BEST ONE THIS SEASON
Z" Cowboy Girl" " at Towles'
Pleases Audience and
Takes Well.

The Cowboy Girl" which began a
three nights engagement at Towle's
opera house last night attracted a
large crowd and proved the best show
that has appeared at Towles theater
this season.
The play is a thrilling western musi-
cal drama and held the attention Of
the audience from the very start. There
was not weak character in the whole
ply and the large crowd which wit
messed the first performance in this
city were delighted with the produc-
ton.
The point was not complicated one,
but it had to do with the fortunes Of
number of people who had settled
in the Snake River valley in New Mex
leo. The play was filled with humor,
pathos and tragedy and there were
dramatic climaxes which thrilled the
whole audience.
The play was varied with musical Sc
lections in which a sextette of pretty
girls figured In fact the chorus was
excellent and made the entertainment
so varied in its nature that everybody
was delighted with the production. 1t
is safe to say that no attraction at
Towle's this year has met with a more
enthusiastic reception than the Cow
boy Girl"

EAST CHICAGO POLICE
ARE MUCH BAFFLEO
Try to Find Clews to Numer-
Gus Burglaries, But Are
Unsuccessful.
OVER A DOZEN THEFTS OCCUR
Two More Houses Entered By Ma
rauders Last Night In
Sister City.

East Chicago, Ind, Oct 16.-The po-
lice department has its hands full in
trying to locate the source of the many
mysterious burglaries and robberies in
this city and Indiana Harbor during the
past two or three weeks. In that per-
iod, over half a dozen houses have been
entered and small thefts made. The
latest to be brought to the notice of
the department are four burglaries on
Wednesday evening, all in Indiana Har-
Dor and evidently committed by the
same person. or persons.
About midnight the Calvin home on
Drummond street was entered, al
though nothing can be missed by the
inmates of the house. The Sprague
home, at the corner of One Hundred
and Thirty ninth and Drummond
streets, was next visited by the maraud-
ers, and here IS in cash and a gold
watch belonging to. Miss Sprague were
obtained. The Erthley saloon, near the
corner of One Hundred and Thirty
eighth and Euclid avenue, was also
visited, a window pried open but the
robbers evidently were frightened away
before they could reach the interior of
the building. The home of j. Barber,
on Drummond street, also reports 10
the police of an attempted burglary,
the rear door of the house being pried
open, although nothing was received by
the unknown visitors.
Unable to Explain 1t. =
Chief Higgins is unable to explain
the frequence OF the burglaries, but is
of the opinion that an organized gang
is operating in the vicinity of Indiana
| Harbor. 1t generally believed that
the guilty parties are the same who
| have annoyed local storekeepers for the
past month by gaining admission tc
their shops and stealing small articles
'of little value. Chief Higgins declares
that he has a good clew to the identity
of the criminals and promises to brins
the suspected parties to light within &
! few days

surprise to the republicans of Gary

The fifty republicans went out to
hear Mr.. Gompers out of respect for the
fact that he is at the head of the Am
erican Federation of Labor but they
were surprised TO find that they were
actually in a majority at democratic
meeting.
Mr.. Gompers spoke from the rear end
Of dray. There were two flags stuck
upon it in the way OF decorations.
There Mr.. Gompers stood with the
Gary sand blowing into his eyes and
made twenty minute speech.
In fact the blowing sand moved him
to remark that if the people of Gary
had the sand which was all around
them they would stick up for Bryan
The crowd took his remark to mean
that it would take great deal of sand
to stick up for the Peerless one.
Mr.. Gompers spent most of his time
in an attack on Mr.. Watson and other
republicans. He claimed that he did
not have 1t in for Mr.. Watson as he had

grieved today to learn of the death of
ADJUST Voss. the 16-year-old son of Mr..

for three years, died this morning at

the last few weeks. He had gained to
such an extent that he was able to be
out on the street and his friends were
looking for his complete recovery. He
suffered relapse, however, and being
weak, he succumbed to the attack. The
