Quincy Truax Ii Victim in Mysteri.
GUS Accident and Has Mar
row Escape.
Especial to THE TrMEs.)


Indiana Harbor, Ind, Dec. 21.-Un-
conscious and bleeding, the body of
Quincy Traux of Elkhart was found
beside the Lake shore tracks early Sat-
urday evening and brought to the Of
fee of Drs. Sauer and Ansley, in this
city, where the wounds were given
medical attention.
Investigation of the source of the
mans injuries revealed the information
that Traux is switchman in the en-
ploy of the Lake Shore company, and
was switching cars near the canal at
the time his accident occurred. The
train, operated by Engineer Smith, was
running at a good rate of speed as the
Berry Lake elevator was passed, the
train heading towards Whiting. Sud-
denly, the engineer, according to the
injured mans tale, gave the signal tc
prepare for a sudden stop and the train
was brought to a standstill After a
few minues delay the train proceeded
on its trip, and Traux was forgotten by
his fellow employees.
Injury a Mystery.
Half an hour later. as the c., I. & S.
westbound train passed the spot where
the unconscious man still lay beside
and telephoned to the Harbor station
Immediately after Whiting was reach
ed. Undertaken TeaPs ambulance was

of serious Commissions about the head, {

and badly lacerated ear. It is mys
terry to the physicians how the mar
was able to sustain the shock of his in

as has ever been recorded on the an
nails of the local railroad.
Traux is a young fellow, about 2
years of age, and resides at 1113 Har

GLORY BIG ITEM IN
LAKES RECOMPENsE
e. E. Jones Required to Maintain
Two Deputies Regularly and in
Times Of Rush Put on Night
Force-Must ALI Be Paid Out of
His Own Pocket-Suggests Remedy

County Recorder H. e. Jones If of
the opinion that&khe increase in the
number of land safes in Gary and Ham
mond entitle him to an increase and
readtustment in the amount of his sal
airy. Mr.. Jones was in Hammond this
morning, before leaving for Indianap-
oils. where a meeting of the State Re-
corders' association Is scheduled to
take place tomorrow.
The meeting of the associ alton, which
has been organized but short time,
is called for the purpose of drawing
up a bill for the legislature, systema-
tizing the recorders books and regu-
lating the fees on all papers filed In
. the recorders offices throughout the
state.
AT the last regular session of the
legislature we introduced a BILL" said
Mr.. Jones to a TIMES reporter this
morning. which provided that the
county recorder should receive one
half of the fees collected over his sal
airy. Thus. If the fees collected in the
county were $500 per year. the re-
corder would receive one-half of S1,100
or al lover $4,000 per year. which is the
amount of the recorders salary. This
bill was killed by Governor Hanly.'
Recorder Poorly Paid Officer.
The recorder is the most poorly PAID
officer on the list of county offices, il
regard to the amount of work he Ii
required to do. In Lake county the
recorder turns in more money to this
county than any other officer and 1.
paid less for his duties.
In Delaware county the recorder i.
paid higher salary than he is in Lake
county, his salary being $4,000 per year
The amount of business transacted i.
about one-third of what it is in LAX,
county. The reason for this is tina
the law fourteen years ago required
airy in accordance with the population
of the county. Fourteen years age
Delaware county had a much large
population than Lake.
Il think that the salary of the re
corder." said Mr.. Jones, should b
regulated on the amount of bushes
transacted in the county, and 1t is witt
this intention of drawing up a bill
which will be introduced in the mex
session of the legislature that tn
meeting of the State Recorders asso
citation has been called"
The enormous amount of land sale
and transfers in Gary. Hammond an
other cities of the north end of LAX
county in the last two years has doub
led the duties of the present incumben
of the recorders office. Out of sal
airy of s2.400 per year he is compelle
to hire at least two deputies in orde
to keep up with the work at the office

MILLION
DOLLAR KID
ARRESTED
A. G. Luce Arrested in Chi
cago After Committing
Forgery in Gary While
Doing Business For a Chi
cago Novelty House.

A. c. Luce, known I'm Chicago as the
s.mfllion-dollar kid" because of his ex-
travagant habits, was arrested there
Saturday afternoon on a charge of fOrg-
cry and robbery. Luce appeared in
Gary Friday, the day before he was ar
rested where he secured $50 from the
First National bank on "a forged United
States Express money order, and $40
from another source which has not been
officially reported to the police as yet.
Luce, who calls himself George E.
Broades in Chicago, was arrested there
Saturday after he had spent the mon
ey which he had obtained in Gary. He
was known to be leading a fast life
and spent an enormous amount of mon
ey. The police in fact were unable to
figure out where he secured so much
money and consequently began to sus-
pect that all was not right. After
investigation they decided that he was
implicated in number of forgeries and
other crooked deals which resulted in
his arrest.

Big Field of Potatoes.

George F. Beardsley, of the VILLAIN
ette valley, writes that he will be in
North Yakima early next week, where
he will meet his brother who has in
terests in the eastern part of the
Yakima district on the Columbia,
where they will together plant 100
acres of potatoes and 80 acres Of on
ions this year, says the Yakima Re-
public. The remaining 20 acres Of
their quarter section will be devoted
TO fruit culture. This 100 acres Of
land has been twice taken and aban-
doned as a homestead. How Mr..
Beardsley acquired it is not stated. but
IL Is under the Hanford canal, 1t Is
said: hence, it's cultivation. Boards

Obliged to buy all the available sup
plies from the stores at Alert Bay,
taking everything in the biscuit line,
from fancy macaroons to pilot bread
the latter being present in the largest
quantity.
Owing to the activity of the police
in the neighborhood, there will be no
sale of Indian girls this feast, which
according to the redmen, will to a
considerable extent detract from the
importance of the event. This will
be the first time for years that a pot
latch will have been held without a
number of girls and young women
being disposed of by auction, the
purchasers being generally braves
who have courted the dusky maidens
for some time, and whose advances
have not always been repelled by the
ladies whom they later acquire at
auction The price of Indian girls
disposed of at a potlatch varies con-
siderably. ranging all the way from
couple of hundred dollars to any
thing over a thousand.

callty, which was a little log cabin,
14x16. which still stands. In this
log cabin he lived for several years
devoting his time to stock raising.
About this time he bought 40 acres OF
land for 5000. This same property

has had three children, two of whom
are now living-Joel and Orem.

Three thousand Indians have gath

Alert Bay for the purpose of partici-

at that place by Chief George and a
number of wealthy Indians who have
been making preparations for the fes-

gorgeouslSess of the potlatch may be
cleaned from the fact that Chief
George only few days ago invested
500 in hard cash in a supply of bis

tribesmen on the opening day. In or
