RED LIGHT" BEGINS

Dive Keepers License Bonds
Turned Down in West
Hammond.

The semi-monthly meeting of the
West Hammond village board was
held last night at the village hall, all
members being present and everything
passed off smoothly.
Attorney S. K. Markham was pres
ent and asked If the board had taken
any action on his communication ask
ing why the dives were allowed to run.
He was infromed that his communi-
cation had been thrown in the waste
basket and that no further attention
would be paid to it.
Fifteen saloon and dive keepers
were present and filed their bonds for
new licenses. which, If are granted will
be done May 2, but the board for rea-
sons that they are keeping to themselves
refused TO take any action on them and
the matter was held over until the
next meeting which will be held next
Thursday night.
Although the members of the board
refuse to say whether or not they re-
ceived word from Chicago, advising
them against taking action on the
bonds. this is generally believed to bt
the case.
One of the members of the new
board says that nearly all of the trus-
tees realizing what harm the dives are
doing, are in favor of ousting them
and it is now generally believed tha
they are willing to work with tht
states attorney in the matter.

FIGHT BETWEEN TWO
JOHN KRIzICHES
Cousins of the Same Name
Quarrel-One Stabs
Other-May Die.

A stabbing affray that may prove
fatal occurred IN Whiting last night
when John Krizich was slashed and
stabbed several times in the body by
his cousin whose name is also John
Krizich.
John Krizich No. 2. gave a birthday
party last night at the home of his
friend Paul Gaulbonich on 121st street
in honor of his 22nd birthday and in
vited several of his friends to attend
During the forepare of the evening
everything was lovely but later or
about II o'clock, Krizich No / and No.
became engaged in an argument over
who was making the most money and
during the argument Krizich No. 2
pulled out long dagger and started
slashing right and left towards his
cousin
In this he was assisted by his friend
George Lukazich who never faild get
ting in a few punches on Krizich No.
when an opening was offorded.
After stabbing Krizich several times
the two fellows concluded it was about
time for them to get away so they
made their escape through side door.
Arrest AssaiIants.
A physician was first summoned to
dress the wounds of the remaining
Krizich and then the police were noti-
fed and officer Backus was detailed by
the Chief to go out and look for the
two would be murderers. After search
ing for half an hour he located his men
and arrested them taking them to the
Jail where they are now confined, as no
one could be secured to go on their bail.
The men will have hearing before
Judge Jones at Whiting tomorrow.
Krizich No. l was brougt to Hammond
this morning and was placed in st.
Margarets hospital where he lies in a
critical condition and it is not believed
that he will survive the fierce cuts that
were inflicted through his neck and
shoulders.
There were several witnesses pre-
sent who say that the attack was en-
tirely uncalled for.
The injured man is employed as fore
man at the Candle works of the Stand
ard Oil company.

South Chicago. April 27.-As a re-
suit Of the work Of three clever crooks.
who ii is believed are working Chicago
and the surrounding cities and towns.
two trusting foreigners are mourning
the loss of S34 which they handed over
to the men in exchange for Confed-
crate 500 bill at South Chicago today.
The scheme used by the crooks is an
old one. but was work with success
this morning. and it is thought by the
police that the men intend to flood the
towns about here with the bad bills.
The men caught in the net OF the
thieves are Louis Cagnati of 9504 Buff
falo avenue. and his friend. Bredial
Fernado. They were walking along
one of the side streets in South Chi
cago when they were approached by
two men who showed them what seem
ed to be a new 500 bin. The men
asked them If they had lost the bill.
and thinking they could make money
easily, they Immediately claimed own
ership. The two strangers then told
Cagnai that they were not so sure
about the ownership but they would
split the money with him. This he was
eager to do and after searching his
pockets and those of his friend. Fer
nado, $34 was dug UP. and the two men
took this in exchange for the bill. The
two unsuspecting victims. in great re-
joicement. then went to the store of f.
Lasher, S459 Superior avenue, and. after
making small purchase, attempted

to pass the bin on him Mr.. Lasher
Immediately saw that the bill was a

two frightened men We're taken into

to the police. A good description of
the crooks was given. and word was
Immediately sent to surrounding cit

