have his attorney, D. ]. Moran. in the
injunction case against the City Of
East Chicago and its officers file an
affidavit charging contempt of court
OF the officers of the City of East Chi

The burglary and assault was one
, of the most daring daylight robDeries
ever recorded in this city. 1t took
place at the Brown home yesterday
noon, shortly after Mrs. Brown re-
turned from her morning shopping
tour. On entering the front door, she
proceeded to the upper part of the
house and removed her jacket. She
then started to descend the stairs,
purse in hand, when she was rudely
grasped by the wrist and told TO hand
over the pocketbook Leveling a re-
volver at her forehead, she was told
to give over the money without delay
and not TO utter word.

ant declared, Il will blow your brains
out with this revolver" He then
dragged her to the foot of the stairs
and she renewed her defensive at
tacks. Striking her three times with
the butt of the revolver. the unknown
marauder left her lying on the parlor
floor in a Iethargic condition. 1t was
several minutes before Mrs. Brown re-
covered to find that the house had been
ransacked and her money stolen. Her
nephew's trousers were stolen and his
trunk opened by the intruder A haul
of $35 was his reward from this pro-
cedure and with the gain of $40 from
Mrs. Browns purse, he felt well re-
paid for his attack.
The police were unable to find any
clews to the mans identity or escape,
although several laborers' camps were
searched during the afternoon. The
man was rather tall and of slender
build" said Mrs. Brown. He wore a
pair of blue overalls under Mr.. Brown
brownish colored trousers, light
shirt and a dark SLOUGH hat He was
also smooth-shaven and did not have
the appearance of a foreigner" A
further search of the house revealed a
pfllowcase nearly filled with the family
silverware and articles of clothing. The
police were notified Immediately of the
assault and Chief of Police Higgins
and officer German handled the case
Mrs. Brown was on the verge of a
collapse following her narrowing ex-
perience and somewhat regretfully dis
played the three large bumps on hel
head caused by the burglars revolver
Police departments of all the neigh
boring cities have been notified of the
attack and a description furnished then

WATCH FOR RESULTS
OF SPECIAL SESSION
Gary Salookeepers Hope
That Legislature Will
Help Their Cause.
ATTORNEYS STUDY QUESTION
Clarence Bretch Says It Is Hard To
Make Prediction at This Time
~ e. +ba 0,+ooyoo
as to the Outcome.

A question of vital interest to the
saloonkeepers of Gary is that of
whether or not, if the local option law
passes the legislature, it will annul the
blanket remonstrance law which has
recently swooped down with full force
upon Gary They are also wondering
whether or not, if it does annul the
remonstrance law, it will affect the
remonstrances which have already been
filed and passed upon by the county.
Attorneys study Question.
Several attorneys, it is understood,
have been employed to look up the
matter since the calling of the spe-
ciaI session by Governor Hanly, in
which it is probable that the local OPP
ton law will be passed. AS soon as
the governors action was announced
the local saloonkeepers began to see
ray of hope.
One of the attorneys who has been
employed for this purpose, Clarence
Bretsch says that he is in a quahdry
to know how it would affect the re-
monstrance law as far as he has gone
into the case, and is not yet prepared
to make his report, Mr.. Bretsch says,
however, that almost everything will
depend on the wording of the local
option law which is presented to the
legislature.
Depends Upon Paragraph.
If there is a paragraph inserted pro-
viding for the annulment of that act
there will still be a question whether
or not it will affect the remonstrances
which have already been filed. unless
there is a special provision for such
eases in the bill. 1t may be possible
that the remonstrance will be killed
without any specific reference to it,
because of conf1iction.
This matter, it is understood, has
been thoroughly thrashed out. in sew
eraI meetings of the saloonkeepers' as

once what the passage of the local OPP
ton law meant, the attorneys were

ty will be safeguarded in the future.
