Horses Attached to Ice

Parade Music. Bolts
MASONS ARE IN PERIL
Procession Halts While Animals Are
Extricated From Wreckage of
w. J. McAleer's Runabout.

The lives of a number of the members
of the local lodge of Masons. as they
were returning from the dedication
yesterday afternoon, were placed in
danger by two large bay horses, who
tore down Holman street, near the
Hammond building and wrecked a
light runabout. But for the timely
action of bystanders a number of
horses which were standing unhitched
and unattended near the sidewalks, and
which had become frantic by the noise
would have dashed into the ranks of
the paraders.
The pair of bays, attached to a wa
gon owned by the Hammond Ice COM
pany, were standing in front of the
Hammond building when the parade ap-
preached. The drivers were delivering
ice in the building, and at the sound
of the music, the horses became fright
ened and made a bolt down the street.
They struck the wheels of a two seated
carriage standing in front of the build
ing, the occupants of which were
dressing the tables in the banquet hall.
They tore the ice wagon loose from
this vehicle but in another moment
they locked wheels with a small rub
Der tired runabout owned by w. J. Nc
Aleer, and as McAleer's horse attempt
ed to free itself, the off horse of the
ice wagon pair got his feet tangled up
in the box Of the buggy and kicked
the rear wheels to kindling wood be-
fore the bystanders interfered. Sew
/ eral horses standing nearby took fright
and would have dashed madly into the
ranks of the marchers but for the
+ presence of mind of several men who
were standing about The parade was
compelled to halt until the horses
could be unhitched and got upon their
/. feet, and then the phalanxes marched
around the wreckage. There was but
little left Of Mr.. McAleer's runabout
when the smoke lifted.

which few earlier expositions have of
fered. There is also a canoe trial,
where small-boating may be enjoyed
through shady reaches several miles in
length.
The fact that preparations for this
exposition have been proceeding for
three or four years gives the grounds a
general air of age and established con-
dition which is novel to enterprises of
this kind. Trees and shrubs have had
time to grow. (In fact there is one
oak on the grounds said to be more
than a thousand years old; but that
was there even before the colonists
came.) Some of the buildings, notably
the houses in the village of Arts and
Crafts, have been standing over year
and have acquired a substantial and
weather beaten appearance. But pleas

West Hammond divers"
Live or Die by This
Evenings Action.
NEW BOARD GOES IN.
Attorney Markham Promises To Be
On Hand to Advocate His
Pet Reform"

The West Hammond village board
who held office during 1906 and up to
the meeting Tuesday night Will meet
again tonight for the last time. All
the new members of the village board
will be formally installed this even
ing.
No little interest is being manifested
by the respectable element as to wheth-
er or not the new board will grant the
divekeepers new licenses for 1907.
Many of them say that the new board
are in favor of ousting them, although
no statement can be secured from those
of the new board.
Today when a LAKE COUNTY TIMES re-
porter asked one of the members what
they intended doing tonight in regard
to the licenses, he said: Il have moth
ing to say about the matter and 1 do
not think you can find out until the
meeting is over this evening"
Before the election in West Ham
mond Jacob Czazewicz the democratic
nominee for president, refused to make
known his attitude towards the re-
moval of the dives, and still maintains
an air of indifference, leaving the citi-
Zens guessing as to what will be done
this evening.
The divekeepers' licenses expire or
May 2, which is today, but they are
allowed fifteen days grace.
1t is understood that the various
divekeepers are making canvass to-
day to see how they stand with the
members.
Attorney s. X Markham will be out
from Chicago this evening to attend
the meeting and It is expected that he
will put up strong argument agains4

tion is brought up.

their respective sinking funds in ex-
cess of the Indebtedness. hence have
a surplus. The bonds outstanding
against Decatur county amounted to
IS, 900, but the amount in the sinking
fund was sS.054.9S. making surplus
of $54.9S. The Indebtedness of Orange
county. including some small county
warrants. amounted to S15.511.S0, but
the sinking fund had 1.6S0.49, hence
there was surplus of s5.5S6.21.
The gross debt of all the counties in
the state was s9,2S4,9SS.Ss in 1906, as
compared with a total gross debt OF
$S,437, 6SO49 in 1905 The sinking

CURFEW LAW now
ON At WHITING
Chief of Police Instructed to
Keep Children Under 16
Years of Age Off Streets

