LOOT RECOVERED
BY THEIR AID
Police Are Working to Land Thieves
and Chief Austgen Believes That
They Will Be Landed Sooner or
Later-East Hammond To Be
Cleared of Thieves.

There was great police activity in
the standard settlement last Saturday
night as the result of the report of the
theft of some clothes from the resi-
dence of Mr.. J. c. Collins, 645 Summer
street The clothes were not recov
cred, but Captain Strumpher of the
Calumet Detective association. put his
dogs on the trail and they lead him
TO several hundred pounds of cured
meat, which had been stolen from car
and was seereted on a vacant lot in the
vicinity of the c., c. & L. yards
That there is a bad gang of hibh-
binders in the east part Of the city
who make the Standard Steel Car
company houses their rendezvous is
certain, and the police intend to make a
strenuous effort to rout them out.
Put Hounds on the Trail.
AS soon as the clothes were stolen
from the Collins home 1t was suspect
ed that the foreigners in East Ham
mond were the guilty persons. The
bloodhounds belonging to strumpher
and Cummings of the Calumet Detec-
tive association were called for and
were placed on the trail.
The dogs led the detectives and po-
lice officers straight to the Standard
district and there indicated that they
had taken refuge in an outhouse. The
officers investigated, but were unable
to discover any traces of the man with
the clothes.
While they were working around the
neighborhood, some one threw a brick
through the window of saloon The
crash of breaking glass attracted the
attention of the officers. They though
it was a ruse to attract their attention
from the fugitives so that they woulC
have time to escape.
However. they determined to take
after the man who had thrown the
brick The dogs were given the seen
from the brick and Immediately started
out through the country in the vicinity
of the Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisvill,
yards.
Find Robbers Loot.
Here they ran across several boxes o
meat which had been stolen from th'
cars in the c., c, & L. yards. Captain
Strumpher Immediately set a guart
over the provisions, of which ther
were several hundred pounds. an,
sent for some one to take them to
place of safety The provisions con
sisted of several boxes of hams AM
bacons.
The police are still working on tn
case. and Chief of Police Austgen i

the offenders sooner or later. He hope
to rid the East Hammond neighbor

will not have such a bad reputation.

MEETS With ACCIDENT
Times Stereotyper Has a
Narrow Escape With
Machinery Saturday.

Henry Optholt of THE TIMES stereo-
ty. ng room met with an accident on
Saturday that was a narrow escape
from being badly mangled for him.
The right sleeve of his jumper was
caught in the betting on flying
wheel and drew it into the machinery.
BY a quick display of presence of mind
and strength Optholt tore his right
arm from the coat after it had been
badly wrenched and bruised.
The injured member was given medi-
cal attention, but Optholt will not be
able to work for several days, as his
arm gives him intense pain.

GOULD
HARDLY BELIEVE IT.
At 8 O'clock Interurban Gap
Between South Bend and
Chicago Is Closed.
RURAL RESIDENTS REJOICING
Citizens of Hegewisch Now Find
That They Are at Last
on the Map.

Although it was not until o'clock
last evening that the first car start
ed on the trip that was to close up
the gap in the line of the Chicago,
Lake Shore and South Bend line be-
tween Hammond and Chicago, there
was a large and enthusiastic crowd of
Burnham and Hegewisch people wait
ing for its arrival.
When the car pulled into Hegewisch
and stopped to take on passengers, the
people of the Chicago suburb yelled
themselves hoarse and threw their hats
into the air in wild demonstrations of
joy
The passage of that car and the two
others that trailed on behind it through
the city put Hegewisch on the map.
The people knew it and after the hard
tussle they had with Grey Wolf Nc
Inererny, they could hardly realize that
electric suburban service is at last a
fact
Everybody Rides Free.
The officials of the line, who were
on the car, invited the people of the
village to get aboard and under electric
power the cars sped to Kensington and
Pullman, where the Kensington and
Eastern runs over the right of way of
the Illinois Central railroad.
1t was a great day for Hegewisch.
It meant the beginning of a new era
and it was also a great day for all of
the cities of the Calumet region, through
which the line puasses.
That Indianapolis will soon have di-
rect interurban service to Chicago is
regarded as certain by Indianapolis
traction men in consequence of the an
nouncement in Chicago yesterday OF
the proposed opening of the Kensing-
| ton & Eastern railroad, operating be-
| tween Kensington, Ill, and a terminal
near Sixty third street in Chicago.

Wheat Growing in Mississippi.

That the wheat growing talk which
Mississippi press IS neither a bluff
nor a mere diffusion of hot air is
clearly proven by the fact that in a
number of localities arrangements
are actually being made to construct
FIGURING mills, the mill owner having
in each case Pledged a sufficient num-
Der of farmers to plant d sufficient
acreage in wheat to support it.
The plan is a cooperative one, the
farmers desiring to have convenient
mills and the rnil1ers wanting CON
venient grist, and a sufficient guam
tity OF it for the capacity of the mills,
which will vary with the resources
OF the various localities.
Thus far the idea Is confined al
most exclusively to the northern sec
tons, but will doubtless spread If
the crop proves success, as a mum
Der of the older citizens declare it
was before the war. There appears
to be no reason why the soil should
not do as we'll now as then
The latest instances where mills
are now assured to the farmers and
where wheat is assured TO the mills
are in Leake county, where fifty
farmers have already pledged them
selves to grow from two to five acres
and a citizen we'll able to do so, has
arranged to put in the mill. Other
farmers are being brought into the
deal as fast as they can be induced
to join.
In Winston county the owner OF
another kind of mill has agreed tc
add a Touring mill and the farmers
have pledged themselves to plant as
much as 400 acres in wheat to sup
port it. This Is done at the instance
of the farmers themselves.
In Tishomingo county a large mill
is to be built, using large creeks "a
the motive power. without pledges OF
any kind, and not even dependent
upon the local crop. although en-
couraging the planting OF wheat.

Farce Of a Life Sentence

What misnomer and ridiculous
travesty a sentence OF life imprisou-
ment Is. IS strinkingly and wildly
shown by the recent publication Of
the names Of the men who are now
serving life terms in the Mississippi
penitentiary.
Not one OF them has served ten
years
All the rest OF the numbers who
have been sent up previous to 1900
have been pardoned, except a few
who may have died in prison
How much determined power does
life sentence carry with it when the
recipient and everybody else knows
that if the criminal lives ten years he
will be pardoned and given an op-
portunity to kill some other person,
if so disposed, and he often Is, for it
is a we'll known fact in criminology
that a person who has once shed hu-
man blood appears to be possessed
with lust for it thereafter.
And yet, with these facts matter
OF public record. our juries compla-
Gently go on finding verdicts that
carry life sentences that only really
mean detention of few years.
What solemn farce this whole
thing Is.

Assistant Attorney General George
Butler has issued an official opinion
10 the Board Of Supervisors of At
ala county. in which he reiterates
the ruling that boards of supervisors
have no right TO offer or pay re
wards for the recapture OF escaped
county prisoners. He points out
that this Is the legal duty of the sher-
iff cohstables, supervisors and Gus
todfan of prisoners to apprehend
such escaped prisoners, and that alter
being recaptured the prisoner is him
self subject to Indictment for escap-
ing, which is made a felony under
the law. and he may be sent TO the
penitentiary for that offense For
making the capture it has formerly
been held that the sheriff is entitled
to arrest fees as in the case of any
other arrest. when the charge Of es-
Gaping is preferred.
