David Johnston, the notorious Gary
resort keeper. who claims that Rod

Johnston has testified that at the
time the fire was discovered he saw
Rodman leaving the place and that
the fugitive was close enough to make
complete Identification possible
He says he fired three shots at him
and was afraid to fire any more for
fear Of hitting an inocent bystander.
There are a large number Of negro
witnesses present at the hearing and
the interest in the case is considerable.

FLYER IS
FLAGGED

Trainmen Chase Young
Scamp Who Stopped a
Train on Nickel Plate
With Newspaper, But He
Jumps Into River.

The Nickel Plate flyer. which leaves
Hammond at 11:25 a. m, make its first
stop at Valparaiso on Sunday only. was
tagged with a newspaper by a.
year-old boy at Van Loon. the first stop
east of Hessville. and the youngster
only escaped from the engineer by
swimming across the little Calumet riv-
er. which flows along the railroad tracks
at this point.
There were score or more people
along the banks of the river picnicking
and fishing, and it is not known wheth-
er or not tho boy was a resident of the
neighborhood.
As the engineer approached the bridge
across the river at this point he no
ticed boy frantically waving some
thing white. He put on the emergen-
cy brakes and brought the train to a
full stop. thinking there was something
the matter with the bridge.
Boy Gets Away.
The train had no more than come to
a standstiu when the boy made off
through the willows along the river.
The was so enraged at his conduct that
he took after him and chased him for
some distance.
The boy, seeing that he was about
to be caught. plunged into the river
with his clothes on and seemed to swim
to the other side. but spectators lost
sight of him. The conductor and
brakeman Joined in the search for the
youngster, but he managed to escape.
The train was delayed about five min
utes by the episode. but the train crew
did not propose TO take any chances
with the bridge. even if the train was
tagged by boy with newspaper.
Judging from the fact that the young
ster was hatless and wore a pair of
blue overalls, it is presumed that he
was one Of the village cut-ups.

RIDICULE The REPORT

The report that G. h ingalls, is to be
the successor Of General superintendent
Ryder. who died some time ago, is ridi-
culed in railroad circles at Gibson.
G. H. ingalls, is the present freight
manager of the New York Central lines.
and railroad men say he would no
more think of accepting the position Of
general superintendent of the Indiana
Harbor Belt railroad than E. H. Harri-
man would think Of being boss on a
section gang on the Monon railroad.
An inquiry at the office of the Indi-
ana Harbor Belt railroad reveals the
fact that the successor of Mr.. Ryder
has not yet been selected, and the pa

firmation Of every story is about as far

That the contractors in charge of the

to be seen. Much sentiment is being
expressed against the delay in the

see that the contractors Immediately

The weather upon which everything
depended could not have been better,

The companies from Valparaiso, Ho-
bart. Chesterton and Robertsdale were
represented. Although there were many
here from Chesterton this team did not

Ing a tournament is held. Each year
another team drops out and this year
Crown Point was not represented by
one lone man.
The Whiting and other teams who
competed think Crown Point is play

phies for the hook and ladder race,
for the dry hose race. which is an
aluminium hat, which they won last
year.

been turned over for the tournament,

as to the ultimate outcome of the trou-

further to the men. He replied that in
such an event he foresees arbitration
rather than a strike. 1t is believed by
some persons that a secret referendum
vote on the proposition, which was re-

a fraction of the members of the un-

in the acceptance Of the offer of the

That every effort will be made by the

Both sides seem to be fair about the
matter and are willing to make con-
