GATEMAN'S VIEW IS

Dan Enright, Sr., Ignorant of Pas

Danger on Account of Rolling
Stock on Sidetrack.

A railroad accident which cost MI
chael Naginot a valuable horse and
which the friends of Dan Enright sr.
fear may cost him his position as gate
man, occurred this morning on the
Erie tracks Russell street
The nOrthbound 6:12 Erie was two
hours late into Hammond this morn
ing, and ii was the engine of this train
that killed the horse and came very
nearly killing Frank Zeller. the driver
of the Maginot team.
Could Not See Train
Zeller came from the Maginot store.
driving westward. The gates were up
and owing to a box car that stood on
siding near the crossing. could not
see the approaching train. When he
was on the track he noticed the train
only hundred feet away, and seeing
that he could not make the crossing
he turned his team at a sharp angie
northward- BY that time, however the
train was upon him, clearing the wagon
by a hairs breadth and killing a fine
bay horse, worth 5000 outright.
Was Not the Watchman's Fault.
A hundred feet toward the west stood
Mr. Enright, Mortified at the scene.
While he is the gateman he was in~no
position to see the oncoming train as
the switchmen had left string of box
cars on another siding west of the main
line His view was obstructed. and
there being no warning signal in the
| guard house, he was not notified of the
| approaching train. He could not see it
approaching, as people who gathered
on the scene learned when they pu.

man, who was very much grieved at
his neighbor's loss. and if my view
had not been obstructed it would not

LAD PROVES TO
Be A HERO
Thirteen Year Old Percy St.
Clair Rescues Babe
From Drowning.
BOY MAKES GALLANT RESCUE
West Hammond Girls Let Baby Cab
With Precious Freight Dash
in Lagoon.

Thirteen-year-o Percy St. Clair.
son of P. B. St. Clair, an Erie machin-
ist, proved himself a hero last night,
and his name will in all probability
be forwarded to the Carnegie hero COM
mission.
Acting promptly on the spur of the
moment. imbued only with one thought
to save the life of drowning baby. he
plunged headIong into the lagoon
of Harrison Park yesterday evening
and with almost super-human efforts
carried the infant child of W. Lonick,
One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street.
West Hammond. from the water.
Child is Revived
Only after twenty minutes of the
hardest work, was the child resusciated
while the urchin, little realizing how
much of man he was, wondering what
his mother would say when she found
out that his clothes were wet. He
could hardly understand why his fond
mother picked him up and pressed his
face and his still wet hair to her face,
telling him always to act in such a
manly fashion. For an answer he
pumped his foot up and down to hear
the sucking noise of water in his shoe
Unusual Accident.
The accident is one of the most un-
usual in the history of Hammond
near deaths. Two school girls, the sis
ters of the infant which fell into the
water, with their mothers permission
had brought the child in a go-cart from
West Hammond to Harrison park. In
their childish recklessness they pushed
the go-cart with its precious contents
to the top of one of the highest knolls
near the lagoon.
There they tried to show the baby
this wide, wide world, and in an un-
guarded moment they lost control OF
the cart, which with the baby in it
went peII nell down the steep incline
For the first few seconds the children
were to dumfounded to utter sound
Before the cab reached the water, they
realized the terribleness of the situa
tion and they screamed at the top Of
| their voices.
The cab sank from sight with the
baby still in it. 1t would have been {
heart-rending scene for stronger
nerves. but to see their own little baby
sister disappear beneath the water wa!
almost more than the two girls coulC
endure They did what every girl doei
that has any sense-they screamed
! Attracted by these screams young st
Clair hurried to the scene and looking
to the top of the knoll with an inquir
| ing glance, he soon discerned their dis
| tress. Without taking off his coat o
shoes, he plunged into the water, down
to where he saw the cab. 1t was TIL
first time the baby had been snatche'
up so rudely, but it did noN realize tha
for it was unconscious. People VIII
| were in the park were attracted t
the scene by this time and immediatel,
taking the wet clothes from the tnfan
applied the usual methods for revivini
a drowning person.

