GARY COUPLE PLAY
A NOVEL GAME
Four Year Old Son Stolen
About Once in Twenty
Four Hours.
FATHER NOW HAS POSSESSION
Mr.. and Mrs. Nick Mikulich Play
Tag With Baby Son to De-
light of Neighbors.

Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Nick Miku-
Itch, proprietors of a saloon on the
corner of Broadway and Twenty second
street are very much interested in
little game of tag" whach the father
and mother are playing with their four
year-old child, Evitz, who has per-
petual1y been sit" Some time ago the
mother deserted the father and child
and left for regions unknown and later
developing a desire to possess the child
returned and absconded with the child
during the absence of the father. The
father then succeeded in locating his
wife, stole the child back, lost it sew
eral times afterwards and at the last
writing is again in the possession of
its fond father.
Hide and Seek Started.
play was known as hide and seek"
with Mrs. Mary Mikulich, located some
where in South Chicago, accompanied
by a man formerly employed in the
J. Kramer grocery store, located on
Washington street. near Twenty first
street. Finally Mr.. Mikulich became
disguised with hide and seek" with
the odds so heavily against him, and de-
eIared he hoped his wife would never
come back. Shortly after notices were
published to that effect. A few days
after, however, the affair took another
aspect. and now tag is the popular
form of amusement in the Mikulich
household.
A few days ago Mrs. Mary Mikulich.
unseen and unsupported slipped into
the rear entrance of the saloon and
hastily grabbing up her child, departed
IL the same manner from her threshold.
A careful search by the husband
through the extensive region embraced
in the corporate limits of South Chicago
resulted at last in the location of the
child. In the manner aforesaid he in
turn relieved Mrs MikuIich of said
child and returned with it to Gary
Since that time. through the wiles and
and trickeries engendered by the pa
rental love, the child has changed hands
so often that it has scarcely been able
to eat two meals in any town in the
same day
Father Has Has Child Day.
At the present time, however, 1t ap-
pears as if the father had the upper
hand IN the matter as he has retained
the child for nearly twenty -four hours,
largely because of the fact that he has
employed a man for the purpose Of how
ering over the child to prevent a future
absconding by his lost "love" with the
kidnapping propensities.
Further than that" states Mr. Mi
kulich. 'if the man that got away with
my wife will marry her, I will present
him or any other lucky man with q
wedding present and at least twenty
five dollars in cash. I am done with
her. he said in broken Polish land ]
dent care if she never comes back, but
you can bet that am going to hang or
to the kid.

LITTLE GIRL VENTURES
IN MACHINES PATH
Chauffeur Unable to Stop
Machine, Runs Over
Victim.
OWNER MAKES HIS ESCAPE
James Craft of Peoria, H., Says He
Will Report Case Himself,
But Fails to Do So.

While attempting to cross Ellis ave-
nue., South Chicago, in front of an auto
mobile, little four-year-o1d Sarah Propp
was knocked down and run over by the
machine, injuring her to such an extent
that she may die.
The owner of the automobile gave
his name as James Craft of Peoria, ILL.,.
but before the arrival of a policeman
he had made his escape. Although he
left the scene of the near murder man
was in no way to blame and would
probably have been INDICATED had the
matter ever come to trial.
The accident occurred on Ellis ave-
nue., near Ninety second street. The
little Propp girl who had been playing
on one side of the street saw the auto
mobile coming but was standing still
until 1t was a few yards from her
when she attempted to cross the street
before 1T passed her, the chauffeur
threw on his brakes, striking her just
as she was stepping forward
Thought She Was Killed.
The girl was knocked several feet to
one side of the street and for a time
lit looked as though she had been in
stantly killed but upon throwing q
bucket of water in her face she re-
vived although her injuries very pain
full
Seeing the girl was not killed the
owner of the machine asked to be di-
rected to the police station saying ht
would give himself UP. He failed t.
show at the station and is believed t.
have headed for the city. Unluckily
no one remembers the number of the
machine which is rescribed as being
large black touring car without
tonneau.
The only occupants of the car wer,
the chauffeur whose name was no
given and James Craft the owner

great encampment of the Knights Of
the Modern Maccabees which opened
today promises to be one of the storm
lest sessions In the history of the order.
The trouble has been brewing in the
ranks of the order for some time past
and is due to charges of alleged in
competency in the present administra-
tion of affairs. Great Commander N. s.
Boynton of Port Huron is the chief
object of the attack of the anti-admin-
istrationists. A strong effort is to be
made to GUST Major Boynton from Of
fee. The opposing candidate is George
S. Lovelace, of Muskegon. Mich. Both
sides are today claiming that they will
win the fight. Major Boynton was the
founder of the order and has been its
head for twenty-five years.

Chicago Gets Popu-
lar Bride.

