wires waist, preparatory to going TO
church, when with a sharp report a
oullet crashed through the side Of the
mouse struck Mrs. Lucas on the side
OF the nose and fell to the floor.
For moment Mrs Lucas was badly
frightened, believing her nose had been
broken, but the member proved to be
unlnJured the skin not even being
broken and the pain soon subsiced
leaving no sensation other than feel
ing OF numbness which remained dur
ing the entire morning
The bullet proved to be a thfrty-two
calibre and might have killed Mrs
Locas had the force been greater. to
say nothing of breaking her nose ard
dlshguring her for life had the injury
been merely a local one. However 1T
was spent ball and the victim gives
thanks hourly that the full force was
missing when it hit her
Mr.. Lucas went outside and looked
all around the neighborhood in search
of the man or boy who was so care
less In his use of fire arms, but he
could find no one who appeared to be
responsible. 1t is not believed by the
family that there was any malice in
the act both Mr. and Mrs. Lucas be-
lieving that the bullet was merely a
stray shot fired by some careless
shooter.

pose of familiarizing himself with the
telephone situation there.
His company has made a number of
important promises relating to what

One of these is a centrally located ex-
change between East Chicago and In

WILL REDOUBLE THEIR
EFFORTS TO GET HIM

Because of the fact that Governor
johnson Of Minnesota, democratic can
dldate Tor president, will be in Chi
cago May 2, the day of the I,aka
county Democratic convention, the
Gary democratic club feels that the
prospects for getting the great politt-
clan here are very bright. Since Mr..
Bryan has refused to accept, Gary dem
ocrats would like chance to see the
only other man who has a chance to
beat him for the nomination. Cover
Eor Johnson would be a great drawing
card to politicians throughout this part
OF the state, and now that he is sched-
uled to be in Chicago the very day
they planned to have him here, there
efforts will be redoubled to secure him

GARY LOSES BALL GAME
Farmer Boys Show Mill
Workers That They Can
Play Ball.

The practice game between the Ches-
terton Tribunes and the newly organ
lied Gary team last Sunday at Ches-
terton resulted in the defeat of the
Gary team by the score of to a.
while there was no comparison in
the playing of the two teams yester-
day on account of the fact that the
Gary men had no team work and little
practice, it sserved to show that the
Gary team has a lot of good material
and tonight q regular team will be
selected from the twelve men who
played yesterday which it is hoped
can be whipped into good shope be-
fore the season Is very far advanced.
The players whose work was es-
pecially commendable, were Anderson,
at third base, Harmon in the box and
Soler as catcher. One of the discour-
aging developments as a result of the
game from Gary standpoint was the
inability of the Gary men to hit.
1t is a question whether this is a
compliment to the Chesterton pitcher
or knock on the batting ability of the
Garyites. 1t has been decided to have
another game at Chesterton next Sun
day and it is hoped that the Gary
team will be in better practice and
Will be able to make a better showing.
There was a large crowd out TO the
game last Sunday and among the en-
thusiastic rooters for the Chesterton
team was Senator Bowser who, as the
editor Of the Chesterton Tribune. took
1t upon himself to aid in the organiza-
ton of team thaa would advertise
the city and his paper and at the same
time further the national game in his
particular burg.

TRIP HAS A SAD ENDING
East Chicago Man Brought
Back Saturday for
Burial.

A trip begun last September, partly
on business and partly for pleasure BY
Harry Jones, of East Chicago, has had
a tragic ending.
The young man, who is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Jones, 1924 For
syth avenue, was brought home Satur-
day morning, dead, having been killed
some days before by an express train
near Royersford, Pa.
Mr.. Jones, who was 80 years of age
left home early last fall to visit friends
in Bellevue, Canada. After spending
some time In that place, he went to
Buffalo, and thence quite recently to
Royersford, Pa. On Monday night at
about o'clock he was walking down
the tracks of the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad, which is four
tracker. He noticed two freight trains
on the two outer tracks and walked
along the middle of the right of way
to avoid these. 1t is believed the
noise from the freights prevented his
noticing the approach of the express
train. The engineer whistled loud and
shrilly, but the young man did not
even turn. He was struck squarely
and death was instantaneous, the body
being badly mutilated. The body was
shipped to East Chicago via the Lake
Shore, and reached East Chicago at
$3.50 a. m. Saturday. The funeral took
place the same day.
Young Mr.. Jones was unmarried and
lived with his parents and two brothers.
VIII and Dave at 1924 Forsyth avenue.
He was the second oldest son in the
family. During his residence in East
Chicago he was employed as a rougher
at the Inter State steel mills.

NO MORE PASSES
OR REBATES TO PATRONS
Calumet Electric Takes Advantage of
Railroad Law to Abolish FavOrs.

The Calumet Electric Railway COM
pany has discontinued issuing twenty
two tickets for $500 and since the
order went into effect the 18th of this
month, there has been considerable
complaining among the patrons of the
line.
BY purchasing the twenty-five trip
tickets it meant a saving of 10 cents
to the passenger. Those who found it
necessary to travel over the line twice
daily have registered the most strenu-
Gus kicks.
Along with the workingman, who
probably suffer the greatest owing to
this order will be the class of people
who are given complimentary pass
books. This too is to be abolished by
May i. The company has already begun
taking up books and calling those in
which have not as yet expired. 1t Is
claimed that no less than 5000 books
are in use throughout the city. All
this has come about. it is said, through
the rebate law which has been effective
for some time on all the steam rail-
roads.
