BOTH SIDES DEADLOCK
Gary Transfers Strike
Farther From Settle
ment Than Ever.

The difficulty between the Team
Owners Association in Gary and the
teamsters, now seems to be further
from being. settled than ever before.
A deadlock has been reached and
neither side will recede a single step.
The teamsters are demanding $3.50
for all work except grading and SEA
for grading. The team owners claim
they. will not pay more than 5000 and
there seems to be no chance for a com
promise.
The team owners say they can get
all of the men they want for their
board and they think they are very lib
eral when they offer to pay their men
5000.
T. J. Gormally of the team owners
said that he expected no settlement.
He said he would not make single
concession and that he did not believe
the teamsters would concede.
1t begins to look as though there
would be a prolonged trouble between
the two organizations and it is hard to
tell just what the effect will be on the
work of building the new city and the
of the mill.

LITTLE BIT" TELLS
STORY ON STAND
Sensational Trial of Gary
Negress in Hammond
Superior Court.
JUDGE WITHOLDS JUDGEMENT
Sam Skunk Is Arrested at Close of
Trial on a Criminal
Charge.
JUDGE WITHOLDS JUDGEMENT

Sooty Nellie Williams, or Little
Bit" as she is better known, the 10
year old Gary negress, told her story
yesterday on the witness stand in the
Lake superior court as to why and
how she stuck stiletto into the body
of Sam Skunk, her employer. Few
stories have been told in more dra-
matte way in the local courtroom. She
told it from beginning to end, and
according to Mr.. Boone added to it
incidents that did not really take place
Leaving the witness stand she re-
turned to her attorneys and after go
ing over her face several times with
chamois skin, she broke down and
wept.
A few feet away sat Sam Skunk,
state witness, her employer, his face
changing according to her story; some
times over-spread with a silly smile
t other times blank like that of
weak mind. Once he stepped over to
Prosecutor D. E. Boone to whisper in
his ear. Filled with disgust at being
in so close proximity with a white
man who lived with a negress. Prose-
cutor Boone pushed him aside. saving
far above a whisper, Get away from
me and stop your blowing in my ear"
Skunk shuffled off to his seat, cha
grined and shame faced.
At the close of the arguments of
the attorneys, Judge Reiter said that
he would defer judgment until next
Monday. He was still speaking when
Deputy Sheriff frost slipped over to
Skunk and read a warrant to him. ar
resting him on the charge of having
carried concealed weapons. The blank
brain of Skunk could hardly grasp the
situation, but it finally dawned upon
him that he would have to spend his
time in Jail until his trial comes I'M
unless he can furnish $500 bond. He
is in jail now awaiting his trial. A
few doors away in another cell is
Little Bit awaiting judgment.
A large number of Garyites had come
to Hammond yesterday to watch the
outcome of the case.
Nellie Williams was put on the stand
about o'clock. She started right in
with her story, telling how she met
Skunk last Christmas. and went to
the end, which told of how one morn
ing in February he struck her over
the eye and under her heart and how
she, seeing him reach for a gun. drew
her bone-handled stiletto from under
Meath her apron and ran it into his
side. She repeated it, replete with all
the curses and obscene language which
only, class of people of the Skunk
type uses, and at the sensational points
in her story rose in the witness chair
and acted out his or her actions. and
though negres she intuitively brought
and acted out his or her actions.
He threatened to kill me and
ali thought it was jes, as fair foh me
as fob him." she said, finishing her
story.

{. CHICAGO VISITED
BY 'MEANEST MAN.
Well Dressed Stranger
Gathers Up Money of
Fit Victim.
POLICE LOOK FOR HIM IN VAIN
Epileptic Siezed at Veaco's Drug
Store; Coin Scatters and
Hyena Grabs It.

