WAS VICTIM OF CIRCUM-
STANCES At COLUMBUS
Used Revolver in Defending Himself
and Was Sent Away-Released on
Parole After Serving Part of SEN
tenoe and Came to Gary-Resi-
dents Ask for Release.
Especial to Lake County Times,

Gary. Oct. 25.-The arrest Of stephen
Goranovitch. a workman in the employ
OF the United States Steel corporation.
has aroused a great deal of sympathy
among the citizens here who regard
Gorannovitch a victim OF unfortun-
ate circumstances. A petition is be-
ing circulated with the end in view OF
getting the prisoner out OF his difa-
culties
The arrest was made on informa-
tion furnished the police by the prison
warden at Columbus. Ohio. who stated
that Goranovitch was wanted IN Coz
lumbus for violating the parole,
granted him while serving a sentence
in the Ohio penitentiary Gorano-
vitch's story dates back several years
when he became involved In a quar-
rel with a man who slashed him across
the forehead with knife and whom,
in self defense Goranovitch attempted
to shoot. Goranovitch's bullet went
| wild. but he was nevertheless ar
rested. charged with attempt to kill
and sent TO state prison for term OF
| FIVE years. So well did Goranovitch
acquit himself while In prison that he
was released on parole after he had
served only a part OF his sentence. For
\ while he remained in Columbus but
there was little chance for him there,
carrying with him as he did the stig-
ma of an ex-convict. and he being
foreigner and unacqualnted with the
ways of the country, did not realize
/ the Importance Of remaining within
the borders OF the state. He heard
about Gary and decided to take up his
abode in the new steel city. which he
did at length, later sending for his
wife. He made no attempt to conceal
his identity. living under his real name
in Gary and working industriously for
the steel corporation in one capacity
| or another. During his thirteen
i months OF residence in Gary he
has won the respect and esteem OF his
fellow workmen and Of all with whom
he has done business. by his peaceable
and quiet ways and his honesty and
general thrift
Garonoviteh explained that the fight
in which he was responsible for his
being sent to state prison, was none OF
his seeking. but that the act for
which he was punished was committed
in self-defense.
The man who started the quarrel.
however, put him IN a bad light be-
fore the court, and he being for
eigner, unacquainted with the ways OF
the country, was unable TO round up
witnesses in his own behalf. and the
result was his conviction
No one in Gary who knows the man
doubts his story IN the least The ar
rest was made at shack No. by OFF,
GERS Klopf and Mulcahy. A reward OF
: $50 was offered for Garonovitch's cap-
{ ture.

STRAWS SHOW WHICH
WAY The WIND BLOWS
Course Will Be Excelled by Nothing
of It's Kind in the Country, Long
Island Motor Parkway Scheme
Just Far Enough From Chicago To
Be Right.

Lake county, probably Cedar Lake,
will be picked as the site by the Chi
cago Automobile club for the building
of a fivemiIe racetrack for automo-
biles, that will be second to nothing
in this country, not even to the Long
Island motor parkway scheme that is
planned for the east
The plans Tor this latest project in
the western motor world are now in
formation, and while the Chicago Auto
mobile club is not giving out its defn-
lite intention as to the location of the
site, several facts nevertheless point
toward Lake county and probably
Cedar Lake as the location Of the
track. The club officials are in com
munication with the head officials of
the Monon railroad which has turned
Cedar Lake into a summer resort, and
this would point to the probability
that the club is dickering for this site.
Furthermore the club officials want to
locate the track near enough to Chi
cago to make possible the trip in their
machines to and fro, this being a So
mile run. OF all the country roads in
the neighborhood of Chicago, the Lake
county nracadam roads are considered
the best, which would lend additional
advantages to the Chicago club.
So the originators of the idea have
been quietly making their plans. They
| figured they would need an immense
tract of land for the purpose and they
also came to the conclusion that the
best place for the track would be in
Indiana, a stones throw. so to speak
from Chicago. 1t is said such a tract
of land has been found and that il
is capable of accommodating a five
mile track. 1t is proposed TO utilize
the infeld by using it for farming pur-
poses and to erect a grandstand cap
able of seating 1000 or 5000 people
With eight or ten meets a year this
would mean in the neighborhood OF
100 600 people, which would be a pay
ing investment for any railroad, Sc
the promoters figure.
The motor car manufacturers whC
have been sounded on the proposition
all seem taken with the idea and n
II. Van Sicklen, of the Chicago Motol
club. says he has assurances from In.
dianapoHs that three of the motor con
Germs there will subscribe for $S5,00t
worth OF Stock-the makers of the Ma
tional and Premier and the Presto
Lite tank people.
1t is believed that Indiana would fur
nish an ideal location for such track
for it would be convenient to nearl,
all the western automobile manufac
turing concerns-the National and Pre-
mier in Indianapolis. the Winton, Peer
less, Stearns and Royal Tourist il
Cleveland. the Maxwell plant in New
castle, Ind; the Ford, Cadillas, Wayne
Packard and others in Detroit and tn
iApperson and Haynes in Kokomo. Al
these it is believed. would be glad L
contribute to the hvemile track 70
the advantages they would secure II
having a testing track No effort
however, will be made in this direc
tion. until the railroad situation ha
been well canvassed.

