VICTIM OF TEMPORARY
MENTAL ALTERATION
Mrs. Thomas H. Schrum Wanders
Away Fom Home With the Idea Of
Drowning Herself In Calumet
River But Ice Is Too Thick and
She Is Unsuccessful.

If the statements made by Mrs.
Thomas Schrun of Globe Station, three
miles southwest of here, to the Ham
mond police, are to be credited, all that
saved her from a suicides death in the
Little Calumet river was the fact that
1t is frozen, and all that prevented her
from suiciding in the Grand Calumet
river or in Lake Michigan was the in
tervention of police officer.
Mrs. Schrum, who was formerly Miss
Emma Dahlman, was met at the cor
ners of State and Holman last evening
about a quarter to by officer Miller,
who noticed that she was dressed In a
light blue wrapper, wore a fascinator
over her head and seemed to be suffer-
ing with the cold.
Said She Had Tried 1T.
He questioned her and was surprised
to learn that she had already tried to
commit suicide in the Little Calumet
river, but did not do so for.-the reason
that the river was frozen and she could
not get into the water.
She then went to Hammond where
| she told the officer that she was going
to commit suicide in either the Grand
| Calumet river or in Lake Michigan.
/ When the officer insisted that she ac-
company him to the police station she
cried bitterly and pleaded with him not
/ TO take her there.
1t is thought that Mr.. Schrum is the
victim of temporary fit of insanity
| to which she is occasionally subject
| 1t was only last winter that she con-
ceived the idea that the hired man
working for her husband was infatu-
ated with her and tried to run away
| with him.
She went to hotel in Indiana Har-
Dor where she registered as Mrs. How
| ard, and made arrangements for the
hired man to come and see her. Her
husband learned of her whereabout
and went over to the hotel to get her
Husband Comes For Her.
She was very sorry that she had left
her home when her husband got oppor-
tunity to talk to her and proved a duti-
full wife until this recent spell came
on.
The police notified her husband al
Globe Station and he came to this city
| with horse and wagon and took hel
back home with him. He regards i
fortunate that the Little Calumet rive
happened to be frozen over and that sh'
did not get as far as the river here, fol
he verify believes that she would hav,
suicided in her present state of mind.

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
PERVADES THE SCHOOLS
Tots VIII Buy Each other Christmas
Presents This Year With
1eacher's Sanction.

Pupils of the lower grades of the
Central school have agreed to buy each
other Christmas presents this year.
The teachers of the lower grades put
the Christmas spirit into the minds of
the children this morning and sug
gested that they buy each other Christ
mas presents.
The method used was to have each
one write his or her name on piece of
paper. Then the teacher took up the
slips and passes them around, giving
each pupil one slip. The children are
to buy present for the one whose
name is on the slip they received.

WANTS ALL COURTS
LOCATED IN ONE CITY
Says That Hammond is Sore Spot and
Believes in Relief Where the Sore
Sport is, But Thinks Gary is Too
Young for Court at the Present
Time.
Especial to THE TIMES, ,

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Dec. 9.-Judge
t. Nj. G. Hembrof of Indiana Harbor
is especially well qualified to speak for
the city from which he halls on the
question of the relief of the cong estion
of the courts i'm Lake county.
Judge Hembroff was formerly city
judge in Hammond. He moved to In
diana HarbOr where he has been prac-
tieing law for a number of years, and
his long residence in Lake county where
he has assisted in the building up of its
courts, makes him especially convers-
ant with it's needs.
All In One Place.
In interview for THE TIMES, Judge
Hembroff said: IF I had my way about
it l would have all of the courts of the
county concentrated in one place. If
such a thing is possible of accomplish
ment in the. future, 1 will do all in my
power to bring about such an ideal con-
dition of affairs.
The iayman does not realize the diff
ficulties which confront the lawyer
with a large practice, who is compelled
to. look after cases in several courts
of record. 1t would be a physical i'm
possibility for lawyer to handle a
large practice in three courts. and the
cost of litigation would be greatly in
creased If another court was estab-
lished.
7 would be opposed to the estab-
| lishment of another superior court in
Indiana Harbor even if the city of
East Chicago with its $1,000 inhabitants
and its rapidly growing population was
presumptious enough to ask for one.

EDWARD SCHLECKER
DOES CARVING ACT
Brother of Mike sheedy of Gary Has
Alteration on Sunday and in Order
to Punish is Assailant Mike Decides
to Avenge Relations. Defeat on
That Day.
Especial to THE TrMEs.)

