SOLD $3.50 MUFFLERS
FOR TWENTY FIVE CENTS
John Malkcwski Picked Up By Cap
tain Bunde Believed to Have Been
at the Head of School of Crime
Across the Border in West Ham
mond, Ill.

The fact that there was considerable
shoplifting during the holiday season
Is shown by the arrest of four West
Hammond boys who have all confessed
their guilt to the police and admit
stealing $25 to $50 worth of goods and
are believed to have taken even more.
The police were acquainted with the
operations of the gang after certain
boys had been discovered trying to
sell $3.50 mufflers for 25 cents. The
first young man to be arrested was
John Malkowski, who was picked up
by Captain Bunde after he had been
searching for the boy over in West
Hammond.
Was En- Route Home.
Malkowski had been at the moving
picture show in Hammond and was
on his way home when he was met
by the police at Clinton and Holman
streets and was taken to theS station.
The case against Malkowski was SCI
good that it was not long before the
polices compelled him to make a writ
ten confession of his guilt In fact,
SO thorough had the police investiga-
ton of the case been that they found
little boy who had seen Malkowski
steal a box of mufhers.
The confession of Malkowski impli-
Gated several other West Hammond
boys and also revealed the fact that
Malkowski and his friends were con-
Quoting school of crime and in one
case paid a little boy 10 cents to go
into the Lion store and steal a cap.
Turned Over to Police.
The other boys were arrested as a
result Of the splendid cooperation
which the Hammond police received
from Officers Okra and Kulcheck OF
West Hammond They were turned over
to the Hammond police and are now
in jail. These boys are John Nitz
John Stephanski and Tony Ketca.
All of these boys are tough young
sters and are thieves by nature. 1t is
believed that they have been practic-
ing thievery in the department stores
of Hammond for a long time and that
the amount of their thefts would prob
ably reach to several hundreds dollars
If it could be estimated.
The boys were found to have taker
many muffiers and were known to have
sold several to other boys for the price
of a square meal. These boys will be
made witnesses against the four young
men and their conviction seems certain

Barnie Young, the local bandmaster,
whose concert early next year is al
ready making stir in musical circles,
was the most surprised man in Ham
mond yesterday when he had tele-
phone conversation with a wel1-known
Hammond lady.
rs this Mr.. Young?' was the nrst
question
Mr. Young admitted his identity
well. I notice you are advertising
for girls in THE TIMzsg" then the lady
went on.
yes. want hundred of them" said
Mr.. Young.
Then came the surprise.
well, haven't any girls" said the
lady, but have a fine boy who has
splendid tenor voice, and l could dress
him UP SO that nobody would know
the differences, and he would be glad
to sing with the girls"
The genial bandmaster was quite at
a loss what to say fer minute, but
he had to decline. for while he himself
could have sandwiched IN the young
tenor among his-100 girls he was fear-
full that they might not stand for it.
So the girls can rest assured that no
budding Caruso will slip in among them
unawares.

mister, come up right away, for there's
a burglar locked In ore of my clothes
closets" was the tale that hoated over
the wires to Sergeant Charles Bowen
early last evening. The voice was that
of woman, greatly excited. and at the
thought of possible heroic capture
Charlie grasped both his revolvers in
his hands and made for the scene Of
the proposed conflict. The voice was
that of Mrs. Sam Rosenthal, who man
ages the New York store on Olcott
avenue.
Sergeant Bowen made record trip
to the RosenthaI fiat, expecting to find
the house in a state of turmoil. He
was met at the head of the stairs by
Mrs. Rosenthal, laughing so hard that
she could hardly make the sergeant
understand what had happened. Final

learned that proposed .elopernent had
been nipped in the bud.
The bride-to-be IS a domestic in the
employ of Mrs. Rosenthal.
Had not the man in the case fallen
asleep while awaiting the appearance
of his lady love all would have been
well, but a little .snooze" proved his
undoing. He snored and was discov-
cred by his sweethearts mistress. In
reciting the story to the police Of
ficer Mrs. Rosenthal said that she had
merely unlocked the closet door to see
what the fellow looked like. Upon
recognizing him the fellow was allowed
to leave the house, much to Charles
chagrin. The poor fellow was going
to wait in the clothes-pr press" said Mrs
Rosenthal, until we had all gone to
bed. He was then to be released by
the servant and the pair intended to GO
to Chicago

DOG VARIATIONS.
Pointers and Settlers Are Of the Canine
Sristocracy.

Sristocraey.
1t is "A mistake TO suppose that
dogs are anywhere near alike in
character Even those Of the same
breed vary, and about as much as
men and women Of the same ma
tionality. AS 10 the manners and
the morals Of dogs, they are to a
great extent the result Of their con-
tact with man, and they develop
along the same lines. And, on the
other hand, it is impossible to make
anything out Of a mean spirited dog,
just as it is out of a mean spirited
person. Dog instinct is about the
same as human instinct A dog rea-
sons, learns, judges by facts, exact
~ as a man reasons He is quicker
of observation. lie has the keen
sense Of smell, which makes up TO
him IN some measure for the vi
carious experience Of human beings
The dog must experience thing TO
know II, and his faculties have been
trained By generations of observa-
ton, Of taking note, until they have
reached their present perfection.
\ dog has not the power of
speech with which to conceal his
thoughts Consequently he is frank
er than man, but quite unconscious
ly so. When he is a dependent, he
has the faults of one lie is vain,
jealous, suspicious and a snob
Pointers and settlers are essential
ly of the aristocracy Of the dog
world, and they have gentlemanly
qualities They have the grand air.
They will allow themselves to be ad-
mired by ordinary people, but they
never give their allegiance to any
except the accomplished hunter
They are elegant of form and Wig
orous Of muscle, like any athlete,
and have a power of discrimination
and thought
The well bred contempt of fine
dog of one of these breeds for a man
who has not intelligence enough to
understand his strategy in the field
must be seen to be appreciated.
There is a story told of a trained
pointer that was taken out with a
party Of inexperienced hunters. She
was seen to spring to the top Of 4
wall and then fall back 1t was sup
posed she had caught her foot, and
they ran 10 release her She was
holding by her paws and was beaten
down as stupid dog and turned
and walked deliberately home. 1t
was finally found that she had
scented a covey of birds on the 9th
er side Of the wall and, fearful of
flushing them before the hunters
came up, had fallen back out OF
sight.
You can note the dignity and
moral worth of some dogs in their
carriage, the poise of their heads
and the expression Of their eyes A
dog of sterling character never
steals any more than human being
of this kind steals. = Amateur
Sportsman.
