OF FORMER
LOCAL DENTIST MISSING
Mrs. o. A. Chappell Missing
from Her Home in Elgin
Since October /.
HUSBAND REMAINS RETICENT
o. A. Chappell Is Brother of DR.. E.
A. Chappell, Who Formerly
Practiced Here.

Hammond people will remember quite
well Dr. E. A. Chappell of Elgin, ILL.,,
who practiced dentistry here several
years ago for a period of over year.
One of the most remarkable mys-
teries that recent years have known
has developed in Blgin. On October 1
Mrs. o. A. Chappell, wife of a wealthy
dentist and wealthy in her own right,
disappeared. Her husband is brother
of the former Hammond man. Elgin
knows of no reason for her to disap-
pear voluntarily. Her character and
position in society were such as to place
her absolutely above gossip or suspi-
cion.
Trouble Year Ago.
A year ago there was trouble be-
tween her and her husband, but that
was settled amicably. Then came a
mysterious making of wills and deed
ing over of property by the doctor and
his wife. That was shortly after DR.
and Mrs. Chappell boarded a train for
Chicago on the morning of October 1
The man returned alone later in the
day. The woman has not been heard
from since.
Is she confined in Sanitariun
against her will? Has she gone to
South Dakota to get a divorce? Has
she been hurt or lost? How, where
why did she vanish?
Before she left home in October Mrs
Chappell told some of her friends thai
on last New Years day DR.. Chapel
called her into his office and bluntly
announced that "he didn't love her any
more, hadn't loved her for long time
past and was going TO leave her."
Son Effects Reconciliation.
Mrs Chappell left home and took W
H Potter, in Elgin. The elder son, Ora
Mann Chappell, coming home from the
University of Pennsylvania in June
| effected a reconciliation between hi
parents.
Al fese months later saaaes the unfer
tunate automobile accident in whicl
| the machine that Mrs. Chappell wa.
driving killed Mrs. Marietta Roe, moth
| er of Assistant States Attorney Roe, o
| Chicago. Mrs. Chappell was exonerate'
| from any blame, but she was left II
| a highly wrought condition and wen
to Eau Claire, Wis, to recuperate
When she returned she instituted
suit for separate maintenance agains
| her husband. This was as suddenl.
| Chappell left home with her husband
From that time no word from the miss
ing woman has been received.

Chief of Police Lawler
Meets Yeggmen.

seemingly In the hands of the safe
cracker, the hfghwayman, rObber and
yeEgemen. The climax to the whole
situation came last Saturday evening
when the cftyss chief of police, John
LarIer, became the victim of three
IoIdup men, In n desperate hand to
hand fight with the trio he saved the
vaIuables that he carried his per-
son but suffered n number of external
injuries. The three fellows who made
the attack escaped, having been headed
toward Chicago when last seen by the
chief and the posse that he organized
In hurry.
Chief Lawler returned from Crown
Point last Saturday night. He was
in plain clothes and upon entering the
house took off his coat and laid his
gun on the table. His two children
being sick. Mrs. Lawler sent him to
a drugstore to procure medicines and
in going theer in hurry he left his
gun at home. 1t was while he was on
his way home when he saw three men
coming toward him. Two of them
were tall and the other short. They
were well dressed, wearing long coats
and derby hats. When they were about
TO pass each other the shortest man
stepped forward and poked gun un-
der the chiefs nose ThAechief knocked
the gun from the fellows hand in
stead of obeying his commands, and
1t was then that the other two began
hammering away at the chief, hitting
him with billy and Kicking him.
Fight For Several Minutes.
The tussle among the four men last
eS for several minutes in which time
the Whiting man had the satisfaction
of placing a sumner on the face of one
of the fellows. Finally the three broke
away and headed towards Roberts
dale.

the ground and not until they wer.
gone did he notice that he did not ge
his own.

Ing to the saloon of Otto Bauer a

in TO telephone to the station and a1st
to ask for gun. BY the time he cam,

The holdup of last Saturday nigh
was the third in the week.

PAID IN FULL" IS
SPLENDID ATTRACTION
Absorbing Drama Greeted
BY an Enthusiastic
Audience.
STORY OF THE PLAYS PLOT
Towle Opera House Management De.
serves Commendation for
It's Efforts.

1t is the consensus OF opinion of
the many theater-govers who saw
"Paid in Full" at Towle's opera House
last evening that 1t Is the best thing
that has come to Hammond this sea-
son. This fine attraction was greeted
by a well filled house and to say that
the audience was an apprecfative one
is expressing 1T mildly.
Paid in Full" is a most absorbing
drama. There was no one billed as a
star in the cast, but the players were
all such finished artists that the dra-
ma was most realistic
Story of the Drama.
The play had to with a young man
who was earning only a moderate sal
ary and who did not seem to be able
to get any farther along on account
of his unfortunate disosition and a
tendency to criticise his emloyer.
He also had decided socialistic ten
denotes and, in fact, his contempt for
vested rights was so great that he
thought he had a perfect right to help
himself to his employers money.
The upshot of it all was that the de-
lection of his crime was but a matter
arrest by his employer. He was saved
from this disgrace by his wife after
he had tried to barter her for his free
dom.
The play was intensely interesting
all of the way through and held the
attention of the audience from star
to finish. This evening the great at
traction of the year will be Bertha Ka-
Itch in Cora"
One of the Very Best.
This is one of the best Independent
attractions on the American stage to
day and it is expected that it will b.
great magnet to theater-goers from
all parts of the Calumet region.
The prices for seats are very Low
considering the high grade of the at
traction and it is safe to say that th'
rearle Of Hammond will show their ap
probation of Manager Nye's efforts t
bring a high grade attraction to thi
city on a week night by their patron
age.

THEY CAN'T FIND
BEHEADEO NAN
Investigation Develops Fact That
Elias Ignatz Needs Parlor in the
Dippy Factory for Police Get at
the Bottom of the Strange Things
He Saw.

1t develops that the wild and
weird tale which was told by Elias
Ignatz of the Standard steel Car dis
trict last Saturday was the result of
seeing something and imagining the
rest due to an abnormal mental condi-
tien superinduced by the excess of
alcoholic beverages.
1t appears TINT Ignatz, who was
still rather unseaworthy as a result
of holdover jag, went to the door
of clubhouse and peering within
saw the head of a man lying In the
floor.
Thought Head Was Loose.
Ignatz was so frightened that he
fed from the place ana took it for
granted that the head was de-
tachcd from the body HIS disordered
brain had something to do with the
story he told and later on he was tell
ing the terrible tale of how he had
found detached head in an out
house.
So convinced was he that there had
been foul murder. and that he might
posribl5 be the MS
went to the office of Judge W w.
Mcmahon and told him that he wanted
to give him over of attorney to COL
lect his rents so that he would not
have to take the responsibility.
Reveals the True Facts.
A police investigation revealed the
true facts of the case. A poor So
journer who had loaded up too large
cargo of wet goods wandered into
the clubhouse and had fallen to the floor
where he lay in a stupor.
When Ignatz came to the door, all
he was able to see in the darkness
within was the head. He took it for
granted that there was not a body
attached to it and thereby hangs the
tale.
Ignatz is in the care of physicians,
who are doing their best to restore a
normal condition and no one seems to
know what has become of the man
who caused all of the trouble by
sleeping off a drunk in an outhouse.
