'WAMPUS' FIGHTS COON
Rich Food Grows in Indiana
Harbor for Nature
Takers.
Especial to THE T1MEs)

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Aug. 26.-Na-
ture takers, take notice. Nathan Levy,
Indiana Harbor's menagerie man, has
decided that wampus, whatever that
may be, cannot abide congenially with
a coon" And thereby hangs a tale.
Some days ago William Finney, tow
erman employed by the Lake Shore
railroad was fishing in the vicinity of
Millers and happened across a real, live
and active ''wampus." THE TIMES cor
respondent is informed that wan
pus" is an animal brown in color, with
a large brown stripe running down its
back. 1t is also very ferocious when
the spirit so moves.
Gives 1t To Levy.
Finney had no use for a wampus
but happened to think of his friend
Levy, who is very fond of animals,
having a menagerie of cats, dogs, rats,
mice and several other specimens.
Levy accepted the present, smiled
broadly and compensated Finney for It.
He then decided to place the animal in
the cellar until he could arrange some
means of exhibiting it. The only other
occupant of the cellar was the afore-
said "coon," and from the time of
the advent of the wampus, Mr.. Coon
showed a distinct animosity.
After three days of snarling, growl-
ing and swapping, Mr.. Coon decided
to bring the matter to an immediate
issue and attacked the wampus. The
latter is something of a fighter and
Immediately took umbrage, with the
result that the coon was practically
torn to pieces only a small bunch OF
animated fur being left as a monument
to once active pet. The wampus is
also badly damaged, and Levy declares
that his menagerie is destroyed and
that never more will he look with glee
upon the soft, glossy backs of the
spunky little coon and the doughty
wampus. They are for sale.

GOODMAN IS IN GOOD SHAPE,

Danny Goodman claims that he is
in better shape for his bout with Ad
Wolgast, which takes place at Racine

Gus contest. The affair is set for eight
rounds, and is likely to attract a big
crowd as quite a delegation from Chi
cago is going up to the scene. Walter
Parker and Jimmy Clabby meet in the
semi-final, going six rounds. Jack
Crispy and Billy Moorhead meet in the
preliminary. Trains leave for the scene
of battle tonight at 5 and $50. Dr.

BURNS OFFERS TO FIGHT
JOHNSON IN AUSTRALIA
With COIored Man Thousands of Miles
OFF Tommy Takes a Chance.

Sidney, Australia, Aug 25-Tommy
Burns has come out with an offer to
fight Jack Johnson here in Australia
here in Australia, and says he will
gladly accept if one of the big sporting
clubs will offer a purse which will
tempt Johnson to come to Australia for
the bout.
Burns has discovered that Johnson
is considered the better man here His
offer to fight Johnson is not taken any
too seriously with the colored man
thousands of miles away. 1t is figured
here that Burns is simply taking a
slight chance in that Johnson might
come.

Especial to THE TIMEs) j.

East Chicago, Ind, Aug. 26.-The po-
lice department of this city has also
to contend with a supposed infant bur
glar, probably a partner in crime with
the girl bandit of Whiting. For the
past two or three nights, reports have
been turned in to police headquarters
of various small burglaries. In near
ly every case the burglary has been
committed by entering a rear window
of the residence attacked While the
burgIaries are small, their manner of
preparation is unusual and the plumber
so small that Chief of Police Higgins
is at loss to understand the real mo-
tive.
Pantry Is Pilfered.
Frank Beck. 4247 Alexander street,
reported to the police yesterday that
a burglar had entered his pantry win
dow and stolen a quantity of bread
sugar and tea. After searching through
the pantry for some time, they found
a cup containing $500 in small change
This was also appropriated and the
burglars abandoned the house, evident
~ well satisfied with their spoils.
Window Is Tried.
Last night Alex Kisc, who lives about
a block away on Alexander street, re-
ported that he had been awakened by
some one trying to force window in
the rear of his home. Frightening the
burglar by his appearance on the
scene, but unable to make a capture
he examined all the windows and
found that one had been partly raised
by the wouId-be robber.
Rabbits Are Stolen.
Bert Lull. who resided on One Hun
bred and Fifty-first street, is a loser
to the extent of two pet rabbits and g
small express wagon. This burglary
occurred in the vicinity of others re-
ported to the police and leads the
officers to believe that the robberies
are the result of inexperienced thieves
They are unable, however, to fix the
blame on any one in particular, and
