SHOOTS At
DOG BUT HITS
MILK Can

officer John Okraj is one of the best
policemen on the West Hammond po-
lice force but when it comes to his
craftsmanship he had better get out
with the Hammond police and try his
craftsmanship at the lake front.
Johns wea akness as a marksman was
proved this morning, when he shot at
a dog and put a bullet through a can
full of milk that was being carried by
John Powell, the milk dealer.
Powell was the innocent bystander;
that is, his milk can was. He saw
the dog, saw the officer shoot and a
minute later noticed that his can was
getting lighter and that the milk was
dripping out of two holes in it, one on
either side.
The leaden pellet had gone clear
through the can. That it did not hit
the milk dealer himself is the best
piece of good fortune that he has had
in many a day. Hereafter John Okra
will catch his dogs and tie them to &
stake in a forty acre lot before he at
tempts to shoot them.

FIRE CHIEF
HAD TO SETTLE

Chief swenie> of the Chicago fire de-
partment. in company with four friends
in an automobile, ran into a buggy
containing the two children Of William
Boldt, two miles west of Hobart, and
was compelled to settle for $25 to evade
arrest.
The accident happened at about 9
o'clock last evening. and when JChief
swenie% was stopped by Marshal Fred
Rose he did not reveal his identity at
the time. but left his machine as a
guarantee that he would pay what
ever damage was done.
He sent a man out yesterday to get
the machine and make a settlement.
William Boldt was given $25 with
which to repair the damage that had
been done to the buggy. The children
were not hurt.
In the meantime Marshal Fred Rose
had gone into Chicago CO. the case and
learned the identity of the owner of
the machine. 1t was no other than
Chief Swenie, of the fire department.

CHARGED
BY GIRL WITH
An ATTACK
Especial to The TIMEs.)

East Chicago, Ind. July %. = John
Mcclure is in the city jail at East Chi
cago on the charge of attempting an
attack on the person of the little Mier-
bach girl. The little girl is only six
years old. and Mcclure is alleged to
have attempted to mistreat her on Chi
cago avenue in the vicinity of the Re
public Iron and Steel companys plant
The attack occurred last night and
Mcguire was arrested by the East Chi
cago police this morning. Previous to
his arrest a description of him had
been sent to the police of all of the
cities of the region.
The herring was to have been held in
East Chicago this morning, but owing
to the fact that the grandmother of
the little girl is sick and not expected
to live, the trial of the case was post
poned.
Mcclure is described as being about
80 years old and feet s inches in
heighth. The police think they have
enough evidence to convict their man
and the trial win occur tomorrow OF
next day. Mcguire Is held without
bond.

SOAP BOX
HAS GONE

Attorney William Sickman the mod
ern Diogenes of Hammond who differs
from the ancient Greek only IN that
the [. D. uses a soap box whereas the
A. C. is reported to have used an or
dinary Standard Oil barrel, has again
been deprived his soap box. This is
not the first time and consequently the
lawyer is in a mood to use language
not fit for the ear of the court" as he
is wont to say in his divorce complaints.
The sage of Hammond has been hold
ing down various soap boxes in front
of the First National Bank building
entrance on Sibley street ever since
the sun shone warm. Another peculiar
coincidence is that Attorney Branden-
burg's bicycle disappears about just as
regularly. This wheel stands near the
soap box.
1t has been learned that other peo-
pie have availed themselved of the
seat when the sage departs for his
meals. and clews Will be followed first
of all along these lines. After this
Mr. Sickman will search various wood
sheds in Hammond with the idea Of
Identifying his seat.
But woe to the guilty man.

BIG DEAL IS
CLOSED TODAY
Gostlin Meyn s CO. Buy 2l4 Lots
From Webb Estate and Will
Put Them on Market

to Hammond this morning and announc-
ed the sale of the property. Mr.. Webb
intended to increase the price of the
lots from 1915 to $500 each. and Cost
lin. Meyn & Co took advantage of this
opportunity to buy the property before
the price was raised.
One Of the interesting things about
the purchase is the fact that as there
are only PA of these lots left and no
purchaser win be sold less than fifty
feet there is only room for but 107 more
families in Homewood.
Frank s. Betz and John T. Fitzger-
aid are both interested in the purchase
and are associated with Gostlin, Meyn
& Co, in this enterprise With this men
also back of the enterprise the success
of the project is assured.
. Other Efforts Failed.
Several efforts have been made on
the part of individuals. of late, to Sc
cure blocks of Homewood property as
a speculation but they have failed on
account of Mr.. Webb's indifference in
the matter.
He would not make any reduction in
price no matter how many lots were
sold. 1t is this attitude on his part
which makes it apparent that Gostlin.
Nfeyn & Co paid very nearly the mar
ket price for the property
The purchase involves lots on Hyslop
place. Park place, Mason street, Ruth
street Waltham street. Elizabeth streb
| Charlotte street and Detroit street
GostIin Once Owned Land.
This land is all high and is admiral
| ly suited for residence purposes. The
property in this vicinity was made
I valuable through the purchase by the
! city of about forty acres of land for
| park purposes. Since the establishment
/ of Harrison park property values have
doubled and HOmewood offers the best
kind of an argument for the city beau
tiful idea.
1T is an interesting fact that at one
! time Postmaster v. II. Gostlin was a
part owner in the property which the
firm. Of which he Is a member, has just
purchased at such a fancy figure. Mr.
Gostlin sold his interest to Albert H
| Webb and the firm of Warren and Cost
lin became the firm of Warren anc
Webb. Mr.. Webb then purchased Mr.
Warren's interest in the subdivision
and for the past eight or ten years has
owned 1t himself.
1t is understood that the firm O.
Kaufman and Walf was planning t,
purchase the estate but were beaten tt
the bargain by Gostlin, Meyn & Co b,
two days.

RESORT
KEEPER
PAYS GRAFT
Mrs. Anna Kuminski on
Calumet Lake Complains
That She Is Paying Chi
cago Police $50 Per Year
for Protection.

The people of Hegewisch and Ham
mond have often wondered why the
resorts and vicious places on Lake Cal
umet are allowed to thrive The true
reason is now coming out in Chicago.
Stories of graft of all sorts are drift
ing into the states attorneys office.
One story. which came to the attention
of Assistant States Attorney Thomas
Marshall yesterday afternoon, charged
that the greed Of graft had spread even
to the boundaries of Lake Calumet and
that the proprietors of resorts near the
lake had to pay a yearly tribute for
the privilege of selling drinks without
a license.
Mrs. Anna Kuminski, keeper of a
resort at One Hundred and Eighth
street and Lake Calumet. complained
to the states attorney that she was a
victim of the grafters and that two
police officials had successfully held
her up for three years. She said that
she had been paying $50 a year for
the privilege of selling drinks. This
price. she said. was charged all of the
resort keepers on the east side of the
lake.
on the west side of the lake she
said that the tribute peld was $50 by
each keeper for the same privilege
Efforts were made last night to keeT
the fact quiet that Mrs. Kuminski ha6
told her story to Assistant States At
torney Marshall She Will be summoned
summoned as Il witness before the jury
either today or tomorrow, and in tn,
meantime detectives from the state:

matter and interview other resor
keepers along the lake.