James NJ. Delaney and Miss Laurel
Donahue. 1913 Houston avenue, were
married yesterday at the BRIDES home
by Rev. George H. Bird of the South

ceremoney was simple and only few
immediate relatives and friends were
present Owing to the illness of the
brides mother the affair was very
quiet.

dinner was served for the bride and
groom and a number of guests. The
young people left for Toledo, o., and
other eastern points where they will
absent themselves on a several weeks
honeymoon. Both Mr.. and Mrs. De-
laney have many friends in the east,
whom they will visit during the trip.
The bride and groom are very pop

style with an empire back and graceful
drapery of rare old Mechlin lace
This formed bertha with ends tied
in the back.
Popular in Set.

Myrtle Donahue while A. L. Head Of
ficiated as groomsman.
A massive gold ring was used in the

being kept partly secret. 1t is known
that there will be an automobile trip in
the mountains of Virginia and a visit
with old school chums of the groom.

brief as the young couple have an

in a stock Of gowns that are the envy
of her girl friends in South Chicago.

heavy decrease is shown in the
enumeration for the township schools,
this being due in part it is believed, to
the fact that many parents have moved
into towns for the purpose of sending
their children to schools where they
may take more advanced work. The
total enumeration in the township this
year was 41S,533, and last year the
number was 424, 082 There was slight
increase in the number of children emu
merated for the town schools this year,
the number being 1926, while last year
the number was 60, 056. There was a
decrease in the enumeration for the
city schools. the number this year being
2SS,131. The number last year was 1884,
210.
| Reform in Writing Records.
In only two counties was there any
! decided increase over last year and
these were Lake county, where the in
crease was 1871, and Marion county,
where the increase was 2,499. The In
crease in the number of children in
Lake county is due largely to the
growth of the new town of Gary. In
Marion county there is no perceptible
reason for an increase and and an In
vestigation is being made by the state
Office to determine its cause. The ap-
portionment of school funds by the
state for next year will be based on
the enumeration just completed and an
increase in the number of children of
school age means an increase In the
amount of money which will be re-
ceived.

flames which had been started on them
The first started at about $50 while
the sun was still high in the west and
by the time it became dark the sight
was a magnificent one. The whole top
of the building was on fire and periodi-
cally portion of the walls would cave
in and add to the seething furnace
which was contained within the walls
of the big building.
There were no windows in the struc-
ture except in the basement and it
was only here that the sightseers
could get a glimpse of the incandes-
cent brilliance and the white heat of
the flames within.
Poles Are Burned or.
The fire was so hot that the poles
which held the Michigan Central wires
were soon burned off, although. they
stood 100 feet from the building and
the telegraph service was threatened.
The various fire departments which ar
rived were unable to do nothing toward
saving the building, for the reason that
the supply of water was inadequate
and the f1remen bent their energies
! toward saving the box cars which were
on fire, the plant Of the Western Grain
Products company and the Thuet
! Brothers cattle sheds.
| Hundreds of people were attracted
to the scene and stood about on the
ground and on the tops of box cars
watching the confiagration. Some of
them were asked to put their shout
ders to box cars which were In danger
of being burned and help to move them
out of the way, but the aggregation
from Hegewisch and the Standard Steel
Car district refused. for the reason that
they hoped to get the chance to rebuild
them.
VIII Rebuild Plant Again.
Last summer w. P. Rrice, of the Rice
Malt & Grain company and who is in
charge of the elevator. announced that
this year the company would begin the
construction of a mailing plant in
which process which he has invented
would be adopted.
He said this morning when inter
viewed by THE TIMES at his Chicago Of
fee, that the fire would not interfere
with the plans of the company. The
new mating plant will be built and 6
new fireproof elevator will be con-
structed in the place of the one which
was burned last night.
The Superior Mating company re.
Gently passed through a change BY
which the company was reorganized
A bond issue was authorized to cover
the present obligations and to pay fol
the construction of the new mailing
plant Richard Fitzgerald, the presi
dent of the Chicago Junction railroad
took up the entire issue and has {
large interest in the company.
The elevator had a capacity of from
500, 900 to 100000 bushels of grain anC
was the first elevator ever built in Thu
vicinity 1t was at one time known
as the Hawkeye elevator.

LAKE COUNTY SHOWS
AN APPREC|ABLE GAIN
School Enumeration For 1908 Shows That Lake and
Marion Counties Have Beaten All
Other Records

The school enumeration for the state

been compiled in the office of the state

Vanderburg. Washington and Wells
counties and a gain. of 244 in John
county. 1871 in Lake county, 2,499 IN
Marion county, 131 in Porter county, 1S9
IN Vermillion county and TIT in Vigo
county, but in all of the other counties
there were losses ranging from % to so
to more than 1900. A decrease of one
in the number Of children of school age
means a decrease of about 81 in the
amount of money which will be APP
portioned to that county during the
next year for school purposes.
Total Number 76s,92O.

number Of school children in the state
