JUNK PEODLERS
IN THE Tolls
Three Are Arrested by Erie
Detectives and Two Un-
able to Get Bail.
CHARGED WITH KEEPING FENCE
Sensational Case Is Unearthed as Re-
suit of the Arrest Of Boys Who
Were Arrested Recently.

Once again, have the police of Ham
mond, aided by Erie detectives, McMur-
ray and Winl<Ier, thrown out a dragnef
i'm this city which has resulted in the
arrest of three junk peddIers on the old
charge of keeping a "fence" for the
reception and desposal of stolen goods.
The men under arrest are:
HERMAN LIFsCHITZ, 126 Russell
street.
TONY REINGOLD, SIS State street.
BERNARD HEYMAN, 126 Russell
street.
Boys Accuse Them.
The police and detectives have been
busy for several days investigating the
cases in which Lois Cross. James Nc
Question and Walter Young were
charged with stealing valuable brasses
from air brakes on cars belonging to
the Erie railroad. After the three boys
were arrested they were quietly sweat
ed" and enough information was OBJ
tanned from them to warrant the ar
rest of the three junk peddlers, who the
police have been watching for some
time.
Two Are in Jail.
When the men were arrested they
were taken before Judge w. w. Nc
Mahon In the city court and their bal
fixed at 5000 each.
Reingold, who lives on State street
was the only man who was able K
furnish bail and Hayman and Lifschit;
are still in Jail. The three were to havs
had preliminary hearing before Judg'
Mcmahon this morning, but the cas-
was continued until June 4. The tria
of the boys was to have taken plac
also tonight, but it was continued. Tn
police have woven q net arouNd the me,
from which they will have a hard tim
escaping. 1t is probable that othe
peddlers and ex-peddlers may be i'm
p1icated.

MRS. DORA GOLDEN
GETS 5000 VERDICT
Crown Point Jury Decides
That Hammond Saloon
man is Liable.
CASE WILL Be APPEALED
Details of Sensational Shooting Al
fair In Plummer Avenue Sa-
loon Are Retold.

In the case of the State of Indiana
ex. rel. Dora Golden; Mrs Golden, the
wife of Patrick Golden, who was killed
in Jim Smiths saloon on Plummer ave-
nue., was awarded $500 damages and
Smiths bondsmen, Frank Maginot and
Mat Nickols will have to suffer the loss:
unless the higher court reverses.
The jury went out in the afternoon
and returned a sealed verdict after de-
liberating on the evidence for several
hours. In many respects the case was
a remarkable one in that it was a rare
demonstration Of the fact that a sa-
loonkeeper may be held accountable for
injury to a person who receives those
injuries because of the intoxicated con-
dition of his assailant who purchased
liquor in the saloonkeeper's place of
business.
In fact that is about all the attorneys
for the plaintifr tried to show. They
proved that Ferguson Lauder was In
toxicated at the time he shot Patrick
Golden. They proved that after he was
him additional drinks
With this evidence at hand they de-
manded that $4,000 the amount of
Smiths bond be awarded to the widow
for damages. They based their claim
on the, state law which makes the sa-
loonkeper. liable on his bond for dam
ages in cases of the kind.
With these points Of law decided up
on the introduction of evidence began
and while one witness testified that
Lauder was drunk or practically so at
the time the shooting took place, and
while drunk was given more drinks
by Smith, there were others who testi-
fed that he was not intoxicated.
All of the terrible details of that
shooting affair were gone over by the
witnesses among them being, Patrick
Glenn, who, himself was shot by Lau-
der Witnesses stated that Lauder had
gone to school at Valparaiso and there
were several facts as to his early life
which were brought out in the evidence
among them being the fact that he had
once thrown an eraser at his school
teacher.
The jury finally returned a verdict
Of $500 damages in favor of Mrs Col
den. The attorneys for the defense said
today that the case would be appealed

MOSQUITOES IN
EARLY INVASION
Cities in Calumet Region
Are Beset by Plague
of Little Pests.
GNAT S eau USE ANOYANCE
Heavy Rainfall Is Blamed for Pesti-
lential Appearance Of Swarms
Of Insects.
GNAT S CAUSE ANOYANCE {