They go in pairs and work the game.
while the third man comes along, ap-
parently a stranger and the bill is
shown to him, and he promptly declares
ii genuine. and offers little more
money than the victims have been
asked The two men then refuse to
sell him the bill but OFFER IT to the
victim instead. They usually chose
the Polish or Italian district to work
the game. II the victim looks pros-
porous they try the 500 bill or the
$50 and if he looks to be in poor cir
cumstances they flash a $40 or $50
bill. Owing TO the large colonies Of
foreigners in this section it is thought
that the men viii attempt TO shove

Look TO the Boy.
Rev. Charles Albert Smith laid great
stress upon the Importance of look
ing after the boy who would be com-
PEELED in the future to carry on the
work in the Calumet region that their
fathers began. Mr.. Smiths points were
all well taken and his toast was loudly
applauded. His subject was Schools
and Churches" and to the business men
he said that the grandest business OF
all was the training of the boy.
Percy Parry gave an entertaining
nonologue in response to a toast, The
Press" and his auditors lauged vocifer-
ously at some Of his stories. The clos
| ing speech was made by A NJ. Turner,
whose subject was The Future OF the
/ Calumet Region" Mr.. Turner INDUCED
| in little good natured raillery at the
/ expense Of Mayor Becker, who defeated
/ him for mayor a year or two ago anu
his toast. though short, was appre-
ciated.
W. B. Conkey spoke extemporaneous-
~ at the request Of several Of the
banqueters and denied a former inn
plication that he was a dreamer. He
was the only man to advocate the
amalgamation of all the cities Of the
Calumet region and his sentiments
seemed to strike popular chord
Hammond's biggest celebration came
to a close at II o'clock and in the
opinion of all who participated in it
the influence Of the speeches that wera
heard by the business men last eyen-
ing will work wonders in the future
in turning dreams OF today into the
accomplishments Of tomorrow.

WILL TRY OFFICIALS
FOR EMBEzzLEMENT?
Four Former Clerks of
United States Supreme
Court are in Trouble.
Especial to Lake County rimes).

Indianapolis. April 2s-Unless four
sums of money, ranging from $2,5OO to
almost $4,000. are paid to Ed V. Fitz-
patrick, clerk of the supreme court, by
midnight Saturday night, he will. on
Monday morning notify the attorney
general in an open letter that four of
the former clerks of the court are al
legged to owe these four sums. and
await his action in trying to enforce
the collection of these notes
The four men affected, including one
estate, are Alexander Bess, who is al
legged to owe S3,85224; Andrew NJ.
Sweeney, former president of the State
Life Insurance company. who is alleg-
ed to owe $3,6S7.41; William T. Noble.
the amount being s2,460.91, and the
estate of Simon P. Sheerin, the amount
being s3,676.19.
These amounts are sums that are al
legged to be due sheriffs and clerks over
the state for fees that the above four
supreme court clerks collected and
which were never paid to the out coun-
ty clerks and sheriffs, owing to the
fact that they never made a demand
for these fees. They are sums made
UP of fees that the supreme court clerks
collected, acting for the county Off
GERS. The county officers in question.
for one reason or another, never made
claim for these fees, and the supreme
court clerks are alleged to have re-
tanned them.
Collection Under New Law.
to enforce the collection of these fees
is made, or will be made under a law
passed by the last legislature to COM
pei the former clerks to turn over to
the state those fees which these state
officers collected, and which the local
officers to whom they were due never
called for. The law gave them sixty
days within which to make this pay
ment. The act that was passed be-
came a law Feb. &c, 1907, by reason OF
an emergency clause, and the sixty
days will be up at midnight Saturday
night Hence the demand that will be
made next Monday morning.
None of the four mentioned above
have made auy move towards payfne
the amounts that the state will try
to get. Robert C. Brown, the CLERK
who preceded Ed Fitzpatrick, paid over
something like $4,000 just before he lef
his Office. He was not only willing tc
do this, but he is said to have beer
responsible for the law that was JUS
passed.
The other four have made no move
however, and it is understood they will
fight the collection of these moneys
Some one of the men will be used foi
a test case, probably, and if the stat,
wins that, then not only will suit b,

many other clerks back of the fou
named above.

