PLEASANT PICNIC AT
ST. JOHN YESTERDAY
Spring Hill Grove Scene of Badenser
Picnic From Chicago.

ST. John, Ind, Aug. 8.-(SpeciaD-
Spring Hill Grove was the scene yes
terday of one of the most pleasant pic
MICS held there this season. 1t was
held under the auspices of the Bad
enser society of Chicago. With such a
gathering there was no need of sign
reading: Heir wird Deutsch ge-
sprochen.'
1t was German picnic right and
everybody. whether German or not, en-
tered into the spirit The signers of
the society who were among the ex-
cursionists. made the echo ring with
German songs. Two young fellows
who made n nuisance of themselves on
the dancing floor were promptly or
dered from the floor.
The proba bilities are that another
picnic from Chicago will be held on the
23rd of this month.

SERGEANT FIGURES
IN A SENSATION
South Chicago Cop Poses as the onl!
Unkissed Man in City.

Sergeant Patrick McCauley Of the
Fifteenth precinct who, since his mar
row escape from drowning week ago.
known around the police station as
Commodore" yesterday figured in
rescue more sensational than his own.
James Maxwell, a young man who
was swimming near the Nicholson
beach, suffered stroke of cramps and
went under. Rising to the surface
again he called for help.
The commodore" sergeant seeing his
predicament while standing on the pier
made a long headlong dive and swan
tc MaxwelTs assistance, towing him in
by the hair.
Sergeant McCauley was roundly
cheered by the spectators and congrat-
ulated and one damsel more enthu-
siastic than her sisters about the hero
offered to kiss his noble brow. Ser
geant McCauley may be brave and has
demonstrated it time and again, but he
is very much averse to any demonstra-
ton on his own behalf. In addition to
this he holds the unique position at
the station that he is the only unkissed
policeman in South Chicago as far as
is known 1t is Unnecessary to say that
he remained unktssed.

STOCK Is SAVED.

Probably the most fortunate occur
renee of the entire affair was the fact
that the new drug store which was
about to locate in the Garden hotel
building had not been able to have
their stock and fixtures moved into
the building Saturday as they had in
tended. The valuable fixtures were ly-
ing in the freight house. and it was
only due to the fact that the dray
could not handle them that they were
not taken to the store. The building
had been leased for this purpose by
Meltier and Meketinski, the real es
tate men. for this purpose.
Last night the homeless fire victims
sought shelter in tents. improvised
shacks and any means of protection
that they could procure. Many of
