BOLLIn BEHIND BARS
Negro Who Caused Disturb
ance in Gary, Taken to
Crown Point.

Kid Bollin, the negro who entered
the clothing store of Harry Captain on
Broadway and after supplying himself
with an outfit of clothing, struck the
proprietor in the face and ran down
the street, was taken to Crown Point
yesterday. The man seems to be men
tally deranged and made many threats
while in his cell. He said, among other
things. that if he had had a Smoke
wagon" that he would have never been
caught. This means that he would have
shot the first man that stopped him
had he had a gun in his possession.
At several stages yesterday the man
shocks the bars of his cell and kicked
at everything in sight. 1t was thought
for while yesterday that it would be
necessary to tie him to his bed but
he would soon recover and would re-
turn to a normal condition. The man
is the victim of excessive drinking and
other vicious habits which have made
him temporarily deranged. 1t is
thought, however, that Bollin is a
vicious man and he will likely be sent
to the penitentiary.

Especial to THE TrMEs).

tSpeCidl TO L HE Il4ESJ-
Robertsdale. Ind, Aug. 19.-J. Her
bert Brewster of indianapolis, the
chemist sent here by the pure food
commissioners to make a test of the
lake water, started to work Monday.
Mr.. Brewster and his assistant. with a
launch. started to set out buoys from
the mouth of the Calumet river to In
diana Harbor. These buoys will mark
the current of the lake. After the
direction of the currents have been
obtained samples of the water will be
taken at depth of ten feet beneath
the surface and extending three miles
out from shore. These samples will
be taken to the laboratory at Indiana
Harbor, where the water will be tested
to find out at what location the purest
water can be obtained. This work is
being done under the dicertion of the
Hammond board of health. The cost
will be Mr.. Brewster's and his assist
ants board and the expense of the
launch, which will be paid by Ham
mond, Whiting, East Chicago and prob
ably Gary. 1t is expected that it will
be two or three months before Mr..
Brewster will be through with the
work. The water in Hammond has
been in much worse condition this year
than in former years, and this test
is being made to find out the cause.
