they located with much effort on Mil
waukee avenue, Chicago, in the for
eign district of the city. Upon inquir-
ing for a safety deposit box of a GER
tain number they were informed that
the box was owned by a minister.
They were then given the description
of the man and they recognized it as
that of a man that had previously done
business with them The attorneys
were compelled to return to Hammond
without accomplishing thing in the
way of locating the money.
II Pradonovich were to be released
on bond Of $4,000 he would at once
be rearrested and again released on
another bond of the same amount COW
ering the same charge. His logged
determination to remain in Jail and the
sudden changing of his mind when he
asked to be released on bond is a
puzzle too deep for even his own at
torneys to solve. They admit that
they are completely baffled by his ac-
lions and have now determined to hold
him in jail until the trial in spite of

trary.

80 Cents Cures Rheumatism
Fort Wayne Man Has a Wonderful
Case of Recovery.
III. A. Alter, After Suffering For Six
teen Years With Rheumatism, Is
Cured by Few Doses of
Simple Prescription.

(From the TT. Wayne urnal-Gazette)
Mr.. Henry A. Alter. the well-known
contracting painter, met the writer and
told him a most interesting story of
sixteen years experience with rheu-
matism, and how he finally found a
cure in a simple inexpensive remedy
Believing that 1t will be of value to
many of our readers, we obtained the
prescription, which we kladly publish
with Mr.. Alters interesting expert
ence.
In the winter of 1893, Mr.. Alter was
taken with inflammatory rheumatism
and confined to his home, 1906 Summit
street, three months with this most
painful of all diseases. With the COM
ing of spring. he recovered sufficiently
to attend to his business, but each fol-
lowing winter for fifteen years. he was
again confined to his bed for from two
to four months. Doctors and patent
medicines all proved worthless Every
remedy recommended by anxious
friends and relatives was tried until he
was so discouraged over the hopeless
struggle that he was on the verge OF
resigning himself to his fate. Early
in the winter of 1913, his sixteenth
attack started with evidence Of being
more severe than ever.
About this time he heard of a simple
home prescription Sending to a near.
by druggist he was astonished to finf
that it could be filled for about eight,
cents. He was still more agreeabl,
astonished to find himself improving
fro malmost the first does 1t few
days he was able to be out attending
business, and now, two months later
believes himself completely cured.
Knowing Mr.. Alter personally ant
having heard from his own lips the &C
count of his marvellous cure, we in
vestigated, and, after finding that TIL,
prescription could be filled by any
druggist. decided to publish it. 1t Il

NOTES OF THE CONTEST.

Towles opera house never held more
people than it did last night. = Every
available seat was taken and there
were people outside waiting to hear
the outcome of the oratorical contest.
Walter Smith is not discouraged by
the outcome of the contest last night
He says he will enter again next year
and he hopes with the experience he
has had this time he will be able to
win.
G. H. Thompson, superintendent of
the Hobart schools, made the announce
ments and was so sober about it that
the word was passed around tina he
was the Gloomy Gus" of the enter
tainment This made a hit with the
students.
The cheering was never better. The
boys got all of the yells off in choppy.
snappy manner that was very effective.
In fact. Towles opera house was not
big enough to hold the noise.
The playing of the Baptist orchestra
was one OF the features of the enter
tainment and the first selection was
very much appreciated. This can not
be said of the second and final selec-
ton however, for the noise of the yell
ing students was so great that the
music was not heard back of the fifth
row.
There is little complaint with the de
cision of the judges and every con-
testant is taking his victory or de-
feat in good grace. The fact that
the contest was held in Hammond did
did not affect the result in the least
and all of the visitors were treated
fairly.
| The Hotel Majestic was made the
headquarters of the students from out
of town after the contest and until
after eleven o'clock they made the
might hideous with their yells.

IS EvICTEO
Constable Often, of Indiana
Harbor, Puts Woman and
Goods on the Street.

A sad case of restitution has come
to light in Indiana Harbor in that of
Mrs Nellie Evans, for many years a
resident of East Chicago and Indiana
Harbor.
The woman, who is native of
Gibraltar, Spain, and who is 65 years
old, is a paralytic. She has been liv-
ing for some time in a house for
which S. Cohen is the agent and was
012 in arrears with her rent. Her
landlord refusing to longer harbor her
without payment of the delinquent
rent, ordered her eviction. Constable
Gus often, whom DR.. Robert Ansley,
who is attending the unfortunate
woman, referred to as apt pupil of
Constable Greenbury of unsavory fame.
attended to the case.
He found Mr.. Evans in bed and un-
abel to get up. The doughty officer
of the law, however, was nothing
daunted at little difficulty like this.
He, with some assistance, carried the
invalid from her squalid quarters out
onto the street. She was followed by
her household goods, all of which were
set out upon the sidewalk
Neighbors took pity upon the wom-
an and some one called Dr. Onsley.
The patient was sent to hospital. but
could not for some reason be accom-
modated, and she is now being cared
for by good hearted folk, while Dr.
Ansley is trying to find permanent
quarters for the aged woman. He
communicated with Trustee Schaaf this
morning and steps will be taken at
once to have the patient properly cared
for, either in the poor house or else

PUZZLES ATTORNEYS
Gary Fleecer of Foreigners
Enigma to His Own
Lawyers.
GUARDS SECRET or TREASURE
Twice Waivers Toward Freedom But
in End Refuses to Divulge
Moneys Hiding Place.

The case of Nikoli Pradonovich, the
wealthy foreigner charged with 1eec-
ing his countrymen out of more than
$4,000, has become one of the greatest
mysteries in the annals of police his
tory In Gary. Harris and Bretsch, the
attorneys for the alleged embezzler, are
puzzled at the action of the man whom
they are about to defend and whom
they believe they will be able to ac-
quit. The mystery hinges on the
money, amounting to S25, 900, which the
man processes to have, and which fact
is generally accredited by his friends.
When first arrested the man stole
ally refused to furnish bond for him
self, thereby revealing the place where
his money was concealed, and express
ed a desire to serve whatever term he
is given and leave the penitentiary a
rich man. After being taken to Crown
Point to await arial it was not long
before he expressed a desire to be re-
leased on bond, and sent to Gary for
his attorneys.
Papers Are Drawn Up.
The latter drew up the necessary pa
pers, secured bondsmen until the pris-
oner's money could be obtained and the
was accomplished and they were about
to release the man. three weeks ago,
he suddenly changed his mind and no
persuasion could force him to leave the
Jail.
The only explanation was that the
thougs of losing his money prompted
him to remain in jail. Again on We'd
nesday he appealed to his attorneys
l.; OF
this time ]. Glenn Harris, his attorney
was to be sworn in as a deputy con-
stable and take the man to Chicago
where his money could be drawn from
a bank and all of his creditors paid off
in full When the preparation had
been made for this. again the man
wavered and finally refused to reveal
where his money was located.
Habits Are Exemplary.
Pradonovich is one of the shrewdest
criminals ever dealt with in the coun-
ty He neither drinks, CANDLES or
even smokes and the money which he
has confscated must still be in his pos
session. After leaving Gary he had
only been gone a week when he was
captured, and it would have been i'm
possible for him to have disposed of
the money. The police department.. at
torneys for the prosecution and those
| who have been duped have searched

without success. The man admits that

action will then be civil and not Grim