The meanest man that ever visited
East Chicago was there yesterday His
name is not known but he looked like
a travelling man and acted like hyena
Frank Hoffman, carpenter living in
East Chicago, was walking along Chi
cago avenue when suddenly, as he
reached Veaco's drug store, which is at
the corner of Forsyth and Chicago
avenues, he was seen to stagger and
fall, his body twitching convulsively
In an epileptic fit. AS he fell, his
hands which he had been carrying in
his trousers pockets were withdrawn,
and his money, together with a jack
knife and some keys ratified out onto
the sidewalk. A crowd quickly gath
cred and bystander suggested that
somebody gather up the change and
other personals belongings of the man.
The money that lay scattered about
amounted apparently to about three
dollars in halves, quarters, nickles and
dimes.
A well dressed man who had been
waiting for an Indiana Harbor car
Joined the throng and let lose of his
travellers case long enough to gather
up the coins. AS he picked up the last
piece along came his car and, pocket
Ing the money he stepped aboard and
was gone before anybody had time to
interfere
The police Were notified and Chief
Higgins telephoned for a couple of Of
hcers to meet the car at Indiana Har-
Dor. The officers were on hand when
the car pulled in but the bird had flown.
He had left the car sonnauyhera oIo,r
the line and was not in evidence.

ATENA POWDER CO.
DENIES THE STORY
Lake County Will Not Lose
Big Manufacturing Plant
as Reported.
ALREADY HAS 1HEBES PLANT
Officials Say There Is No Ground for
Story of Removal Which
Is Circulated.

The story printed in several Lake
and Porter county papers to the effect
that the powder mills at Aetna are to
be abandoned and will be moved to
Thebes, Ill. is vigorously denied at
the general offices of the company.
According to an official who repre-
scented himself as being in a position
to speak for the management, there is
not the least likelihood that the Aetna
plant will be disturbed in the least.
This same official denied that the
company was building a plant a The
bes as it has one already located there.
This plant is not being enlarged or
repaired and there is positively no
foundation for the rumor.
The company will continue its ac-
tivities at Aetna just as it has in the
past and the idea of there being any
danger of an explosion which would
cause the peopleAin Gary or Miller any
trouble is ridiculed.
The plant at Aetna is owned by the
Dupont Powder company and was es-
tablished many years ago. The advan-
tage of the present location so far as
shipping facilities are concerned is all
that could be desired, and the company
will not move.
There is quite large number of
men employed in the powder mills and
although one of them is blown to atoms
every now and then, they seem to be
very well satisfied with their employ
ment and there has been quite a lit
tie settlement built up around the
plant.
The accidents that have happened.
however, at the mills are such that the
town is not very desirable one for
a residence district. The story In cir
culation:
The plant at Aetna was established
many years ago by the Dupont Powder
company, and now manufactures about
$4,000 pounds of powder a day, as well
as enormous quantities of dynamite.
nitro glycerine and gun cotton.
The residents of Gary and Miller and
other places in that vicinity threatened
condemnation proceedings if the com
pany didn't move, as they are afraid
that should an explosion occur 1t would
blow the towns OF Gary and Miller on
the map.

TROUBLES OF SMITH
Gary Mans Furniture Was
Dumped Into the Street
Yesterday.

Edward Garston Smith, who flashed
across the business horizon of Gary
with brilliance that was scintilIatfng
has now come to grief and his coup in
securing the renting of the Smith block
owned by w. e. Feuer of Cleveland, did
not amount to much after all.
Yesterday all of the furniture owned
by EDWARD Garston Smith, was dumped
into the street and large crowd
watched the eviction. Most of them
would have pitied the man had it not
been for the fact that he is so hard
to get along with that no one will
have anything to do with him.
But there is still more trouble in
store for this peculiar Gary character.
Today his lease will be sold at auction
and his occupation of the Smith build
ing will come to an end.
Yesterday while he was being evict-
ed, it is claimed his wife attempted
to interfere with the work of the con-
stable. They had some trouble and
when the constable went to Judge
Fitzgerald's court to report the mat
ter, he was followed by Smith.
In the court room Smith attacked the
constable and soon had him on the floor
choking him. Judge Fitzgerald and
some of the bystanders succeeded in
separating the two men. The constable
then followed Smith outside where he
attacked him and gave him a black
eye.
Judge Fitzgerald severely reprimand-
ed Smith for fighting, as this is the
third time he has become involved in
fight in the court room. Smith was
arrested twice last week. Once on the
charge of renting quarters and accept
ing the rent when he was not the lessee
and another time for drawing a check
for small sum when he did not have
any money in the bank.
