The ORIGINAL
Thief GONE
Foreigner Taken Prisoner
Says Countryman Robbed
the Hammond Office.

The recent arrest by Marshal Edward
Klopf. of Miller. of William Dromdof-
ski for passing stolen tickets on the
South Shore cars. reveals the theft of
5000 worth of tickets from the inter
urban office at Hammond, which oc
Cured about two months ago and
which has never been made public be-
cause of the fact that it was believed
that the thief could be caught.
Marshal IIlopf who was in Gary yes
terday. stated that the prisoner had at
tempted to pass several of the tickets
en- the train. 1t was possible to dis
tinguish the stolen ones from the other
tickets because of the fact that they
were not stamped All of them We're
from Hammond to Gary and from Ham
mond to Hudson Lake.
Accuses Another Foreigner.
A hard sweating of the fugitive by
Klopf failed to secure a confession
from him that he stole the tickets. The
story, wh.ca he told. however. is that a
man named karnopsky gave him 400
Of the tickets. good for rides between
Hammond and Gary. This man. he
says. has quit his job in the steel plant
and weerts-ts f5i4sren.- Pa. -oromdofsIxi Is
employed by the Indiana steel company
at Gary where he was working at the
time Of his arrest.
Kiopf and several other men have
been working on this case for the past
six weeks. They knew that the tickets
would be easily distinguished by the
conductors because of the fact that
none of them were stamped. After the
suspected man had passed three or foul
of them he was taken to the Miller
Jail The 400 tickets. which the pris
oner said were given him, were re-
covered.

WOMAN STOPS AUTOMOBILE.
Saves Her Own Life and Life of Her
Friend. -! ...

Stroudsburg, Pa, July 16.-With
consummate pluck and daring, Mrs.
Chas. Imperatorii, wife of a New
York physician, and a daughter Of
W. A. Gilbert, the well-known- silk
mill proprietor, climbed to the steer
ing wheel of her fathers high-pow-
cred automobile as it was running
away down a steep hill on the link
of the Highland Country Club yes
terday, preventing loss of life and
serious damage to the car.
Mrs. Charles B. Staples, wife of
Presiding Judge of Monroe and Pike
District, and Mrs. Imperatorii were
seated in the tonneau when Mr.. Gill
bert started to crank the machine
in front. Suddenly the machine
leaped forward, knocking Mr.. Gilbert
down and heading toward the crest
of the hill. Leaping up, Mrs. I'M
peratorii reached over the back of
the drivers seat in an endeavor to
get hold of the steering wheel, but
1t was too far away. Then she climb
ed around the side of the car, reach
ed the wheel and in a standing pos
ture steered it around curve at the
root of the hill into the roadway.
Mrs. Staples, attempting to a1ight
from the machine at the foot OF the
hill, fell and was slightly injured.

Many of the home-comers were re-

when they could be up against the

that drives heavy cares away and
loosens the valve of smiles and hi

for anything except the prelimi-
naries. -
The same thing that made Mil
waukee famous made the dinner at
Blewett's Falls the best dinner at all.
and the picnic a grand success. Al
ter having the best time at all, the
merry, good-humored crowd gave