HORSE KILLED BY BOLT
o. Mallet Loses His Horse
Kept in the r. Work
man Pasture.

\ valuable horse belonging to Mr..
0. Mallett of this city was struck by
lightning and instantly killed while
standing in the pasture on the farm of
Mr.. r. Workman, at Liberty, III.
The horse was with several others
when the storm came up last Saturday.
The bolt of lightning singled out Mr..
Mallett's horse and death was instan-
taneous.
The other horses were not injured.
Mr.. Malletts horse was insured and it
is believed that he will be able to re-
cover from the insurance company.
Mr. Workman notified Mr.. MaIiett
that his horse had been killed and the
news was received with considerable
regret as the animal was pet and has
been in the family for a number OF
years.

ALL DEPENDS
ON WEATHER
Exhibits This Year Are
Finest Ever Known in
History of the Big
Fair.
lSnecial to The TIMEsl

Crown Point, Ind, Aug. 19.-With
favorable weather. the 1908 Golden
Jubilee Fair will without the least
question of a doubt pass into history
as one of the largest and best fairs
ever given by the association, and will
rank second to none to any attraction
that ever took place in northwestern
Indiana.
First Day Broke Records.
Tuesday. the first day of the fair,
broke all records as to crowds and
Crown Point hostelries and private
boarding houses are being taxed to
their utmost to accommodate the i'm
mense throng that is clamoring for
concessions and privileges at the fair.
Many of the visitors who haven't en-
gagged rooms previously are being
turned away and the question of ac-
commodating the big throng with
sleeping quarters during the rest of the
week is a problem that the hotels are
contending with at present.
Outlook Is Fine.
Never before in the history of the
association has the business been as
good at the fair grounds as was ex-

DID He INTEND THEFT?
Joseph Roma Found in
Maginot Barn and Acts
Very Suspiciously.

officer Schaadt in making his rounds
alst night, discovered Joseph Roma
sleeping under a wagon in Mike Magi-
not's barn. Roma was arrested and
Mr.. Maginot informed of the fact that
a lodger had been discovered in his
barn.
The officer is of the opinion that
Roma intended to steal Maginot's horse
and harness and Maginot testified that
the harness had been taken down from
its accustomed place from where he
had not removed it in three weeks
Roma was discovered in the barn at
about 1 o'clock in the morning and
the officer thinks that he planned to
take the horse along about daylight
and be out of the city before the
theft was discovered.

IS A VICTIM OF
STRANGE ASSAULT
Ed A. Nee of Hotel Carleton
Hit by Brick Yester-
day Evening.
UNABLE TO FIND ASSA|LANT
Proprietor of Hotel Amazed at Vicious
Attack Made On Him
Yesterday.
Who struck Ed A. Nee?

Who struck Ed A. Nee?
This is no relation to the Billy Pat
terson query.
A mysterious assault in which Mr..
Nee figured as the victim, took place
in Chicago about o'clock last night as
train or Hammond.
Just as the Hammond man had
reached the center of the alley going
down Ven Buren,. he was struck and
knocked down by a brick. which fell
to the pavement at his left
Saw Negro Making Escape.
Mr. Nee turned around and saw a
negro fleeing as fast as his legs could
carry him. down the alley and then
shoot off behind the building.
Passersby came to Mr.. Mee's assist
ance and half helped and half carried
him to the LaSalle street station where
he took the evening train home
He was met at the station by an
automobile and taken to the Hotel
Carleton where he required medical at
attention
Injuries Are Very Painful.
MI Mee5 injuries are giving his
friends some concern. The brick struck
him in the calf of the leg and fell on
his foot If it had struck him in the
head on body it might have killed him
He is at a loss to understand the
cause of the assault unless it was a
case of attempted hold up but it seems
that it would have been too daring a
deed to attempt in daylight. The Chi
cago police arrested a man shortly after
midnight at the point where tbs as
sault on Mr.. Nee occurred and it may
have been the same man
