GARY ISSUES ITS
Def TO HAMMOND
Steel City Football Team
Would Like to Play the
Local Boys.
FOR ANY OLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Squad Composed Of Ex-College Men
Who Have Seen Good Service
in Athletic Field.
PREPARED

Gary, Ind, Oct. 14-(SpeciaL Gary
has issued a defy to Hammond. 1t has
come in the nature of a challenge by
the Gary football team to play Ham
mond under any old conditions for
any old championship that such a game
might involve.
Call Harris is the manager of
the team. and R. Shackelton, the fam
Gus Purdue player is its captain. The
Gary squad is composed of old college
players who have graduated from their
respective schools and they are on
edge for game.
Nearly all OF the members OF the
team have been bright lights in the
athletic world at one time or another
and if the team should play in Ham
mond, that city would come as near
seeing a real college football team as 1t
ever will.
Out on the sand patches of Gary the
men have practiced faithfully night af-
ter night and it is safe to say that If
the speed they now show in ankle deep
sand is any criterion. they will be the
fastest team in the state on dry land.
When a man kicks ball in Gary
his left leg is buried to the ankle in
san0 ana II generally requires the nell
Of two men to pull him out so that the
play can go on.
The Gary team will average 15C
pounds, although there are some large
men on it. The Hammond field Is the
one they now have their eyes on and
after the good showing the boys from
that neck of the woods have made with
the Englewood team. Gary has taken
notice.
The lineup of the team from the sand
dunes will bear inspection and Gary
wants Hammond to take a slant at IT

FOUND DROWNED IN
SIX INCHES OF WATER
Body of Man Believed to be
G. Nelson, Fished Out
of Mire.
DEATH BELIEVED ACCIDENTAL
Absence Of Marks Of Violence Leads
the Police to Discredit Muir
der Theory.

A man who is supposed to be c. Nell
son of 100 North Carpenter street,
Chicago, was found dead at o'clock
this morning south of Forsythe ave-
nue., near the Indiana Harbor tracks.
He was first seen by Engineer Jack
Dick, engineer on one of the switch
engines running on the Indiana Har-
Dor line The police department was
notified and Captain Bunde went to
the scene with Emmerling's ambulance
The man was found lying in about
eigh inches of water, and It is thought
that he was drowned. Upon examina-
tion 1t was found that he had not
been dead very long and 1t is the
theory that he had been paid Saturday
and spent a good share Of his money
in drink There were no bruises on
the body that would indicate he had
been the victim of foul play and there
was every indication that the man had
drowned in the mire. 1t is probable
that he was walking along the tracks
in an intoxicated condition and fell
down the embankment and was unable
to raise.
The man was in a deplorable condi-
tion and his clothes gave evidence that
he had been out on a spree. He was
found lying on his back in the water
and mud. although his features were
undisturbed The circumstances of his
death were horrible. His relatives will
be notified at once If they can be found
The inquest will be held at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
The only clew as to his Identification
was an empty envelope found upon his
person with the name c. Nelson and
the address 100 North Carpenter street,
Chicago Another card was apparently
a railroad pass on which was written
Chicago to Gibson. and below. the name
Of the Western Boarding and Supply
company, 81 South Clinton street On
a yellow order slip of q rug cleaning
factory was the address S6S Pine Grove
avenue. The man was probably en-
ployed at the Gibson yards.

DISORDER REIGNS
At STANDARD STEEL
Pay Day Occasions Lively
Times at Shanty Town
Near Car Plant.
BAD BOOZE IS RESPONSIBLE
Police Interfere in One Row and
Fighters Join Forces to
Resist Arrest.

Saturday night being pay night at
the Standard Steel Car company, there
was a hot time In shanty town, nearby
and the officers had busy time keep
ing the men folks on che move and
queuing the spirits made joyous by the
bad booze handed out at the nearby
hostelres. The police department of
the company was busy as well as the
Hammond officers and steered many
drunken employees who live in the COM
panys houses, from the streets to their
homes. Others were lined up and the
riot act was read and they were wise
enough to pass on.
Fred Brindek and Paul Skvenwski
started an argument in one of the sa-
looms, which ended in a fight. The men
mixed 1t up In fine style until the ar
rival of the police from Hammond. Two
belligerants were placed under arrest
and at once joined forces against their
common enemy, the policeman. and one
Of them pulled out a drife pin while
the other dug for knife. The officers
saw the game, however. and disarmed
the two men before they had a chance
to do any damage. In local court the
two men were fined SIS each By Judge
Mcmahon. which they paid.
Mike Gross, another laborer, got a
taste of high life and started to make
trouble in a saloon. The wife of the
proprietor came to the front and tried
to subdue him. but he seized her by the
shoulders and told her that her place
was in the rear. He likewise was
given a SIS fine.
Chief Rimbach is satisfied that there
was not more trouble in the camp.

Rockech who is suspected to have
stabbed a man BY the name Of Mike
Buckwich in a free for all fight in a
bunk house near Gibson and who was
also taken to the Cook County hospital

It seems apparent that there has been
a confusion or names in one way or
another and that Amelia Blozowic and
Mike Buckwich are one and the same
person and that Eli Rockech is the man
who Is held for the stabbing OF the
man who died in the hospital this
morning
The fight occurred Sept 1s and it Is
said that Ell, Paul and Adam Rockech

Ends Fatally.

The trial of Tom Dolton for the mur-
der of Calhoun Wallace was called
for hearing in the Lake superior court
in Hammond this morning. and a large
delegation of Garyites. including Chief
Of Police Joseph D. Martin, officer
Klopf and several negro witnesses,
came to Hammond to testify at the
hearing. The defendants lawyers en-
tered a motion for continuance, but
when this was denied them they asked
for change OF venue to the Valpa-
raiso court. which was granted.
The history OF the case is still fresh
in the minds OF the people of this re-
gion. Tom Dolton and Calhoun Wal
lace were both interested in a negro
woman by the name of Lizzie Jones.
It is said that Dolton and Wallace
quare1ed about her in a saloon in the
Patch" and that Wallace got the bet
ter Of Dolton in the fight that followed.
Dolton was not satisfied with the
outcome of the fight, however, and, Sc
curing revolver, he went to look for
the man who had thrashed him. Later

with another negro known as Big

tin knew that Dolton liked his old
boss and that he would work for him
