and Standard Steel in Service. VIII
Be followed by Others; Company

a new one at that in charge Of Con-
ductor J. Austgen and Motorman Eddie
Edeidner left the car barns and made

in carrying the Increasing traffic on
this part OF the line.
There viii be three other large cars

NEGRO HAS RAZOR;
WHITE MAN DYING
Another Gary Fight Ends
Disastrously- Cuts 12-
Inch Cash.

David Butler, age is, was sent TO
the South Chicago hospital this morn
ing suffering from wounds received
while in a fight at Gary, where he re-
.ceiveda cut in sRis hip over twelve
inches long and also slash over the
right eye.
Butler who was found lying on the
street In a semi-unconscious condition
with blood oozing from the cut in his
hip, was weak from loss of blood and
was on the verge of dying.
At Gary where he was previously
employed as a teamster for the Nc
Augley Construction company of South
Chicago, he became involved in an ar
gument with a negro and was slashed
twice over the eye and again on the
hip with a razor. inf1icting the wound
that will undoubtedly cause his death,
as the hospital authorities have little
hopes for his recovery.
Butler is receiving the best atten-
tion. but this morning he was unable
to talk, being so weak from loss of
blood DR. Webb Of Gary. who dressed
young Buffers injuries. took thirty
stitches in the hip, so it can readily be
seen the wound is quite serious.

FAREWELL FESTIVITIES
GREAT SUCCESS
Celebration in Honor of
Judge Tuthill Proves
Highly Enjoyable,

The farewell banquet and theatre
party given in honor of Judge Tuthi1l,
was a great success.
Part of the thirty-two lawyers who
attended went TO Chicago in the af-
ternoon and attended the baseball
game. They met the rest Of the party
at the Tip Top inn on the ninth floor
of the Pullman building.
The spirit Of the banqueters ran high
and according 10 the testimony of nearly
all of those present it was not due to
the fact that any considerable quantity
of liquid spirits ran low.
There was little time for toasts or
speech making as the party desired
TO get over to the u>eatre in time for
the performance of "1Le Man Of the
Hour" Judge Tuthill. however, was
called upon for a speech and in a few
words expressed his appreciation of the
honor his guests had shown him.
The Man Of the Hour could not
have been more appropriate If it had
been written for the occasion. It is
political story involving a judge and
the whole party was delighted with the
production.
After the show the party returned to
their homes in Hammond and unani-
mously voted the affair a great success

A man claiming to be a conductor in

roads nearly caused a panic in several
saloons about Hammond in the vicinity
Of State street yesterday afternoon
when he threatened 10 shoot everybody

ter a lot of loud talk, demanded that
the barkeep dish out two drinks to
himself and his friend immediately un-
der penalty of a terrible death. The
bartender paid no attention to the pair
but kept on serving a number of Gus
toners, when the man reached into his
hip pocket and said he was going to
shoot up the place. The patrons at the
bar Immediately found they had busi-
ness in another section Of the city and
all tried to get out OF the door at the
same time. The men were finally pre-
vailed upon to go out without revolver
display and they started for another
saloon. Here they tried the same tao

FRIDAY, DAY
Of BLOOD
Series Of Accidents Occur,
One of Which Proves
Fatal to Victim.
IS STRUCK BY CRANE
Laborer Swept By Huge Arm Under
Wheels of Travelling Gear at
Standard Steel.

series of bad accidents occurred
in and around Hammond yesterday, one
of them resulting in a death, George
Toyn. Jim Vargo and John Babarozki.
being the victims most badly hurt
Babarozki died on his way to St Mar
garet's hospital being terribly mangled
while at his work at the Standard
Steel Car shops.
Babarozkt who was known to be a
good workman and a man always to
be relied upon. was assisting a crane
man in the main steel building. The
pair were engaged at the tine N caFry-
ing some oil tanks from one end of the
shop to the other. The victim was rid
ing on the crane assisting the operator
when a sudden swing of the ponderous
arm threw him of and he fell beneath
the wheels of the travelling gear. The
swinging Of the crane threw him. to the
center Of the track stunning him so
that he could not escape the wheels of
the coming crane.
No Witness.
No one witnessed the accident but
the victim was seen a few minutes af-
ter by r. A. Fleming the operator of
the second crane. Fleming dropped
his load Immediately and proceeded to
push off the mans body with bis own
The man was cut so badly, however.
that he died a few minutes later The
accident occurred at 1880 o'clock last
night.
The mans case is a most pitiful one
considering the fact that he had ar
rived in this country but few months
ago from Russian Poland. filled with
ambitions, so his friends say. He landed
in this country in March, forced out
Of his native country by strike at the
factory in which he was employed and
be came to this country to make good.
He leaves a wife in the old country
who is laboring in a factory to sup
port five children until her husband
could send for her. It is doubtful if
she can ever be notified and must con-
tinue the struggle without ever know
ing the fate of her husband.
Other Sufferers.
Jim Vargo. an Italian employed
in the FitzHugh-Luther Locomotive
works was another unfortunate for
eigner who received a bad injury yes
terday while at work. The man was
grinding a buggy bar on an emery
wheel when an end of the bar caught
in the wheel, forcing the other end
ap with great force and badly injuring
his face. His ear was almost cut in
two and the cheek was badly lacerated.
Vargo was taken to the hospital where
it was found that his wounds were all
superficial and he viii soon recover.
George Toyn is an employe of the
/ Chicago. Indiana & Southern and was
/ injured while at his work at Indiana
/ Harbor. His injuries will not prove
fatal although he will be confined to
I the hospital for several weeks. Toyn
was stalking out a car when a switch
engine struck him and threw him sew
eral yards to one side of the track. The
force of the impact dislocated his hip.

Still Search.

The two ruffians who held up and
robbed Mrs. George Prendski and Mrs
Stande Supsinski made their getaway
ate crime at the state line. although
they were closely pursued by the po-
lice of this city and officers from South
Chicago. Immediately after the two
women ran to the saloon of Louis Kohl
witt and reported the affair, the police
were notified by the saloonkeeper, and
Captain Bunde and Officer Louis Els
Rimbach. The officers found that the
two men headed north along the rail-
road tracks and at once started in
pursuit. The police of South Chicago
were informed Of the affair and a squad
Of officers started towards Hammond,
but the two men escaped the Gordon
drawn by the officers. Captain Bunde
picked up one hobo who answered to
the description furnished by the women
and he was sent back to the station
while the officers kept up the pursuit.
The whole length of track and sur
rounding country was searched up to
evening for the culprits, but they were
not found. 1t is thought that they took
to the woods after following the rail-
cave or hut along the prairie between
Hammond and Chicago. 1t would be
very easy for the men to secret them
selves in the camps and huts along the
Calumet river
