FRANK S. BETz
BUYS OUT RIVAL
Deal Just Put Through Ne
cessitates Branching Out
of Big Concern.

Frank S. Betz of Hammond has by
purchase taken over the immense
stock of surgical instruments, physi-
clans, surgeons and hospital supplies
of its greatest competitors, one of the
largest mail order houses in the world.
In fact Mr.. Betz has at an expendi-
ture of an enormous sum of money in
creased the size of his Hammond plant
one-third and it is now the largest
plant for the manufacture of surgical
instruments and physicians supplies in
the United States.
It is understood that the concern
which Mr.. Betz has recently purchased
is capitalized at 100000 and has an
enormous western business almost
equal to that of the Hammond plant.
This will mean that the local manu-
featuring concern will have to ma
terialIy increase the capacity to turn
out the goods and will be compelled to
hire large number of additional men.
The Betz company in this city is
one of the best concerns Hammond has.
There is a large number of high class
skilled employees now at work there
and the addition Of others will mean
a great deal to the city.

MYSTERY DEEPENS
AROUND MISS BATTY
Robertsdale and South Chi
cago Police Fail to 10
cate Missing Girl.

Miss Mary Batty, the 1S-year- old
girl Of Robertsdale, who disappeared
from her home at % Reese avenue last
Saturday had not been found UP to
early this afternoon and her parents
are at loss to give any explanation
as to her whereabouts.
The Robertsdale police were called
up over the phone this morning but
the officer in charge said he knew moth
ing new on the case and could not
throw any light on the mystery sur
rounding the girls disappearance.
Following are the circumstances in
the case: Last Saturday Miss Batty
left her home going to South Chicago
where she told her parents she was
going to do some shopping and would
return in the evening. Evening came
but not Miss Batty and her parents
in alarm notified the South Chicago
police who took up the matter. Thus
far, however, they have been unable
to establish any clew that may lead
to the girls recovery.
A search will be instituted through
the dives in South Chicago and if the
unfortunate girl is detained there
against her will. as 1t is feared may
be the case, she will be taken out. In
the meantime her parents are dis
tracted.
Those who knew the girl say that
she is very quiet and was seldom seen
out in company with young men.
1t was first reported that the girls
name was Reese but later it was
learned that ii is Batty. Miss Batty
has resided with her parents at %
Reese avenue.

Flee Wildly for Safety.

broke out this morning shortly after
O'Clock in the Grand Crossing Tack
factory at Grand Crossing nearly to-
tally destroying the entire plant and
doing damage to the extent of over

ed wires.

HANSEN GETS
LIFE SENTENCE
After Being Out 27 Hours,
Eleven Stubborn Ones
Accept Inevitable.
Prisoner Shows No Emotion As the
Verdict Which Saves His
Life Is Read.

Charles Hansen, on trial in Judge
Kerstens court for the murder of Pa
trolman Luke A. Fitzpatrick, was
found guilty yesterday and sentenced
to the penitentiary for life. The jury
was out twenty seven and a half hours
and twice asked for additional instruc-
tions from the court All night after
the case went to the jury Tuesday
there was a hard fight for many weary
hours, with nine for death and three
for acquittal. the hope of agreement
seemed lost and a mistrial certain. At
2:40 yesterday afternoon it was an
nounced that the jury had reached a
verdict. They filed in soon after and
gave the verdict of guilty and impos-
ing life sentence.
Hansen sat unmoved while the YER
dict was being read and the prison
doomed up before him for the fifth time
in his career. He had previously serv-
ed thirteen years az various peniten-
tiaries throughout the country. The
defense. represented by Attorneys Re-
milf and Streyekmans, entered a mo-
ton for new trial Immediately after
the rendering of the verdict, and the
hearing on this motion will be given
next Tuesday.
Case Goes to Supreme Court.
The defense has expressed the deter
mination to take the case to the SUI
preme court and contest the retention
of the prisoner without trial by the
police for a period exceeding four
months.
From the time the jury left the court
room it was a bitter struggle. Final
ly, after hours of wrangling, the jur-
ors stood II to 1 for the death pen
atty. At that time ]. P. DuVinage of
Evanston was the man who held out
against that course of action. All
possibility of verdict seemed lost
when the agreement was ultimately
reached.
Jurors Show Struggle.
The jurors showed signs of their
trying experience when they filed into
the court room and expressed relief
when their duty was finished. The de-
alterations had proved a surprise to
everyone connected with the case, as
a speedy verdict was expected.
At II O'Clock in the morning, when
the jury for the second time received
instructions from the court and coun-
sci, there was confidence that a mis-
trial would result. 1t was not till af-
ter $50 in the afternoon that the court
or counsel felt sure that there was
some other result than disagreement.
About o'clock the final result was
given. Hansen did not utter a word
when the sentence was pronounced.
He was pale and evidently feared the
moose, but there was no satisfaction eX
pressed by his face over the reprieve
from the gallows which the life SEN
tence conveyed to him.