TEAM PLAYS
lST REGIMENT SUNDAY
Great Game Expected at
Harrison Park When Two
Elevens Line Up
MAY WIN HONORS OF LEAGUE
Under Direction of Coach Beacon,
Notre Dame 1903, Hammond Boys
Show Great Improvement.

On Sunday, Oct. 27, the Hammond
football team will line up against the
strong team representing the First
Regiment of Chicago. 1t being almost
the middle of the season, all teams are
supposed to have gotten down to real
hard lighting and the local boys feel
that the outcome of this game viii
have some bearing on the semi finals
for the championship of the league
Under the tutelage of Coach Beacon
the Hammond team is already show
Ing some class and should be strong
contenders for the honors of the league,
and should the local boys win this
high position for which they have
been valiantly striving for several
years, a great deal of the praise will
go to Mr.. Beacon. who it might be
said at this time played a guard posi-
tion on the 1903 Notre Dame college
football team and was accorded a
place on the All-Western football
eleven in that year.
Both in the offense and defense there
was a noticeable Improvement last
Sunday over any other previous Sun
days work. and this, the coach has
been building and strengthening up at
every practice
There is no doubt in the world but
what the Hammond team is the best
without a single exception that ever
represented Hammond. 1t might also
be said the best In Lake county.
1t is to be hoped that our boys
will bring home the piece of bunting
that represents the highest honor in
I ~,
to be regretted that there is such a
lack of enthusiasm upon the part of
the Hammond people. Occasionally
but 1t is only when the weather is
fine.
For several years the management
has been under considerable expense
to secure first class teams and because,
in several instances, the games were
| a little one-sided is no fault of theirs
But it must also be remembered that
the local team is playing a far better
game than some of the best teams in
| Chicago.
The lineup of the two teams will be
as follows:

EAST SIDE CITIZENS
PETITION FOR PARK
Document Now in Circula-
ton Already Has Two
Hundred Signatures.
RIVERSIDE SITE is FAVORED
Sam Abelman, Promoter of Project,
Which is Generally Approved
by Residents.

The movement for an east side park
is spreading so rapidly that it is hard
10 see how it can be headed Off. Sam
Abelman an9 sveral others who are
interested II. - project and have
property interests on the east side.
have circulated a petition and as a
result of one days work, have secured
over 200 names.
The sentiment is so universally in
favor of a riverside park that it is be-
lieved the names of every property
owner on the east side would sign the
petition If he had the opportunity.
The citizens of this part of town
have noticed the effect that Harrison
park has had on property values on
the south side and they propose to
use their influence for a park in their
part of town before the available land
becomes so expensive that the price
will be prohibitive.
Business Men Also Interested.
Not only the people In the territory
to be benefited have expressed a de-
sire to see a garden spot on the east
side, but the business men in the down
town district as well, favor the pro-
ject and have signed the petition.
The matter has already been taken
UP by some of the members of the
board of public works and If the coun-
Gil, Individually 1t is said. and it is
thought that they favor the purchase
of the necessary land if it can be Sc
cured at a reasonable figure. The
question has also beer touched upon
incidentally at recent council meet
ing.
If action on the matter can be na,.
this winter work could begin on the
park site next summer. and by fall the
people of the east side would not need
to journey to Harrison park or the
lake front to enjoy an outing.
| Mr. Abelman said today that there
are several other things the people OF
the east side want before they will be
satisfied, and in view of the fact that
| Hammond is growing so rapidly in
that direction, he believes they should
be given some consideration.
