Joe Stega, aged 6, has been continual

Yesterday Mrs. Stega received a Wis
it from her sister, Mrs. Mary Corbell,
of Blue Island All went well until
evening, when Mrs. Corbell decided to
go home, she being accompanied to the
train by Mrs. Stega and two children,
little Joe and a younger daughter.
After the train had pulled out Joe
was nowhere to be found. After search
ing for over an hour, the frantic moth
er appealed to the police. saying the
only thing she could think of which
could have become of her son, was his
getting on the train with his aunt.
Sergeant Collins telephoned to the
Blue Island police, and after waiting
about one hour for Mrs. Corbell to re
turn home, they telephoned back t
Whiting that the youngster was with

Watch Repairing

If your watch has gone
wrong, all out of fix and
needs a doctor, you will
find it will be wise to take
it to a man of known abil-
ity and skill-a specialist.
You will generally save
time, money and annoy
ance by so doing. An I'M
skilled workman will of
ten make the effort and
more tinkering will be the
result sure. Why not get
a good man on the job in
the first place. S. Silver,
the expert watch makert
and jeweler, No. 265 East
State street, two doors
from the Bijou Theatre,
guarantees all his work.

East Chicago. Ind, MAY 1O-Hector
Ross. the king of Beacon street. is dead.
He was struck by a South Shore inter-
urban car near White Oak avenue yes
terday, and Iimped home with brok-
en- shoulder, after which he was killed
by a bullet from the gun Of officer
Leo Mccormick. His death was pre-
ceded by a struggle, al an attempt to
administer chloroform was made pre-
vious TO the shooting, and Hector. di
vining that something was amiss, put
up a game fight for his life, attacking
the officer. who was compelled to shoot
in self-defense. In the meantime sew
eraI spectators who loved the brave
dog looked on in tears. but of course
could do nothing to ease the situation.
Hector was a valuable collie and was
owned by the family of George w Ross
of Beacon street. He was the special
pet Of George Jr., and not a child in
Beacon street but who was attached
TO him because of his lovable dispo-
sition and knowing ways
Hector, however. had one bad hab-
it, He would bark at every interur-
ban car that passed the rear of his
home His small master had done ali
in his power to break him of the hab-
it, had coaxed. threatened, commanded
and even cuffed him on several occa-
slons. but Hector continued in his hab-
it and it Is believed that this was re-
sponsible for his death
Mrs Ross and the family did mo-
know that anything had happened Il
their pet, until a neighbor called theil
attention to the fact, and a search O
the premises revealed poor Hector ly
ing on the cellar way landing. wher,
he had his bed, bleeding at the mouth
and with one paw hanging limp an,
powerless. George Jr. at once dissolvet
in tears and Mrs. Ross FASTENED to cal
a veterinarian at Hammond, but tn
latter CHANGED to be out and a neigh
Dor was called upon for advice. TIL
neighbor diagnosed Hector's case a
hopeless, and it was decided to end tn
animals misery by having him shot
Officer Leo Mccormick came over TO d
the shooting. and a family counsel wa
held at which the officer was included

MEETS HIS FATE YESTERDAY

and the chloroform method was de-
cided upon as the more merciful.
When the chloroform arrived. how
ever, Hector seemed to realize that
there were designs upon his life. for
he rushed at the officer and despite his
wounds would have bitten him. had
the latter not pulled his gun, AS it
was. it required several shots to end
his life.
Little Gerge is iuconsolable over the
loss of his pet and his sisters, Dorothy
and Marion, share his grief. In fact,
there is not a child in Beacon street

New York, May 1o.-Wan street has
seen a belated demand for investments
the last week that had almost the ap-
pearance of a genuine bull market The
exciting cause was the decision of the
supreme court in favor of the railroads
in the anthracite cases This decision
stirred up all business interests in the
country and a food of orders over
whelmed the steel trust. the copper
producing companies and all industri-
al concerns Some of the great rail-
roads began putting in orders that had
been withheld many months more than
they should have been. Silver con-
tinued strong on Asiatic demand. and
the history of the week was one of
increasing excitement. So great was
the enthusiasm that bad crop re-
port on winter wheat failed TO check
the advance.

I. The service is already ten days be-
hind their schedule OF starting and
nothing definite is known yet of when

Most of the grading west of this point
has also been completed. Owing to the
manner in which the roadbed is being
constructed the completion of the road
will take longer than it ordinarily
would 1t is believed, however, that
cars will be running into Gary late in
the fall.
