The WEAKER SEX WINS
Mrs. John Duca Throws
John China to Floor to
Collect Bill.

Indiana Harbor Ind. Sept. 19.-After
beating a customer with her fists and
kicking him several times with her
feet, as he lay battered and bruised
upon the floor of her grocery store, Mrs.
John Duca walked into Judge G. E.
Reiland's court( pleaded guilty to an
unified charge of assault and battery
and paid fine of 81 and costs.
The victim of her rage was John
Chirca, who owed her $26 for groceries
and meats. John attempted to increase
the amount of his Indebtedness and up
on being refused further credit, became
indignant. Mrs. Duca declares that he
then said he would not pay what he
owed her. The climax was interesting,
especially for the PROSTATE Chirca,
who cried to several of his fellow coun-
tryment for assistance.
They laughed at his plight, however,
and refused to go to his aid. Mrs.
Duea's plea Of not guilty was unlocked
for by the court officials. They declare
that it is the first time an assailant has
entered a plea before the case was
fled.

generally is wholesome. During the

SAY SERVICE IS POOR.
Citizens of East Chicago and
Indiana Harbor Complain
of Electric Lighting.
Especial to The Times.)

East Chicago. Ind, Sept. 19.-Citizens
of East Chicago and Indiana Harbor,
as well as the business men, complain
of the poor service being given by the
loci electric light company Hardly
night passes that the lights are not
shut off for from ten minutes TO half an
hour, due, propably to some breakage in
the system. Business men are especial
~ invective in their remarks on the
subject, and declare that unless the de-
fects are remedied Immediately, they
will refuse to pay bills for electric light
service without a reasonable reduction.
Proprietors of electric theaters are
especially interested, as the poor SER
vice means a loss to them of from SIS
to $50 daily The council will be asked,
at its next meeting, to call the delfn-
quent light corporation to terms. The
service is really a disgrace to a pro-
gressive city like East Chicago and
should be remedied without delay, that
the busienss men may remain allied
with the citys interests.
