DIDN'T TOOT HIS HORN
"Irving Betz Ran Like a
Streak Of Lightning"
Says Arthur Stanton.

The Hammond automobilists have
good joke on Irving Betz. He is the
first man to have been Glencoized in
this city and he was arrested on two
charges. The first was exceeding the
speed limit and the second was the
charge of not footing his horn.
The complaining witness was Arthur
Stanton of 314 Truman avenue, who
claims that the Betz machine went past
him like a streak of tightening and
missed him by not more than an inch
OF course, stanton was outraged and
he swore out a warrant against Betz
which was served by Officer Shine.
Betz furnished bail and his hearing
was set for nine o'clock this morning.
Chief of Police Rimbach and Arthur
Stanton swore that Betz has been fire.
quentIy guilty of excessive speeding.
Judge Mcmahon informed Mr.. Betz of
the dangers of speeding and then fined
him s. and costs, amounting to S15.
He was also warned that a repetition
Of the offense would be punishable by
la larger fine.
The fine was paid and the young man
accompanied by his brother and several
friends were released.

HIS FRIENDS NOSE
Judge McMahan Tired of
Seeing j. Yves in Court,
Fines Him $50.
FIGHT ON CARNIVAL GROUND
Mike Young, Other Combatant, Fl
nally Gives Simmons the
Licking of His Life.

J. Wesley Simons. who has a police
record as a trouble maker, got into a
fght with Mike Young at the carnival
last evening and got the worst trim
ming he has had in many a day. In
addition to that he was this morning
fned $50 and costs for the offense by
Judge ". ". Mcmahon of the city
court.
1t is said that Young and Simons
have not been on the best of terms for
some time. Last night they were jolly
ing with each other when suddenly
Simons struck Young on the nose.
He then caught Young around the
legs and threw him to the ground. In
the scuff1e and the rough and tumble
fight which followed Young got the
best of Simons and gave him one of
the most severe beatings he has had
in a long time.
Has Bad Police Record.
The police then interfered and both
Simons and Young were taken to the
police station by officer Trinen. At
the station the bad record of Simons
as a trouble maker was taken into
consideration and he was put in Jail
for the want of a bond while Young
was released.
The trouble started in the neighbor-
hood of the Flying Dutchman and was
witnessed by large crowd of people
who were attending the carnival. The
arrests were made at $50 last evening
Heavy Fine Given.
In court this morning Simons was
arraigned before Judge W. w. Mona
hon and was fined $50 and costs. This
is one of the heaviest fines that have
ever been assessed in the local court
for an offense of the kind and in fin
ing the prisoner the Judge took into
consideration the fact that this is his
tw elfth appearance in court for offenses
of the kind merited an extraordinary
fine
The prisoner was sent to the county
jail where he will be compelled tc

WANTED BY POLICE
Hulda Steinbach Wanted at

But Makes Escape.
TWO WARRANTS OUT FOR HER

Cody Cashes the Check at

HuIda Steinbach's experience in jail
She is now fugitive from Justice.
Hulda is the I5-year-oId girl who is
known throughout Lake county by
reason of her waywardncss, and i'm
fractions of the law. She has added
forgery and theft to the numerous
charges brought against her.
Crafty Beyond Her Years
To show that the young girl is crafty
beyond her years, and that she is
capable Of taking the initiative in the
performance Of crime the following all
legations against her is all the evil
dence needed. Her brother, George
Steinbach. two years younger than she,
had in his possession on Saturday last
two checks amounting to SS.73 for
work performed at the new florist es-
tablishment and made out by the Mr..
Gunther, the manager.
The young girl in some unknown
manner came into possession of the two
checks, which We're indorsed on the
back by her brother George.

Her is where the girl showed her
foriness. Adding an "a" and dotting the
"e" which resembled an IT,, she easily
made the transformation of boys to a
girls name and presented check for pay
ment. 1t is said that the bank suspi-
cioned her and asked her to re-endorse
the check which she did to their satis-
faction. The forgery, however, did not
come to light until Monday when the
officers, who went to arrest the young
girl. found that she had skipped the
country and her whereabouts could not
be learned
No One Would Appear Against Her.
In the past it has been impossible to
get anyone to prefer charges against
the wayward young girl, and the of

Charles F. Coons. after languishing
in the city bastile for day, finally
gave up hope of his friends coming to
his rescue and was taken to the county

Mr.. Coons said this morning that he
no doubt if he had brought pressure
to bear on his friends that he could
have persuaded them to go on his bail
but he learned from the counsel for
the plaintiff that as soon as he would
be released another warrant would be
sworn out. charging him with another
crime for which he is alleged to be
amenable to the law
1t was also learned that the attor-
neys for the prosecution would make
each offense which had been charged
against Mr.. Coons a seperate cause of
action and it would be impossible for
his friends to bail him out on all of
these charges.
1t was learned this morning that
Attorney Conroy had already had an
affidavit made out against Coons.

1t is understood that the United