From tonight on whiting boys and
girls who are under Is years old. must
keep off the, streets after 3 o'clock or
they will be arrested and taken to the
police station
The chief of police was notified to
this effect this morning by Mayor Smith
and the new ruling will go into effect
tonight
Just how the children will be noti-
fed when it is o'clock has not been
decided, but it is probable that the
curfew bell will be employed as the
most suitable means. If this is not
used a screaming whistle will be en-
ployed.
Now that Whiting has started the
old curfew law 1t is expected that other
cities in the Calumet region will follow
suit.
For some time the streets Of Whit
ing have swarmed from until II
O'Clock with young girls whose ages
range from 10 to 16. and this was kept
UP to such an extent that the city
council thought the best plan was to
adopt strict methods to keep them of
the streets late in the evening.
The new rule, of course, not only eff
fects the girls, but also boys under
sixteen.

WILL ALDERMEN
CHANGE FRONT7
East End ''Drys" Believe
Many of Them Now See
the Light.

Lewis IT. Snyder who is championing
the cause of the east end drys had 4
talk with the proprietor of Green's buff
fet today regarding the situation, and
as a result of the interview it appears
that the Saloon keepers association of
which he is president will not oppose
the efforts of Mr.. Snyder and his CO.
workers to establish a dry district
within the confines ORIGINALLY pro-
posed, with the exception Of the 'front.'
age on Calumet avenue between state
street and the Nickel Plate tracks
The prohfs" are still active, pernf-
ciously so the saloon keepers think,
and apparently they have decided that
it would be better to let them have
the dry district they are so desirous of
having rather than risk their success
in securing a remonstrance IN the
whole third ward.
BIr. Snyder said today, after his talk
with Mr.. Green, he thought 1t best to
give the Saloon keepers association a
chance to consider the matter before
they began their canvass for names on
the remonstrance. He said. however.
/ that they did not think ii wise TO walt
too long for it would not be wise to
string the matter out over a long
period of time.
! The Saloon keepers association will
have a meeting the latter part of this
/ week or on Monday of next week and It
is expected that they will take a stand
one way or another in time for their
recommendations to be communicated to
the members Of the city council who
will then have the opportunity to re-
consider the petition of the east end
"drys"
1t is said that the members of the
city council who at first ignored the
activity of Mr.. Snyder and his friends
are now fully alive to the fact that
those who are agitating the dry dis
trict have lot of hackers and that
possibly after all they may be able to
secure enough votes TO dry up the third
ward.
This makes it appear that it is possi-
BILE that there may be an entire
change OF front before the next meet
ing of the council and that there will
be a dry district on the east side after

Some of the cheaper providers are al

spirit of caution among the conces-
sioners almost akin to canniness. II
was not until some eight weeks ago
that congress made an extra appropria-
tion for the benefit Of the exposition
Up to that time there may have been
some question in the minds of those
with only an eye to the main chance as
to whether or not the exposition would
make good" AS soon as congress
acted. however, the coneessioners con-
ceded, and they have been building
folds for the lambs ever since.

Max Loubert Tries Desper.
ate Measures to Commit
Suicide But is Foiled.

Suffering from an attack of brain
storm" Max Loubert. a well known
resident OF Colehour. attempted to
throw himself in front of q train on
the Chicago Junction railroad. on the
Lake front, early last evening, and
when frustrated by the train crew ran
to the water and waded in up to his
chin, and was only caught after an
hours hard work.
Loubert's attempt at suicide was a
sensational one. and but for the timely
work of the train hands, would have
succeeded. He appeared on the tracks
shortly after O'Clock and as a yard
engine was pulling along he ran and as
It approached, threw himself in front
of it across the rails. The engineer
saw the man and put on his brakes,
but could not bring the engine to a
complete stop. On the platform on the
forward part of the engine, several OF
the crew were standing and they saw
the danger to the man in time to avert
it. Leaning forward they grasped
Loubert's clothing and threw him from
the path of the engine and in this
manner his life was saved. In their
efforts to save him they gave him such
toss that he rolled over and over
| down the steep enbankment, but was
uninjured. He picked himself up and
when he saw the approach of the train
crew who ran from the engine to see

started on mad run for the water

Surrounded and Caught I'm Lake.
Thinking that Loubert was going to
drown himself in the lake they hasten
ed after him and as he hesitated on the
/ banks, they ran towards him. With
a cry he started TO wade out into the
water and when he reached a depth OF
several feet he stopped and calmly
/ faced the men. They wheedled, cajolet
and threatened the man but he paid nc
attention to them. and while one Of the
number watched him, the others rar