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Dec o. - The
Hnrbor hotel, at the corner of Michigan
and Block avenues, was the scene of n
furious knife battle last night, when
Edward Schleiker attempted to carve
several grOtesque designs on the per-
son of Mike Sheedy, Gary boiler
maker and registrant at the hotel. The
fight occurred about 1880 O'Clock. in the
bar room at the hotel, and was evident
ly precipftated by Sheedy. The latter
is now In St. Margaret's hospital, Ham,
mond, recovering from the loss of con-
siderable blood from eight deep gashes
in his face and forehead, two large
veins being cut by the slashes of the
bartender's weapon.
Had An Alteration Sunday.
According to the story told to the
police last night by witnesses of the
affair, Schleiker had an alteration last
Sunday afternoon with a brother of
Mike Sheedy. AS result, both men
were arrested and released under heavy
bonds the. trial still pending before
Judge G. 2. ReiIand and set for trial on
next Friday morning A
In the affair of Sunday, SehIeiker
proved to be the better fighter. and
Mike Sheedy decided to avenge his
bAothers defeat. Entering the bar
room last evening, he said to have ac-
costed Schleiker with vile remark.
which soon led to other and more heated
arguments. Suddenly, when no one ex-
pected such an attack, Sheedy aimed a
vicious blow at the bartenders face.
Schieiker took one glance at the burly
form of his assailant and grasped his
knife firmly about the handle. He then
advanced few steps and began slash
ing right and left.
Couldn't Avoid Attack.
Sheedy was unable to avoid the at
tack, but fought valiantly until over
powered. and were it not for the inter-
ference of bystanders, the injuries in
ficted might have been much more SER
ious. DR. Hughes was called and after
attending to Sheedy's wounds, ordered
his removal to ST. Margaret's hospital
An enumeration of his wounds includes
eight gashes about the face. three scalr
wounds, several small cuts about his
hands, and a split nose. The latter or
gan was made the recipient of down
ward slash of Schleikers weapon anC
was laid open almost an inch. Schleik-
er himself received few small scratch
es on his hands, and was on his way
to a physicians office when arrested by
the local police. He was refused bal
last evening, and will be held awaiting
the outcome of his attack on Sheedy.

TO theSreport of the country treasurer
for the month OF March there was
paid off during that month $4,000
more of the outstanding bonds. so
that the entire bonded indebtedness

all of the bonds of 1887 remaining
have been paid of and out of sixty
eight bonds issued in 1889 bearing
seven per cent interest there remains
but sixteen more TO be paid This
amount can easily be redeemed next
year, and it is more than probable
that one or two more can be re-
deemed this year, as there is consid-

BIS8EE BASEBALL
THE COMING SEASON
A Fan Offers Some Suggest
ions For the Benefit of
the Sport,

The following suggestions and com
ments anent the baseball outlook in
bssbee for the coming season were
communicated to the Review last
night:
Recently there have been several
articles published In your paper rela-
tive to a four or five team league in
tais section. Bisbee TO be one OF the
teams. As a Tan who has been q
pretty close observer of baseball and
baseball players. / would like to sug.
gest to the lovers of our national
game in Bisbee that something be
done towards organizing q team to
represent us. Under the present
conditions Bisbee will not have
"iook-in" with any of the other teams
proposed, viz: Cananea, FL Paso, No
renci or Douglas.
The burden of running the Bisbee
team has for some time fallen On
Tommy Blair's shoulders. He has
done remarkably well with the ma,
terial he has had to work on and de-
serves q vote of thanks for almost all
OF the games Bisbee has had during

with Mr.. Blair, however, when he
says there is material in town for

Lee Blair is a good player, especial

Boswell and O'Malley are both nat

has been in the game long enough for
the fine points, they viii both develop

around here. They are both fast on
their feet, have unusually good whips,
and are good hitters.
Chittenden isn't star first base
man by any means, but nearly al

Willie Forbes is a good out-felder,
but he can't bat.
Fred Parsons pitched several in
different games last year, and made
one or two scratch hits during the
whole season.
Jack Kelly is another pretty fair
player, who when he comes to bat,
hits them to the catcher.

get good team and give them jobs
where they can get of two or three
afternoons a week for practice. Also
have a manager who knows a oah
player when he sees one. and also
see to it that he practices.
Get a good base bah team, fix up
a park where good bah can be played
and as the other towns have good
teams, we will have some good
games, which win mean a large at
