terday, were Mortified to see a baby run
down by a grocery wagon which was
being driven at breakneck speed down
the thoroughfare.
The child was the 2-year-old son of
Tom Ywano of Cedar street and the
wagon was the property of Joe Topay-
ma, the grocer. The vehicle was being
driven by a young boy, Steve Kloska,

injuries he had inflicted on the victim
of the accident The little ones leg
was broken.

Joe Efola. the fritu dealer, was frs

form into the house where a physician
was called to attend the child. A

Colored Female Degenerates
Crazed With Whisky and
Morphine Fight Like
Fiends When Gary Police
Officers Arrest Them.

Two colored women. Edna Mcdonnell
and Beatrice Mcfarland. both filled
with craze producing morphine and
whiskey, fought each other Sunday
morning on the corner of Fifteenth
avenue and Washington street with
beer bottles as weapons until every
vestige of clothing was torn from their
bodies, and bruised and lacerated were
handcuffed and brought to the police
station in vehicles.
The affair was one Of the most dis
graceful ever witnessed in Gary. After
they had fought each other viciously
with beer bottles, hands and feet. and
seemingly with murder in their hearts,
they turned upon the officers as they
placed them under arrest and fought so
madly that two police were required to
hold each one of them down.
All Night Debauch.
The deplorable wrangle occurred
after an all night debauch in which
morphine figured prominently. This
drug followed by the use of intoxi-
eating liquors made them both fairly
wild and when the fight commenced it
| seemed as If one of them would surely
be killed. A riot call was sent in to
Chief Martin hurried TO the place.
Much damage had been done before
they could place them under arrest,
however. A section of the upper lip
| OF the Mcfarland woman was hanging
| by thread and her opponent was
bruised and bleeding in a dozen diff
ferent places where the beer bottles
had done their deadly work.
The officers took the women to the
station in a wagon, and never have they
had more desperate men or women
to handle. They bit, scratched and
screamed.
Fought With Officers.
They kicked the officers, and will
almost superhuman strength tried Il
break away from them. On the Other
hand the officers were compelled Il
handle them with more severity thar
the majority of men. They did every
thing in their power to make then
peacefully to the station, but thi.
proved useless. After their hands hac
been handcuffed like ordinary thieve
or murderers, they resorted to biting

i could not do without it. but after
many years of suffering with our ma

for many years, the vital forces low,
with but little pain. I wrote her of
the good that Postum did me and

ing special rates for the State Wide

the policy of the Santa Fe since the
two cent rate went into effect not to
take the initiative in granting reduced
rates for special attractions such as
state fairs and the like. The Santa
Fe has sought to make a fair test of
the two cent rate, and this cannot be
done when special rates are granted
for such occasions. In the cases of
Hutchinson and Wichita our low
rates were necessitated because of
other roads granting reduced rates If
one road takes the initiative then of
course the other roads have to make
the same rate
Mr. Connell also intimated that no
requests for reduced rates had been
made for his road, until late last
week.
