LAD IS SAVED
FROM DEATH
Officer Rank of South Chi
cago Does a Mighty Good
Turn For Boy.

Thomas Krumbecker, a 16-year-old
lad, living at Youngstown, Ohio, was
saved from sure death yesterday even
ing when officer ]. F. Rank took him
from the roof of a coach on the Lake
Shore flyer at South Chicago. The boy
was attempting to beat his way in this
roolnardy manner from Chicago to New
York. He was in st. Paul on Thursday
and had come to Chicago as a blind
passenger on a train. He made his way
to the Lake Shore yards and waited
for the 1S-hour limited to pull out.
He escaped in the yards without being
detected by the yard officials and as the
jumped from a box car onto the roof
Of the limited, which had already gain
ed speed. 1t was a daring feat and
might have cost the boy his life. For
tunately. however. he managed to cling
onto the fiat roof without Interference
from the train crew.
His trip would not have been inter
fered with by anybody had the train
not come to short stop in South Chi
cago. There officer Rank spied the
strange passenger and ordered him off.
He was taken to the police station,
where he told his story again. He
was hailed before Judge Lantry this
morning. who, after hearing his story
turned him over to the Juvenile officer.

the police have resolved to have him

Twenty-four hours of steady down

county into a normal condition again
This only for the comfort of the peo-
pie. AS far as the crops. especially the
corn, are concerned, they have suffered
irreparable loss and parching fields are
now lying idle awaiting the plow to
be put in shape for the fall blowing

only his blowing, but also the fall work

Milk has fallen off both in quantity
and quality. until the stringency is felt
in the cities, where an increase In

The reports that are coming in from
the various elevators over the country
are gloomy:
c. e. Nicholas, Lowell Elevator
A rain at this time would not be Of
any benefit to the fall crops. The
corn crop is not half what it should be,
and farmers are compelled to feed their
cattle. The surrounding country does
not ever produce butter enough to sup
ply the town, and much of it is being
sent in from Illinois towns.
Emil Schroeder. Crown Point EIevn-
tor.-Corn is selling here at 50 cents a
bushel and even at that price little is
coming. l venture to say that the crop
has been little over third what it
should have been. The farmers are
practically hauling no grain and are
compelled to feed their mile hcows
Taking it all in all, this. has not been a
very good year.
Joseph GerIach. ST. John Elevator
Work in the fields here is practically
at standstill Owing to the drouth
the farmers can neither pillow nor tile
their fields as they would like to do.
None of the corn crops have come up to
expectation, much of it having been
parched in the milk. There is nothing
in the fields anymore to be saved, and a
good rain would only relieve the hu-
Nudity from which everybody is suffer

Worse Than 1907.

serious, according to statistics,sas some
of its. predecessors have been, that of
1907. for example. when July. August
and September each had ABOUT an ,nch
of rain.
And there are no indications of condi-
tions becoming better. The whole coun-
try is suffering in the same manner as

storms have ragged along the gulf

Days have been slightly cloudy and that

One of the biggest real estate deals
that has been reported in Gary for some
time is that IN which Harry King e.
company disposed of 100 feet of prom
erty on Broadway, near Twelfth street
to DR.. Fred J. Harrison. Charles Vast
and Harry V. Atkins of Steubenyille
for s16O0$. The syndicate is purchas

cause of the fact that they have un
limited capital behind them that thew

plans, however. up to this time have
not yet been divulged.
This sale by Harry King, tends to
show the livening up Of the market
which has been on the steady advance
for some weeks past. Real estate deal
ers are universal in their belief that
conditions are now rapidly improving
in this city. During the past few
weeks more COCA substantial sales

since the first of the year. The class
OF buyers is also greatly improved
over the previous unstable spectators.

Says Garris Was in Woman's. Room
and Neighbors Tell of
Reveltries.

