WILLIAM SCHEUMSER
BUYS STOLEN HORSE.
Pays s125 for Gallant Steed Only to
Learn Seller Was Thief.

Next time William Seheumser buys
a horse he will be sure that 1t be-
longs to the party from which he buys
It.
On Monday morning William Scheum-
ser left his brothers store on Sibley
street and started out in search of a
horse, he stopped at Martin Linz's
place on Calumet avenue and tried to
make a deal with Mr.. Linz for a black
horse owned by the liveryman. Mr..
Linz told him the horse was not for
sale but that a man by the name of
Clinton, who was boarding with him
wanted to sell a horse. William went
out and looked at the horse and told
them he would return next day and ex-
anime the animal again and If 1t suited
him he would take it,
The next day Mr.. Scheumser bought
the horse paying $125. Everything
went nicely until Wednesday evening
when Chief Higgins of the East Chi
cago force came over to Hammond and
told Mr. Scheumser that the horse he
had bought was stolen from a livery
man at Kouts, Ind, and that he would
be compelled to take it back, which
he did
Now the police are looking for
Clinton, but so far they have been un-
able TO locate him. His father owns
hardware store in East Chicago, but
he claims he does not know where his
son is.

As escaping gas was about to claim
the lives of Mr.. and Mrs. Goldstein of

enough TO arouse herself and open the

One of the children who had used the

left one of the jets open a short time
before retiring. Being tired after hav-
ing spent strenuous holiday, the
family slept soundly and were not
aware of the danger in which they
We're placed. Mrs. Goldstein was the
only one who detected the oder, and
after forcing herself to the window in
dazed condition revived herself
enough to investigate the trouble and
prevent further leakagel from the
stove.
AS a result of this narrow escape
each member of the family felt weak
and dizzy this morning and scarcely
able to be about

treat which viii be given 10 the peo-

pare the huge chorus OF sixty or sew
enty-five voices who will render a
splendid program at the Towle opera
house.
Invitations We're issued last week to
a number of young ladies to assist the
male chorus in giving this entertain
ment, and at the first meeting, which
was held last night it was shown that
they intend to give them enthusi-
astic support. Being a holiday yester-
day the attendance was not as large
as it undoubtedly will be in future
meetings. but considering the draw
back, it was all that could be de-
sired
1t is the intention of the promoters
of the concert to secure some noted
outside talent, either readers, singers
or musicians who will top the pro-
gram off and make it still more worthy
Of the support of the music loving peo-
pie Of this city.

Chorus urge all the young ladies who
