
Jealous or Crazy.

Whee-ew! Story teller, story teller.

Advices from Aroma are to the eff
feet that Rufus Nichols of this city,
who is sojourning at the Aroma stock
farm on the banks of the Kankakee
river and situated in what is known
by the euphoneous name of Mesawhe-
qua reservation, caught a colossal sea
serpent yesterday. The natives about
the locality stand for it, declaring that
they saw it with their own eyes, and
if United States war ships can navi-
gate the Kankakee river, why not sea
serpents?
Rufus, who works for the Hammond
Elevator company when he is not on
vacation, was fishing for pickerel
Fortunately he was not alone when
the monster nibbled, for he would
surely have been dragged into
the raging billows of the Kankakee
and devoured by his catch. AS it was
it took four farm hands to prevent the
critter from dragging Rufus into the
deep, and it was only by exerting them
selves to the utmost that they managed
to land the monster. Rufus suffered
internal injuries by being grabbed
about the waist too hard by the farm
hands and his condition was aggra-
waited by partaking later of the flesh.

are entertained, however. for his re-

City Treasurer Of Toleston
Sues County Auditor For
Return Of Fee.
SAME WAS WITHHELD
c. 4. Johnson Claimed to Have Acted
Arbitrarily in Collection
of Bill.

City Treasurer Papke of Toleston
and Charles A. Johnson, auditor OF
Lake county are now engaged in an
interesting wrangIe over SIPS which
the latter claims the city of ToIeston
should have paid him for special SER
vices rendered as auditor. Papke. it
is said, had agreed to pay Johnson for
the extra expense and trouble incur
red in making out extra assessment
books for the city, when it was in
corporated as such, separate from the
township.
Consequently upon completing the
work the auditor sent in a bill for $125
to the city treasurer and Papke re-
fused to stand for it as he considered
il an over-charge. 1t happened, how
ever that the city had deposited in
the county treasury some time ago the
sum Of S2,152.9S which had been sol-
lected by special levy made by the
town trustees for general municipal
purposes for the year 1907. \ few
weeks later when the city had occa-
soon TO spend this amount of money.
they attempted to draw it from the
county treasury, but soon discovered
that the auditor had them by the neck
as they could not obtain the money
except through his order.
WithhoIds HIS Fee.
As Johnson considered his bill just
as important as those which the city
was about to pay. he withheld the $I25
and turned over the balance. And
now the city through its attorney. J.
I. Meyers, has entered a petition in
the superior court for a writ of man
Il,
the 1925. The petition alleges that
on July Is, Auditor Johnson was asked
for a warrant for the full amoun
and that this was refused blythe rat
ter unlawfuIfy. It further states tina
/ $2.027.9S was turned over to the city
thereby deductfng without right oi
authority the S125.

Mr.. Kunert further stated that tn,

ated at the same time as Toleston haC
been willing to pay Auditor johnson
the sum of S175 for like services anC
/ he could not understand the action o.
