DRUNK CHASEs G|RLS|
James Gorney Accosts Girls
and is Run Out of Town
This Morning.

On the complaint of a woman who
lives on Plummer avenue and whose
two little girls allege that they were
chased by a man, James Gorney of
Detroit, Mich, was arrested and
brought to the police station
Gorney was found to be intoxica ted
and was booked as a drunk The
Plummer avenue woman was notified
that he was under arrest and was ask
ed to come to the city court at 9
o'clock this morning and prosecute him.
There seems to be some question as
to whether the girls We're really chased.
as they say they We're. or whether they
were just frightened by the queer ac-
tions of the man.
This morning the mother of the girls
failed to appear, and so Gorney was
told by Judge Mcmahon to get out of
town as quick as he could and never
come back, on the penalty of being ar
rested and incarcerated in the county
Jail.
Gorney claims that he had friends
in Kensington and he is going there
to see them. The little girls were at
the Michigan Central tracks on Hoh-
man street when they claim they were
accosted by Gorney

Was the wording on a neat invita-
tion that Mrs. Jordan has sent out to
score of her husbands friends last
week, and who responded last Saturday
evening at the Monon hotel
The guests were satisfied that the
judge had been surprised right and
enjoyed his honor "stewing" around,
unable to find his collar button and un-
able to find his .galluses" Nor was
his good wife accommodating enough to
help him out. She enjoyed his stew"
as much as any one did, until the Judge
helpless, sent the hotel clerk around the
corner to buy him a collar button and
pair of suspenders.
At nine o'clock he was dressed in

and joined the guests in the parIor
making many remarks about surprising
an old man.
The guests enjoyed it hugely and the
entertainment that the hostess had

Chicago Reader Entertains
Miss Mayfa Haines, a Chicago reader
who has become well known in Ham
mond, owing to the many readings that
she has given here, gave several read

In his words of acceptance that he
turned the surprise of the evening on
his guests.
In few words he told them that
when the invitations had been sent out
unbeknownst to him that Uncle Sam
with rude unkindness had sent them
back for lack of sufficient postage, and
that upon their return they fell in his
hands. Without any one else of the
family knowing about it he placed ad-
ditional postage on each envelope and
sent them out gain without the hostess
and those who were in the conspiracy

CASE IS A
VERY SAD ONE
Broods Over Death of Her Daughter
and Fate Of Her Husband Until
She Becomes Temporarily De-
ranged and Ends Her Life-Son
Finds Body.
Especial to TiDes.)

Crown Poin, Aug. 10.-Death and
death In terrible shape, came TO the
Kemp home in this city on Saturday
night, for the fourth time DIN the past
few years and seldom in the history of
the placid county seat have its kindly
people been so deeply moved rs they
were when they heard the shocking
news.
Boys Shocking Find.
When Elmer Kemp, son of Mrs. John
Kemp. widow living on West South
street went to his home late in the
afternoon. he found a singular quietude
about the house and instinctively
thought something was wrong. He
found the door of little chamber
4.iecirea and was afraid to open 1t. so he
alarmed the NJ Rudolphs', neighbors.
and Mr. Rudolph gent back with the
boy and found after he had broken
open the door. the mistress of the house
lying prone on her face on the floor
Finds Mother Dead
Beneath her head was bundle of
cotton from which an acrid odor came.
1t was chloroform. Mrs Kemp was
apparently lifeless and when physi-
clans were summoned they pronounced
life extince. Beside the body was a
bottle which had contained chloro-
form. Mrs. Kemp had removed the
label in order that the druggists name
who sold it to her, might not incrim-
mate him.
Make Other Attempt
1t is said that Mrs. Kemp had made
attempts to take her life in the same
way two weeks ago, but had been pre-
vented. That Mrs. Kemp had brooded
over her troubles until she became
temporarily deranged, is not doubted
by those acquainted with the recent
history of the family.
Last fall Mrs. Kemp's only daughter,
a young married woman OF 90 died
shortly giving birth to a baby boy, and
this almost drove her mother insane.
She has never been the same since A
few years ago, John Kemp, her hus-
band. was found dead in the road when
he had been returning from his work
Husbands Strange Death.
His demise was always a mystery.
1Aefore his death the couple lost a little
child and trouble seemed to harrass
them at every corner of the road.

Each Of the Two Has a Large Fol-
lowing and Is the Moving Spirit

Steel Town Promises To Be
County's Battle Ground.

How does Gary stand in politics? No
one seems to know. The city has never
been tested out in an election and
even If it had, the remarkable growth
of the town would continually change
the political aspect to such an extent
that the results could not be ascer-
tained to any degree of certainty. In
short it is extremely difficult to Judge
the voting strtngth of the city owing
to the fact that the foreign vote is an
unknown quantity.
Rural Districts Known.
In county politics. therefore. it is
expected that the real battle will be
centered in Gary As the remainder
of the cities and the rural communities
have been pretty well sized up. and the
recent elections have always proven
close, 1t might we'll be said that Gary
will be able to swing the balance of the
county. In this city have been formed
the most energetic political organiza-
tions of the region. Well known no.

country. who have located in Gary are
buckling down to the local situation.
and sparing no time or energy to carry

Old Timers Busy.
Through these old timers every phase
of the game is being infused into the
party leaders. Each one has brought
with him a new idea, distinctly diff
ferent method for the conduct of the
campaign, which after having been
chystalized through their perusal in the
numerous club meetings, will give the
rest of the county something to think
about in the matter OF effective po-
litical tactics.
An Instance.
For instance: Gary has had for a
number OF months, the most compre-
hensive system of political organiza-
tions in this part of the state. And it
may well be called a system The cen