The cities of Hammond Whiting, In
diana Harbor, East Chicago and Gary,
as well as other places in the Calumet
region, have been invaded by swarms
Of millions of mosquitoes and gnats
that are driving the inhabitants there
of almost out of their wits.
You Can Hear 1t Anywhere.
The anophelesian orchestra, wont to
appear only in the entire acts of the
good old summer time. this. year has
has tuned up for the lifting of the first
green curtain of June.
Less roundaboutly putting it, the
mosquito army is here-not the ad-
vance guard. but the batallions of
thousands and tens and hundreds of
notwithstanding spontaneously with
straw hat, the open-work stocking and
the peek boo waist.
With what effect the invasion has
been carried out may be judged from
the fact that even the weather bureau
has been stung into protest, though
commonly supposed to be able to put
up with almost anything.
The invasion of the two insects has
reached the Dimensions of a plague and
the discomfort that has been made
manifest owing to the swarms of the
pests is almost unbearable.
The young man who has begun his
early wooing on the front porch and
the members of the family who are
wont to seek relief from the stuffiness
of the house outside, have been forced
to beat a hasty retreat The mosquito
is bad enough, but for the first time in
years the gnats has Joined stingers
with the mosquito to the great distress
of inhabitants.
Many people in Hammond, for in
stance, have been bitten SO severely by
the pests that they are threatened
with blood poisoning in mild form.
Wet Weather Responsible.
The weather man lays 1T all on to
Jupiter Pluvius.
I'VE have had about twice as much
planned, and the stagnant water stand
ing in great pools in all parts of the
city is the cause of the early appear
ance of the mosquitoes"
Then, if the weather is responsible
for the mosquitoes" a questioner in
quired, ominously, who, Mr.. Weather
Man. is responsible for the weather."
At this the weather man sTfused
with a deep crimson wave of richest
color and remarked that he preferred
not to be quoted.
1t is impossible to step on a lawn OF
grassy place without stirring up thous-
ands of mosquitoes, and there is no re
lief in sight.

Tho celebration of the silver jubilee
of the founding of Garfield lodge. No.
56s, at tn Iasonic Temple last night
was a notable affair. The lodge room
was crowded with members and Wis
itors and the exercises were fine.
All of the officers of the lodge were
in full dress and usual formalities were
carried out with such precision as to
elicit remarks of admiration from Wis
iting brethren on all sides.
In fact. the manner in which the
members from outside lodges responded
to the invitation of Garfield lodge to
help celebrate the event that has a
special significance at this time is an
indication of the great interest that
is being taken in the Hammond order
by those in the surrounding cities.
w. Master Dyer Opens Affair.
While the lodge was being formally
opened Clark Leaning, the organist,
played the prelude. w. NJ. Charles r.
Dyer then made a short address of
welcome to the visitors and spoke Of
the significance of the event that was
being celebrated.
r. E. CARRIER sang a solo and was
roundly applauded. Grber hs q splen-
did voice and as a vocal soloist has
become a great favorite in Hammond.
w. Brother H. E. Sharrer then made
an address, in which he chose as his
subject, Progress of Masonry in Ham
mond' Dr. Sharrer has always been
knokn as one of the most progressive
of the local Masons and his remarks
were q reflection of that interest in
the fraternity which has character
ized so many of its members and has
made the great success of the lodge in
this city possible.
The violin solo by Basil ]. Walker
was greatly appreciated, but owing to
the fact that he broke the string to
his violin he was unable to respond to
the encore.
The dialect sketch by v. A. Beckman
was especially good and Mr.. Becknan,
while proving himself a monologue ar
tist of great ability also showed great
proficiency in the mastery of the Swed-
ish dialect.
Beach Could Not Come.
The address of Wor. Bro. Elmer f.
Beach, the grand orator of the grand
lodge of Illinois. was omitted from the
program owing to the inability of Mr..
Beach to keep his engagement He
sent his regrets, however, in a letter
which was read before the lodge.
There was orchestra music and then

spoke on the subject. What Masonry
Stands For" His talk was an outline
of the ancient history of the lodge and
was instructive well as interesting.
The recitation by F. e. Barclay, en-
titled, "The Old Violin was a char
acter sketch and made on of the hits
of the evening. The lodge was then
closed in due form and the visiting
brethren left for their homes in the
surrounding cities.

BY LIGHTNING
Damage Done in Big Storm
Which Swept Over Ham
mond This Morning.
CEDAR Street HOUSE IS HIT
Family of William Guss Is Shocked
By Lightning Bolt Which
Damages House.
CEDAR STREET HOUSE IS HIT

Hammond people were aroused out of
their beauty sleep this morning by "A
terrific rain and lightning storm, which
accompanied by a high wind, hit the
city early, flooding many spots, blow
ing down wires and doing considerable
damage.
One house, belonging to William
Guss, $50 Cedar street, was struck by
lightning and damaged. The family
escaped uninjured though several of it's
members were shocked by the bolt.
Happened About $50.
The Guss family had been awakened
by the heavy down pour of rain about
half past FIVE and gathered in the front
room when the flash of lightning, which
struck their home. split the sky in
twain. The bolt struck the roof of the
dwelling, tore the casing away from
one window. and strange to say. did not
break the glass. One of the children was
thrown to the floor and all the mem
bers of the family were blinded by the
fash.
Saved From Fire.
The house did not catch fire, as the
rain was pouring down the roof, but
Mr.. Guss believes that it would have
caused a blaze were it not for the
terrific rainfall. No further notice of
any other lightning damages was re-
ported at the police station.
The storm was general in the Calu-
met region. People awoke to find the
sidewalks and streets flooded. Hob
man street resembled a street in Venice
and the water came up to the axles of
the street cars. Water has been back
ing up into many cellars and flooding
them.
Farmers In Desperation.
Out in the country many wires were
laid low and the farmers are desperate
about the condition of the wet fields
which contain rotting seed The corn
crop is said to be in extremely bad
shape.
