GALLANT GARY COP
COVERED WITH CONFUSION

A good story is being told on one of
the merchant police of Gary employed
under the well known constable, Frank
Chambers. The man was engaged in
patrolling his beat several nights ago,
according to the story Of Judge p l.
Fitzgerald, when in passing barber
shop he suddenly discerned the form
Of a man carefully peering out toward
the street from the back of the room.
The policeman thought that his chance
had arrived to at last become hero
and secure a well deserved promotion,
so he prepared to camp on the spot
and await the coming out of the bur-
o1ar After stealthily concealing him
self from L o'clock to o'clock in the
morning he peeped around the corner
RI take another look at his victim. BY
this time it was light enough so that
he was able to identify the man, and
the policeman spent the rest of the
morning looking for knothole to
crawl through. 1t was his own re-
lection in the barber shop mirror.

the ultimatum issued by Mayor Thomas
O'Connor of this city over the Iong-dis-
tance telephone to Chief of Police Kier-

cago in a ten-round bout. After the
mill Farmer tainted from over-exer-
ton, a weakened heart and pummeling

Crown Point Ind, May 14-(Special..
Lake county game wardens have been
busy throughout the county during the
last week and several parties were
made aware of the fact yesterday in
Judge Nicholson's court, much to the
chagrin of themselves and the hatten-
ing out of their pocketbooks.
Ignorance No Excuse.
One Crown Point merchant, who
pleaded ignorance of the game law, was
not excused on these grounds and was
fined SIS and costs, amounting to $39.50,
for selling fish contrary to the state
game laws. Four men from Hobart
caught seining for fish in the mill
pond there were brought before Judge
Nicholson and disposed of as follows:
Fred Cash, case dismissed on ac-
count of insufficient evidence
Fred Black, case disposed Of in same
manner.
Frank Kock, fined SIS and costs.
amounting to $3.50.
William Ostrander, same fine and
costs.
New Cases Investigated.
Several more cases are being inves-
tigated around the vicinity of Cedar
Lake and the offenders will probably
feel the effects of the majesty of the
law today.
It is reported that one road super
visor who is supposed to act in the
capacity of game warden, has been
guilty of violating the game law, but
it is not known whether sufficient evil
dence can be procured to convict him.
The game warden intends to prosecute
additional cases with increased vigor
and make an example of violators of
the game laws in an effort to preserve
the sport for fishermen who care not
for the quantity as much as the quail
ity of the fish caught, and it is said
the Hobart school fund will be en-
riched several dollars as a consequence
of his exertions.

SLAGLE IS BENCHED.

Jimmy Slagle, for years the center
fielder of the Cubs, has been placed on
the bench for awhile, and Artie Hof-
man will take his place. RABBIT has.
not been at his best since the season
started, and Chance believes that he
should be given a rest. This gives
Holman, regarded as the greatest uti1-
9ty man in game, chance to show what
he can do as a regular. The change
does not mean that Jimmy is out of it
for good. If Holman should fall down
on the job, James will be shot back
to the place again.

Albert Lea Tribune: A jury in the
Faribault county district court has
handed down decision for 92,5OO.OO
damages against the city of Blue Earth
for injuries sustained by person as q
result of falling on defective side
walk. The Post of this city remarks
that had it been an individual that bad
been sued instead of the city the YER
dict would have been between $25 and
800. There is q tendency to give
heavy personal injury verdicts against
cities and corporations because it is
thought that they can afford to pay
them. 1t is not good law or good
morals, but it is q condition of present
day juries to soak the ones who can
pay.

Feathers recommended by Audubon So
~eieties. They are taken from the bird
without killing it and without pain.
This is done by men skilled in the busi-
ness, so that, in the course of time the
stubbs Of the quilts dry up, fall out and
new feathers grow in and when large
enough are clipped again. If feathers
must be worn, use ostrich plumes, but
abandon all other varieties. What

DRYING OUT ZUYDER ZEE.
RecIaiming Land from
. the Sea.

The Chicago drainage canal is a mere
plaything compared with the engineer
ing feat of draining HARLEM lake in
Holland, says writer in the New York
Tribune The Dutch built dixie around
piece of the sea and then pumped the
AXE they had made entirely dry This
vas SO successful that other portions OF
he sea have been reclaimed in the same
way. Now the Netherlanders have
;et out to dry up a sea. the Zuyder Zee.
and reclaim about 600 square miles.
The cost of this undertaking is esti-
mated to be Sal 600 900 OF $4,000 900
more than the cost of the New York
iubway. The Dutch government. how
aver. expects to get its money back. as
will have 100000 acres of land. from
which it expects to get a rental Of
4.5O0 900 year.
One might think that such a marshy
ract of land, even after it had been re-
claimed and drained. would be malarial.
Not so. The draining of the land will
De done a little at a time, so as TO
shorten the marshy stage as much as
possible. Coast land. even if low,
when past the marshy stage. is espe-
cially healthful Furthermore. the
people of that country are used to low
land. At any rate. they succeeded in
/ drying up Haarlem.

GREEN TURTLES OF FLORIDA.
EIahermsn Catch Them with Nets ma
They Float in BallH of
Grass.

The green turtles Of southern Flor
Ida live in deep water and feed on sea
plants. mostly the kind called turtle
grass" which they cut OF near the
roots. eating the lower parts and leav-
ing the tops floating so that it collects
in great fields and marks the spots
where the animals are to be hunted
for by the fishermen. After browsing
in such ocean pastures the green tur-
ties 90 to the mouths of rivers for
baths of fresh water. which they seem
to need from time to time. The Flor
ida fishermen say the reptiles enter
the creeks and roll together in masses
of grass, cementing them into balls
with clay. When the turn of the tide
takes the balls out to sea they follow
them. The fishermen watch for such
balls floating down the creeks. and
when they see them they stretch nets
across the mouths of the streams and
always catch the turtles.
