FREEZES
HIS LEGS;
AMPUTATED
Charles Underwood, a Gary
"Rounder,'' Will Round
no More; Is a Helpless
Cripple Now; Come from
Chicago.

Charles Underwood, So years old, was
the sad victim of an amputation yes
terday morning in the Mercy hospital
when one foot and half of the other
was removed because of having been
frozen during the early part of the
month. The case was one of the most
pitifui that has come to the attention
of the hospital authorities.
Underwood is apparently bright old
man. but has been a ''rounder" all his
life working at add jobs here and there,
until he finally struck Gary. During
the time that he has been in the Steel
City, Underwood stayed at the Della
ware hotel and was employed in the
steel mills shoveling concrete. Finally.
however, he reached the stage where
he could not pay his bills at the hotel
and the police were asked to put him
out
aoth Feet Are Removed.
It is not known whether or not his
feet were frozen while he was wander
ing around the city after that or
whether the facts are as he relates,
which. the physician in attendance says
are improbable, that his feet became
wet while he was shoveling concrete
his feet froze. At any rate. however,
they were frozen so that circulation
stopped in both of his feet, and both
were literally dead. The mans feet
remained in this condition for two
weeks before he asked for medical as
sistance, and was taken to the hospi-
tai. Here it was found necessary to re-
move the dead section to. prevent .in-
fection of the remainder of his body.
Before the operation took place the
old man informed the doctors, that II
it was not successful, that no one
should be notified and that he be buried
by the state. This morning, however,
+ he was reported to be doing nicely and
1t is not thought that infection will
iset. in. The.ord man did not say what
he intended to do with himself In case
he recovered and he will probably be-
come a burden on the public

FIRST CONTRACT FOR
GARY CITY HALL LET
Town Board Wants Excava-
tion Work to Begin
at Once.
COSTS 2OC. Per SQUARE YD.
City Fathers at Regular Meeting
Also Pass a Pure Ice Ordinance
Dealers Are Warned.

The contract was let yesterday aft
ernoon by the Gary town board for
the excavations for the new city hall
and fire station. to be erected next
spring by the city OF Gary. The con-
tract was awarded to the Gary Con-
struction company for the price of 20
cents per square yard. The two next
lowest bids were those of the w. G.
Covington Construction company. %
cents per square yard, and Frank
Brink, 221s cents per square yard.
The letting of the contract. which
is entirely separate from the contract
for the construction of the building,
means that the work will start at once
so that everything will be in readiness
to start the actual work of construc-
ton before the frost is out of the
ground next spring. There were nearly
dozen bids for the work and the
prices ranged UP as high as thirty cents
per square yard.
Get Pure Ice.
Another matter of Importance dispos-
ed of by the board was the passage OF
pure ice law, which Is to regulate the
quality of ice sold in this city. Here
after no vegetable matter will be al
lowed in the ice. such as weeds ant
pond lilies. 1t is also hoped to kee1
out such matter as fish and frogs
which specimens have also been found
secreted In the improvised cold storag,
plants.
The ice which has been used abou
| Gary has been particularly bad, being
/ full of secretions which have not onl,
made 1t dirty. but Health Officer Tenn
plin says that 1t is injurious to health
This ordinance has been under consid
Grafton for some time, but owing to tn
fact that the ice had been harveste.
for the season the board thought /
best to wait until another crop wa
| about to be harvesed before the Law
was passed. This will give the dealer
ample warning.

TWO MEN ARE UNDER ARREST
Especial to THE TINES }

Indiana HarbOr, Ind, Dec. 30.-The
local police department is now con-
fronted with an arson mystery that
promises to be interesting to mt least
two Indiana Harbor men. They are
of the belief that the lre In the DOM
kowski building, ON Cedar street, was
of incendiary origin, and ON follow
ing this angle of the case, were re-
The building was occupied by three
families, and used as a boarding house
by about thirty foreigners. Among
these were John Bukowski, an old man
so years of age, and Mike Bubert, who
gives his age as 27 years Early yes
terday morning officer Mike German
was called into a saloon on Cedar
street and informed that the two men
were talking about the fire, each ac-
cusing the other of setting it. After
listening to the mems declarations for
few minutes, German arrested both
men and escorted them to the jail at
East Chicago.
GrilIed BY DeBriae.

Judge DeBriae and under fierce grill

lieve Bukowski set fire to the house
Although maintaining his own inno-
cence, Bukowski refused to say that
his friends was not guilty. The out
come of the affair is that Bubert is
still in Jail, awaiting the result of an
Investigation now pending, in which
Caief Higgins expects to secure rather
sensational evidence against his pris-
oner.
Bukowski lost all his clothes and
money in the fire of Monday evening
When arraigned before Judge De-
Briae, he had on but thin undershirt
and a pair of trousers. In his frantic
efforts to escape the flames he had al
llowed his clothing to be consumed
He was supplied with a lot of second
hand clothing from the city storeroon
and allowed to return to his work a

Source Of Poison Dangers.

The action of foods and liquors on
their receptacles may produce deadly
poisons. Acid fruits cooked in copper
or zinc pots are particular source of
danger. A man who was taken Ill In

mineral poisoning learned that the fine
old brandy he carried in his back
pocket had dissolved some Of the cop