Newsboy Who Assaulted
Editor Goes on Trial
Tomorrow.

The case of Lewis Burton a news
boy, charged with assault and battery
upon the person of Percy A. Parry is
scheduled to come up before Judge Nc
Mahon in the city court tomorrow
What might otherwise be regarded as
an ordinary street brawl has been given
extraordinary Importance by the atti-
tude of the newspaper to which the
complainant is attached in an editorial
capacity, which paper chooses to regard
the incident as an attack upon itself
by the LAKE COUNTY TINES If the
paper with which Mr.. Parry is connect
ed wishes to fasten the responsibility
for the street brawl upon the LAKE
COUNTY TIMES, of course that is its af-
fair.
That the LAKE COUNTY TIMES dis
claims any connection with the incident
and deeply deplores it is not ex-
pected to take any tucks or flounces
out of the robe Of martyrdom which
the paper with which Mr.. Parry is con-
nected pleases to assume. The mere
fact that an attacne of the LAKE
COUNTY TINES was instrumental in saw
ing the boy from a night in jail after
Mr. Parry had caused his arrest is
sufficient warrant for the paper with
which Mr.. Parry Is connected to hold
the LAKE COUNTY TINES and its staff
responsible for the alleged assault upon
Mr.. Parry.
Times Files Disclaimer.
An accredited representative of the
LAKE COUNTY TIMES called upon Col LIE
Grand T. Meyer. Mr. Parry's attorney,
yesterday to register a disclaimer of re-
.4r,T,
apparently resulted in damage to Mr..
Parry's person and feelings. also to
deplore the incident and express the
sympathy of this paper if such SYM
pathy would be accepted in the spirit
in which it was offered. 1t was also de-
clared that the LAKE COUNTY TIMES had
no quarrel, physical or professional
with Mr.. Parry or any of his fellow
editors.
4 "Casus BeIIi."
It was hardly expected that these
protestations and tentative apologies
would prevent the street brawl being
considered a casus belli. but the ac-
redited representative of the LAKE
COUNTY TIMES left the presence of Col
Meyer with a clear conscience and sat
isfied that he had done his full duty in
the premises
An attempt may be made tomorrow
! in the face of all protest to prove that
Mr.. Parry was set upon by a parcel OF
hired assassins and that he was borne
down by weight of numbers. The sim
pie fact in the case as dspa ssionately
gathered and now dispassionately
printed is that Mr.. Parry waged a
los, ing argument with a solitary news
boy, the head and front of whose of
tending was that he hailed from Chi
cago and peddled the LAKE COUNTY
| TIMES.
Further than that. the LAKE COUNTY
| TINES had nothing at all to do and has
nothing at all to say.

the Nevada-DOuglas Copper company.
This train consists Of the engine. tender
and three trail wagons. guaranteed TO

the train is now in regular service and is
making a trip every day between the
mines and the railroad loading station, a
distance of over nineteen miles, with
forty tons of ore out and such freight as

The company is putting down deep well
in the flat below its properties for water
and a great lot of pipe was at the rail-
road station. awaiting hauling. We loaded
up with forty-twO tons of 1t and the train
walked off with il AID delivered il in
splendid time without a bobble. Along the
road the grades attain a pitch of 10 per
cent, but these made no difference to the
performances of the engine, which is cap

Let me tell YOU the Nevada-DOuglas
company has the ore a world of it, and
we have the machine that can haul it."