Indiana Harbor. Ind. Sept 1S.-The
story told, TIMES reporter of the al
legged elopement of Mr.. H. C. Garris. a
prominent millman. and Mrs. Alice
Walters. of this city, appears to have
been actuated by a desire on the part
of Mrs. Garris to avenge her fancied
grievances. Mrs. Walters. who regrets
the woman's tale. Wednesday evening,
is still in Indiana Harbor. Garris. the
man in the case. has left the city, and
Mrs. Garris left last evening for her
home IN Appolo, Pa.
My relations to Mr.. 'Garris,' ex-
planned Mrs. Walters yesterday, were
merely those of, a friend of the family.
I have known Mrs. Garris and her hus-
band for many years. I nursed Mrs
Garris and her husband both during
serious illnesses and have never had
any improper relations with him."
The attitude of the woman was ex-
planned by Mrs. Walters she had
many quarrels with her husband and
naturally tried to bring me into them
Failing In this. she decided to wind up
her story with a lot of miserable lies
which have no foundation. Mrs Wal

Mrs. Walters will also defend any
charges brought against her by Nor
tician Teal charging her with not pay
ing the funeral expenses of young
Ansley McCracken, who died several
months ago. He was my brother in
law" Mrs. Walters explained" and Mrs.
Garris lies when she declares that he
was my fancee."
There are some discrepancies be-
tween the stories told by Mrs. Walters
and the police officer who accompanied
Mrs. Garris to the home of Mrs. Wal
tiers. She declares that she was in
the parlor at the time the police Of
f1cer arrived. The policeman. however.
declares that he entered the house and
was directed by a man at the door,
whose name is supposed to be Boone
to the bedroom of Garris' frmer nurse.
Il raped at the door and a woman's
voice answered it, asking who / was"
saidt he policeman yesterday. TT was
fully two or three minutes before the
door was opened and Garris appeared
in the. doorway, deshabolle.
Neighbors in the Garris home tell
tales of revelry at the Garris apart
ments. On several of these occasions
Mrs. Walters was brought to the Gar
ris residence where her appearance
frequently aroused the ire of the wife.
Following one of these midnight rev.
elries, Mrs. Garris explained. to a
neighbor that "her husband had told
her that he preferred the Walters
woman and did not care if his wife did
object to her company"

PLAN MONSTER MEET
Crown Point Republicans
Will Greet Watson With
Open Arms.

Crown Point, Ind, Sept. 19.-(Spe-
cial.)-Crown Point and Center town
ship republicans are jubilant over the
fact that it was learned yesterday, be-
yond question of a doubt. that James
Watson, Indiana,s next governor, will
speak here on Oct II, and that the
event will be celebrated in a fitting

responsible for the contamination of
one of the biggest republican rallies

EVIDENCE BROUGHT
To LIGHT IN CASE
Women Will Fight Charges
Preferred BY DR.. e.
w. Ostrowski.
In LANTRYS COURT TODAY
Anonymous Letters May Figure in
Substituting Testimony
Is Expected.
IN LANTRYS COURT TODAY

There seems to be an entirely new
version to the alleged menacing of DR..
E. w. Ostrowski by coterie of wo-
men living in South Chicago, for whom
he had warrants sworn out on charges
of disorderly conduct in his Offices,
$500 Commercial avenue. Sept. 10.
1t appears that L. Rydezewska, the
woman in the case, has been in the
employ of DR.. Ostrowskf for the past
nine years. or ever since she came from
Europe. and at that time she was Is
years old. Besides being his house
keeper, she also conducted a dress
making parlor, so she asserted, and
now has civil suit pending to re-
cover money which she claims was
loaned to him and for wages due her.
Cause of Trouble.
The cause of the present trouble, 1t
is said, was due to the attempt of
friends and relatives of Miss Rydzew-
ska to induce her to cease her rela-
tionship with the doctor, and in view
of this undertaking the latter is said
to have written slanderous communi-
cations to a number of the women OF
the neighborhood.
Among those who received letters
were: Mrs. Obarski, 1911 Commercial
avenue; Mrs. Follmer, 1915 Commercial
avenue. and Miss Rydzewska, 1907
Commercial avenue. In every instance
the communications were unsigned. but
the recipients expressed themselves
that the epistles conceded with his
numerous verbal utterances.
The trial of the women. who were
arrested on a disorderly charge. will
come up for hearing today before Judge
Lantry of the South Chicago police
court, and the defendants claim that
some startling testimony will lead to
further prosecution of the case
Attorney Peden, 2S4 Ninety first
street, is representing the defendants.

Northern Chile, which is so largely

The rainless Atacama desert is the
