GENUINE CLOTHES
LINE CASE
This Quarrel Started Over
One and a Clothes Pole
Was the Weapon.
Especial to Lake County Times.)

South Chicago, July 17.-Mrs. Ed
ward Jerome. living at S736 Houston
avenue. became entangled in a quarrel
last night with Mrs. Agnes Zaschin-
zanski who lives above her in the
same fiat and after the encounter Mrs
Jerome's face was a mass of bruises
and blood where she alleges she was
struck by Mrs. Zaschinzanski. The in
jured woman was taken to the Fif-
wounds were dressed by Ambulance
Physician Drahm. Later she was re-
moved TO her home at S736 Houston
avenue, where she is confined to her
bed. Mrs. Zaschinzanski was arrested
on a warrant sworn out by Mrs. Jer-
ONE and will have to appear in court
this morning before Judge Girten on a
charge of assault and battery with in
tent TO Kill.
This is what the police call a clothes
line case and the fact that the quarrel
started over a clothes line and Mrs
Zaschinzanski used a clothes line pole
as a weapon. only makes the point
stronger that it really is a clothes line
case
The two families are said to have
quarreled on several previous occasions
although they never came to blows.
At her home this morning Mrs. Jer-
ONE was a pitiful sight with her face a
mass of bandages and plasters. The
case came up at 10 O'Clock this morn
ing before Judge Girten.

WILL SHOOT TOM
DOLTON ON SIGHT
Police Resume Their Chase
After Negro; Latter's
Victim Dead.

The chase after the wild man, and
the latter's subsequent killing took
the attention of the police from the
colored man who is wanted for murder
in Gary, and today the chase will be
taken up afresh. The fugitive is Tom
Dolton and his victim. Calhoun Wal
lace, died last night at ST Margarets
hospital, Hammond, after lingering
agony.
The shooting took place Sunday at
Gary in a quarrel over a woman, and
Dolton, who is known as one of the
toughest characters in the Patch fired
several shots at the woman, Wallace
and man known as "The Big Fellow, .
one of which took effect in Wallace.
He then made his getaway into the
brush. but he refused to leave the
territory around Gary. and is waiting
for chance to get back and kill the
woman and her lover
He is known to be armed and Tues
day morning broke into a negro camp
compelling the people to give him
something to eat. He told them he
would brook no interference in his
plans of murder. either from the peo-
pie or from the police. and he will
shoot on sight. 1t is thought that he
is hiding in the woods and out-camps
on the other side of Gary. The police
will make an effort to land their man
today and it may result in another man
hunt. The officers will take no chances
with Dolton. however, and will prob
ably shoot him on sight

TRAITOR TO HIS
FRIEND IN NEED
Foreigner Steals From Ben
efactor and Gets Two
Months in Jail.

1ngratitude is one of the greatest
sins in the mind of some of the foreign
boarding house keepers at the Stand
ard Steel Car settlement, and one for
eigner probably thinks that Judge Nc
Mahon is of the same opinion. The
man is John Tomera and he was fined
$50 and given a two months sentence
in the local court. this morning on a
charge of larceny.
lfomera came over from the old coun-
try looking for a chance to better him
self like hundreds of his fellow coun-
trymen. After landing in the east he
was shipped to Chicago and eventually
landed at the Standard Steel settlement,
without a friend in the world He was
taken in tow by some of his country
men, who had the advantage of a few
weeks stay in Hammond and they
found him work as a laborer at the
new plant. One of the men was John
Schidloski. a boarding house keeper,
who furnished the stranger with food
and lodging until he could earn enough
money to pay for his own.
Tomera, finding that he was in the
land of plenty and had more money af-
ter his first pay day than he had ever
possessed heIore at one time IN the old
country, Immediately coveted more. He
watched his chance and saw the board
ing house keeper, his friend when in
need hide his hard earnings that he was
saving to bring over the wife and
kinder from the old country. So he
waited until he found the man out and
dug up the hidden money. a $40 gold
piece. and even going so far as to steal
the very Sunday shoes of his benefac-
tor, tried to make his getaway. He
was not successful, however, and was
arrested by the police of Hammond
He took his sentence this morning in
the stolid manner of his race and never
so much as moved an eyelash as he was
sent over the road.

HIS DIAMONDS MAKE
POLICE SUSPICIOUS
Police Can Stand for Every
thing But the
Sparklers.

South Chicago, July IA man
giving his name as Robert T. Cook.
aged 80 and single. was arrested by
the police last night on suspicion.
Cook who IS we'll dressed and has a
nice line Of talk, was canvassing from
house TO house and among the employees
Of the Illinois Steel company trying to
sell jewelry. After exhibiting some
diamonds the police became suspicious
and the man was taken to the polics
station where over S2,500 worth Of dia-
monds and other jewelry were found
in his clothes. The prisoner gave his
home address as st. Louis and said he
,was an iron worker BY trade. When
asked how he came into possession Of
the diamonds and jewelry. he said he
had also had q desire to be a salesman
and had sunk his two years savings
into the stock he carried with him.
However. the police place little cred
ence in his story and they are com-
municating with the St Louis author
tiles as they believe the man has. COM
mitted a burglary there IN which hs
secured the diamonds he has with him.
Several working men purchased dia-
mond rings from the man. One man,
a laborer az the Illinois Steel company,
bought ring from Cook for SIS and
this morning when taken 10 jeweler
il was said to be worth at least ss5-
The fact that Cook sold his stock 50
cheap is what led the authorities TO be
more firm IN their belief that the man
is a crook OF the first water.
/ Word is expected from the ST. Louis
authorities by this evening. While
/ lodged in cell at the fifteenth pricinet
station. Cook maintains attitude OF
/ Indifference about the affair. but says
he does not think they are using him
right in keeping him locked up when
he is an honest man. Cook said he was
/ bound for Chicago.

The two youngsters We're playing in a
basement at Zemrowski's home on

and during a conversation, Wallace ex-
hibited S2-calibre revolver. which he
said was his own and that he was
carrying 1t to guard himself against
robbers. At this, Zemrowskf dared his
playmate to discharge the weapon. At
first Wallace refused but when his
playmate continued to call him a
coward and other names, all meaning
he was afraid to do so, without looking
where he pointed the weapon he fired
one charge which struck Zemrowski in
the left leg. The bullet entered just
above the knee and ploughing upwards.

Letting out a scream, Zemrowski
reeled and fell backwards in an un-
conscious condition on the floor For

home at 1886 Houston avenue. where

nounced their Intentions of starting a
crusade against the kids of South Chi
