HE SIMPLY KNOCKED
HIS BETTER HALF DOWN
Then Bucsice Was Wroth Because the
Neighbors Told the Police.

Because the neighbors of Mr.. and
Mrs. Bucsice of the Standard Steel Car
district happened to see Mrs. Bucsice
lying out in the yard in an unconscious
condition. they jumped to the conclu-
sion that she had been murdered and
they notified the police to that effect.
AS result Bucsice is very wroth.
The facts of the case are that Mr.. Buc-
sice simply had a quarrel with his
wife. He did as he thinks any hus-
band has a right to do when his wife
will not do as he wants her to and
knocked her down.
That would have been the end of that
little example of domestic infelicity If
it had not been for the inquisitive
neighbors who did not mind their own
business.
If they had observed the regulations
of the neighborhood they would have
let Mr.. Bucsice attend to the recussitat-
ing of his wife and the police would
never have known anything about the
case.

BECKER At HEAD OF It

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov 26.-There is
a movement on foot throughout the
state urging members of the legisla-
ture to repeal that part of the cities
and towns act of 1905 which prohibits
mayors of the various cities and towns
from succeeding themselves. The
movement is said to be backed by the
mayors themselves, many of whom are
anxious to continue in office for an
other term of four years. Several
meetings have been held and a petit
tionisnowbeing circulated throughout
the state asking the next legislature
to repeal the provisions. Mayor Law
renee Becker of Hammond is said to
be the principal factor in the effort
and it was learned today that he had
tried to enlist the services of Mayor
Charles A. Bookwalter in the move
ment. Mayor Bookwalter says he de-
clined to aid in the efforts.

ANOTHER GIBSON FIRE

Fire from an unknown origin, but
presumably from an overheated stove,
last Wednesday night destroyed the
Bremen saloon at Gibson. The place
was occupied by a family who lived
in the rear and they lost practically
all of their household goods. The
building itself was one-story affair
with saloon in front and living rooms
in the rear
Fire department No. responded to
call with the hose wagon, and
though it found plenty of water pres
sure, there was little left after it had
made its long run from Calumet ave
nue. through Hessville and thence to
Gibson.
This is the second time that fire has
destroyed the saloon on this site and
it took considerable work to save a
cottage near by. Only the smallest
part of the loss was covered by insur-
ance.

REPORT QUEER ROBBERY
Police Called Upon to Solve
Another Mysterious
Affair

The police have been engaged in
solving one of the most peculiar bur-
glaries that have ever been called to
their attention ever since Mr. c. E.
Baker of the firm of Paxton & Baker
reported on Thanksgiving morning that
the store had been robbed and that a
large quantity of merchapdise had been
taken.
Entrance to the store was gained
through a second-story window and
the robbery is supposed to have TAX
en- place some time during the night
before Thanksgiving. The peculiar
thing about the robbery is the fact that
the burglars took the loot to the Sec
ond floor and lowered it out of the
window when 1t would have been much
easier to have opened the door leading
to the alley and take the goods right
out.
The goods taken amounts to about
500 value. There were silk skirts
to the value of s63.75 and mems clothes
to the value of $50. It appears that
after the goods had been lowered out
of the second-story window one of the
| burglars tried to slide down a lace cur
tain. which had been used to lower the
loot and the improvised rope broke be-
fore he reached the ground. The po-
lice are certain that some one took a
bad fall in the attempt to get out of the
window.
Mr.. Baker is accustomed to sleep in
in the store. but it happened that on
this occasion he did not do so. The po-
| lice think that the robbers may have
taken some of the things to the second
| floor to make it appear that they were
let out that way in order to mystify
| he police.
They says that no professional bur-
| glar would lower goods out of a sec
ond-story window If there was con-
venient door through which the es-
| cape could have been made

ENJOY A BANQUET
At SOUTH BEND
Delay Is Encountered at Hudson Lake
Owing to Defective Trolley Wire
Michigan City, LaPorte and Elk
hart Also Visited on the Same
Day.

The Gary Commercial club introduced
itself Wednesday to several of the
larger cities of northern Indiana. The
event proved to be of great pleasure
both to the people of the places which.
were visited, and the members of the
organization, besides accomplishing the
primary object of the junket trip, to
boom the "SteeI City, and create a
harmonious feeling among the munici-
paIities of this part of the state.
The original lengthy itinerary for the
trip, which had been planned, was
shortened bya delay on the interurban
line near New Carlisle, where for over
two hours the cars crept along past
broken and sagging trolley wires.
pulled by an engine which itself proved
hardly capable of performing the task.
The cities visited by the club were
Michigan City, Mishawaka, LaPorte and
South Bend. The run from South Bend
to Elkhart was abandoned because OF
the delay in the electric line.
Was Strenuous Day.
The campaign of the Commercial club
was a strenuous one from the time the
train left the depot at Gary until the
j. feast had ben finished at the beautiful
Oliver hotel in South Bend. Had it moi
been for the inclement weather at the
starting hour it is probable that the
ranks of the invaders would have been
swelled to over one hundred. Seventy
five. however. proved to be able to make
a big noise and a profound impression
along the line of march.
Along the sides of the three charter.
ed cars, were hung the big banners, IN.

Inside the cars beside the enthusiast,
members of the club was the Gary
