Especial to THE T1MEs).

Crown Point, Ind, June 2.-The
county seat heaves a gentle sigh of
relief to think that it is over for the
time being at least.
There is a truce of hostilities at
present-and it will not break out as
long as Lonzo continues to be cooped
up in Sheriff F. S. Carter's boarding
house, where he rubs his bruised poll
and cogitates over the frailities Of life
In the meantime Lorenzo, fat and
sassy, thinks how much better it is to
be on the outside looking in than on
the inside looking out
Fight Is n Corker.
Lorenzo Bartholomew and Alonzo
Highland are two Crown Point citi-
zens who up to lately were fast friends
But woman came between them. Il
was Mrs. Lorenzo. Lonzo liked Mrs
Lorenzo and, according to Lorenzo, was
a blamesite too conscious of his owr
manly powers, for the two men me-
on the street yesterday and the battle
could be scented afar.
I want you to let my wife alone,

Oh, Lorenzo, How Could You?

blazed forth Lorenzo, and then he past

saw the encounter said that Lorenzoi

mill in a Zuyder Zee blow
Anyway Lonzo swore out a warran
and Lorenzo was fined in Judge Mich
olson's court. Then Lorenzo had Lonz,
arrested and Lonzo was also foun,
guilty.
Judge Nicholson just hated to do it
but as Lonzo didn't have the none,
he is now peeking out through tn

QUEER CASE
IN CITY COURT
John Papp Accuses Married
Couple of Fornication
in Trial.
.PAPP PROSECUTING WITNESS
Jury Trial This Afternoon Brings
Out Number of Sensational
Incidents.

There is an odd criminal case going
on in Judge McMahan's city court this
afternoon and the court room habitues
are trying to solve the perplexfng
problems brought out during the
prosecution.
On the 26th of May last Verona Far
kas, a comeIy lass employed at house
keeper in the family of Mike Marko-
witch, who keeps saloon and board
ing house on Columbia avenue in the
Standard Steel car district, was ar
rested on charge of fornication.
Marhovftch Also Arrested.
Another warrant was sworn out be-
fore Judge McMahan on the same day
against Markovitch bringing the same
charges against his as against the
Farkas girl, who is not over II years
of age.
The prosecuting witness in the case
is John Papp, who is not related In
any way to either of the parties in the
case and a lot of people are wonder
ing what his interests are.
Got a License.
Two days after they were arrested
and released On bond, Markovitch and
Verona Frakas went to Crown Point
where they secured a license in Coun-
ty Clerk Shortridge's office and were
married by justice of the peace there
This did not lessen Papp's bitter
ness, however, for the case was sci
for trial today and at 1:20 was called
in the city court. Papp came t.

The eyes of ali the good Hammond,

they are all good-are turned toward
Indianapolis today where the state con-
vention of Elks is on today and to-
morrow. The convention is a conven-
tion Of delegates of lodges belonging

attending and they are in Indianapolis
today by the thousands. Preparations
have been made by Lodge No. 13, oldest
in the state and located at Indianapolis
to take care of 10000 visitors.
Local Erks Don't Belong.
The convention of the state organiza-
ton will give the local lodge of Elks
a new stimulus to affiliate itself with
the state organization, and some of the
officials in giving their private opinion
to-day confidently expressed their hope
that some. day the Hammond lodge
fwould belong TO the state organic z0Hs

H. N. B|CKNELL SAID
TO Be SLATED
Hammond Druggist Holds
the Edge on Board of
Education Plum.
HI. .MEIKLE RETIRING OFFICER
Bicknell To Be Awarded Job, It Is
Said, For His Political
Labors.

According to quiet tip which went
out today Druggist Henry Bicknell
will tonight be elected by the city
council to the position on the school
board which is to be vacated by the
vice in this body.
Mr.. Meikle was not a candidate for
reappointment and as there are already
two democratic members on the board
and the law requires the city council
to appoint at least one republican on
the board, Mr.. Bickneu was the most
available man.
Mr.. Bicknel1 has been in line for
some favor from the democratic party
ever since he supported Mayor Becker
against A. F. Knots, and the vacancy
on the board was Becker's opportun-
ity.
Council Does the Appointing.
OF course the council has the ap-
pointing of the new member, but it is
understood that in the interests of par
ty harmony and because Mayor Becker
desires BicknelFs appointment they
will carry out this program.
The matter has been all thrashed
out and it is understood that the con-
sent to the mayors program was unan-
imous.
Henry Bicknell, who is popularity
known as Uncle Henry" it is be-
lieved will make an exceedingly good
board member He has had the re-
quired business experience and enjoys
the complete confidence of all of those
who know him.
Mr.. BickneH Well known.
He has long been in business in
Hammond and his family is exceed
ingly well and favorably known in the
social circles of the city. Mr.. Bick-
nell will receive the congratulations
of large number of friends and ac-

asleep, the youngster called her ia

over with, instead of sending her off

Work as though you were to live

die tonight" says an old writer. It is
counsel that fits many, though the
man whose life Is we'll insured may
claim some exemption. He has no
need Of working as though death were
ready to come, for he has already an
ticipated and guarded his dependents
against the monetary distress that so
often trails in the grim visitors wake.

ENGINEER KILLED;
MANY ARE INJURED
TRAINS COLLIDE ON SANTA Re
EARLY MONDAY MORNING.
THE ORDERS WERE NOT OBEYED
Stock Extra and Regular Passenger
Train Met Head On-SignaIs Were
Not obeyed-Both Trains
Were Slowing Down.

Newton, Kan, Oct. 19.-Santa Fe
train No. II, known as the Oklahoma
and Texas express, due here at 3:45
o'clock this morning, but which was
running somewhat late, collided head
on with a stock extra, eastbound at
Braddock, small station fifteen miles
east of here, causing the death Of
Engineer Dave Roberts of the extra,
and the injuring of about twenty-five
passengers.
How It Happened.
Braddock Is at the junction Of the
double track between there and EN-
poria. For the board had been set
against No. II, in other words, 1t liz
dicated red or stop. The switch lead
Ing onto the double track had been
set for that track for the purpose of
allowing the stock train to pass there
on before No. II proceeded. But in
stead Of No. II coming to a stop be-
fore reaching this switch, the train
kept right on, colliding with the ex-
ira about seventy feet west of the
junction switch.
AS soon as the operator at Braddock
saw that No II had passed, and realz-
ing that a collision was imminent, he
threw the home and distant signals,
located west of the station, to warn
the stock train of impending danger
Tho engineer must have observed this,
and the engineer on No. II must have
also realized about the same time that
he was going too far, for both trains
had slowed down considerably before
they came together.
Engineer Caught In Cab. :
Engineer Roberts was apparently In
the act of jumping from the gangway
of his engine and was caught be-
tween the cab and engine tank. Both
legs were browten and he sustained
other injuries. 1t is probable that he
was killed instantly.
The accident occurred on short
piece of single track six miles long
between Braddock and Walton. With
the exception of this space the Santa
Fe Is double-tracked between Emporia
and Newton, distance of seventy
three miles.
The stock train contained about
thirty-five cars of cattle. OF these,
sixty.five head were killed and 1875
are reported missing. The killed and
missing consist mainly of calves.

Council Bluffs, Iowa. Investigation
following the receipts of information
from Greeley, Col, telling of the claim
of a man of that place that he had
been swindled out of $4,000 by means
of fake horse race in this city shows
that a series of swindlers similar to
the one reported have been perpe-
trated by well organized gang which
has had headquarters in this city for
several months. Fake horse races,
foot races and prizefights are stated
to have been used and large sums
have been lost.
